+* 4.0.2 (September 21, 2015)
+
+ This bugfix release addresses a few bugs specific to heap profiling.
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Fix ixallocx_prof_sample() to never modify nor create sampled small
+ allocations. xallocx() is in general incapable of moving small allocations,
+ so this fix removes buggy code without loss of generality.
+ - Fix irallocx_prof_sample() to always allocate large regions, even when
+ alignment is non-zero.
+ - Fix prof_alloc_rollback() to read tdata from thread-specific data rather
+ than dereferencing a potentially invalid tctx.
+
+* 4.0.1 (September 15, 2015)
+
+ This is a bugfix release that is somewhat high risk due to the amount of
+ refactoring required to address deep xallocx() problems. As a side effect of
+ these fixes, xallocx() now tries harder to partially fulfill requests for
+ optional extra space. Note that a couple of minor heap profiling
+ optimizations are included, but these are better thought of as performance
+ fixes that were integral to disovering most of the other bugs.
+
+ Optimizations:
+ - Avoid a chunk metadata read in arena_prof_tctx_set(), since it is in the
+ fast path when heap profiling is enabled. Additionally, split a special
+ case out into arena_prof_tctx_reset(), which also avoids chunk metadata
+ reads.
+ - Optimize irallocx_prof() to optimistically update the sampler state. The
+ prior implementation appears to have been a holdover from when
+ rallocx()/xallocx() functionality was combined as rallocm().
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Fix TLS configuration such that it is enabled by default for platforms on
+ which it works correctly.
+ - Fix arenas_cache_cleanup() and arena_get_hard() to handle
+ allocation/deallocation within the application's thread-specific data
+ cleanup functions even after arenas_cache is torn down.
+ - Fix xallocx() bugs related to size+extra exceeding HUGE_MAXCLASS.
+ - Fix chunk purge hook calls for in-place huge shrinking reallocation to
+ specify the old chunk size rather than the new chunk size. This bug caused
+ no correctness issues for the default chunk purge function, but was
+ visible to custom functions set via the "arena.<i>.chunk_hooks" mallctl.
+ - Fix heap profiling bugs:
+ + Fix heap profiling to distinguish among otherwise identical sample sites
+ with interposed resets (triggered via the "prof.reset" mallctl). This bug
+ could cause data structure corruption that would most likely result in a
+ segfault.
+ + Fix irealloc_prof() to prof_alloc_rollback() on OOM.
+ + Make one call to prof_active_get_unlocked() per allocation event, and use
+ the result throughout the relevant functions that handle an allocation
+ event. Also add a missing check in prof_realloc(). These fixes protect
+ allocation events against concurrent prof_active changes.
+ + Fix ixallocx_prof() to pass usize_max and zero to ixallocx_prof_sample()
+ in the correct order.
+ + Fix prof_realloc() to call prof_free_sampled_object() after calling
+ prof_malloc_sample_object(). Prior to this fix, if tctx and old_tctx were
+ the same, the tctx could have been prematurely destroyed.
+ - Fix portability bugs:
+ + Don't bitshift by negative amounts when encoding/decoding run sizes in
+ chunk header maps. This affected systems with page sizes greater than 8
+ KiB.
+ + Rename index_t to szind_t to avoid an existing type on Solaris.
+ + Add JEMALLOC_CXX_THROW to the memalign() function prototype, in order to
+ match glibc and avoid compilation errors when including both
+ jemalloc/jemalloc.h and malloc.h in C++ code.
+ + Don't assume that /bin/sh is appropriate when running size_classes.sh
+ during configuration.
+ + Consider __sparcv9 a synonym for __sparc64__ when defining LG_QUANTUM.
+ + Link tests to librt if it contains clock_gettime(2).
