2016-04-14malloc: Remove malloc hooks from fork handlerFlorian Weimer
The fork handler now runs so late that there is no risk anymore that other fork handlers in the same thread use malloc, so it is no longer necessary to install malloc hooks which made a subset of malloc functionality available to the thread that called fork.
2016-04-14malloc: Run fork handler as late as possible [BZ #19431]Florian Weimer
Previously, a thread M invoking fork would acquire locks in this order: (M1) malloc arena locks (in the registered fork handler) (M2) libio list lock A thread F invoking flush (NULL) would acquire locks in this order: (F1) libio list lock (F2) individual _IO_FILE locks A thread G running getdelim would use this order: (G1) _IO_FILE lock (G2) malloc arena lock After executing (M1), (F1), (G1), none of the threads can make progress. This commit changes the fork lock order to: (M'1) libio list lock (M'2) malloc arena locks It explicitly encodes the lock order in the implementations of fork, and does not rely on the registration order, thus avoiding the deadlock.

atomic_exchange_acq() expected a pointer, but was receiving an integer.
2016-02-19malloc: Remove NO_THREADSFlorian Weimer
No functional change. It was not possible to build without threading support before.

Also note that sumblks in struct mallinfo is always 0. No functional change.
2016-02-19malloc: Remove arena_mem variableFlorian Weimer
The computed value is never used. The accesses were data races.

2015-10-20Convert 113 more function definitions to prototype style (files with ↵Joseph Myers
assertions). This mostly automatically-generated patch converts 113 function definitions in glibc from old-style K&R to prototype-style. Following my other recent such patches, this one deals with the case of function definitions in files that either contain assertions or where grep suggested they might contain assertions - and thus where it isn't possible to use a simple object code comparison as a sanity check on the correctness of the patch, because line numbers are changed. A few such automatically-generated changes needed to be supplemented by manual changes for the result to compile. openat64 had a prototype declaration with "..." but an old-style definition in sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/dl-openat64.c, and "..." needed adding to the generated prototype in the definition (I've filed <https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=68024> for diagnosing such cases in GCC; the old state was undefined behavior not requiring a diagnostic, but one seems a good idea). In addition, as Florian has noted regparm attribute mismatches between declaration and definition are only diagnosed for prototype definitions, and five functions needed internal_function added to their definitions (in the case of __pthread_mutex_cond_lock, via the macro definition of __pthread_mutex_lock) to compile on i386. After this patch is in, remaining old-style definitions are probably most readily fixed manually before we can turn on -Wold-style-definition for all builds.

2015-09-14Use ALIGN_DOWN in systrim.Carlos O'Donell
While doing code review I converted another bespoke round down, and corrected a comment. The comment spoke about keeping at least one page allocated even during systrim, which is not correct. The code does nothing to keep a page allocated. The code does attempt to keep PAD padding as documented in comments and MINSIZE as required by design. Historically in 2002 when Ulrich wrote the code (fa8d436c) the math was inlined into one statement which did reserve an extra page: extra = ((top_size - pad - MINSIZE + (pagesz-1)) / pagesz - 1) * pagesz; There is no reason given for this extra page. In 2010 Anton Branchard's change (b9b42ee0) from division to shifts removed the extra page by dropping the "+ (pagesiz-1), which mean we might have attempted to return -0 via MORECORE. The fix by Will Newton in 2014 added a check for extra being zero (51a7380b). From first principles I see no reason why we should keep an extra page of memory from being trimmed back to the OS. The only sensible interface is to honour PAD padding as the function is documented, with the caveat the MINSIZE is maintained for the top chunk. Given that we've been using this code for 5+ years with no extra page allocated is sufficient evidence that the comment should be changed to match the code that I'm touching. Tested on x86_64 and i686, no regressions.
2015-05-19Avoid deadlock in malloc on backtrace (BZ #16159)Siddhesh Poyarekar
When the malloc subsystem detects some kind of memory corruption, depending on the configuration it prints the error, a backtrace, a memory map and then aborts the process. In this process, the backtrace() call may result in a call to malloc, resulting in various kinds of problematic behavior. In one case, the malloc it calls may detect a corruption and call backtrace again, and a stack overflow may result due to the infinite recursion. In another case, the malloc it calls may deadlock on an arena lock with the malloc (or free, realloc, etc.) that detected the corruption. In yet another case, if the program is linked with pthreads, backtrace may do a pthread_once initialization, which deadlocks on itself. In all these cases, the program exit is not as intended. This is avoidable by marking the arena that malloc detected a corruption on, as unusable. The following patch does that. Features of this patch are as follows: - A flag is added to the mstate struct of the arena to indicate if the arena is corrupt. - The flag is checked whenever malloc functions try to get a lock on an arena. If the arena is unusable, a NULL is returned, causing the malloc to use mmap or try the next arena. - malloc_printerr sets the corrupt flag on the arena when it detects a corruption - free does not concern itself with the flag at all. It is not important since the backtrace workflow does not need free. A free in a parallel thread may cause another corruption, but that's not new - The flag check and set are not atomic and may race. This is fine since we don't care about contention during the flag check. We want to make sure that the malloc call in the backtrace does not trip on itself and all that action happens in the same thread and not across threads. I verified that the test case does not show any regressions due to this patch. I also ran the malloc benchmarks and found an insignificant difference in timings (< 2%). * malloc/Makefile (tests): New test case tst-malloc-backtrace. * malloc/arena.c (arena_lock): Check if arena is corrupt.

2015-02-17Use alignment macros, pagesize and powerof2.Carlos O'Donell
We are replacing all of the bespoke alignment code with ALIGN_UP, ALIGN_DOWN, PTR_ALIGN_UP, and PTR_ALIGN_DOWN. This cleans up malloc/malloc.c, malloc/arena.c, and elf/dl-reloc.c. It also makes all the code consistently use pagesize, and powerof2 as required. Code size is reduced with the removal of precomputed pagemask, and use of pagesize instead. No measurable difference in performance. No regressions on x86_64.

2014-05-26Remove nested function mi_arena from malloc_info.Carlos O'Donell
The nested function mi_arena was removed from malloc_info and made into a non-nested static inline function of the same name with the correct set of arguments passed from malloc_info. This enables building glibc with compilers that don't support nested functions. Future work on malloc_info should remove these functions entirely to support JSON format output. Therefore we do the minimum required to remove the nested function.
