All for clang and mostly Apple clang
There are still numerous deprecated warnings on macOS 10.13
(sem* functions, syscall, sbrk, i386, PIEi, OSSpinLocki, swapcontext, getcontext)
Provide the user with a hint of what caused an out of memory error.
And explain that some memory policies, like selinux deny_execmem
might cause Permission denied errors.
Add an err argument to out_of_memory_NORETURN. And change
am_shadow_alloc to return a SysRes (all three callers were already
checking for errors and calling out_of_memory_NORETURN).
These tests generate a varying number of errors per argument
depending on the platform and compiler.
The filter just prints the first unique error stanza which
allows 8 expecteds to be removed.
Adds a new warning to memcheck when realloc is used with a size of 0.
For a long time this has been "implementation defined" and so
non-portable. With C23 it will become UB.
Also adds a switch to turn off the error generation and a
second switch to select between the most common
"implementation" behaviours. The defaults for this second
switch are baked in at build time.
The number of errors for arguments that gets triggered depends
on how GCC optimzes and generates code for the vg_replace_malloc.c
wrappers. PPC seems to trigger more than amd64.
It returns NULL and 0 status whilst most other platforms
allocatae some undefined amount of memory (which is allowed
by posix).
Update the posix_memalign test as well.
Finally remove some clang warnings about alignment.
This is the first part of
Bug 466104 aligned_alloc problems, part 1
The bulk of this change is try try to get memalign to be more
platform aware. Previously the Valgrind implementation only
reflected the glibc implementation. That meant non-power of
two alignment values would silently get bumped up to the
next largest power of two. Most other platforms return NULL
and set errno to EINVAL.
There are a few other changes. A couple of the other aligned alloc
functions like valloc were caling the Valgrind memalign. This meant
that there weould be an extra Valgrind memalign in any error
callstacks. Now these functions call the allocator directly.
The memcheck memalign2 testcase has been redone. The memalign
parts moved out to per-platform versions and the tescase
itdelf renamed to posix_memalign, since that is all that is left.
I also modified the testcase so that it checks that the
memalign calls check for non-NULL returns, and on platforms
that set errno that it is correctly set. Previously the
test only worked on non-glibc because NULL & alignment is
zero. The platform versions have been tested on glibc,
MUSL, FreeBSD and OpenIndiana and should hopefully run OK
both under memcheck and standalone.
There is stil quite a lot that is NOT done
1. I'm not certain that implementations allocate more memory
and/or use a wider alignment. It doesn't help that almost
universally the memalign implementations are badly
documented, undocumented or buggy.
2. We don't handle very large alignment requests well.
Most implementations will fail and set EINVAL if the
alignment is over half the memory space. Valgrind will
core panic if an aligmnt of over 16Mbytes is requested.
3. We don't generate any memcheck errors for invalid values
of alignment. That's planned in Part 2.
4. The code is static and fixed at compile time. That means that
if you are using MUSL with a glibc-built Valgrind you
will still get glibc memalign behaviour.
I'll wait to see if there are any requests before trying
to make the behaviour selectable at runtime.
