-Following are change highlights associated with official releases. Important
-bug fixes are all mentioned, but some internal enhancements are omitted here for
-brevity. Much more detail can be found in the git revision history:
-
- https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc
-
-* 4.3.1 (November 7, 2016)
-
- Bug fixes:
- - Fix a severe virtual memory leak. This regression was first released in
- 4.3.0. (@interwq, @jasone)
- - Refactor atomic and prng APIs to restore support for 32-bit platforms that
- use pre-C11 toolchains, e.g. FreeBSD's mips. (@jasone)
-
-* 4.3.0 (November 4, 2016)
-
- This is the first release that passes the test suite for multiple Windows
- configurations, thanks in large part to @glandium setting up continuous
- integration via AppVeyor (and Travis CI for Linux and OS X).
-
- New features:
- - Add "J" (JSON) support to malloc_stats_print(). (@jasone)
- - Add Cray compiler support. (@ronawho)
-
- Optimizations:
- - Add/use adaptive spinning for bootstrapping and radix tree node
- initialization. (@jasone)
-
- Bug fixes:
- - Fix large allocation to search starting in the optimal size class heap,
- which can substantially reduce virtual memory churn and fragmentation. This
- regression was first released in 4.0.0. (@mjp41, @jasone)
- - Fix stats.arenas.<i>.nthreads accounting. (@interwq)
- - Fix and simplify decay-based purging. (@jasone)
- - Make DSS (sbrk(2)-related) operations lockless, which resolves potential
- deadlocks during thread exit. (@jasone)
- - Fix over-sized allocation of radix tree leaf nodes. (@mjp41, @ogaun,
- @jasone)
- - Fix over-sized allocation of arena_t (plus associated stats) data
- structures. (@jasone, @interwq)
- - Fix EXTRA_CFLAGS to not affect configuration. (@jasone)

- 4.2.0. (@vsarunas, @jasone)
- - Fix static linking of jemalloc with glibc. (@djwatson)
- - Use syscall(2) rather than {open,read,close}(2) during boot on Linux. This
- works around other libraries' system call wrappers performing reentrant
- allocation. (@kspinka, @Whissi, @jasone)
- - Fix OS X default zone replacement to work with OS X 10.12. (@glandium,
- @jasone)
- - Fix cached memory management to avoid needless commit/decommit operations
- during purging, which resolves permanent virtual memory map fragmentation
- issues on Windows. (@mjp41, @jasone)
- - Fix TSD fetches to avoid (recursive) allocation. This is relevant to
- non-TLS and Windows configurations. (@jasone)
- - Fix malloc_conf overriding to work on Windows. (@jasone)
- - Forcibly disable lazy-lock on Windows (was forcibly *enabled*). (@jasone)
-
-* 4.2.1 (June 8, 2016)
-
- Bug fixes:
- - Fix bootstrapping issues for configurations that require allocation during
- tsd initialization (e.g. --disable-tls). (@cferris1000, @jasone)

-
-* 4.2.0 (May 12, 2016)
-
- New features:
- - Add the arena.<i>.reset mallctl, which makes it possible to discard all of
- an arena's allocations in a single operation. (@jasone)

- - Add the --with-version configure option. (@jasone)
- - Support --with-lg-page values larger than actual page size. (@jasone)
-
- Optimizations:
- - Use pairing heaps rather than red-black trees for various hot data
- structures. (@djwatson, @jasone)
- - Streamline fast paths of rtree operations. (@jasone)
- - Optimize the fast paths of calloc() and [m,d,sd]allocx(). (@jasone)
- - Decommit unused virtual memory if the OS does not overcommit. (@jasone)
- - Specify MAP_NORESERVE on Linux if [heuristic] overcommit is active, in order
- to avoid unfortunate interactions during fork(2). (@jasone)
-
- Bug fixes:
- - Fix chunk accounting related to triggering gdump profiles. (@jasone)
- - Link against librt for clock_gettime(2) if glibc < 2.17. (@jasone)
- - Scale leak report summary according to sampling probability. (@jasone)
-
-* 4.1.1 (May 3, 2016)
-
- This bugfix release resolves a variety of mostly minor issues, though the
- bitmap fix is critical for 64-bit Windows.
-
- Bug fixes:
- - Fix the linear scan version of bitmap_sfu() to shift by the proper amount
- even when sizeof(long) is not the same as sizeof(void *), as on 64-bit
- Windows. (@jasone)
- - Fix hashing functions to avoid unaligned memory accesses (and resulting
- crashes). This is relevant at least to some ARM-based platforms.
- (@rkmisra)
- - Fix fork()-related lock rank ordering reversals. These reversals were
- unlikely to cause deadlocks in practice except when heap profiling was
- enabled and active. (@jasone)
- - Fix various chunk leaks in OOM code paths. (@jasone)
- - Fix malloc_stats_print() to print opt.narenas correctly. (@jasone)
- - Fix MSVC-specific build/test issues. (@rustyx, @yuslepukhin)
- - Fix a variety of test failures that were due to test fragility rather than
- core bugs. (@jasone)
-
-* 4.1.0 (February 28, 2016)
-
- This release is primarily about optimizations, but it also incorporates a lot
- of portability-motivated refactoring and enhancements. Many people worked on
- this release, to an extent that even with the omission here of minor changes
- (see git revision history), and of the people who reported and diagnosed
- issues, so much of the work was contributed that starting with this release,
- changes are annotated with author credits to help reflect the collaborative
- effort involved.
