Migrate all centralized data structures related to huge allocations and recyclable chunks into arena_t, so that each arena can manage huge allocations and recyclable virtual memory completely independently of other arenas. Add chunk node caching to arenas, in order to avoid contention on the base allocator. Use chunks_rtree to look up huge allocations rather than a red-black tree. Maintain a per arena unsorted list of huge allocations (which will be needed to enumerate huge allocations during arena reset). Remove the --enable-ivsalloc option, make ivsalloc() always available, and use it for size queries if --enable-debug is enabled. The only practical implications to this removal are that 1) ivsalloc() is now always available during live debugging (and the underlying radix tree is available during core-based debugging), and 2) size query validation can no longer be enabled independent of --enable-debug. Remove the stats.chunks.{current,total,high} mallctls, and replace their underlying statistics with simpler atomically updated counters used exclusively for gdump triggering. These statistics are no longer very useful because each arena manages chunks independently, and per arena statistics provide similar information. Simplify chunk synchronization code, now that base chunk allocation cannot cause recursive lock acquisition. |

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/
