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),
enable heap-buffer-overflow and use-after-free functions on 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 add below compilation options when compiling code:
-Dbuildtype=debug -Db_lundef=false -Db_sanitize=address
"-Dbuildtype=debug": Display code information when coredump occurs
in the program.
"-Db_lundef=false": It is enabled by default, and needs to be
disabled when using asan.

This looks great, but can we make it just do-the-right-thing
and get rid of the nerd knobs (i.e no meson configure).

The address sanitizer already has a way to detect if enabled.

GCC uses:
__SANITIZE_ADDRESS__

Clang uses:
#if defined(__has_feature)
#  if __has_feature(address_sanitizer)

On initial inspection, it appears ASAN functionality doesn't work with 
DPDK on PPC architecture.  I tested the patch with several compiler 
versions (gcc 8.3.1 from RHEL 8.3 through gcc 11.2.1 from the IBM 
Advanced Toolchain 15.0) and observed the following error when running 
testpmd with ASAN enabled:

AddressSanitizer:DEADLYSIGNAL
=================================================================
==49246==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: SEGV on unknown address 0x0000a0077bd0

Can you incorporate an exception for PPC architecture with this patch 
while I look into the problem further?

Tried this method you said. It can run successfully. Because gcc and clang have different
Methods for determining whether to turn on the asan function, so if you judge the two
methods in the code, it feels not simple to judge in meson.

We do not have a ppc platform, so there is no adaptation. doc/guides/prog_guide/asan.rst
has stated that we currently only support Linux x86_64. You can adapt according to the
following documents, the main work is to modify the base address according to the platform.

There is already compiler specific #ifdef's why not do this contained in one header file?

The point is DPDK is trying to get away from having configuration settings if at all
possible. Configuration creates dependency nightmares and also leaves many code paths
as never tested.

There are no new meson options being added here. Turning on/off address
sanitizing is a built-in meson option that is there already.

Not sure I follow your point here. We need some macro to easily tell if we
are running with address sanitization enabled or not, so as to avoid having
the multi-compiler detection rules all over the place. The only question is
where it's better to have this in a header file or a meson.build file.
Given your objection and the fact that the meson.build code above looks a
little awkward, I'd suggest putting the conditional checks in malloc_elem.h.

Is something like the following what you had in mind?

  #ifdef __SANITIZE_ADDRESS__
  #define RTE_MALLOC_ASAN
  #elif defined(__has_feature) && __has_feature(address_sanitizer)
  #define RTE_MALLOC_ASAN
  #endif

NVM working of meson as commn base seems like good option.

Agree, we will update it in V2 version and send it soon.
Thanks Bruce for your review and guide. If no other objections, need your help to ACK this feature patch.

+1, good option for the tool enable, thanks a lot for your guide and positive feedback. 
 We will update them in V2 and send V2 soon.
High appreciate that you can ACK this feature patch if no other objection, thanks.

Understand you don't have such a platform.  I looked into it and suggest 
the following change in lib/eal/common/malloc_elem.h:

#define ASAN_SHADOW_GRAIN_SIZE  8
#define ASAN_SHADOW_SCALE       3
#ifdef RTE_ARCH_PPC_64
#define ASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET 0x020000000000
#else
#define ASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET 0x00007fff8000
#endif
#define ASAN_MEM_FREE_FLAG      0xfd
#define ASAN_MEM_REDZONE_FLAG   0xfa
#define ASAN_MEM_TO_SHADOW(mem) (((mem) >> ASAN_SHADOW_SCALE) + 
ASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET)


This resolves the segmentation error I receive.

Great, good information for dpdk asan tool. Because we can't do many tests, 
so when this patch is merged into the main line, you can submit the ppc
architecture patch.

If your argument is that this is x86 only then please ensure it can't be 
enabled on non-x86 platforms such as ARM and PPC.  I can then easily 
submit a follow-on patch to enable for PPC.

As the patch currently stands it enables ASAN on a non-tested platform 
and provides an unexpected error for some users when it can easily be 
avoided.  I'd advise not accepting the patch as currently presented.

Please make sure only x86_64 gets this code enabled.
I'll wait for a new revision, thanks.

I think, we need to opt out only the PPC. According
https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/asan, Arm64 and x86 are
supported.
I suggest resping by opting out PPC, I can test the next version and
confirm the behavior on arm64 and give Ack.

+Memory error detect standard tool - AddressSanitizer(Asan)
+==========================================================
+
+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),
+enabled heap-buffer-overflow and use-after-free functions on dpdk.
+DPDK ASAN function currently only supports on Linux x86_64.
+
+AddressSanitizer is a part of LLVM(3.1+)and GCC(4.8+).
+
+Example heap-buffer-overflow error
+----------------------------------
+
+Following error was reported when Asan was enabled::
+
+    app/test/test_asan_heap_buffer_overflow.c:25: Applied 9 bytes
+    of memory, but accessed the 10th byte of memory, so heap-buffer-overflow
+    appeared.

+Below code results in this error::

+        printf("rte_zmalloc error.");
+        return -1;
+    }
+    p[9] = 'a';

+Usage
+-----
+
+meson build
+^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+To enable Asan in meson build system, use following meson build command:
+
+Example usage::
+
+ meson build -Dbuildtype=debug -Db_lundef=false -Db_sanitize=address
+ ninja -C build
+
+.. Note::
+
+  Centos8 needs to install libasan separately.
+  If the program uses cmdline, when a memory bug occurs, need to execute the "stty echo" command.
