As reported by Matthias Schwarzott <zzam@gentoo.org>. Testcase patch from him. The fix is
for check_CFSI_related_invariants() to avoid checking for overlaps against DebugInfos that are
in 'archived' status, since -- if a previously dlopened-and-then-dlclosed object is later
re-dlopened -- this may cause an overlap between the active and archived DebugInfos, which
is of no consequence. If the kernel maps the object to the same VMA the second time around
then there will *certainly* be an overlap.
This patch implements the flag --delta-stacktrace=yes/no.
Yes indicates to calculate the full history stack traces by
changing just the last frame if no call/return instruction was
executed.
This can speed up helgrind by up to 25%.
This flags is currently set to yes only on linux x86 and amd64, as some
platform dependent validation of the used heuristics is needed before
setting the default to yes on a platform. See function check_cached_rcec_ok
in libhb_core.c for more details about how to validate/check the behaviour
on a new platform.
We can have stacktraces such as:
==41840== by 0x10000927: a1 (deep.c:27)
==41840== by 0x1000096F: main (deep.c:35)
==41840== by 0x4126BEB: generic_start_main.isra.0 (in /usr/lib64/libc-2.17.so)
==41840== by 0x4126E13: __libc_start_main (in /usr/lib64/libc-2.17.so)
So, add generic_start_main.isra.0 as a below main function.
This fixes the test massif/tests/deep-D

* sym name cache to cache the 'isText' characteristic of the cached sym_name
* implement the match anywhere also in the cache

Support work for xtree: as xtree implementation makes a high
nr of calls to get_sym_name, this cache improves the performance
as usually, stacktraces are repeatitively querying the same
addresses.
The cache follows the same principle as the cfsi_m_cache.
In particular, cache is cleared together with the cfsi_m cache.

This implements the interception of all globally public allocation
functions by default. It works by adding a flag to the spec to say the
interception only applies to global functions. Which is set for the
somalloc spec. The librarypath to match is set to "*" unless the user
overrides it. Then each DiSym keeps track of whether the symbol is local
or global. For a spec which has isGlobal set only isGlobal symbols will
match.
Note that because of padding to keep the addresses in DiSym aligned the
addition of the extra bool isGlobal doesn't actually grow the struct.
The comments explain how the struct could be made more compact on 32bit
systems, but this isn't as easy on 64bit systems. So I didn't try to do
that in this patch.
For ELF symbols keeping track of which are global is trivial. For pdb I
had to guess and made only the "Public" symbols global. I don't know
how/if macho keeps track of global symbols or not. For now I just mark
all of them local (which just means things work as previously on platforms
that use machos, no non-system symbols are matches by default for somalloc
unless the user explicitly tells which library name to match).
Included are two testcases for shared libraries (wrapmalloc) and staticly
linked (wrapmallocstatic) malloc/free overrides that depend on the new
default. One existing testcase (new_override) was adjusted to explicitly
not use the new somalloc default because it depends on a user defined
new implementation that has side-effects and should explicitly not be
intercepted.

Use seg->start instead of a as DebugInfoMapping avma. Normally seg->start
equals a. But when it is not then the size of the map might extend beyond
the segment (and not actually cover the start of the segment). When another
ELF file is them mapped right after this then it triggers an overlap purge
of the DebugInfo. In the case the mapping was for libc or ld.so this then
removes all intercepts causing "bad things".

e.g. perf/memrw is improved by 2% to 3% with this patch.
The unwinding code on x86 is trying to unwind using
either the %ebp-chain or CFI unwinding.
If these 2 techniques fail, then it tries to unwind
using FPO (PDB) debug info.
However, unless running wine or similar, there will never be
such FPO/PDB info.
The function VG_(use_FPO_info) is thus called for nothing
for each 'end of stack'. This function scans all the loaded di
to find a debug info that has some FP, to not find anything.
With this patch, the unwind code on x86 will only call VG_(use_FPO_info) if
some FPO/PDB info was loaded.
The fact that FPO/PDB info was loaded is cached and updated similarly to
cfi cache : each time new debug info is loaded, the cache value is refreshed
using the debuginfo generation.
The patch also changes the name of VG_(CF_info_generation)
to VG_(debuginfo_generation), as this generation is changed for
any kind of load or unload of debug info, not only for CFI based debug
info

