At various places, there were either some assumption that the 'end'
boundary (highest address) was either not included, included,
or was the highest addressable word, or the highest addressable byte.
This e.g. was very visible when doing:
./vg-in-place -d -d ./helgrind/tests/tc01_simple_race|&grep regi
giving
--24040:2:stacks register 0xBEDB4000-0xBEDB4FFF as stack 0
--24040:2:stacks register 0x402C000-0x4A2C000 as stack 1
showing that the main stack end was (on x86) not the highest word
but the highest byte, while for the thread 1, the registered end
was a byte not part of the stack.
The attached patch ensures that stack bounds semantic are documented and
consistent. Also, some of the stack handling code is factorised.
The convention that the patch ensures and documents is:
start is the lowest addressable byte, end is the highest addressable byte.
(the words 'min' and 'max' have been kept when already used, as this wording is
consistent with the new semantic of start/end).
In various debug log, used brackets [ and ] to make clear that
both bounds are included.
The code to guess and register the client stack was duplicated
in all the platform specific syswrap-<plat>-<os>.c files.
Code has been factorised in syswrap-generic.c
The patch has been regression tested on
x86, amd64, ppc32/64, s390x.
It has been compiled and one test run on arm64.
Not compiled/not tested on darwin, android, mips32/64, arm
More in details, the patch does the following:
coregrind/pub_core_aspacemgr.h
include/valgrind.h
include/pub_tool_machine.h
coregrind/pub_core_scheduler.h
coregrind/pub_core_stacks.h
- document start/end semantic in various functions
also in pub_tool_machine.h:
- replaces unclear 'bottommost address' by 'lowest address'
(unclear as stack bottom is or at least can be interpreted as
the 'functional' bottom of the stack, which is the highest
address for 'stack growing downwards').
coregrind/pub_core_initimg.h
replace unclear clstack_top by clstack_end
coregrind/m_main.c
updated to clstack_end
coregrind/pub_core_threadstate.h
renamed client_stack_highest_word to client_stack_highest_byte
coregrind/m_scheduler/scheduler.c
computes client_stack_highest_byte as the highest addressable byte
Update comments in call to VG_(show_sched_status)
coregrind/m_machine.c
coregrind/m_stacktrace.c
updated to client_stack_highest_byte, and switched
stack_lowest/highest_word to stack_lowest/highest_byte accordingly
coregrind/m_stacks.c
clarify semantic of start/end,
added a comment to indicate why we invert start/end in register call
(note that the code find_stack_by_addr was already assuming that
end was included as the checks were doing e.g.
sp >= i->start && sp <= i->end
coregrind/pub_core_clientstate.h
coregrind/m_clientstate.c
renames Addr VG_(clstk_base) to Addr VG_(clstk_start_base)
(start to indicate it is the lowest address, base suffix kept
to indicate it is the initial lowest address).
coregrind/m_initimg/initimg-darwin.c
updated to VG_(clstk_start_base)
replace unclear iicii.clstack_top by iicii.clstack_end
updated clstack_max_size computation according to both bounds included.
coregrind/m_initimg/initimg-linux.c
updated to VG_(clstk_start_base)
updated VG_(clstk_end) computation according to both bounds included.
replace unclear iicii.clstack_top by iicii.clstack_end
coregrind/pub_core_aspacemgr.h
extern Addr VG_(am_startup) : clarify semantic of the returned value
coregrind/m_aspacemgr/aspacemgr-linux.c
removed a copy of a comment that was already in pub_core_aspacemgr.h
(avoid double maintenance)
renamed unclear suggested_clstack_top to suggested_clstack_end
(note that here, it looks like suggested_clstack_top was already
the last addressable byte)
* factorisation of the stack guessing and registration causes
mechanical changes in the following files:

coregrind/m_syswrap/syswrap-s390x-linux.c
coregrind/m_syswrap/syswrap-darwin.c
coregrind/m_syswrap/syswrap-arm64-linux.c
Some files to look at more in details:
syswrap-darwin.c : the handling of sysctl(kern.usrstack) looked
buggy to me, and has probably be made correct by the fact that
VG_(clstk_end) is now the last addressable byte. However,unsure
about this, as I could not find any documentation about
sysctl(kern.usrstack). I only find several occurences on the web,
showing that the result of this is page aligned, which I guess
means it must be 1+ the last addressable byte.
syswrap-x86-darwin.c and syswrap-amd64-darwin.c
I suspect the code that was computing client_stack_highest_word
was wrong, and the patch makes it correct.
syswrap-mips64-linux.c
not sure what to do for this code. This is the only code
that was guessing the stack differently from others.
Kept (almost) untouched. To be discussed with mips maintainers.
coregrind/pub_core_libcassert.h
coregrind/m_libcassert.c
* void VG_(show_sched_status):
renamed Bool valgrind_stack_usage to Bool stack_usage
if stack_usage, shows both the valgrind stack usage and
the client stack boundaries
coregrind/m_scheduler/scheduler.c
coregrind/m_gdbserver/server.c
coregrind/m_gdbserver/remote-utils.c
Updated comments in callers to VG_(show_sched_status)

sys_socketcall was duplicated in syswrap-{ppc64|ppc32|arm|mips32|s390x}-linux.c
=>
* Similarly for what was done for sys_ipc, factorise the code in syswrap-linux.c
* re-enabled PRE_MEM_READ for VKI_SYS_SENDMSG and VKI_SYS_RECVMSG
(PRE_MEM_READ calls were commented out around 2003, for what
was supposed a glibc bug.
The PRE_MEM_READ calls were already re-enabled in s390x)
* s390x also had some more checking to verify the addressibility of
the args and fail the syscall with EFAULT if not addressable
=> same checks are now done for all platforms.
(tested on x86/amd64/mips32/s390x/ppc32/ppc64,
compiled for arm-android-emulator)
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@13104
When doing experiment with gcc 4.7.0 and link time optimisation,
encountered link failures on amd64 which were solved by adding
.globl and used attribute.
=> added .globl in similar places for arm/x86/ppc32/s390.
Did not touch darwin (which asm seems somewhat different).

If the pre_thread_ll_create tracking function would be invoked without the
big lock being held, that would trigger a race condition in the tools that
implement this tracking function.

__builtin_setjmp and __builtin_longjmp so that they can be selectively
replaced, on a platform by platform basis. Does not change any
functionality. Related to #259977.
