In arena_ralloc_large_grow(), update the map element for the end of the newly grown run, rather than the interior map element that was the beginning of the appended run. This is a long-standing bug, and it had the potential to cause massive corruption, but triggering it required roughly the following sequence of events: 1) Large in-place growing realloc(), with left-over space in the run that followed the large object. 2) Allocation of the remainder run left over from (1). 3) Deallocation of the remainder run *before* deallocation of the large run, with unfortunate interior map state left over from previous run allocation/deallocation activity, such that one or more pages of allocated memory would be treated as part of the remainder run during run coalescing. In summary, this was a bad bug, but it was difficult to trigger. In arena_bin_malloc_hard(), if another thread wins the race to allocate a bin run, dispose of the spare run via arena_bin_lower_run() rather than arena_run_dalloc(), since the run has already been prepared for use as a bin run. This bug has existed since March 14, 2010: e00572b384c81bd2aba57fac32f7077a34388915 mmap()/munmap() without arena->lock or bin->lock. Fix bugs in arena_dalloc_bin_run(), arena_trim_head(), arena_trim_tail(), and arena_ralloc_large_grow() that could cause the CHUNK_MAP_UNZEROED map bit to become corrupted. These are all long-standing bugs, but the chances of them actually causing problems was much lower before the CHUNK_MAP_ZEROED --> CHUNK_MAP_UNZEROED conversion. Fix a large run statistics regression in arena_ralloc_large_grow() that was introduced on September 17, 2010: 8e3c3c61b5bb676a705450708e7e79698cdc9e0c Add {,r,s,d}allocm(). Add debug code to validate that supposedly pre-zeroed memory really is.
jemalloc is a general-purpose scalable concurrent malloc(3) implementation. This distribution is a stand-alone "portable" implementation that currently targets only Linux. 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. URL: http://www.canonware.com/jemalloc/