-
- New features:
- - Implement decay-based unused dirty page purging, a major optimization with
- mallctl API impact. This is an alternative to the existing ratio-based
- unused dirty page purging, and is intended to eventually become the sole
- purging mechanism. New mallctls:
- + opt.purge
- + opt.decay_time
- + arena.<i>.decay
- + arena.<i>.decay_time
- + arenas.decay_time
- + stats.arenas.<i>.decay_time
- (@jasone, @cevans87)
- - Add --with-malloc-conf, which makes it possible to embed a default
- options string during configuration. This was motivated by the desire to
- specify --with-malloc-conf=purge:decay , since the default must remain
- purge:ratio until the 5.0.0 release. (@jasone)
- - Add MS Visual Studio 2015 support. (@rustyx, @yuslepukhin)
- - Make *allocx() size class overflow behavior defined. The maximum
- size class is now less than PTRDIFF_MAX to protect applications against
- numerical overflow, and all allocation functions are guaranteed to indicate
- errors rather than potentially crashing if the request size exceeds the
- maximum size class. (@jasone)
- - jeprof:
- + Add raw heap profile support. (@jasone)
- + Add --retain and --exclude for backtrace symbol filtering. (@jasone)
-
- Optimizations:
- - Optimize the fast path to combine various bootstrapping and configuration
- checks and execute more streamlined code in the common case. (@interwq)
- - Use linear scan for small bitmaps (used for small object tracking). In
- addition to speeding up bitmap operations on 64-bit systems, this reduces
- allocator metadata overhead by approximately 0.2%. (@djwatson)
- - Separate arena_avail trees, which substantially speeds up run tree
- operations. (@djwatson)
- - Use memoization (boot-time-computed table) for run quantization. Separate
- arena_avail trees reduced the importance of this optimization. (@jasone)
- - Attempt mmap-based in-place huge reallocation. This can dramatically speed
- up incremental huge reallocation. (@jasone)
-
- Incompatible changes:
- - Make opt.narenas unsigned rather than size_t. (@jasone)
-
- Bug fixes:
- - Fix stats.cactive accounting regression. (@rustyx, @jasone)
- - Handle unaligned keys in hash(). This caused problems for some ARM systems.
- (@jasone, @cferris1000)
- - Refactor arenas array. In addition to fixing a fork-related deadlock, this
- makes arena lookups faster and simpler. (@jasone)
- - Move retained memory allocation out of the default chunk allocation
- function, to a location that gets executed even if the application installs
- a custom chunk allocation function. This resolves a virtual memory leak.
- (@buchgr)
- - Fix a potential tsd cleanup leak. (@cferris1000, @jasone)
- - Fix run quantization. In practice this bug had no impact unless
- applications requested memory with alignment exceeding one page.
- (@jasone, @djwatson)
- - Fix LinuxThreads-specific bootstrapping deadlock. (Cosmin Paraschiv)
- - jeprof:
- + Don't discard curl options if timeout is not defined. (@djwatson)
- + Detect failed profile fetches. (@djwatson)
- - Fix stats.arenas.<i>.{dss,lg_dirty_mult,decay_time,pactive,pdirty} for
- --disable-stats case. (@jasone)
-
-* 4.0.4 (October 24, 2015)
-
- This bugfix release fixes another xallocx() regression. No other regressions
- have come to light in over a month, so this is likely a good starting point
- for people who prefer to wait for "dot one" releases with all the major issues
- shaken out.
-
- Bug fixes:
- - Fix xallocx(..., MALLOCX_ZERO to zero the last full trailing page of large
- allocations that have been randomly assigned an offset of 0 when
- --enable-cache-oblivious configure option is enabled.
-
-* 4.0.3 (September 24, 2015)
-
- This bugfix release continues the trend of xallocx() and heap profiling fixes.
-
- Bug fixes:
- - Fix xallocx(..., MALLOCX_ZERO) to zero all trailing bytes of large
- allocations when --enable-cache-oblivious configure option is enabled.
- - Fix xallocx(..., MALLOCX_ZERO) to zero trailing bytes of huge allocations
- when resizing from/to a size class that is not a multiple of the chunk size.
- - Fix prof_tctx_dump_iter() to filter out nodes that were created after heap
- profile dumping started.
- - Work around a potentially bad thread-specific data initialization
- interaction with NPTL (glibc's pthreads implementation).
-
-* 4.0.2 (September 21, 2015)
-
- This bugfix release addresses a few bugs specific to heap profiling.
-
- Bug fixes:
- - Fix ixallocx_prof_sample() to never modify nor create sampled small
- allocations. xallocx() is in general incapable of moving small allocations,
- so this fix removes buggy code without loss of generality.
- - Fix irallocx_prof_sample() to always allocate large regions, even when
- alignment is non-zero.
- - Fix prof_alloc_rollback() to read tdata from thread-specific data rather
- than dereferencing a potentially invalid tctx.
