e1dd3c287ba836281de0197670018bd9bbfbd62b 29-May-2012 Iliyan Malchev <malchev@google.com> bionic: import heaptracker as chk_malloc

This patch is a rewrite of libc.debug.malloc = 10 (chk_malloc). It provides
the same features as the original (poison freed memory, detect heap overruns
and underruns), except that it provides more debugging information whenever it
detects a problem.

In addition to the original features, the new chk_malloc() implementation
detects multiple frees within a given range of the last N allocations, N being
configurable via the system property libc.debug.malloc.backlog.

Finally, this patch keeps track of all outstanding memory allocations. On
program exit, we walk that list and report each outstanding allocation.

(There is support (not enabled) for a scanner thread periodically walks over
the list of outstanding allocations as well as the backlog of recently-freed
allocations, checking for heap-usage errors.)

Feature overview:

1) memory leaks
2) multiple frees
3) use after free
4) overrun

Implementation:

-- for each allocation, there is a:
1) stack trace at the time the allocation is made
2) if the memory is freed, there is also a stack trace at the point
3) a front and rear guard (fence)
4) the stack traces are kept together with the allocation

-- the following lists and maintained

1) all outstanding memory allocations
3) a backlog of allocations what are freed; when you call free(), instead of
actually freed, the allocation is moved to this backlog;
4) when the backlog of allocations gets full, the oldest entry gets evicted
from it; at that point, the allocation is checked for overruns or
use-after-free errors, and then actually freed.
5) when the program exits, the list of outstanding allocations and the
backlog are inspected for errors, then freed;

To use this, set the following system properties before running the process or
processes you want to inspect:

libc.malloc.debug.backlog # defaults to 100
libc.malloc.debug 10

When a problem is detected, you will see the following on logcat for a multiple
free:

this works by building a directed graph of acquired
pthread mutexes and making sure there are no loops in
that graph.

this feature is enabled with:

setprop debug.libc.pthread 1

when a potential deadlock is detected, a large warning is
output to the log with appropriate back traces.

currently disabled at compile-time. set PTHREAD_DEBUG_ENABLED=1
to enable.

This change allows an executable to call its destructor functions
(declared with __attribute__((destructor))) to be properly called
when it normally exits.

Note that this is different from calling the destructors of a shared
library when it is unloaded with dlclose() or through program exit,
which are already supported.

bionic: fix clearenv() compiler warning and related comment typos
b74ceb25aae555570df64fa4d4076272733a9a20 17-Nov-2009 Vladimir Chtchetkine <vchtchetkine@google.com> Split libc_debug.so into two .so modules loaded on demand from libc.so

This change is intended to eliminate need to replace libc.so with libc_debug.so in order to enablememory allocation debugging.
This is also the first step towards implementing extended memoryallocation debugging using emulator's capabilities in monitoring memory access.
39f3745cf30efe38482ffead1c32f4e62f6fe32e 22-Jul-2009 Andy McFadden <fadden@android.com> Restore malloc debug.

Some libc changes were preventing the initialization call from being made.
The basic problem appears to be that libc_init_common.c is only built once,
and it's only built for the non-debug libc.
b56b5659b3996e98c2060f168d1cff1474e77d2a 18-Jul-2009 David 'Digit' Turner <digit@google.com> Fix the C library runtime initialization order.

This allows libc.so to run the C runtime initializer as soon as the
dynamic linker loads the shared library, i.e. before any other initializers
(e.g. static C++ constructors in other shared libraries the executable depends
on).

This also removes the bug where the initializers from the executable itself
were run twice: once by the dynamic linker, and another time by __libc_init
as defined by libc_init_dynamic.c

This reverts commit 03eabfe65e1e2c36f4d26c78a730fa19a3bdada3.
03eabfe65e1e2c36f4d26c78a730fa19a3bdada3 28-May-2009 David 'Digit' Turner <digit@google.com> Fix the C library initialization to avoid calling static C++ constructors twice.

The problem was due to the fact that, in the case of dynamic executables,
the dynamic linker calls the DT_PREINIT_ARRAY, DT_INIT and DT_INIT_ARRAY
constructors when loading shared libraries and dynamic executables,
*before* calling the executable's entry point (i.e. arch-$ARCH/bionic/crtbegin_dynamic.c)
which in turns call __libc_init() in libc.so, as defined by bionic/libc_init_dynamic.c

The latter did call these constructors array again, mistakenly.

The patch also updates the documentation of many related functions.

Also adds a new section to linker/README.TXT explaining restrictions on
C library usage.

The patch has been tested on a Dream for stability issues with
proprietary blobs:

- H264 decoding works
- Camera + Video recording works
- GPS works
- Sensors work

The tests in system/extra/tests/bionic/libc/common/test_static_cpp_mutex.cpp has been
run and shows the static C++ constructor being called only once.
