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.

The routines in grantpt.c have been moved to ptsname.c in the MPSAFE TTY
layer, because grantpt() is now effectively a no-op. I forgot to remove
the corresponding source file from libc.
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.

The difference with OpenBSD code is that they have KERN_ARND sysctl for

Also simplify the code that handles length modifiers and make it
more conservative. For instance, be explicit about the modifiers

current detection of environ being replaced, which includes being set to
NULL. Without this fix, the environment is not truly wiped, but appears
to be by getenv() until an *env() call is made to alter the enviroment.
This change is necessary to support those applications that use this
method for clearing environ such as Dovecot and Postfix. Applications
such as Sendmail and the base system's env replace environ (already
detected). While neither of these methods are defined by SUSv3, it is
best to support them due to historic reasons and in lieu of a clean,
defined method.
Add extra units tests for clearing environ using four different methods:
1. Set environ to NULL pointer.
2. Set environ[0] to NULL pointer.
3. Set environ to calloc()'d NULL-terminated array.
4. Set environ to static NULL-terminated array.

I guess the original author of the popen() code didn't want to use our
<sys/queue.h> macro's, because the single linked list macro's didn't
offer O(1) deletion. Because I introduced SLIST_REMOVE_NEXT() some time
ago, we can now use the macro's here.
By converting the code to an SLIST, it is more consistent with other
parts of the C library and the operating system.

Previously, once a single template character reached 'z', it would not wrap
around to '0' and keep going until it encountered the original starting
letter. In the edge case that the randomly generated starting name used
all 'z' characters, only that single name would be tried before giving up.