-
-* 4.0.1 (September 15, 2015)
-
- This is a bugfix release that is somewhat high risk due to the amount of
- refactoring required to address deep xallocx() problems. As a side effect of
- these fixes, xallocx() now tries harder to partially fulfill requests for
- optional extra space. Note that a couple of minor heap profiling
- optimizations are included, but these are better thought of as performance
- fixes that were integral to disovering most of the other bugs.
-
- Optimizations:
- - Avoid a chunk metadata read in arena_prof_tctx_set(), since it is in the
- fast path when heap profiling is enabled. Additionally, split a special
- case out into arena_prof_tctx_reset(), which also avoids chunk metadata
- reads.
- - Optimize irallocx_prof() to optimistically update the sampler state. The
- prior implementation appears to have been a holdover from when
- rallocx()/xallocx() functionality was combined as rallocm().
-
- Bug fixes:
- - Fix TLS configuration such that it is enabled by default for platforms on
- which it works correctly.
- - Fix arenas_cache_cleanup() and arena_get_hard() to handle
- allocation/deallocation within the application's thread-specific data
- cleanup functions even after arenas_cache is torn down.
- - Fix xallocx() bugs related to size+extra exceeding HUGE_MAXCLASS.
- - Fix chunk purge hook calls for in-place huge shrinking reallocation to
- specify the old chunk size rather than the new chunk size. This bug caused
- no correctness issues for the default chunk purge function, but was
- visible to custom functions set via the "arena.<i>.chunk_hooks" mallctl.
- - Fix heap profiling bugs:
- + Fix heap profiling to distinguish among otherwise identical sample sites
- with interposed resets (triggered via the "prof.reset" mallctl). This bug
- could cause data structure corruption that would most likely result in a
- segfault.
- + Fix irealloc_prof() to prof_alloc_rollback() on OOM.
- + Make one call to prof_active_get_unlocked() per allocation event, and use
- the result throughout the relevant functions that handle an allocation
- event. Also add a missing check in prof_realloc(). These fixes protect
- allocation events against concurrent prof_active changes.
- + Fix ixallocx_prof() to pass usize_max and zero to ixallocx_prof_sample()
- in the correct order.
- + Fix prof_realloc() to call prof_free_sampled_object() after calling
- prof_malloc_sample_object(). Prior to this fix, if tctx and old_tctx were
- the same, the tctx could have been prematurely destroyed.
- - Fix portability bugs:
- + Don't bitshift by negative amounts when encoding/decoding run sizes in
- chunk header maps. This affected systems with page sizes greater than 8
- KiB.
- + Rename index_t to szind_t to avoid an existing type on Solaris.
- + Add JEMALLOC_CXX_THROW to the memalign() function prototype, in order to
- match glibc and avoid compilation errors when including both
- jemalloc/jemalloc.h and malloc.h in C++ code.
- + Don't assume that /bin/sh is appropriate when running size_classes.sh
- during configuration.
- + Consider __sparcv9 a synonym for __sparc64__ when defining LG_QUANTUM.
- + Link tests to librt if it contains clock_gettime(2).
-
-* 4.0.0 (August 17, 2015)
-
- This version contains many speed and space optimizations, both minor and
- major. The major themes are generalization, unification, and simplification.
- Although many of these optimizations cause no visible behavior change, their
- cumulative effect is substantial.
-
- New features:
- - Normalize size class spacing to be consistent across the complete size
- range. By default there are four size classes per size doubling, but this
- is now configurable via the --with-lg-size-class-group option. Also add the
- --with-lg-page, --with-lg-page-sizes, --with-lg-quantum, and
- --with-lg-tiny-min options, which can be used to tweak page and size class
- settings. Impacts:
- + Worst case performance for incrementally growing/shrinking reallocation
- is improved because there are far fewer size classes, and therefore
- copying happens less often.
- + Internal fragmentation is limited to 20% for all but the smallest size
- classes (those less than four times the quantum). (1B + 4 KiB)
- and (1B + 4 MiB) previously suffered nearly 50% internal fragmentation.
- + Chunk fragmentation tends to be lower because there are fewer distinct run
- sizes to pack.
- - Add support for explicit tcaches. The "tcache.create", "tcache.flush", and
- "tcache.destroy" mallctls control tcache lifetime and flushing, and the
- MALLOCX_TCACHE(tc) and MALLOCX_TCACHE_NONE flags to the *allocx() API
- control which tcache is used for each operation.
- - Implement per thread heap profiling, as well as the ability to
- enable/disable heap profiling on a per thread basis. Add the "prof.reset",
- "prof.lg_sample", "thread.prof.name", "thread.prof.active",
- "opt.prof_thread_active_init", "prof.thread_active_init", and
- "thread.prof.active" mallctls.
- - Add support for per arena application-specified chunk allocators, configured
- via the "arena.<i>.chunk_hooks" mallctl.
- - Refactor huge allocation to be managed by arenas, so that arenas now
- function as general purpose independent allocators. This is important in
- the context of user-specified chunk allocators, aside from the scalability
- benefits. Related new statistics:
- + The "stats.arenas.<i>.huge.allocated", "stats.arenas.<i>.huge.nmalloc",
- "stats.arenas.<i>.huge.ndalloc", and "stats.arenas.<i>.huge.nrequests"
- mallctls provide high level per arena huge allocation statistics.
