b2c0d6322d2307458ae2b28545f8a5c9903d7ef5 (Add witness, a simple online locking validator.) caused a broad propagation of tsd throughout the internal API, but tsd_fetch() was designed to fail prior to tsd bootstrapping. Fix this by splitting tsd_t into non-nullable tsd_t and nullable tsdn_t, and modifying all internal APIs that do not critically rely on tsd to take nullable pointers. Furthermore, add the tsd_booted_get() function so that tsdn_fetch() can probe whether tsd bootstrapping is complete and return NULL if not. All dangerous conversions of nullable pointers are tsdn_tsd() calls that assert-fail on invalid conversion.
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/
