-# jemalloc provides support for two different libunwind flavors: the original HP libunwind and the one coming with gcc / g++ / libstdc++.
-# The latter is identified by `JEMALLOC_PROF_LIBGCC` and uses `_Unwind_Backtrace` method instead of `unw_backtrace`.
-# At the time ClickHouse uses LLVM libunwind which follows libgcc's way of backtracking.
+# jemalloc provides support two unwind flavors:
+# - JEMALLOC_PROF_LIBUNWIND - unw_backtrace() - gnu libunwind (compatible with llvm libunwind)
+# - JEMALLOC_PROF_LIBGCC - _Unwind_Backtrace() - the original HP libunwind and the one coming with gcc / g++ / libstdc++.
 #
-# ClickHouse has to provide `unw_backtrace` method by the means of [commit 8e2b31e](https://github.com/ClickHouse/libunwind/commit/8e2b31e766dd502f6df74909e04a7dbdf5182eb1).
-target_compile_definitions (_jemalloc PRIVATE -DJEMALLOC_PROF_LIBGCC=1)
+# But for JEMALLOC_PROF_LIBGCC it also calls _Unwind_Backtrace() during
+# bootstraping of jemalloc, which may lead to deadlock, if the dlsym will do
+# allocations somewhere (like glibc does prio 2.34, see [1]).

+#
+# And since ClickHouse unwind already supports unw_backtrace() we can safely
+# switch to it to avoid this deadlock.
