remove the limit of the number of ever existed threads in asan #273

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Today asan will die after 4M threads are created, because we keep some 
small amount of metadata for every thread that ever lived. 
We should eventually remove this limitation.

One thing that limits us is the number of bits we can spend for thread id.
Currently it is 24:
struct ChunkHeader {
  // 1-st 8 bytes.
  u32 chunk_state       : 8;  // Must be first.
  u32 alloc_tid         : 24;

  u32 free_tid          : 24;
...

I keep seeing such errors:

=================================================================
==26629==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: attempting free on address which was not 
malloc()-ed: 0x000001e28790 in thread T16777215
==26629==AddressSanitizer CHECK failed: 
/local/mar_/llvm-3.4/projects/compiler-rt/lib/asan/asan_report.cc:595 
"((free_stack->size)) > ((0))" (0x0, 0x0)

Can you confirm this is the same issue?

Is there some workaround possible?

Thanks,
Martin

P.S. What pointed me to this bug was the thread id, which is always: T16777215 
(0xffffff).

Also, it looks like these crashes happen mostly on process shutdown.

Best regards,
Martin

I don't think your crashes are related to this bug. It may be a real bug in the 
code. 
How many threads do you have? (run with ASAN_OPTIONS=verbosity=1 if you don't 
know). 
Do you have a reproducer?

Will try to reproduce it.

I reproduced it with verbosity=1, attaching the log.

==61871==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: attempting free on address which was not 
malloc()-ed: 0x7f2192ae7010 in thread T16777215
==61871==AddressSanitizer CHECK failed: 
/local/mar_/llvm-3.4/projects/compiler-rt/lib/asan/asan_report.cc:595 
"((free_stack->size)) > ((0))" (0x0, 0x0) 

Unfortunately this is a complex test, so no reproducer yet. Let me know if I 
should enable some other trace. The error happens when a server is shutting 
down, and the process crashes with signal 11 (after the ASan report).

Please create a separate bug for this issue, this one is about something 
completely different.
