the stack size attr after setting it.

I'm a little concerned about changing this, I have a feeling 64K was taken from a real user of ASan that runs with 64K stacks. Can you elaborate on the issue you're seeing? Is it a stack overflow or something else?
Comment Actions
There's a more detailed explanation in D29994, but essentially, some debugging found that 64k isn't actually being used for the stack size consistently, and the test never passes when 64k is actually used. (actual stack size used determined with pthread_attr_getstacksize)
Comment Actions
I noticed that all sanitizers other than ASan intercept pthread_create and call AdjustStackSize, but this test doesn't seem to relate to that. The stack limit was added in rL189457, which is from 2013. The comments don't suggest that there was any great reason to choose 64K. Go ahead and raise it, then.

Reverted because this fails on aarch64. I don't have access to an aarch64 linux device, so I'm not sure the best way to debug.

My theory is that the 64k size is so low that some platforms ignore the pthread_attr_setstacksize call. Now that we changed it to 128k, it actually triggers a problem where the ASan reporting facilities overflow the stack. Although it seems weird that ASan's error reporting would require 64k of stack...

Sorry for the delay, I've been going through a job change. Looks like the link is now dead: http://lab.llvm.org:8011/builders/clang-cmake-aarch64-42vma/builds/5218
The only error messages in that link were the ones I pasted though, plus an ASAN:DEADLYSIGNAL.
Just to test, I could make the stack even bigger, but it's tough to play around with this without having access to an aarch64 machine (I have an android one, but not a linux one).
Comment Actions
I was able to run this on a linux aarch64 emulator, but I'm not able to reproduce the failure. I do still see the stack size flakiness (with observed stack size larger than it's set to be when the test passes) popping up. Wondering if it's worth disabling the particular test case that uses the small stack size, since it seems to be passing primarily due to this undefined behavior anyway.
Comment Actions
My assumption is that a repro of the failure will also require D29994, as that's the patch that seems to affect the flakiness.
Comment Actions
I committed r298193, which checks the return value of pthread_attr_setstacksize and verifies that pthread_attr_getstacksize actually returns the correct size. Let's see if that triggers any failures.
Comment Actions
r298195 changes the test to respect PTHREAD_STACK_MIN. On AArch64, this value is much larger than elsewhere, probably due to 64k page sizes (and PTHREAD_STACK_MIN needs to be at least 2 pages).

Looks like there are no failures this time. Can you try landing https://reviews.llvm.org/D29994 now?
