-* 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.
