[ASAN] Pass previous stack information through __sanitizer_finish_switch_fiber
ClosedPublic

Summary

This patch extends __sanitizer_finish_switch_fiber method to optionally return previous stack base and size.

This solves the problem of coroutines/fibers library not knowing the original stack context from which the library is used. It's incorrect to assume that such context is always the default stack of current thread (e.g. one such library may be used from a fiber/coroutine created by another library). Bulding a separate stack tracking mechanism would not only duplicate AsanThread, but also require each coroutines/fibers library to integrate with it.

Seems fine to me, but I think you forgot to update the tests :)

fix the unit test

The test was actually broken in trunk (not updated for the fakestack argument). Apparently it was never run (considered unsupported) because of wrong targets here.

We need a test that passes non-NULL to these arguments and shows how to use the returned values.

#include <stddef.h> for NULL

Indeed, my bad, I forgot to compile and run the tests after the last modification I made to that patch. Sorry for that.

I didn't need to change this line to run them on my computer though, but if you know what you are doing with this line, it's ok. And it's strange indeed that no buildfarm caught this...

update unit test to use non-null values

Please add some printf calls to the test, to show that you have the correct stack+size, too.

Thanks for working on this.

Please make sure you're accounting for this. It seems the test is always passing nullptr to start_switch, which shouldn't be done unless you're finishing up a fiber execution, IIRC.

I think the usual style is: one statement => no braces.

They wouldn't catch tests not being run.
Test with LLVM_LIT_ARGS=-v (instead of -sv) on your cmake config and double-check that the tests are run.

nit: nullptr?

This only checks the first iteration of the loop. Can I do it better with FileCheck ?

Yes, you can add CHECKs for the second iteration as well.

@dvyukov: What I meant is that I didn't see a way to have some kind of loop in these CHECKs. I don't want to copy-paste these same CHECKs 30 times :)

Do CHECKs for all iterations of the loop.

LGTM

Any other comments? Or I will submit it tomorrow.
