for ChangeLog

	* malloc/malloc.c (__libc_malloc): Add memory_malloc_retry probe.
	(__libc_realloc): Add memory_realloc_retry probe.
	(__libc_memalign): Add memory_memalign_retry probe.
	(__libc_valloc): Add memory_valloc_retry probe.
	(__libc_pvalloc): Add memory_pvalloc_retry probe.

+obtain the requested amount of memory from the arena in use, before they
+call @code{arena_get_retry} to select an alternate arena in which to
+retry the allocation.  Argument @var{$arg1} is the amount of memory
+requested by the user; in the @code{calloc} case, that is the total size
+computed from both function arguments.  In the @code{realloc} case,
+@var{$arg2} is the pointer to the memory area being resized.  In the
+@code{memalign} case, @var{$arg2} is the alignment to be used for the
+request, which may be stricter than the value passed to the
+@code{memalign} function.

+Note that the argument order does @emph{not} match that of the

+user-requested allocation size is in @var{$arg1}.

 @deftp Probe memory_arena_new (void *@var{$arg1}, size_t @var{$arg2})
 This probe is triggered when @code{malloc} allocates and initializes an
 additional arena (not the main arena), but before the arena is assigned
