* google-perftools: initial release:
The google-perftools package contains some utilities to improve
and analyze the performance of C++ programs. This includes an
optimized thread-caching malloc() and cpu and heap profiling
utilities.

* google-perftools: version 0.2 release
* Use mmap2() instead of mmap(), to map more memory (menage)
* Do correct pthread-local checking in heap-checker! (maxim)
* Avoid overflow on 64-bit machines in pprof (sanjay)
* Add a few more GetPC() functions, including for AMD (csilvers)
* Better method for overriding pthread functions (menage)
* (Hacky) fix to avoid overwriting profile files after fork() (csilvers)
* Crashing bugfix involving dumping heaps on small-stack threads (tudor)
* Allow library versions with letters at the end (csilvers)
* Config fixes for systems that don't define PATH_MAX (csilvers)
* Confix fixes so we no longer need config.h after install (csilvers)
* Fix to pprof to correctly read very big cpu profiles (csilvers)
* Fix to pprof to deal with new commandline flags in modern gv's
* Better error reporting when we can't access /proc/maps (etune)
* Get rid of the libc-preallocate code (which could crash on some
systems); no longer needed with local-threads fix (csilvers)
Fri Jun 24 18:02:26 2005 Google Inc. <opensource@google.com>
* Add missing errno include for one of the unittests (csilvers)
* Reduce tcmalloc startup memory from 5M to 256K (sanjay)
* Add support for mallopt() and mallinfo (sanjay)
* Improve stacktrace's performance on some 64-bit systems (etune)
* Improve the stacktrace unittest (etune)
Wed Oct 26 15:19:16 2005 Google Inc. <opensource@google.com>
* Decrease fragmentation in tcmalloc (lefevere)
* Support for ARM in some of the thread-specific code (markus)
* Turn off heap-checker for statically-linked binaries, which
cause error leak reports now (etune)
* Many pprof improvements, including a command-line interface (jeff)
* CPU profiling now automatically affects all threads in linux 2.6.
(Kernel bugs break CPU profiling and threads in linux 2.4 a bit.)
ProfilerEnable() and ProfilerDisable() are deprecated. (sanjay)
* tcmalloc now correctly intercepts memalign (m3b, maxim)
* Syntax fix: added missing va_end()s. Helps non-gcc compiling (etune)
* Fixed a few coredumper bugs: race condition after PTRACE_DETACH,
ignore non-aligned stackframe pointers (markus, menage)
* 64-bit cleanup, especially for spinlock code (etune) and mmap (sanjay)
* Better support for finding threads in linux (markus)
* tcmalloc now tracks those stack traces that allocate memory (sanjay)
* Work around a weird setspecific problem (sanjay)
* Fix tcmalloc overflow problems when an alloc is close to 2G/4G (sanjay)
