When using LinuxThreads, malloc bootstrapping deadlocks, since malloc_tsd_boot0() ends up calling pthread_setspecific(), which causes recursive allocation. Fix it by moving the malloc_tsd_boot0() call to malloc_init_hard_recursible(). The deadlock was introduced by 8bb3198f72fc7587dc93527f9f19fb5be52fa553 (Refactor/fix arenas manipulation.), when tsd_boot() was split and the top half, tsd_boot0(), got an extra tsd_wrapper_set() call.
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://www.canonware.com/jemalloc/
