PATCHES_APPLIED - platform/external/valgrind - Gitiles


 (Started this file at 14 Feb 02, 18:18 GMT)

 I decided it would be clearest for everybody (including me!) if I make
 a record of patches that I apply.  The starting point for all these is
 valgrind-20020214; patches applied to it before that snapshot was
 released are not recorded anywhere.


 ------------------------------ 14 Feb 02 ------------------------------

 Michael Matz <matz@kde.org>:
    this fixes the leak (32bytes/demangled symbol)in cplus-dem.c.  It also
    again localizes the changes to libiberty's cp-demangle.c at the top with
    some #defines.  (It also has some unrelated changes like header guarding
    and making symbol sets disjoint, these are minor and were needed for the
    demangle_test program, and are local to the demangler)

    JRS: applied it, but it still seems to leak, running a g++2.96 compiled
    program, at least (/usr/bin/kedit as installed with RH72).
    (reenable VG_(show_all_arena_stats)() at vg_demangle.c:63 to see this)


 Michael Matz <matz@kde.org>
    here the patch for changing order of restorage of %esp to not trash
    simulees stack


 Simon Hausmann <hausmann@kde.org>
    I attached a patch for the latest vg snapshot to implement better
    support for shmat. Vg now correct marks the region returned by shmat
    as read or read-writable (we have to do that blindly as there is no
    way to figure out if another process initialized the data or not) .
    Also the patch adds a paranoia check for the buffer passed with
    shmctl. What's left todo is to make shmdt correctly mark the shm
    segment as invalid again, but I see no easy way to figure out the
    shm segment size just from the base address. Anyone? :)
    Otherwise it'll probably require keeping a copy of the allocated
    mappings inside vg -- shouldn't be expensive though.
    [...]
    Oops, my previous shm patch contained a little bug in that it called
    must_be_readable/writable for shmctl even when the address was 0
    (which for example is the case when using IPC_RMID to remove a
    shared memory segment, which is perfectly valid) . Attached the
    updated patch that makes valgrinding Qt/Embedded apps possible :)


 me:
    Check for accessibility changes for first and last 64k of address
    space after every system call, so as to catch syscall wrapper
    bugs as soon as they happen


 Simon Hausmann <hausmann@kde.org>
    The socketpair handler checks that the two fds passed must be
    readable, but I think the check should use must_be_writable instead
    as the kernel does not read those values but fills them in.


 Simon Hausmann <hausmann@kde.org>
    Here's a patch that implements checking of arguments for
    sendmsg/recvmsg, as part of the socket syscall.
    [...]
    Oops, I just realized that the recvmsg wrapper should mark the
    fields of the received message as readable, as the kernel hopefully
    initialized them :)
    [...]
    Corrected patch attached.


 Nick Nethercote <njn25@cam.ac.uk>
    [Implemented pushaw/pushal/popaw/popal]

    They're kind of ugly due to the special treatment of %esp, but there
    didn't seem to be any elegant way around it.  You may object to my
    heinous magic number use with the registers.

    It seems to work ok, but I'd check it carefully if I were you.  In
    particular, I've only tried it with POPAD. (I think;  gcc only accepts
    'popa' in assembler files, and according to the Intel docs will probably
    choose between POPA and POPAD by looking at the D flag of the current
    code segment's descriptor.  I'm guessing this is 32-bits for my little
    test program.)


 Dirk Mueller <mueller@kde.org>
    below a patch for checking if allocations are done correctly in C++
    applications. it checks if new is free'ed by delete, new [] by delete [],
    and malloc, calloc, realloc by free().

    It works for me <tm>, not intensively tested yet.

    I.e. I would find the attached patch more usefull, which introduces an
    --bt-size=<num> option (with docu ;-) ) but removes that long=yes/no
    option.

    JRS: the final name for the option is --num-callers


 ------------------------------ 15 Feb 02 ------------------------------

 me:
    fix assertion failure in VG_(malloc_aligned) (duh. duh. duh.)


 Michael Matz <matzmich@cs.tu-berlin.de>
    [finally fix the last space leak in the demangler]
    this should now fix the rest of the leaks.  The old c++ demangler is
    really crappy code, therefor it took longer to find the leaks.  ;)


 Simon Hausmann <hausmann@kde.org>
    Here are two micro patches for vg :)

    The first one fixes what I think is a bug: I think the result param
    of llseek before the actual syscall should be checked for
    writability instead of readability.

