Antonio Andelic ebacec3a1a Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC for background thread sleep to prevent clock rollback stalls
background_thread_sleep() computed the pthread_cond_timedwait deadline
from gettimeofday() (CLOCK_REALTIME). If the wall clock jumps backward
(NTP correction, VM snapshot, leap second), the deadline ends up far in
the future and the background thread stops purging dirty pages -
potentially for hours or days. This was observed in production where
NTP corrections caused unbounded RSS growth due to the background
thread stalling.

Switch deadline computation to nstime_init_update() (which already
handles the monotonic vs realtime fallback), and set CLOCK_MONOTONIC
on the condvar via pthread_condattr_setclock at both init sites
(background_thread_boot1 and background_thread_postfork_child), with
fallback to CLOCK_REALTIME if condattr init/setclock fails.

jemalloc is a general purpose malloc(3) implementation that emphasizes
fragmentation avoidance and scalable concurrency support.  jemalloc first came
into use as the FreeBSD libc allocator in 2005, and since then it has found its
way into numerous applications that rely on its predictable behavior.  In 2010
jemalloc development efforts broadened to include developer support features
such as heap profiling and extensive monitoring/tuning hooks.  Modern jemalloc
releases continue to be integrated back into FreeBSD, and therefore versatility
remains critical.  Ongoing development efforts trend toward making jemalloc
among the best allocators for a broad range of demanding applications, and
eliminating/mitigating weaknesses that have practical repercussions for real
world applications.

The COPYING file contains copyright and licensing information.

The INSTALL file contains information on how to configure, build, and install
jemalloc.

The ChangeLog file contains a brief summary of changes for each release.
