Much more detail can be found in the git revision history: https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc +* 4.4.0 (December 3, 2016) + + New features: + - Add configure support for *-*-linux-android. (@cferris1000, @jasone) + - Add the --disable-syscall configure option, for use on systems that place + security-motivated limitations on syscall(2). (@jasone) + - Add support for Debian GNU/kFreeBSD. (@thesam) + + Optimizations: + - Add extent serial numbers and use them where appropriate as a sort key that + is higher priority than address, so that the allocation policy prefers older + extents. This tends to improve locality (decrease fragmentation) when + memory grows downward. (@jasone) + - Refactor madvise(2) configuration so that MADV_FREE is detected and utilized + on Linux 4.5 and newer. (@jasone) + - Mark partially purged arena chunks as non-huge-page. This improves + interaction with Linux's transparent huge page functionality. (@jasone) + + Bug fixes: + - Fix size class computations for edge conditions involving extremely large + allocations. This regression was first released in 4.0.0. (@jasone, + @ingvarha) + - Remove overly restrictive assertions related to the cactive statistic. This + regression was first released in 4.1.0. (@jasone) + - Implement a more reliable detection scheme for os_unfair_lock on macOS. + (@jszakmeister) + +* 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) + - Fix a Valgrind integration bug. (@ronawho) + - Disallow 0x5a junk filling when running in Valgrind. (@jasone) + - Fix a file descriptor leak on Linux. This regression was first released in + 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) + - Fix gettimeofday() version of nstime_update(). (@ronawho) + - Fix Valgrind regressions in calloc() and chunk_alloc_wrapper(). (@ronawho) + - Fix potential VM map fragmentation regression. (@jasone) + - Fix opt_zero-triggered in-place huge reallocation zeroing. (@jasone) + - Fix heap profiling context leaks in reallocation edge cases. (@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 stats.retained and stats.arenas.<i>.retained statistics. (@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. |
