a more complex aligned allocation algorithm, similar to that used for
alignment greater than the chunk size.

chunks. This allows runs to be any multiple of the page size. The
primary advantage is that large objects are no longer constrained to be
2^n pages, which can dramatically decrease internal fragmentation for
large objects. This also allows the sizes for runs that back small
objects to be more finely tuned.
Free runs are searched for linearly using the chunk page map (with the
help of some heuristic optimizations). This changes the allocation
policy from "first best fit" to "first fit". A prototype red-black tree
implementation for tracking free runs that implemented "first best fit"
did not cause a measurable speed or memory usage difference for
realistic chunk sizes (though of course it is possible to construct
benchmarks that favor one allocation policy over another).
Refine the handling of fullness constraints for small runs to be more
tunable.
Restructure the per chunk page map to contain only two fields per entry,
rather than four. Also, increase each entry from 4 to 8 bytes, since it
allows for 32-bit integers, without increasing the number of chunk
header pages.
Relax the maximum chunk size constraint. This is of no practical
interest; it is merely fallout from the chunk page map restructuring.
Revamp statistics gathering and reporting to be faster, clearer and more
informative. Statistics gathering is fast enough now to have little
to no impact on application speed, but it still requires approximately
two extra pages of memory per arena (per process). This memory overhead
may be acceptable for most systems, but we still need to leave
statistics gathering disabled by default in RELENG branches.
Rename NO_MALLOC_EXTRAS to MALLOC_PRODUCTION in order to make its intent
clearer (i.e. it should be defined in RELENG branches).
avoid substantial potential bloat for static binaries that do not
otherwise use any printf(3)-family functions. [1]
Rearrange arena_run_t so that the region bitmask can be minimally sized
according to constraints related to each bin's size class. Previously,
the region bitmask was the same size for all run headers, which wasted
a measurable amount of memory.
Rather than making runs for small objects as large as possible, make
runs as small as possible such that header overhead stays below a
certain bound. There are two exceptions that override the header
overhead bound:
1) If the bound is impossible to honor, it is relaxed on a
per-size-class basis. Since there is one bit of header
overhead per object (plus a constant), it is impossible to
achieve a header overhead less than or equal to 1/(# of bits
per object). For the current setting of maximum 0.5% header
overhead, this relaxation comes into play for {2, 4, 8,
16}-byte objects, for which header overhead is (on 64-bit
systems) {7.1, 4.3, 2.2, 1.2}%, respectively.
2) There is still a cap on small run size, still set to 64kB.
This comes into play for {1024, 2048}-byte objects, for which
header overhead is {1.6, 3.1}%, respectively.
In practice, this reduces the run sizes, which makes worst case
low-water memory usage due to fragmentation less bad. It also reduces
worst case high-water run fragmentation due to non-full runs, but this
is only a constant improvement (most important to small short-lived
processes).
Reduce the default chunk size from 2MB to 1MB. Benchmarks indicate that
the external fragmentation reduction makes 1MB the new sweet spot (as
small as possible without adversely affecting performance).

- cleaned up add-ip code to use the iterator
- made iterator be a thread, which enables auto-asconf now.
- rewrote and cleaned up source address selection (also
made it use new structures).
- Fixed a couple of memory leaks.
- DACK now settable as to how many packets to delay as
well as time.
- connectx() to latest socket API, new associd arg.
- Fixed issue with revoking and loosing potential to
send when we inflate the flight size. We now inflate
the cwnd too and deflate it later when the revoked
chunk is sent or acked.

resistant to packet loss.
This is not enabled by default for "normal" FreeBSD since it might cause
the server providing the RPC service to be hit heavily with RPC traffic

packet loss when talking to a NIS server.
- Set 1 second retry timeout to further realistically handle UDP
packet loss for yp_next packet bursts. If the packet hasn't come
back within 1 second its rather unlikely to come back at all. There
is still back-off mechanism in RPC so if there is another reason
than packet loss for the lack of response within 1 second, the NIS
server will not be totally bombarded with requests.
This reduces the risk of NIS failing with:
yp_next: clnt_call: RPC: Timed out
considerably. This is mainly a problem if you have larger NIS maps
(like at FreeBSD.org) since enumerations of the lists will cause a UDP
packet bursts where a few packets being lost once in a while do
happen.
