Much more detail can be found in the git revision history: https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc +* 5.1.0 (May 4th, 2018) + + This release is primarily about fine-tuning, ranging from several new features + to numerous notable performance and portability enhancements. The release and + prior dev versions have been running in multiple large scale applications for + months, and the cumulative improvements are substantial in many cases. + + Given the long and successful production runs, this release is likely a good + candidate for applications to upgrade, from both jemalloc 5.0 and before. For + performance-critical applications, the newly added TUNING.md provides + guidelines on jemalloc tuning. + + New features: + - Implement transparent huge page support for internal metadata. (@interwq) + - Add opt.thp to allow enabling / disabling transparent huge pages for all + mappings. (@interwq) + - Add maximum background thread count option. (@djwatson) + - Allow prof_active to control opt.lg_prof_interval and prof.gdump. + (@interwq) + - Allow arena index lookup based on allocation addresses via mallctl. + (@lionkov) + - Allow disabling initial-exec TLS model. (@davidtgoldblatt, @KenMacD) + - Add opt.lg_extent_max_active_fit to set the max ratio between the size of + the active extent selected (to split off from) and the size of the requested + allocation. (@interwq, @davidtgoldblatt) + - Add retain_grow_limit to set the max size when growing virtual address + space. (@interwq) + - Add mallctl interfaces: + + arena.<i>.retain_grow_limit (@interwq) + + arenas.lookup (@lionkov) + + max_background_threads (@djwatson) + + opt.lg_extent_max_active_fit (@interwq) + + opt.max_background_threads (@djwatson) + + opt.metadata_thp (@interwq) + + opt.thp (@interwq) + + stats.metadata_thp (@interwq) + + Portability improvements: + - Support GNU/kFreeBSD configuration. (@paravoid) + - Support m68k, nios2 and SH3 architectures. (@paravoid) + - Fall back to FD_CLOEXEC when O_CLOEXEC is unavailable. (@zonyitoo) + - Fix symbol listing for cross-compiling. (@tamird) + - Fix high bits computation on ARM. (@davidtgoldblatt, @paravoid) + - Disable the CPU_SPINWAIT macro for Power. (@davidtgoldblatt, @marxin) + - Fix MSVC 2015 & 2017 builds. (@rustyx) + - Improve RISC-V support. (@EdSchouten) + - Set name mangling script in strict mode. (@nicolov) + - Avoid MADV_HUGEPAGE on ARM. (@marxin) + - Modify configure to determine return value of strerror_r. + (@davidtgoldblatt, @cferris1000) + - Make sure CXXFLAGS is tested with CPP compiler. (@nehaljwani) + - Fix 32-bit build on MSVC. (@rustyx) + - Fix external symbol on MSVC. (@maksqwe) + - Avoid a printf format specifier warning. (@jasone) + - Add configure option --disable-initial-exec-tls which can allow jemalloc to + be dynamically loaded after program startup. (@davidtgoldblatt, @KenMacD) + - AArch64: Add ILP32 support. (@cmuellner) + - Add --with-lg-vaddr configure option to support cross compiling. + (@cmuellner, @davidtgoldblatt) + + Optimizations and refactors: + - Improve active extent fit with extent_max_active_fit. This considerably + reduces fragmentation over time and improves virtual memory and metadata + usage. (@davidtgoldblatt, @interwq) + - Eagerly coalesce large extents to reduce fragmentation. (@interwq) + - sdallocx: only read size info when page aligned (i.e. possibly sampled), + which speeds up the sized deallocation path significantly. (@interwq) + - Avoid attempting new mappings for in place expansion with retain, since + it rarely succeeds in practice and causes high overhead. (@interwq) + - Refactor OOM handling in newImpl. (@wqfish) + - Add internal fine-grained logging functionality for debugging use. + (@davidtgoldblatt) + - Refactor arena / tcache interactions. (@davidtgoldblatt) + - Refactor extent management with dumpable flag. (@davidtgoldblatt) + - Add runtime detection of lazy purging. (@interwq) + - Use pairing heap instead of red-black tree for extents_avail. (@djwatson) + - Use sysctl on startup in FreeBSD. (@trasz) + - Use thread local prng state instead of atomic. (@djwatson) + - Make decay to always purge one more extent than before, because in + practice large extents are usually the ones that cross the decay threshold. + Purging the additional extent helps save memory as well as reduce VM + fragmentation. (@interwq) + - Fast division by dynamic values. (@davidtgoldblatt) + - Improve the fit for aligned allocation. (@interwq, @edwinsmith) + - Refactor extent_t bitpacking. (@rkmisra) + - Optimize the generated assembly for ticker operations. (@davidtgoldblatt) + - Convert stats printing to use a structured text emitter. (@davidtgoldblatt) + - Remove preserve_lru feature for extents management. (@djwatson) + - Consolidate two memory loads into one on the fast deallocation path. + (@davidtgoldblatt, @interwq) + + Bug fixes (most of the issues are only relevant to jemalloc 5.0): + - Fix deadlock with multithreaded fork in OS X. (@davidtgoldblatt) + - Validate returned file descriptor before use. (@zonyitoo) + - Fix a few background thread initialization and shutdown issues. (@interwq) + - Fix an extent coalesce + decay race by taking both coalescing extents off + the LRU list. (@interwq) + - Fix potentially unbound increase during decay, caused by one thread keep + stashing memory to purge while other threads generating new pages. The + number of pages to purge is checked to prevent this. (@interwq) + - Fix a FreeBSD bootstrap assertion. (@strejda, @interwq) + - Handle 32 bit mutex counters. (@rkmisra) + - Fix a indexing bug when creating background threads. (@davidtgoldblatt, + @binliu19) + - Fix arguments passed to extent_init.