    The second one is a quick workaround for an assertion in the
    demangler that I hit quite sometimes (I'm surprised noone else has
    hit it before, maybe it's gcc3 specific though :) . I'm too lazy to
    write a full strtol replacement for now ;) , so just returning an
    error will keep the program running and output the mangled symbol
    instead.


 ------------------------------ 17 Feb 02 ------------------------------

 me:
    Implement cleverer semantics for 4-byte integer loads from partially
    valid addresses, following complains from Coolo re spurious warnings
    from gcc-inlined strlen()s.  As part of this, hardwire the default
    behaviour of --bad-addr-value and get rid of this flag entirely.
    New flag --partial-loads-ok=no|yes [default yes] controls use of
    new semantics.  Also as a result, stop recommending people use
    --sloppy-malloc=yes by default.

 me:
    Options are now read from env var VALGRIND_OPTS.
    Also remove need to edit hardware install dir in shell script.


 Michael Matz <matzmich@cs.tu-berlin.de>
 Simon Hausmann <hausmann@kde.org>
    this fixes some leaks in the v3 demangler found by Simon (Julian: i.e.
    those we couldn't possibly run into, as we use v2 demangling).


 ------------------------------ 18 Feb 02 ------------------------------

 me:
    Tighten up the conditions for which --partial-loads-ok=yes is allowed

 me:
    Error management: slow down collecting errors after the 50th
    and stop altogether after the 500th

 me:
    Implement --workaround-gcc296-bugs, so RH 7.X and Mandrake users
    can use their default compilers.


 ------------------------------ 20 Feb 02 ------------------------------

 me:
    Massive overhaul of the signal machinery so that signals can be
    delivered to the client even when it is blocked in a system call.
    This fixes the kmail-deadlocks-on-valgrind problem.

 ------------------------------ 21 Feb 02 ------------------------------

 me:
    Implement GDB attachment to the program.

 Stephan Kulow <coolo@kde.org>
    Implement a few more syscall wrappers

 ------------------------------ 24 Feb 02 ------------------------------

 me:
    Cleanup of the signal machinery.  Now we deal with signals purely
    at the kernel interface, rather than muddying glibc's and the kernel's
    conflicting concepts of some of the calls and structures.

 Kevin Dwyer <kevin@pheared.net>
    Implement bazillions of syscall wrappers for ioctls

 me:
    minor cleanups in vg_memory.c

 ------------------------------ 4 Mar 02 -------------------------------

 This file is falling significantly behind reality.

 Me: get rid of this pointless and incorrect assert:
    vg_memory.c:441 (set_address_range_perms): Assertion `len < 30000000' failed.

 Me: remove incorrect assert:
    vg_assert(u_in->flags_w != FlagsEmpty);

 Sanjay Ghemawat <sanjay@google.com>
    Implement sync (36)
    Make mallopt() into a no-op, rather than panic

 ------------------------------ 7 Mar 02 -------------------------------

 Me
    Complete renaming of the kernel interface (vg_kerneliface.h)
    definitions.

 "Byrial Jensen" <byrial@image.dk>
    Use kernel rather than glibc sizes for struct termios

 Martin Jones <mjones@trolltech.com>
    Implement ioctl MIXER_WRITE(0)

 Jon Trowbridge <trow@ximian.com>
    Implement syscall pwrite (181)

 Me
    Revamp the leak detector; fix various segfaults and bus errors in
    it, and add the --show-reachable=no|yes flag, which makes it more
    useful.

 ------------------------------ 8 Mar 02 -------------------------------

 Me
    Split up huge basic blocks into pieces, to avoid this:
    vg_main.c:495 (vgPlain_create_translation_for): Assertion
       `trans_size > 0 && trans_size < 65536' failed

 Crispin Flowerday <cflowerday@zeus.com>
    Implement syscall sendfile (187)
    Allow accept to have NULL 3rd argument

 Me

    Various ioctls for the SCSI generic (sg) driver.  Currently #if 0'd.