- + The "arenas.nhchunks", "arenas.hchunk.<i>.size",
- "stats.arenas.<i>.hchunks.<j>.nmalloc",
- "stats.arenas.<i>.hchunks.<j>.ndalloc",
- "stats.arenas.<i>.hchunks.<j>.nrequests", and
- "stats.arenas.<i>.hchunks.<j>.curhchunks" mallctls provide per size class
- statistics.
- - Add the 'util' column to malloc_stats_print() output, which reports the
- proportion of available regions that are currently in use for each small
- size class.
- - Add "alloc" and "free" modes for for junk filling (see the "opt.junk"
- mallctl), so that it is possible to separately enable junk filling for
- allocation versus deallocation.
- - Add the jemalloc-config script, which provides information about how
- jemalloc was configured, and how to integrate it into application builds.
- - Add metadata statistics, which are accessible via the "stats.metadata",
- "stats.arenas.<i>.metadata.mapped", and
- "stats.arenas.<i>.metadata.allocated" mallctls.
- - Add the "stats.resident" mallctl, which reports the upper limit of
- physically resident memory mapped by the allocator.
- - Add per arena control over unused dirty page purging, via the
- "arenas.lg_dirty_mult", "arena.<i>.lg_dirty_mult", and
- "stats.arenas.<i>.lg_dirty_mult" mallctls.
- - Add the "prof.gdump" mallctl, which makes it possible to toggle the gdump
- feature on/off during program execution.
- - Add sdallocx(), which implements sized deallocation. The primary
- optimization over dallocx() is the removal of a metadata read, which often
- suffers an L1 cache miss.
- - Add missing header includes in jemalloc/jemalloc.h, so that applications
- only have to #include <jemalloc/jemalloc.h>.
- - Add support for additional platforms:
- + Bitrig
- + Cygwin
- + DragonFlyBSD
- + iOS
- + OpenBSD
- + OpenRISC/or1k
-
- Optimizations:
- - Maintain dirty runs in per arena LRUs rather than in per arena trees of
- dirty-run-containing chunks. In practice this change significantly reduces
- dirty page purging volume.
- - Integrate whole chunks into the unused dirty page purging machinery. This
- reduces the cost of repeated huge allocation/deallocation, because it
- effectively introduces a cache of chunks.
- - Split the arena chunk map into two separate arrays, in order to increase
- cache locality for the frequently accessed bits.
- - Move small run metadata out of runs, into arena chunk headers. This reduces
- run fragmentation, smaller runs reduce external fragmentation for small size
- classes, and packed (less uniformly aligned) metadata layout improves CPU
- cache set distribution.
- - Randomly distribute large allocation base pointer alignment relative to page
- boundaries in order to more uniformly utilize CPU cache sets. This can be
- disabled via the --disable-cache-oblivious configure option, and queried via
- the "config.cache_oblivious" mallctl.
- - Micro-optimize the fast paths for the public API functions.
- - Refactor thread-specific data to reside in a single structure. This assures
- that only a single TLS read is necessary per call into the public API.
- - Implement in-place huge allocation growing and shrinking.
- - Refactor rtree (radix tree for chunk lookups) to be lock-free, and make
- additional optimizations that reduce maximum lookup depth to one or two
- levels. This resolves what was a concurrency bottleneck for per arena huge
- allocation, because a global data structure is critical for determining
- which arenas own which huge allocations.
-
- Incompatible changes:
- - Replace --enable-cc-silence with --disable-cc-silence to suppress spurious
- warnings by default.
- - Assure that the constness of malloc_usable_size()'s return type matches that
- of the system implementation.
- - Change the heap profile dump format to support per thread heap profiling,
- rename pprof to jeprof, and enhance it with the --thread=<n> option. As a
- result, the bundled jeprof must now be used rather than the upstream
- (gperftools) pprof.
- - Disable "opt.prof_final" by default, in order to avoid atexit(3), which can
- internally deadlock on some platforms.
- - Change the "arenas.nlruns" mallctl type from size_t to unsigned.
- - Replace the "stats.arenas.<i>.bins.<j>.allocated" mallctl with
- "stats.arenas.<i>.bins.<j>.curregs".
- - Ignore MALLOC_CONF in set{uid,gid,cap} binaries.
- - Ignore MALLOCX_ARENA(a) in dallocx(), in favor of using the
- MALLOCX_TCACHE(tc) and MALLOCX_TCACHE_NONE flags to control tcache usage.
-
- Removed features:
- - Remove the *allocm() API, which is superseded by the *allocx() API.
- - Remove the --enable-dss options, and make dss non-optional on all platforms
- which support sbrk(2).
- - Remove the "arenas.purge" mallctl, which was obsoleted by the
- "arena.<i>.purge" mallctl in 3.1.0.
- - Remove the unnecessary "opt.valgrind" mallctl; jemalloc automatically
- detects whether it is running inside Valgrind.
- - Remove the "stats.huge.allocated", "stats.huge.nmalloc", and
- "stats.huge.ndalloc" mallctls.
