Really, this isn't a functional change, just a naming change. We start thinking of pageslabs as being always in the psset. What we used to think of as removal is now thought of as being in the psset, but in the process of being updated (and therefore, unavalable for serving new allocations). This is in preparation of subsequent changes to support deferred purging; allocations will still be in the psset for the purposes of choosing when to purge, but not for purposes of allocation/deallocation.
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 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/