 Me
    Fix obscure simulated CPU bug causing this:
    -1: CMOVW     t34, t36  (-rOSZACP)
    valgrind: vg_to_ucode.c:4197 (disInstr): Assertion `sane' failed.
    (Spotted by Thorsten Schnebeck <thorsten.schnebeck@gmx.net>)

 Me
    Add yet more suppressions to linux24.supp

 Me [subrev b only]
    In the leak checker, use __builtin_{setjmp,longjmp} instead of the
    glibc (pthread) versions.  This avoids a subtle memory corruption
    problem caused by pthread_longjmp (or whatever it is called), which
    finally manifests itself in this assertion failure:
       vgPlain_primary_map[i] == & vg_distinguished_secondary_map

	-1: CMOVW t34, t36 (-rOSZACP)
	valgrind: vg_to_ucode.c:4197 (disInstr): Assertion `sane' failed.
	(Spotted by Thorsten Schnebeck <thorsten.schnebeck@gmx.net>)

	Me
	Add yet more suppressions to linux24.supp

	Me [subrev b only]
	In the leak checker, use __builtin_{setjmp,longjmp} instead of the
	glibc (pthread) versions. This avoids a subtle memory corruption
	problem caused by pthread_longjmp (or whatever it is called), which
	finally manifests itself in this assertion failure:
	vgPlain_primary_map[i] == & vg_distinguished_secondary_map
	Many thanks to Michael Matz for coming up with an easy solution
	which saved me hours of pissing around.

	----------------------------- 15 Mar 02 -------------------------------

	Stephan Kulow <coolo@kde.org>
	Ioctls TIOCGPTN and TIOCSPTLCK

	Frank Zago <fzago@greshamstorage.com>
	Various ioctls for the SCSI generic (sg) driver; these are now engaged.

	Harri Porten <porten@trolltech.com>
	Fix "tiny omission" in debug outputs in vg_clientmalloc.c.

	Wolfram Gloger <wg@malloc.de>
	mallopt returns 1 on success, not 0.
	Implement __posix_memalign.

	Alasdair G Kergon <agk@arachsys.com>
	Syscalls
	setfsgid (139), setregid(71), setresuid(164), setfsuid(138).
	(argc,argv,envp) hack: reject candidate alignments giving argc==0.

	Malte Starostik <malte@kde.org>
	Various ioctls, including some ISDN ones.

	Richard Moore <rich@xmelegance.org>
	Syscalls mlockall (152), munlockall (153), sched_get_priority_max (159),
	sched_getscheduler (156), NR_sched_setscheduler (157).
	Ioctl SG_IO.
	Print ioctl numbers in hex.

	Me
	Syscall _sysctl (149).

	Aaron M. Ucko <amu@alum.mit.edu>
	Use the size/dir info encoded in the top 16 bits of an ioctl number,
	where appropriate.

	Dirk Mueller <dirk@kde.org>
	Syscall setfsuid32 (215), and bazillions of ioctls, mostly linux
	soundcard ones.

	Me
	(following request from Dirk Mueller)
	Rehash of context management system. Now --num-callers= accepts
	values from 2 to 50. Also --leak-resolution=low\|med\|high adjusts
	how the leak detector presents results. RTFM ...

	----------------------------- 15 Mar 02 second snapshot (0315b) -------

	Me
	Allow suppression of invalid free and mismatching free errors.

	Resurrect the internal profiling stuff (VG_PROFILE) and then fail
	to find anything obvious that I could speed up :-(

	Start playing with using AMD cache prefetch insns as described
	in docs/techdocs.html.

	Wrap ioctl SNDCTL_DSP_GETSPDIF in #ifdef; apparently undefined in
	RH 7.2.

	----------------------------- 17 Mar 02 -------------------------------

	Me
	New flag -q --quiet, so it just prints error messages and nothing
	else

	Experimental feature: allow clients to set/check memory range
	permissions. Read documentation pertaining to the --client-perms
	flag.

	----------------------------- 19 Mar 02 -------------------------------

	Harri Porten <porten@trolltech.com>
	Syscalls fchown (95), fchown32 (207)

	Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com>
	Syscall ftruncate64 (194)

	<hansen> (?? on irc; can't remember)
	Syscall chown32 (212)

	Me
	Modify implementation of "sahf" insn, so that the instrumenter
	creates code which checks the definedness of just %AH rather than
	all of %EAX. Fixes a spurious warning reported by Daniel
	Veillard <veillard@redhat.com>.

	----------------------------- 20 Mar 02 -------------------------------

	Me
	Allow suppressions with a single top-stack-frame spec, to help folks
	who have to suppress errors in libraries compiled with
	-fomit-frame-pointer.

	Implement x86 "das" insn. Stranger than strange.

	Adam Gundy <arg@cyberscience.com>
	ioctls TCSETA, TCGETA.

	----------------------------- 24 Mar 02 -------------------------------

	Move to putting stuff in ChangeLog. This file finishes here.