- - Remove the --enable-mremap option.
- - Remove the "stats.chunks.current", "stats.chunks.total", and
- "stats.chunks.high" mallctls.
-
- Bug fixes:
- - Fix the cactive statistic to decrease (rather than increase) when active
- memory decreases. This regression was first released in 3.5.0.
- - Fix OOM handling in memalign() and valloc(). A variant of this bug existed
- in all releases since 2.0.0, which introduced these functions.
- - Fix an OOM-related regression in arena_tcache_fill_small(), which could
- cause cache corruption on OOM. This regression was present in all releases
- from 2.2.0 through 3.6.0.
- - Fix size class overflow handling for malloc(), posix_memalign(), memalign(),
- calloc(), and realloc() when profiling is enabled.
- - Fix the "arena.<i>.dss" mallctl to return an error if "primary" or
- "secondary" precedence is specified, but sbrk(2) is not supported.
- - Fix fallback lg_floor() implementations to handle extremely large inputs.
- - Ensure the default purgeable zone is after the default zone on OS X.
- - Fix latent bugs in atomic_*().
- - Fix the "arena.<i>.dss" mallctl to handle read-only calls.
- - Fix tls_model configuration to enable the initial-exec model when possible.
- - Mark malloc_conf as a weak symbol so that the application can override it.
- - Correctly detect glibc's adaptive pthread mutexes.
- - Fix the --without-export configure option.
-
-* 3.6.0 (March 31, 2014)
-
- This version contains a critical bug fix for a regression present in 3.5.0 and
- 3.5.1.
-
- Bug fixes:
- - Fix a regression in arena_chunk_alloc() that caused crashes during
- small/large allocation if chunk allocation failed. In the absence of this
- bug, chunk allocation failure would result in allocation failure, e.g. NULL
- return from malloc(). This regression was introduced in 3.5.0.
- - Fix backtracing for gcc intrinsics-based backtracing by specifying
- -fno-omit-frame-pointer to gcc. Note that the application (and all the
- libraries it links to) must also be compiled with this option for
- backtracing to be reliable.
- - Use dss allocation precedence for huge allocations as well as small/large
- allocations.
- - Fix test assertion failure message formatting. This bug did not manifest on
- x86_64 systems because of implementation subtleties in va_list.
- - Fix inconsequential test failures for hash and SFMT code.
-
- New features:
- - Support heap profiling on FreeBSD. This feature depends on the proc
- filesystem being mounted during heap profile dumping.
-
-* 3.5.1 (February 25, 2014)
-
- This version primarily addresses minor bugs in test code.
-
- Bug fixes:
- - Configure Solaris/Illumos to use MADV_FREE.
- - Fix junk filling for mremap(2)-based huge reallocation. This is only
- relevant if configuring with the --enable-mremap option specified.
- - Avoid compilation failure if 'restrict' C99 keyword is not supported by the
- compiler.
- - Add a configure test for SSE2 rather than assuming it is usable on i686
- systems. This fixes test compilation errors, especially on 32-bit Linux
- systems.
- - Fix mallctl argument size mismatches (size_t vs. uint64_t) in the stats unit
- test.
- - Fix/remove flawed alignment-related overflow tests.
- - Prevent compiler optimizations that could change backtraces in the
- prof_accum unit test.
-
-* 3.5.0 (January 22, 2014)
-
- This version focuses on refactoring and automated testing, though it also
- includes some non-trivial heap profiling optimizations not mentioned below.
-
- New features:
- - Add the *allocx() API, which is a successor to the experimental *allocm()
- API. The *allocx() functions are slightly simpler to use because they have
- fewer parameters, they directly return the results of primary interest, and
- mallocx()/rallocx() avoid the strict aliasing pitfall that
- allocm()/rallocm() share with posix_memalign(). Note that *allocm() is
- slated for removal in the next non-bugfix release.
- - Add support for LinuxThreads.
-
- Bug fixes:
- - Unless heap profiling is enabled, disable floating point code and don't link
- with libm. This, in combination with e.g. EXTRA_CFLAGS=-mno-sse on x64
- systems, makes it possible to completely disable floating point register
- use. Some versions of glibc neglect to save/restore caller-saved floating
- point registers during dynamic lazy symbol loading, and the symbol loading
- code uses whatever malloc the application happens to have linked/loaded
- with, the result being potential floating point register corruption.
- - Report ENOMEM rather than EINVAL if an OOM occurs during heap profiling
- backtrace creation in imemalign(). This bug impacted posix_memalign() and
- aligned_alloc().
- - Fix a file descriptor leak in a prof_dump_maps() error path.
- - Fix prof_dump() to close the dump file descriptor for all relevant error
- paths.
- - Fix rallocm() to use the arena specified by the ALLOCM_ARENA(s) flag for
- allocation, not just deallocation.
- - Fix a data race for large allocation stats counters.
- - Fix a potential infinite loop during thread exit. This bug occurred on
- Solaris, and could affect other platforms with similar pthreads TSD
- implementations.
- - Don't junk-fill reallocations unless usable size changes. This fixes a
- violation of the *allocx()/*allocm() semantics.
