UBSan wants to detect when unreachable code is actually reached, so it
adds instrumentation before every unreachable instruction. However, the
optimizer will remove code after calls to functions marked with
noreturn. To avoid this UBSan removes noreturn from both the call
instruction as well as from the function itself. Unfortunately, ASan
relies on this annotation to unpoison the stack by inserting calls to
_asan_handle_no_return before noreturn functions. This is important for
functions that do not return but access the the stack memory, e.g.,
unwinder functions *like* longjmp (longjmp itself is actually
"double-proofed" via its interceptor). The result is that when ASan and
UBSan are combined, the noreturn attributes are missing and ASan cannot
unpoison the stack, so it has false positives when stack unwinding is
used.
Changes:
Clang-CodeGen now directly insert calls to __asan_handle_no_return
when a call to a noreturn function is encountered and both
UBsan-unreachable and ASan are enabled. This allows UBSan to continue
removing the noreturn attribute from functions without any changes to
the ASan pass.
Previously generated code:
call void @longjmp call void @__asan_handle_no_return call void @__ubsan_handle_builtin_unreachable
Generated code (for now):
call void @__asan_handle_no_return call void @longjmp call void @__asan_handle_no_return call void @__ubsan_handle_builtin_unreachable
