Due to my bad review suggestion for the fix for BZ #15089 a check
was removed from systrim to prevent sbrk being called with a zero
argument. Add the check back to avoid this useless work.
ChangeLog:
2014-06-19 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org>
* malloc/malloc.c (systrim): If extra is zero then return
early.
The current malloc_info xml output only has information about
allocations on the heap. Display information about number of mappings
and total mmapped size to this to complete the picture.
The nested function mi_arena was removed from malloc_info
and made into a non-nested static inline function of the same
name with the correct set of arguments passed from malloc_info.
This enables building glibc with compilers that don't support
nested functions. Future work on malloc_info should remove these
functions entirely to support JSON format output. Therefore we
do the minimum required to remove the nested function.
MALLOC_DEBUG is set optionally on the command line. Default the value
to zero if it is not set on the command line, and test its value
with #if rather than #ifdef. Verified the code is identical before
and after this change apart from line numbers.
ChangeLog:
2014-04-11 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org>
* malloc/malloc.c [!MALLOC_DEBUG]: #define MALLOC_DEBUG
to zero if it is not defined elsewhere. (mtrim): Test
the value of MALLOC_DEBUG with #if rather than #ifdef.
Objections were raised surrounding the calloc simplification
and it is better to revert the patch, continue discussions
and then submit a new patch for inclusion with all issues
fully addressed.
To make future improvements of allocator simpler we could for now calloc
just call malloc and memset. With that we could omit a changes that
would duplicate malloc changes anyway.
Perform sanity check only if we have_lock. Due to lockless nature of fastbins
we need to be careful derefencing pointers to fastbin entries (chunksize(old)
in this case) in multithreaded environments.
The fix is to add have_lock to the if-condition checks. The rest of the patch
only makes code more readable.
* malloc/malloc.c (_int_free): Perform sanity check only if we
have_lock.
A very large alignment argument passed to mealign/posix_memalign
causes _int_memalign to enter an infinite loop. Limit the maximum
alignment value to the maximum representable power of two to
prevent this from happening.

A large bytes parameter to memalign could cause an integer overflow
and corrupt allocator internals. Check the overflow does not occur
before continuing with the allocation.

[BZ #15857]
* malloc/malloc.c (__libc_memalign): Check the value of bytes
does not overflow.
A large bytes parameter to valloc could cause an integer overflow
and corrupt allocator internals. Check the overflow does not occur
before continuing with the allocation.

[BZ #15856]
* malloc/malloc.c (__libc_valloc): Check the value of bytes
does not overflow.
A large bytes parameter to pvalloc could cause an integer overflow
and corrupt allocator internals. Check the overflow does not occur
before continuing with the allocation.

[BZ #15855]
* malloc/malloc.c (__libc_pvalloc): Check the value of bytes
does not overflow.
Introduce (only on Linux) and use a HAVE_MREMAP symbol to advertize mremap
availability.
Move the malloc-sysdep.h include from arena.c to malloc.c, since what is
provided by malloc-sysdep.h is needed earlier in malloc.c, before the inclusion
of arena.c.
[BZ #1349]
malloc_usable_size returns the usable size in an allocated chunk,
which may be >= the requested size. In the case of MALLOC_CHECK_ being
exported to > 0 however, only the requested size is usable, since a
magic value is written at the end of the request size to trap writes
beyond request bounds. Hence, when MALLOC_CHECK_ is exported to > 0,
malloc_usable_size() should return the request size.