- - Fix growing large reallocation to junk fill new space.
- - Fix huge deallocation to junk fill when munmap is disabled.
- - Change the default private namespace prefix from empty to je_, and change
- --with-private-namespace-prefix so that it prepends an additional prefix
- rather than replacing je_. This reduces the likelihood of applications
- which statically link jemalloc experiencing symbol name collisions.
- - Add missing private namespace mangling (relevant when
- --with-private-namespace is specified).
- - Add and use JEMALLOC_INLINE_C so that static inline functions are marked as
- static even for debug builds.
- - Add a missing mutex unlock in a malloc_init_hard() error path. In practice
- this error path is never executed.
- - Fix numerous bugs in malloc_strotumax() error handling/reporting. These
- bugs had no impact except for malformed inputs.
- - Fix numerous bugs in malloc_snprintf(). These bugs were not exercised by
- existing calls, so they had no impact.
-
-* 3.4.1 (October 20, 2013)
-
- Bug fixes:
- - Fix a race in the "arenas.extend" mallctl that could cause memory corruption
- of internal data structures and subsequent crashes.
- - Fix Valgrind integration flaws that caused Valgrind warnings about reads of
- uninitialized memory in:
- + arena chunk headers
- + internal zero-initialized data structures (relevant to tcache and prof
- code)
- - Preserve errno during the first allocation. A readlink(2) call during
- initialization fails unless /etc/malloc.conf exists, so errno was typically
- set during the first allocation prior to this fix.
- - Fix compilation warnings reported by gcc 4.8.1.
-
-* 3.4.0 (June 2, 2013)
-
- This version is essentially a small bugfix release, but the addition of
- aarch64 support requires that the minor version be incremented.
-
- Bug fixes:
- - Fix race-triggered deadlocks in chunk_record(). These deadlocks were
- typically triggered by multiple threads concurrently deallocating huge
- objects.
-
- New features:
- - Add support for the aarch64 architecture.
-
-* 3.3.1 (March 6, 2013)
-
- This version fixes bugs that are typically encountered only when utilizing
- custom run-time options.
-
- Bug fixes:
- - Fix a locking order bug that could cause deadlock during fork if heap
- profiling were enabled.
- - Fix a chunk recycling bug that could cause the allocator to lose track of
- whether a chunk was zeroed. On FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OS X, it could cause
- corruption if allocating via sbrk(2) (unlikely unless running with the
- "dss:primary" option specified). This was completely harmless on Linux
- unless using mlockall(2) (and unlikely even then, unless the
- --disable-munmap configure option or the "dss:primary" option was
- specified). This regression was introduced in 3.1.0 by the
- mlockall(2)/madvise(2) interaction fix.
- - Fix TLS-related memory corruption that could occur during thread exit if the
- thread never allocated memory. Only the quarantine and prof facilities were
- susceptible.
- - Fix two quarantine bugs:
- + Internal reallocation of the quarantined object array leaked the old
- array.
- + Reallocation failure for internal reallocation of the quarantined object
- array (very unlikely) resulted in memory corruption.
- - Fix Valgrind integration to annotate all internally allocated memory in a
- way that keeps Valgrind happy about internal data structure access.
- - Fix building for s390 systems.
-
-* 3.3.0 (January 23, 2013)

- - Add the --disable-zone-allocator option.
-
- Bug fixes:
- - Fix "arenas.extend" mallctl to output the number of arenas.
- - Fix chunk_recycle() to unconditionally inform Valgrind that returned memory
- is undefined.
- - Fix build break on FreeBSD related to alloca.h.
-
-* 3.2.0 (November 9, 2012)
-
- In addition to a couple of bug fixes, this version modifies page run
- allocation and dirty page purging algorithms in order to better control
- page-level virtual memory fragmentation.
-
- Incompatible changes:
- - Change the "opt.lg_dirty_mult" default from 5 to 3 (32:1 to 8:1).
-
- Bug fixes:
- - Fix dss/mmap allocation precedence code to use recyclable mmap memory only
- after primary dss allocation fails.
- - Fix deadlock in the "arenas.purge" mallctl. This regression was introduced
- in 3.1.0 by the addition of the "arena.<i>.purge" mallctl.
-
-* 3.1.0 (October 16, 2012)
-
- New features:
- - Auto-detect whether running inside Valgrind, thus removing the need to
- manually specify MALLOC_CONF=valgrind:true.
- - Add the "arenas.extend" mallctl, which allows applications to create
- manually managed arenas.
- - Add the ALLOCM_ARENA() flag for {,r,d}allocm().
- - Add the "opt.dss", "arena.<i>.dss", and "stats.arenas.<i>.dss" mallctls,
- which provide control over dss/mmap precedence.
- - Add the "arena.<i>.purge" mallctl, which obsoletes "arenas.purge".
- - Define LG_QUANTUM for hppa.
-
- Incompatible changes:
- - Disable tcache by default if running inside Valgrind, in order to avoid
- making unallocated objects appear reachable to Valgrind.
- - Drop const from malloc_usable_size() argument on Linux.
-
- Bug fixes:
- - Fix heap profiling crash if sampled object is freed via realloc(p, 0).
