Fix qsort() interceptor for FreeBSD
ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

When the FreeBSD qsort() implementation recurses, it does so using an
interposable function call, so we end up calling the interceptor again
and set the saved comparator to wrapped_qsort_compar. This results in an
infinite loop and a eventually a stack overflow since wrapped_qsort_compar
ends up calling itself. This means that ASAN is completely broken on
FreeBSD for programs that call qsort(). I found this while running
check-all on a FreeBSD system a ASAN-instrumented LLVM.

Fix this by checking whether we are recursing inside qsort before writing
to qsort_compar. The same bug exists in the qsort_r interceptor, so use the
same approach there. I did not test the latter since the qsort_r function
signature does not match and therefore it's not intercepted on FreeBSD/macOS.

I think we'd still want to save/restore the size argument, in the likely case when the recursive call is passed a different value.

The size argument is the size of the elements which should not change in recursive calls. I could add an assertion/warning?

CHECK_EQ would be nice

Yes, I misunderstood the code.
LGTM with the check.

I think compar != qsort_compar here as compar == wrapped_sort_compar in this situation.

  • Fix inverted condition
  • Make arrays in the test case large enough to actually trigger the recursive case
