2018-05-24Add support for using the new unwinder.Christopher Ferris
This adds a new option backtrace_full, when it is set, then it will use libunwindstack. Modify the dump to file data to dump the extra information from libunwindstack. Along with the new dump file format, change the version to v1.1. Updated document for new format of file data. Add unit tests for the new functionality. Bug: 74361929 Test: Ran unit tests.

2018-04-02Refactor malloc debug.Christopher Ferris
Changes - Refactor the code so that only guards require creating a special header for every pointer allocated. - Store only a single copy of every backtrace. This saves memory so that turning on the backtrace option doesn't result in 10X memory usage. - Added new option track_allocs that only verifies pointers are valid for free/malloc_usable_size/realloc. - Remove suffix from test names. - Add the TRACK_ALLOCS options to all guard options. - Add new option verify_pointers that is a lightweight way to verify pointers that are passed to allocation routines. - Do auto-formatting of the code. - Updated documentation for all of these changes. Bug: 74361929 Test: Ran unit tests. Test: Ran libmemunreachable unit tests. Test: Ran an app with backtrace enabled. Change-Id: I3246c48ae4f9811f64622d90d0a9b4d9d818702c
2018-02-13Switch the rest of our internal headers to #pragma once.Elliott Hughes
We've been using #pragma once for new internal files, but let's be more bold. Bug: N/A Test: builds Change-Id: I7e2ee2730043bd884f9571cdbd8b524043030c07
2017-09-05Provide method to dump backtrace heap data.Christopher Ferris
For non-zygote spawned processes, we might want to dump the backtrace data. Provide a method to send a signal to a process and then dump the data to a file. Adds a method to dump the backtrace data on exit. Update documentation and explain format of heap dump data. Test: Ran unit tests, enabled new options and used them.

2016-02-12Fix the default alignment of the allocations.Christopher Ferris
In order to enforce this constraint: The pointer returned if the allocation succeeds shall be suitably aligned so that it may be assigned to a pointer to any type of object and then used to access such an object in the space allocated. Force all allocations on 32 bit systems to have 8 byte alignment, and all allocations on 64 bit systems to have 16 byte alignment. Add a test to verify that the allocator returns the correct alignments. Bug: 26739265 Change-Id: I9af53279617408676b94e4ec6481b3ed7ffafc6a
2016-02-02Remove the unused TrackHeader structure.Christopher Ferris
Change-Id: I07ae5de717e1fcfbe5dfe552a531db9f630da622
2016-01-29Add better free tracking.Christopher Ferris
Included in this change: - Change the tag when a pointer is freed so it's easy to detect if an already freed pointer is being used. - Move the free backtrace out of the header. This backtrace is only used under only some circumstances, so no need to allocate space in all headers for it. - Add new option free_track_backtrace_num_frames to specify how many frames to record when the free occurs. This removes the dependency on the backtrace option to get backtraces. Bug: 26739265 Change-Id: I76f5209507dcf46af67ada162a7cb2bf282116f2
2016-01-25Malloc debug rewrite.Christopher Ferris
The major components of the rewrite: - Completely remove the qemu shared library code. Nobody was using it and it appears to have broken at some point. - Adds the ability to enable/disable different options independently. - Adds a new option that can enable the backtrace on alloc/free when a process gets a specific signal. - Adds a new way to enable malloc debug. If a special property is set, and the process has an environment variable set, then debug malloc will be enabled. This allows something that might be a derivative of app_process to be started with an environment variable being enabled. - get_malloc_leak_info() used to return one element for each pointer that had the exact same backtrace. The new version returns information for every one of the pointers with same backtrace. It turns out ddms already automatically coalesces these, so the old method simply hid the fact that there where multiple pointers with the same amount of backtrace. - Moved all of the malloc debug specific code into the library. Nothing related to the malloc debug data structures remains in libc. - Removed the calls to the debug malloc cleanup routine. Instead, I added an atexit call with the debug malloc cleanup routine. This gets around most problems related to the timing of doing the cleanup. The new properties and environment variables: libc.debug.malloc.options Set by option name (such as "backtrace"). Setting this to a bad value will cause a usage statement to be printed to the log. libc.debug.malloc.program Same as before. If this is set, then only the program named will be launched with malloc debug enabled. This is not a complete match, but if any part of the property is in the program name, malloc debug is enabled. libc.debug.malloc.env_enabled If set, then malloc debug is only enabled if the running process has the environment variable LIBC_DEBUG_MALLOC_ENABLE set.
