Subject: patching jemalloc for linux
Message-ID: <4AF7FBBD.7060701@redpill-linpro.com>

Hello, Jason.

I sent a similar mail 2009-06-05. I guess you are busy on other
projects, but I dare bothering you anyway :-)

You may know the varnish project, where Poul-Henning Kamp is the main
developer. I maintain varnish in Fedora. Some time ago, I asked you
about some strangeness on RHEL5/ppc64.

Now for another case of strange architectures. I got a Fedora bug
because varnish does not compile on s390x, which is a secondary
supported arch in Fedora. The problem is that the version of jemalloc
that we use is missing the necessary ifdefs to work on s390x. So I made
the patch attached, and phk pointed at you.

I don't know much about the s390* platform family, but I got from one of
the Fedora s390x maintainers that the pointer size is 8 bytes, and that
'getconf PAGESIZE' returns 4096.

So, does the patch make sense?

And by the way, is there an upstream project of jemalloc?


Update: Added a similar patch for sparc. Same question.

Regards,
Ingvar Hagelund

You should start by taking a look at Mozilla's version of jemalloc; they
might already have fixed these issues.

Subject: RPM-packages of varnish-2.0.5 for RHEL and Fedora available
Message-ID: <4AF93C7A.2000300@redpill-linpro.com>

I have submitted varnish-2.0.5 for Fedora and Fedora EPEL, and updates 
to the stable releases will be requested, so they will trickle down to 
the stable repos in a few weeks.

For RHEL, both el4 and el5 packages are now in the EPEL testing repo. 
For those who are too impatient to wait for stable, or want to 
participate in testing, you can download the package with yum:

rhel5# yum --enablerepo=epel-testing update varnish

... or download the package from RedHat:

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/testing/

Fedora packages are still pending for testing, but will be visible in a 
few days, I guess. If you need packages for Fedora now, try 
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/varnish/

Bugs in the package can be reported in Red Hat's Bugzilla: 
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/ or to varnish-dist at projects.linpro.no.

Yeah, I was finishing up school, so I was ignoring pretty much 
everything else at the time.  Thanks for your patience.

The patches look fine, and I integrated the relevant portions to the 
stand-alone jemalloc repository I've started maintaining:

	http://canonware.com/cgi-bin/hg_jemalloc

The code is currently specific to Linux, but I may integrate support for 
other platforms over time.

Thanks,
Jason
