Subject: [PATCH v3 00/22] Reference count checker and related fixes
The perf tool has a class of memory problems where reference counts
are used incorrectly. Memory/address sanitizers and valgrind don't
provide useful ways to debug these problems, you see a memory leak
where the only pertinent information is the original allocation
site. What would be more useful is knowing where a get fails to have a
corresponding put, where there are double puts, etc.
This work was motivated by the roll-back of:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-perf-users/20211118193714.2293728-1-irogers@google.com/
where fixing a missed put resulted in a use-after-free in a different
context. There was a sense in fixing the issue that a game of
wac-a-mole had been embarked upon in adding missed gets and puts.
The basic approach of the change is to add a level of indirection at
the get and put calls. Get allocates a level of indirection that, if
no corresponding put is called, becomes a memory leak (and associated
stack trace) that leak sanitizer can report. Similarly if two puts are
called for the same get, then a double free can be detected by address
sanitizer. This can also detect the use after put, which should also
yield a segv without a sanitizer.
Adding reference count checking to cpu map was done as a proof of
concept, it yielded little other than a location where the use of get
could be cleaner by using its result. Reference count checking on
nsinfo identified a double free of the indirection layer and the
related threads, thereby identifying a data race as discussed here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-perf-users/CAP-5=fWZH20L4kv-BwVtGLwR=Em3AOOT+Q4QGivvQuYn5AsPRg@mail.gmail.com/
Accordingly the dso->lock was extended and use to cover the race.
The v3 version addresses problems in v2, in particular using macros to
avoid #ifdefs. The v3 version applies the reference count checking
approach to two more data structures, maps and map. While maps was
straightforward, struct map showed a problem where reference counted
thing can be on lists and rb-trees that are oblivious to the
reference count. To sanitize this, struct map is changed so that it is
referenced by either a list or rb-tree node and not part of it. This
simplifies the reference count and the patches have caught and fixed a
number of missed or mismatched reference counts relating to struct
map.
The patches are arranged so that API refactors and bug fixes appear
first, then the reference count checker itself appears. This allows
for the refactor and fixes to be applied upstream first, as has
already happened with cpumap.
A wider discussion of the approach is on the mailing list:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-perf-users/YffqnynWcc5oFkI5@kernel.org/T/#mf25ccd7a2e03de92cec29d36e2999a8ab5ec7f88
Comparing it to a past approach:
