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.

(@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).

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. - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -vim:filetype=text:textwidth=80 |
