The starting point for all these is -valgrind-20020214; patches applied to it before that snapshot was -released are not recorded anywhere. - - ------------------------------- 14 Feb 02 ------------------------------ - -Michael Matz : - this fixes the leak (32bytes/demangled symbol)in cplus-dem.c. It also - again localizes the changes to libiberty's cp-demangle.c at the top with - some #defines. (It also has some unrelated changes like header guarding - and making symbol sets disjoint, these are minor and were needed for the - demangle_test program, and are local to the demangler) - - JRS: applied it, but it still seems to leak, running a g++2.96 compiled - program, at least (/usr/bin/kedit as installed with RH72). - (reenable VG_(show_all_arena_stats)() at vg_demangle.c:63 to see this) - - -Michael Matz - here the patch for changing order of restorage of %esp to not trash - simulees stack - - -Simon Hausmann - I attached a patch for the latest vg snapshot to implement better - support for shmat. Vg now correct marks the region returned by shmat - as read or read-writable (we have to do that blindly as there is no - way to figure out if another process initialized the data or not) . - Also the patch adds a paranoia check for the buffer passed with - shmctl. What's left todo is to make shmdt correctly mark the shm - segment as invalid again, but I see no easy way to figure out the - shm segment size just from the base address. Anyone? :) - Otherwise it'll probably require keeping a copy of the allocated - mappings inside vg -- shouldn't be expensive though. - [...] - Oops, my previous shm patch contained a little bug in that it called - must_be_readable/writable for shmctl even when the address was 0 - (which for example is the case when using IPC_RMID to remove a - shared memory segment, which is perfectly valid) . Attached the - updated patch that makes valgrinding Qt/Embedded apps possible :) - - -me: - Check for accessibility changes for first and last 64k of address - space after every system call, so as to catch syscall wrapper - bugs as soon as they happen - - -Simon Hausmann - The socketpair handler checks that the two fds passed must be - readable, but I think the check should use must_be_writable instead - as the kernel does not read those values but fills them in. - - -Simon Hausmann - Here's a patch that implements checking of arguments for - sendmsg/recvmsg, as part of the socket syscall. - [...] - Oops, I just realized that the recvmsg wrapper should mark the - fields of the received message as readable, as the kernel hopefully - initialized them :) - [...] - Corrected patch attached. - - -Nick Nethercote - [Implemented pushaw/pushal/popaw/popal] - - They're kind of ugly due to the special treatment of %esp, but there - didn't seem to be any elegant way around it. You may object to my - heinous magic number use with the registers. - - It seems to work ok, but I'd check it carefully if I were you. In - particular, I've only tried it with POPAD. (I think; gcc only accepts - 'popa' in assembler files, and according to the Intel docs will probably - choose between POPA and POPAD by looking at the D flag of the current - code segment's descriptor.

The old c++ demangler is - really crappy code, therefor it took longer to find the leaks. ;) - - -Simon Hausmann - Here are two micro patches for vg :) - - The first one fixes what I think is a bug: I think the result param - of llseek before the actual syscall should be checked for - writability instead of readability. - - The second one is a quick workaround for an assertion in the - demangler that I hit quite sometimes (I'm surprised noone else has - hit it before, maybe it's gcc3 specific though :) . I'm too lazy to - write a full strtol replacement for now ;) , so just returning an - error will keep the program running and output the mangled symbol - instead. - - ------------------------------- 17 Feb 02 ------------------------------ - -me: - Implement cleverer semantics for 4-byte integer loads from partially - valid addresses, following complains from Coolo re spurious warnings - from gcc-inlined strlen()s. As part of this, hardwire the default - behaviour of --bad-addr-value and get rid of this flag entirely. - New flag --partial-loads-ok=no|yes [default yes] controls use of - new semantics. Also as a result, stop recommending people use - --sloppy-malloc=yes by default. - -me: - Options are now read from env var VALGRIND_OPTS. - Also remove need to edit hardware install dir in shell script. - - -Michael Matz -Simon Hausmann - this fixes some leaks in the v3 demangler found by Simon (Julian: i.e. - those we couldn't possibly run into, as we use v2 demangling). - - ------------------------------- 18 Feb 02 ------------------------------ - -me: - Tighten up the conditions for which --partial-loads-ok=yes is allowed - -me: - Error management: slow down collecting errors after the 50th - and stop altogether after the 500th - -me: - Implement --workaround-gcc296-bugs, so RH 7.X and Mandrake users - can use their default compilers. - - ------------------------------- 20 Feb 02 ------------------------------ - -me: - Massive overhaul of the signal machinery so that signals can be - delivered to the client even when it is blocked in a system call. - This fixes the kmail-deadlocks-on-valgrind problem. - ------------------------------- 21 Feb 02 ------------------------------ - -me: - Implement GDB attachment to the program. - -Stephan Kulow - Implement a few more syscall wrappers - ------------------------------- 24 Feb 02 ------------------------------ - -me: - Cleanup of the signal machinery.
