AddressSanitizer (ASan) is a google memory error detect
standard tool. It could help to detect use-after-free and
{heap,stack,global}-buffer overflow bugs in C/C++ programs,
print detailed error information when error happens, large
improve debug efficiency.

By referring to its implementation algorithm
(https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/AddressSanitizerAlgorithm),
ported heap-buffer-overflow and use-after-freefunctions to dpdk.

Here is an example of heap-buffer-overflow bug:
	......
        char *p = rte_zmalloc(NULL, 7, 0);
        p[7] = 'a';
	......

Here is an example of use-after-free bug:
	......
        char *p = rte_zmalloc(NULL, 7, 0);
        rte_free(p);
        *p = 'a';
	......

If you want to use this feature,
you need to use the following compilation options:
-Db_lundef=false -Db_sanitize=address

# Thanks for this patch. It is a useful item.

# Subject could be changed
from:
porting AddressSanitizer feature to DPDK
to
eal: support for  AddressSanitizer
or so

# Could you add a section in the documentation for Sanitizers to
document the build time option and other points that users need to
know.
We can add other sanitizers such as UBSan etc in the future here

# Add a UT test case to make sure it is working in app/test or so.

# Also, Please update the release note for this feature.

Thanks for your positive feedback and review.
Good point, we will update the title in next version.

Make sense to add build option and key points to document, will add this part in doc folder.

WIP to research other sanitizer tool.

This tool could help to detect memory issue, need to change bad code to check if working. 
Suggest listing demo code and tool capture information for user to try if tool works, also add this part into doc.

Sure, we can update the release note if code merge.

UBsan is a good candate.
Some old DPDK patch for the same:
http://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/1573832013-18946-1-git-send-email-hkalra@marvell.com/

It is better to have a  UT to test things are working. You could add it in
app/test/test_address_sanity.c. Tests can be such that
- Skip if not complied with Sanity enabled
- Pass if the code detects the known bad code. You can have test cases
with pubic rte_ API
that internally exercise the verify your implementation related to
new asan_* APIs.

Probably you can send v1 version next i.e change the RFC status to get merged.

Thanks Jacob for your suggestion, we will add unit test for Asan tool later.

How did you test this work?

UNH recently started testing with ASAN and it reveals leaks just in
the unit test.

Merging these annotations will help catch more issues.
But users will hit the current issues that we must fix first.

Our lab WIP to run regression test with enabling Asan tool build, already reported dozens of issues by Asan tool, continue for unit test and issue resolve.

Yeah, it is a powerful tool that could help to catch more issues and error log print, happy that more guys found this tool value and working on this. 
So it is important and meaningful if this tool code could merge. 
These issues only captured when enable Asan tool build, without the tool, not impact current test, also this tool is not supported before. 
We are trying our best and WIP to do regression test based on our all of current regression test cases, capture issues and check. 
Some resolved issue patches for Asan detected have been merged, and found that some of issues we captured are same to UNH captured.
But we can't cover all, once the code merge, more users could guarantee if their code or module have memory issue, and supply solution for issue fix.

As far as i can tell, the regular build is not affected by this patch, 
so no issues will be hit until someone actually runs the test. IMO it's 
better to merge it early to catch more issues than to gate the feature 
on the condition that we fix all bugs unrelated to this feature first.

- This is affecting more than unit tests.

Infinite loop of those messages.
In the thread with Owen, we also noticed what looks like a deadlock
with multiprocess when ASAN is enabled.


- Adding a new feature on top of something that does not work yet
seems at best premature to me.
This patch does not seem that much tested, since those issues above
are fairly easy to catch.

Anyway, the memory allocator is your stuff, so your call.

Prefix for the title of such a patch should be mem:.

Great that you have tried the patch and capture the issue. It is DPDK issue not this patch issue.
We also captured this type issues and selected one, reported in internal system JARA and bugzilla in May. 
Pls check https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722 for detail, some developers are analysis this issue in JIRA but not resolved so far, Anatoly should also know this.
It is DPDK issue, not this patch issue, it doesn't mean we not do much test. 
We put all of thousands of regression cases as case list for this patch test, some issues still are tracking.

Thanks for sharing this.

Sorry, can you rephrase?
I sure hope there are not thousands of issues with ASAN.


Are all identified issues reported in dpdk.org bugzilla?
It would help to have a hint in the bzs title, like "caught with ASAN".

I can't find a report about the infinite loop on invalid fds, making a
dpdk app unable to exit gracefully with ASAN enabled.
But at least, I sent a fix for this, waiting for Anatoly to review.

Anatoly and Jerin like your patch, but it is still a RFC and there
were comments on a missing release note update and unit test.
Please address those comments and submit a regular patch.


Thanks.

Relax, don't have so many issues.
I mean we have thousands of automation dpdk cases, run the cases for DPDK version build with Asan tool, check dpdk code if have memory issue.
Some issues are still WIP to check.

No, we reported common issue to Bugzilla.
Good idea to add title.

Any library dependencies here that might be architecture specific?  I 
applied the patch to a POWER9 system with RHEL 8.3 and observed a SEGV:

ASAN says you should use -fno-omit-frame-pointer to get reasonable backtrace.
