[Sanitizer] Protect UnwindFast with IsValidFrame on MIPS
Needs RevisionPublic

Authored by yln on Mar 5 2019, 11:24 AM.

Details

Summary

I think we changed what we protect with IsValidFrame over the course of
our refactorings. Take a look at the code before we started:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/2946cd701067404b99c39fb29dc9c74bd7193eb3/compiler-rt/lib/asan/asan_stack.h

Note that the code path that can potentially result in a fast unwind is
protected by IsValidFrame (for MIPS). This makes sense, since fast
unwind requires the frame info (bp, stack_top, stack_bottom) to work.
The current code only protects the slow unwind.

Previously It protected both.
However original commit for this check mentions that MIPS use only Slow and it lacks IsValid check.

Just to make sure I understand:
MIPS only uses slow unwinder, which doesn't work when !IsValidFrame, despite it not explicitly taking (bp, top, bottom) as inputs?

To me, that is extremely confusing.

Should we try to make MIPS slow unwinder work (as in: return early without error) for !IsValidFrame? Instead of working around the symptom here?

Correct.
It would be nice if you have time for this.