- - Remove const from __*_hook variable declarations, so that glibc can modify
- them during process forking.
- - Fix mlockall(2)/madvise(2) interaction.
- - Fix fork(2)-related deadlocks.
- - Fix error return value for "thread.tcache.enabled" mallctl.
-
-* 3.0.0 (May 11, 2012)
-
- Although this version adds some major new features, the primary focus is on
- internal code cleanup that facilitates maintainability and portability, most
- of which is not reflected in the ChangeLog. This is the first release to
- incorporate substantial contributions from numerous other developers, and the
- result is a more broadly useful allocator (see the git revision history for

- Facebook granting a license under the same terms as the other copyright
- holders (see COPYING).
-
- New features:

-
- Incompatible changes:
- - Enable stats by default.
- - Enable fill by default.
- - Disable lazy locking by default.
- - Rename the "tcache.flush" mallctl to "thread.tcache.flush".
- - Rename the "arenas.pagesize" mallctl to "arenas.page".
- - Change the "opt.lg_prof_sample" default from 0 to 19 (1 B to 512 KiB).
- - Change the "opt.prof_accum" default from true to false.
-
- Removed features:
- - Remove the swap feature, including the "config.swap", "swap.avail",
- "swap.prezeroed", "swap.nfds", and "swap.fds" mallctls.
- - Remove highruns statistics, including the
- "stats.arenas.<i>.bins.<j>.highruns" and
- "stats.arenas.<i>.lruns.<j>.highruns" mallctls.
- - As part of small size class refactoring, remove the "opt.lg_[qc]space_max",

- write-after-free memory corruption.
- - Fix a potential deadlock that could occur during interval- and
- growth-triggered heap profile dumps.
- - Fix large calloc() zeroing bugs due to dropping chunk map unzeroed flags.
- - Fix chunk_alloc_dss() to stop claiming memory is zeroed. This bug could

- - Fix fork-related bugs that could cause deadlock in children between fork
- and exec.
- - Fix malloc_stats_print() to honor 'b' and 'l' in the opts parameter.
- - Fix realloc(p, 0) to act like free(p).

- - Fix malloc_stats_print(..., "a") output.
-
-* 2.2.4 (November 5, 2011)

- well as for --disable-tls builds in earlier releases.
- - Do not assume a 4 KiB page size in test/rallocm.c.
-
-* 2.2.3 (August 31, 2011)
-
- This version fixes numerous bugs related to heap profiling.
-
- Bug fixes:
- - Fix a prof-related race condition. This bug could cause memory corruption,
- but only occurred in non-default configurations (prof_accum:false).
- - Fix off-by-one backtracing issues (make sure that prof_alloc_prep() is
- excluded from backtraces).
- - Fix a prof-related bug in realloc() (only triggered by OOM errors).
- - Fix prof-related bugs in allocm() and rallocm().
- - Fix prof_tdata_cleanup() for --disable-tls builds.

- conflicts that can inadvertently arise when using static libraries.
-
-* 2.2.1 (March 30, 2011)
-
- Bug fixes:
- - Implement atomic operations for x86/x64. This fixes compilation failures
- for versions of gcc that are still in wide use.
- - Fix an assertion in arena_purge().
-
-* 2.2.0 (March 22, 2011)
-
- This version incorporates several improvements to algorithms and data
- structures that tend to reduce fragmentation and increase speed.
-
- New features:

- - Update pprof (from google-perftools 1.7).
- - Improve backtracing-related configuration logic, and add the
- --disable-prof-libgcc option.
-
- Bug fixes:

- decreases the overhead of library-internal function calls.
- - Fix symbol visibility so that it is also set on OS X.
- - Fix a build dependency regression caused by the introduction of the .pic.o
- suffix for PIC object files.
- - Add missing checks for mutex initialization failures.
- - Don't use libgcc-based backtracing except on x64, where it is known to work.
- - Fix deadlocks on OS X that were due to memory allocation in
- pthread_mutex_lock().
- - Heap profiling-specific fixes:
- + Fix memory corruption due to integer overflow in small region index
- computation, when using a small enough sample interval that profiling
- context pointers are stored in small run headers.
- + Fix a bootstrap ordering bug that only occurred with TLS disabled.
- + Fix a rallocm() rsize bug.
- + Fix error detection bugs for aligned memory allocation.
-
-* 2.1.3 (March 14, 2011)

- - Use Linux's mremap(2) for huge object reallocation when possible.
- - Avoid locking in mallctl*() when possible.
- - Add the "thread.[de]allocatedp" mallctl's.
- - Convert the manual page source from roff to DocBook, and generate both roff
- and HTML manuals.
-
- Bug fixes:
- - Fix a crash due to incorrect bootstrap ordering. This only impacted
- --enable-debug --enable-dss configurations.
- - Fix a minor statistics bug for mallctl("swap.avail", ...).
-
-* 2.0.1 (October 29, 2010)
-
- Bug fixes:
- - Fix a race condition in heap profiling that could cause undefined behavior
- if "opt.prof_accum" were disabled.
- - Add missing mutex unlocks for some OOM error paths in the heap profiling
- code.
- - Fix a compilation error for non-C99 builds.
