Fix lg_chunk clamping to take into account cache-oblivious large allocation. This regression only resulted in incorrect behavior if !config_fill (false unless --disable-fill specified) and config_cache_oblivious (true unless --disable-cache-oblivious specified). This regression was introduced by 8a03cf039cd06f9fa6972711195055d865673966 (Implement cache index randomization for large allocations.), which was first released in 4.0.0. This resolves #555.
jemalloc is a general purpose malloc(3) implementation that emphasizes fragmentation avoidance and scalable concurrency support. jemalloc first came into use as the FreeBSD libc allocator in 2005, and since then it has found its way into numerous applications that rely on its predictable behavior. In 2010 jemalloc development efforts broadened to include developer support features such as heap profiling, Valgrind integration, and extensive monitoring/tuning hooks. Modern jemalloc releases continue to be integrated back into FreeBSD, and therefore versatility remains critical. Ongoing development efforts trend toward making jemalloc among the best allocators for a broad range of demanding applications, and eliminating/mitigating weaknesses that have practical repercussions for real world applications. The COPYING file contains copyright and licensing information. The INSTALL file contains information on how to configure, build, and install jemalloc. The ChangeLog file contains a brief summary of changes for each release. URL: http://jemalloc.net/
