heapcheck locks up in pprof #656

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?

Invoking like this, will provide addresses with no symbols, as expected, since 
gperftools doesn't look for pprof in the path for some reason:
env LD_PRELOAD=libtcmalloc.so HEAPCHECK=normal ./my_app

Invoking like this, will hang on program termination, just after printing "The 
N largest leaks:":
env LD_PRELOAD=libtcmalloc.so PPROF_PATH=$(which pprof) HEAPCHECK=normal 
./my_app

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.3rc, Ubuntu 10.04

Thanks for reporting it. Couple questions:

* do you see that hang with earlier versions of gperftools. I'm asking to know 
if it's regression introduced recently (which would be easier to track down) or 
it's something that happens with older versions.

* Can you post simple program that reproduces the hang?

* if you cannot, please attach gdb to hang process and give us backtraces of 
all threads. So that we can see exactly where it hangs.

For some reason, I have two pids, and gdb doesn't list the other pid as a 
thread... which may be indicative of us doing something strange. For the first 
PID:

I tried gpertools 2.2.1 and 2.1 and had the same behavior. I tried strict and 
draconian modes, and that made no difference.

Then out of curiousity, I tried some apps other than mine. Since I notice the 
opengl library in the backtrace, I tried glxinfo, and it had the same behavior:

I also tried a non-opengl app and instead of locking up on termination, it

What caught my eye was the remote profile message and wierd http URL, what's 
going on there?

I was unable to reproduce your problem.

But I there's probably something with pprof. Symbolize function which is seen 
in one of stack traces is spawning pprof to convert addresses to function 
names. And given that it's stuck in read it appears that pprof might be still 
alive.

In order to diagnose I propose you to report output of ps aux --forest here.

Also maybe it might make sense try linking your app to libtcmalloc.so instead 
of LD_PRELOAD-ing it.
