Much more detail can be found in the git revision history: https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc -* 5.1.0 (May 4th, 2018) +* 5.2.1 (August 5, 2019) + + This release is primarily about Windows. A critical virtual memory leak is + resolved on all Windows platforms. The regression was present in all releases + since 5.0.0. + + Bug fixes: + - Fix a severe virtual memory leak on Windows. This regression was first + released in 5.0.0. (@Ignition, @j0t, @frederik-h, @davidtgoldblatt, + @interwq) + - Fix size 0 handling in posix_memalign(). This regression was first released + in 5.2.0. (@interwq) + - Fix the prof_log unit test which may observe unexpected backtraces from + compiler optimizations. The test was first added in 5.2.0. (@marxin, + @gnzlbg, @interwq) + - Fix the declaration of the extent_avail tree. This regression was first + released in 5.1.0. (@zoulasc) + - Fix an incorrect reference in jeprof. This functionality was first released + in 3.0.0. (@prehistoric-penguin) + - Fix an assertion on the deallocation fast-path. This regression was first + released in 5.2.0. (@yinan1048576) + - Fix the TLS_MODEL attribute in headers. This regression was first released + in 5.0.0. (@zoulasc, @interwq) + + Optimizations and refactors: + - Implement opt.retain on Windows and enable by default on 64-bit. (@interwq, + @davidtgoldblatt) + - Optimize away a branch on the operator delete[] path. (@mgrice) + - Add format annotation to the format generator function. (@zoulasc) + - Refactor and improve the size class header generation. (@yinan1048576) + - Remove best fit. (@djwatson) + - Avoid blocking on background thread locks for stats. (@oranagra, @interwq) + +* 5.2.0 (April 2, 2019) + + This release includes a few notable improvements, which are summarized below: + 1) improved fast-path performance from the optimizations by @djwatson; 2) + reduced virtual memory fragmentation and metadata usage; and 3) bug fixes on + setting the number of background threads. In addition, peak / spike memory + usage is improved with certain allocation patterns. As usual, the release and + prior dev versions have gone through large-scale production testing. + + New features: + - Implement oversize_threshold, which uses a dedicated arena for allocations + crossing the specified threshold to reduce fragmentation. (@interwq) + - Add extents usage information to stats. (@tyleretzel) + - Log time information for sampled allocations. (@tyleretzel) + - Support 0 size in sdallocx. (@djwatson) + - Output rate for certain counters in malloc_stats. (@zinoale) + - Add configure option --enable-readlinkat, which allows the use of readlinkat + over readlink. (@davidtgoldblatt) + - Add configure options --{enable,disable}-{static,shared} to allow not + building unwanted libraries. (@Ericson2314) + - Add configure option --disable-libdl to enable fully static builds. + (@interwq) + - Add mallctl interfaces: + + opt.oversize_threshold (@interwq) + + stats.arenas.<i>.extent_avail (@tyleretzel) + + stats.arenas.<i>.extents.<j>.n{dirty,muzzy,retained} (@tyleretzel) + + stats.arenas.<i>.extents.<j>.{dirty,muzzy,retained}_bytes + (@tyleretzel) + + Portability improvements: + - Update MSVC builds. (@maksqwe, @rustyx) + - Workaround a compiler optimizer bug on s390x. (@rkmisra) + - Make use of pthread_set_name_np(3) on FreeBSD. (@trasz) + - Implement malloc_getcpu() to enable percpu_arena for windows. (@santagada) + - Link against -pthread instead of -lpthread. (@paravoid) + - Make background_thread not dependent on libdl. (@interwq) + - Add stringify to fix a linker directive issue on MSVC. (@daverigby) + - Detect and fall back when 8-bit atomics are unavailable. (@interwq) + - Fall back to the default pthread_create if dlsym(3) fails. (@interwq) + + Optimizations and refactors: + - Refactor the TSD module. (@davidtgoldblatt) + - Avoid taking extents_muzzy mutex when muzzy is disabled. (@interwq) + - Avoid taking large_mtx for auto arenas on the tcache flush path. (@interwq) + - Optimize ixalloc by avoiding a size lookup. (@interwq) + - Implement opt.oversize_threshold which uses a dedicated arena for requests + crossing the threshold, also eagerly purges the oversize extents. Default + the threshold to 8 MiB. (@interwq) + - Clean compilation with -Wextra. (@gnzlbg, @jasone) + - Refactor the size class module. (@davidtgoldblatt) + - Refactor the stats emitter. (@tyleretzel) + - Optimize pow2_ceil. (@rkmisra) + - Avoid runtime detection of lazy purging on FreeBSD. (@trasz) + - Optimize mmap(2) alignment handling on FreeBSD. (@trasz) + - Improve error handling for THP state initialization. (@jsteemann) + - Rework the malloc() fast path. (@djwatson) + - Rework the free() fast path. (@djwatson) + - Refactor and optimize the tcache fill / flush paths. (@djwatson) + - Optimize sync / lwsync on PowerPC. (@chmeeedalf) + - Bypass extent_dalloc() when retain is enabled. (@interwq) + - Optimize the locking on large deallocation. (@interwq) + - Reduce the number of pages committed from sanity checking in debug build. + (@trasz, @interwq) + - Deprecate OSSpinLock. (@interwq) + - Lower the default number of background threads to 4 (when the feature + is enabled). (@interwq) + - Optimize the trylock spin wait. (@djwatson) + - Use arena index for arena-matching checks. (@interwq) + - Avoid forced decay on thread termination when using background threads. + (@interwq) + - Disable muzzy decay by default. (@djwatson, @interwq) + - Only initialize libgcc unwinder when profiling is enabled. (@paravoid, + @interwq) + + Bug fixes (all only relevant to jemalloc 5.x): + - Fix background thread index issues with max_background_threads. (@djwatson, + @interwq) + - Fix stats output for opt.lg_extent_max_active_fit. (@interwq) + - Fix opt.prof_prefix initialization. (@davidtgoldblatt) + - Properly trigger decay on tcache destroy. (@interwq, @amosbird) + - Fix tcache.flush. (@interwq) + - Detect whether explicit extent zero out is necessary with huge pages or + custom extent hooks, which may change the purge semantics. (@interwq) + - Fix a side effect caused by extent_max_active_fit combined with decay-based + purging, where freed extents can accumulate and not be reused for an + extended period of time. (@interwq, @mpghf) + - Fix a missing unlock on extent register error handling. (@zoulasc) + + Testing: + - Simplify the Travis script output. (@gnzlbg) + - Update the test scripts for FreeBSD. (@devnexen) + - Add unit tests for the producer-consumer pattern. (@interwq) + - Add Cirrus-CI config for FreeBSD builds. (@jasone) + - Add size-matching sanity checks on tcache flush. (@davidtgoldblatt, + @interwq) + + Incompatible changes: + - Remove --with-lg-page-sizes. (@davidtgoldblatt) + + Documentation: + - Attempt to build docs by default, however skip doc building when xsltproc + is missing. (@interwq, @cmuellner) + +* 5.1.0 (May 4, 2018) This release is primarily about fine-tuning, ranging from several new features to numerous notable performance and portability enhancements.