-
-* 2.0.0 (October 24, 2010)
-
- This version focuses on the experimental *allocm() API, and on improved
- run-time configuration/introspection. Nonetheless, numerous performance
- improvements are also included.
-
- New features:
- - Implement the experimental {,r,s,d}allocm() API, which provides a superset
- of the functionality available via malloc(), calloc(), posix_memalign(),
- realloc(), malloc_usable_size(), and free(). These functions can be used to
- allocate/reallocate aligned zeroed memory, ask for optional extra memory
- during reallocation, prevent object movement during reallocation, etc.
- - Replace JEMALLOC_OPTIONS/JEMALLOC_PROF_PREFIX with MALLOC_CONF, which is
- more human-readable, and more flexible. For example:
- JEMALLOC_OPTIONS=AJP
- is now:
- MALLOC_CONF=abort:true,fill:true,stats_print:true
- - Port to Apple OS X. Sponsored by Mozilla.
- - Make it possible for the application to control thread-->arena mappings via
- the "thread.arena" mallctl.
- - Add compile-time support for all TLS-related functionality via pthreads TSD.
- This is mainly of interest for OS X, which does not support TLS, but has a
- TSD implementation with similar performance.
- - Override memalign() and valloc() if they are provided by the system.
- - Add the "arenas.purge" mallctl, which can be used to synchronously purge all
- dirty unused pages.
- - Make cumulative heap profiling data optional, so that it is possible to
- limit the amount of memory consumed by heap profiling data structures.
- - Add per thread allocation counters that can be accessed via the
- "thread.allocated" and "thread.deallocated" mallctls.
-
- Incompatible changes:
- - Remove JEMALLOC_OPTIONS and malloc_options (see MALLOC_CONF above).
- - Increase default backtrace depth from 4 to 128 for heap profiling.
- - Disable interval-based profile dumps by default.
-
- Bug fixes:
- - Remove bad assertions in fork handler functions. These assertions could
- cause aborts for some combinations of configure settings.
- - Fix strerror_r() usage to deal with non-standard semantics in GNU libc.
- - Fix leak context reporting. This bug tended to cause the number of contexts
- to be underreported (though the reported number of objects and bytes were
- correct).
- - Fix a realloc() bug for large in-place growing reallocation. This bug could
- cause memory corruption, but it was hard to trigger.
- - Fix an allocation bug for small allocations that could be triggered if
- multiple threads raced to create a new run of backing pages.
- - Enhance the heap profiler to trigger samples based on usable size, rather
- than request size.
- - Fix a heap profiling bug due to sometimes losing track of requested object
- size for sampled objects.
-
-* 1.0.3 (August 12, 2010)
-
- Bug fixes:
- - Fix the libunwind-based implementation of stack backtracing (used for heap
- profiling). This bug could cause zero-length backtraces to be reported.
- - Add a missing mutex unlock in library initialization code. If multiple
- threads raced to initialize malloc, some of them could end up permanently
- blocked.
-
-* 1.0.2 (May 11, 2010)
-
- Bug fixes:
- - Fix junk filling of large objects, which could cause memory corruption.
- - Add MAP_NORESERVE support for chunk mapping, because otherwise virtual
- memory limits could cause swap file configuration to fail. Contributed by
- Jordan DeLong.
-
-* 1.0.1 (April 14, 2010)
-
- Bug fixes:
- - Fix compilation when --enable-fill is specified.
- - Fix threads-related profiling bugs that affected accuracy and caused memory
- to be leaked during thread exit.
- - Fix dirty page purging race conditions that could cause crashes.
- - Fix crash in tcache flushing code during thread destruction.
-
-* 1.0.0 (April 11, 2010)
-
- This release focuses on speed and run-time introspection. Numerous
- algorithmic improvements make this release substantially faster than its
- predecessors.
-
- New features:
- - Implement autoconf-based configuration system.
- - Add mallctl*(), for the purposes of introspection and run-time
- configuration.
- - Make it possible for the application to manually flush a thread's cache, via
- the "tcache.flush" mallctl.
- - Base maximum dirty page count on proportion of active memory.
- - Compute various additional run-time statistics, including per size class
- statistics for large objects.
- - Expose malloc_stats_print(), which can be called repeatedly by the
- application.
- - Simplify the malloc_message() signature to only take one string argument,
- and incorporate an opaque data pointer argument for use by the application
- in combination with malloc_stats_print().
- - Add support for allocation backed by one or more swap files, and allow the
- application to disable over-commit if swap files are in use.
- - Implement allocation profiling and leak checking.
-
- Removed features:
- - Remove the dynamic arena rebalancing code, since thread-specific caching
- reduces its utility.
-
- Bug fixes:
- - Modify chunk allocation to work when address space layout randomization
- (ASLR) is in use.
- - Fix thread cleanup bugs related to TLS destruction.
- - Handle 0-size allocation requests in posix_memalign().
- - Fix a chunk leak. The leaked chunks were never touched, so this impacted
- virtual memory usage, but not physical memory usage.
-
-* linux_2008082[78]a (August 27/28, 2008)
-
- These snapshot releases are the simple result of incorporating Linux-specific
- support into the FreeBSD malloc sources.
