Port jemalloc [pdf] from FreeBSD. =46rom the pdf =93Jemalloc is a memory =
=20
allocator that builds on the state of the art to provide scalable =20
concurrent allocation for applications. Benchmarks indicate that with =20=

this allocator, memory allocation for multi-threaded applications =20
scales well as the number of processors increases. At the same time, =20
single-threaded allocation performance is similar to FreeBSD=92s =20
previous allocator implementation.=94 [Andrew Doran]

Added support for kernel core dumps to RAID 1 sets. [Greg Oster]

the protocol header from packets received on a raw socket. [David Young]

UDP in IPv4. The Mobile IP encapsulation is no more. [David Young]
