@@ -92,6 +92,11 @@ Major new features:
--enable-static-pie, which no longer has any effect on the build
configuration.
+* On Linux, a new tunable, glibc.malloc.hugetlb, can be used to
+ make malloc issue madvise plus MADV_HUGEPAGE on mmap and sbrk calls.
+ Setting this might improve performance with Transparent Huge Pages madvise
+ mode depending of the workload.
+
Deprecated and removed features, and other changes affecting compatibility:
* On x86-64, the LD_PREFER_MAP_32BIT_EXEC environment variable support
