      Fix chunk_recycle() Valgrind integration. · 1271185b
      Jason Evans authored
      Fix chunk_recycyle() to unconditionally inform Valgrind that returned
      memory is undefined.  This fixes Valgrind warnings that would result
      from a huge allocation being freed, then recycled for use as an arena
      chunk.  The arena code would write metadata to the chunk header, and
      Valgrind would consider these invalid writes.

      Allow to build without exporting symbols · 9906660e
      Mike Hommey authored
      When statically linking jemalloc, it may be beneficial not to export its
      symbols if it makes sense, which allows the compiler and the linker to do
      some further optimizations.

      Purge unused dirty pages in a fragmentation-reducing order. · e3d13060
      Jason Evans authored
      Purge unused dirty pages in an order that first performs clean/dirty run
      defragmentation, in order to mitigate available run fragmentation.
      
      Remove the limitation that prevented purging unless at least one chunk
      worth of dirty pages had accumulated in an arena.  This limitation was
      intended to avoid excessive purging for small applications, but the
      threshold was arbitrary, and the effect of questionable utility.
      
      Relax opt_lg_dirty_mult from 5 to 3.  This compensates for increased
      likelihood of allocating clean runs, given the same ratio of clean:dirty
      runs, and reduces the potential for repeated purging in pathological
      large malloc/free loops that push the active:dirty page ratio just over
      the purge threshold.

      Add arena-specific and selective dss allocation. · 609ae595
      Jason Evans authored
      Add the "arenas.extend" mallctl, so that it is possible to create new
      arenas that are outside the set that jemalloc automatically multiplexes
      threads onto.
      
      Add the ALLOCM_ARENA() flag for {,r,d}allocm(), so that it is possible
      to explicitly allocate from a particular arena.
      
      Add the "opt.dss" mallctl, which controls the default precedence of dss
      allocation relative to mmap allocation.
      
      Add the "arena.<i>.dss" mallctl, which makes it possible to set the
      default dss precedence on a per arena or global basis.
      
      Add the "arena.<i>.purge" mallctl, which obsoletes "arenas.purge".
      
      Add the "stats.arenas.<i>.dss" mallctl.

      mark _pthread_mutex_init_calloc_cb as public explicitly · d0ffd8ed
      Jan Beich authored
      Mozilla build hides everything by default using visibility pragma and
      unhides only explicitly listed headers. But this doesn't work on FreeBSD
      because _pthread_mutex_init_calloc_cb is neither documented nor exposed
      via any header.

      Fix fork(2)-related mutex acquisition order. · b5225928
      Jason Evans authored
      Fix mutex acquisition order inversion for the chunks rtree and the base
      mutex.  Chunks rtree acquisition was introduced by the previous commit,
      so this bug was short-lived.

      Fix fork(2)-related deadlocks. · 20f1fc95
      Jason Evans authored
      Add a library constructor for jemalloc that initializes the allocator.
      This fixes a race that could occur if threads were created by the main
      thread prior to any memory allocation, followed by fork(2), and then
      memory allocation in the child process.
      
      Fix the prefork/postfork functions to acquire/release the ctl, prof, and
      rtree mutexes.  This fixes various fork() child process deadlocks, but
      one possible deadlock remains (intentionally) unaddressed: prof
      backtracing can acquire runtime library mutexes, so deadlock is still
      possible if heap profiling is enabled during fork().  This deadlock is
      known to be a real issue in at least the case of libgcc-based
      backtracing.

      Fix large calloc() zeroing bugs. · d8ceef6c
      Jason Evans authored
      Refactor code such that arena_mapbits_{large,small}_set() always
      preserves the unzeroed flag, and manually manipulate the unzeroed flag
      in the one case where it actually gets reset (in arena_chunk_purge()).
      This fixes unzeroed preservation bugs in arena_run_split() and
      arena_ralloc_large_grow().  These bugs caused large calloc() to return
      non-zeroed memory under some circumstances.
