Add a configure test to determine whether common mmap()/munmap() patterns cause VM map holes, and only use munmap() to discard unused chunks if the problem does not exist. Unify the chunk caching for mmap and dss. Fix options processing to limit lg_chunk to be large enough that redzones will always fit.
jemalloc is a general-purpose scalable concurrent malloc(3) implementation. This distribution is a stand-alone "portable" implementation that currently targets FreeBSD, Linux and Apple OS X. jemalloc is included as the default allocator in the FreeBSD and NetBSD operating systems, and it is used by the Mozilla Firefox web browser on Microsoft Windows-related platforms. Depending on your needs, one of the other divergent versions may suit your needs better than this distribution. 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://www.canonware.com/jemalloc/
