The previous approach managed the thread name in a separate buffer, which causes races because the thread name update (triggered by new samples) can happen at the same time as prof dumping (which reads the thread names) -- these two operations are under separate locks to avoid blocking each other. Implemented the thread name storage as part of the tdata struct, which resolves the lifetime issue and also avoids internal alloc / dalloc during prof_sample.
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: https://jemalloc.net/
