a4bd5210d5 Import jemalloc 9ef7f5dc34ff02f50d401e41c8d9a4a928e7c2aa (dev branch,
prior to 3.0.0 release) as contrib/jemalloc, and integrate it into libc.
The code being imported by this commit diverged from
lib/libc/stdlib/malloc.c in March 2010, which means that a portion of
the jemalloc 1.0.0 ChangeLog entries are relevant, as are the entries
for all subsequent releases.

9e16bab42a Add aligned_alloc(3).
The C11 folks reinvented the wheel by introducing an aligned version of
malloc(3) called aligned_alloc(3), instead of posix_memalign(3). Instead
of returning the allocation by reference, it returns the address, just
like malloc(3).

0a31efe016 Implement quick_exit() / at_quick_exit() from C++11 / C1x. Also add a
__noreturn macro and modify the other exiting functions to use it.

The __noreturn macro, unlike __dead2, must be used BEFORE the function.
This is in line with the C and C++ specifications that place _Noreturn (c1x)
and [[noreturn]] (C++11) in front of the functions.  As with __dead2, this
macro falls back to using the GCC attribute.

Unfortunately, clang currently sets the same value for the C version macro
in C99 and C1x modes, so these functions are hidden by default.  At some
point before 10.0, I need to go through the headers and clean up the C1x /
C++11 visibility.

3c87aa1d3d Implement xlocale APIs from Darwin, mainly for use by libc++. This adds a
load of _l suffixed versions of various standard library functions that use
the global locale, making them take an explicit locale parameter.  Also
adds support for per-thread locales.  This work was funded by the FreeBSD
Foundation.

Please test any code you have that uses the C standard locale functions!

d6742bfbd3 Add thread-specific caching for small size classes, based on magazines.
This caching allows for completely lock-free allocation/deallocation in the
steady state, at the expense of likely increased memory use and
fragmentation.

Reduce the default number of arenas to 2*ncpus, since thread-specific
caching typically reduces arena contention.

Modify size class spacing to include ranges of 2^n-spaced, quantum-spaced,
cacheline-spaced, and subpage-spaced size classes.  The advantages are:
fewer size classes, reduced false cacheline sharing, and reduced internal
fragmentation for allocations that are slightly over 512, 1024, etc.

Increase RUN_MAX_SMALL, in order to limit fragmentation for the
subpage-spaced size classes.

Add a size-->bin lookup table for small sizes to simplify translating sizes
to size classes.  Include a hard-coded constant table that is used unless
custom size class spacing is specified at run time.

Add the ability to disable tiny size classes at compile time via
MALLOC_TINY.

bc093719ca Integrate the new MPSAFE TTY layer to the FreeBSD operating system.
The last half year I've been working on a replacement TTY layer for the
FreeBSD kernel. The new TTY layer was designed to improve the following:

- Improved driver model:

  The old TTY layer has a driver model that is not abstract enough to
  make it friendly to use. A good example is the output path, where the
  device drivers directly access the output buffers. This means that an
  in-kernel PPP implementation must always convert network buffers into
  TTY buffers.

  If a PPP implementation would be built on top of the new TTY layer
  (still needs a hooks layer, though), it would allow the PPP
  implementation to directly hand the data to the TTY driver.

- Improved hotplugging:

  With the old TTY layer, it isn't entirely safe to destroy TTY's from
  the system. This implementation has a two-step destructing design,
  where the driver first abandons the TTY. After all threads have left
  the TTY, the TTY layer calls a routine in the driver, which can be
  used to free resources (unit numbers, etc).

  The pts(4) driver also implements this feature, which means
  posix_openpt() will now return PTY's that are created on the fly.

- Improved performance:

  One of the major improvements is the per-TTY mutex, which is expected
  to improve scalability when compared to the old Giant locking.
  Another change is the unbuffered copying to userspace, which is both
  used on TTY device nodes and PTY masters.

Upgrading should be quite straightforward. Unlike previous versions,
existing kernel configuration files do not need to be changed, except
when they reference device drivers that are listed in UPDATING.

e3580e9d91 Don't export the unused __use_pts() routine.
The __use_pts() routine was once probably used by libutil to determine
if we are using BSD or UNIX98 style PTY device names. It doesn't seem to
be used outside grantpt.c, which means we can make it static and remove
it from the Symbol.map.