(1) In r14664 VG_(get_fnname_if_entry) was changed to always
return a function name, even if that function was *not* an
entry. That broke callgrind and was also confusing because
it contradicts what "get_fnname_if_entry" suggests.
(2) In r14189 a function call was removed because it was considered
redundant which it was not.
Both bugs were hunted down by Joseph Weidendorfer.

free it (as the string resides is statically allocated memory). That

The type change exposed two bugs. One in m_addrinfo.c and one in

The functions VG_(get_filename) and VG_(get_filename_lineno) now return
a pointer to filename and directory name instead of copying them into
buffers passed in from the caller.
The returned strings are persistent as long as the DebugInfo to which
they belong is not discarded. The caller therefore needs to stash them
away as needed.
Function VG_(strncpy_safely) has been removed as it is no longer needed.

This patch changes the interface and behaviour of VG_(demangle) and
VG_(maybe_Z_demangle). Instead of copying the demangled name into a
fixed sized buffer that is passed in from the caller (HChar *buf, Int n_buf),
the demangling functions will now return a pointer to the full-length
demangled name (HChar **result). It is the caller's responsiblilty to
make a copy if needed.
This change in function parameters ripples upward
- first: to get_sym_name
- then to the convenience wrappers
- VG_(get_fnname)
- VG_(get_fnname_w_offset)
- VG_(get_fnname_if_entry)
- VG_(get_fnname_raw)
- VG_(get_fnname_no_cxx_demangle)
- VG_(get_datasym_and_offset)
The changes in foComplete then forces the arguments of
- VG_(get_objname) to be changed as well
There are some issues regarding the ownership and persistence of
character strings to consider.
In general, the returned character string is owned by "somebody else"
which means the caller must not free it. Also, the caller must not
modify the returned string as it possibly points to read only memory.
Additionally, the returned string is not necessarily persistent. Here are
the scenarios:
- the returned string is a demangled function name in which case the
memory holding the string will be freed when the demangler is called again.
- the returned string hangs off of a DebugInfo structure in which case
it will be freed when the DebugInfo is discarded
- the returned string hangs off of a segment in the address space manager
in which case it may be overwritten when the segment is merged with
another segment
So the rule of thunb here is: if in doubt strdup the string.

readdwarf3 would only look for alt dwz files using the build-id.
But alt files can be installed relative to the debug (or main) file.
Fix find_debug_file to allow searching of relative files even if
we don't want an ET_REL (rel_ok) file, and pass the build-id to
open_debug_file so it can be checked. Add the debug file path to
_DebugInfoFSM and set it in find_debug_file once opened. Pass the
dbgname or filename as relative file to resolve an altfile in
read_elf_debug_info when we ahava an debugaltlink_escn.

files in the dwarf3 reader.
Basically, the change consists in replacing in the DiInlLoc struct
const HChar* filename; /* caller source filename */
by
UInt fndn_ix; /* index in di->fndnpool of caller source
dirname/filename */
A similar change is done in DiVariable struct, as the
read_filename_Table code is shared between the inline info reader
and the varinfo reader.
Note however that outputting dirname in variable description
is not done. Unclear if that is desired or not.
It should be trivially doable however.
Replacing filename by fndn_ix implies a bunch of semi-mechanical
changes.
The code to read the directory names is in the new function
static
XArray* read_dirname_xa (struct _DebugInfo* di, const HChar *compdir,
Cursor *c,
Bool td3 )
Note that readdwarf.c and readdwarf3.c have significant duplicated
logic. Would be nice to integrate these 2 dwarf readers in one
single reader. This function is directly inspired from
an equivalent piece of code in readdwarf.c.
Modified memcheck/tests/varinfo5.vgtest to test the dirname appears
in the inlined functions.
Impact on memory is neglectable (a few Kb on a big executable).
