Hi,

X32 uses 32-bit pointer in software.  But its hardware pointer is
64-bit.  We must use hardware pointer to unwind frames.  This patch
adds uhwptr for hardware pointer and uses it to unwind stack frames.
Tested on Linux/x32, Linux/x86-64 and Linux/ia32.  Please review it
for upstream.

Thanks.

Can't you use the mode __unwind_word__ instead if we are compiling
with GCC?  This way it will always be correct even for x86_64 and x32?

Also I think StackTrace::FastUnwindStack should never be enabled in
general for GCC since it depends on the frame pointer being enabled
which is not always true on either i686 or x86_64 and it is not very
portable at all.

Thanks,
Andrew Pinski

IMNSHO libasan should just use libbacktrace for building backtraces (if
available, or backtrace (3)), libbacktrace can be used even to symbolize
the backtrace on the fly, without the need for additional scripts.

It is a good idea.  In the meantime, we should fix libsanitizer
for x32.

Sorry I am lagging behind e-mail, but I am sure Dmitry, Alexander or
Alexey may submit the patch upstream.
Please make sure to comment the reason for using a separate typedef.

We need our custom unwinder based on frame pointers to remain the
default choice on x86[_64] because this is a hotspot
and replacing it with any library call (especially if that call does
not use frame pointers but instead uses debug info) will slow down
the tool significantly.
The asan docs explicitly say that you need -fno-omit-frame-pointers to
get reasonable bug reports.

Note that on ARM (and on Windows) we are using a library call.

The backtrace at asan crash time definitely isn't a hotspot, so that IMHO is
a place which definitely should use a proper and accurrate library
unwinding.  Frame pointers aren't emitted by default on either x86_64 or
i?86, system libraries likely won't have them, unless people rebuild
everything with -fsanitize=address -fno-omit-frame-pointer (unlikely to
happen) etc.  So relying on frame pointers is definitely very risky.  Even
libasan itself is right now built with, even explicit, -fomit-frame-pointer.

Asan collects stack traces on every malloc/free call.

If a user has asan build where he adds -fsanitize=address, it seems
trivial to add -fno-omit-frame-pointer as well.

That's the right thing. Asan does not unwind itself and performance critical.

Right.
A simple exercise: run 400.perlbench or 483.xalancbmk with asan.
If the stack traces in malloc/free are enabled (which is the default),
they consume 10-30% of time (don't remember the exact numbers).
If we replace fp-based unwinder with something else, this will become 80%.
Most programs we care about (e.g. Chrome or Firefox) behave very
similar to 483.xalancbmk, i.e. they are very malloc intensive and have
deep calls stacks.

I am sensing some optimization here :) Is it really important to
collect the full stack trace for the allocation context? You care
about actual site where the allocation happens -- which might usually
be the calls to the malloc like wrappers. The distance from there to
the leaf should not he too far, right?

Not important if you want to *find* a bug.
Deadly important if you want to *analyze* the bug.
The free()  traces are even more important than malloc() traces.

Trace collection could be disable or reduces for performance.

Hm? You mean the code has xalloc() which calls malloc()?
No problem, just one extra frame to unwind and store.
