9+ This bugfix release fixes several issues, most of which are obscure enough
10+ that typical applications are not impacted.
11+
12+ Bug fixes:
13+ - Update decay->nunpurged before purging, in order to avoid potential update
14+ races and subsequent incorrect purging volume. (@interwq)
15+ - Only abort on dlsym(3) error if the failure impacts an enabled feature (lazy
16+ locking and/or background threads). This mitigates an initialization
17+ failure bug for which we still do not have a clear reproduction test case.
18+ (@interwq)
19+ - Modify tsd management so that it neither crashes nor leaks if a thread's
20+ only allocation activity is to call free() after TLS destructors have been
21+ executed. This behavior was observed when operating with GNU libc, and is
22+ unlikely to be an issue with other libc implementations. (@interwq)
23+ - Mask signals during background thread creation. This prevents signals from
24+ being inadvertently delivered to background threads. (@jasone,
25+ @davidgoldblatt, @interwq)
26+ - Avoid inactivity checks within background threads, in order to prevent
27+ recursive mutex acquisition. (@interwq)
28+ - Fix extent_grow_retained() to use the specified hooks when the
29+ arena.<i>.extent_hooks mallctl is used to override the default hooks.
30+ (@interwq)
31+ - Add missing reentrancy support for custom extent hooks which allocate.
32+ (@interwq)
33+ - Post-fork(2), re-initialize the list of tcaches associated with each arena
34+ to contain no tcaches except the forking thread's. (@interwq)
35+ - Add missing post-fork(2) mutex reinitialization for extent_grow_mtx. This
36+ fixes potential deadlocks after fork(2). (@interwq)
37+ - Enforce minimum autoconf version (currently 2.68), since 2.63 is known to
38+ generate corrupt configure scripts. (@jasone)
39+ - Ensure that the configured page size (--with-lg-page) is no larger than the
40+ configured huge page size (--with-lg-hugepage). (@jasone)
