2022-04-11malloc: Annotate allocator for valgrindSean Anderson
This annotates malloc and friends so that valgrind can track the heap. To do this, we need to follow a few rules: * Call VALGRIND_MALLOCLIKE_BLOCK whenever we malloc something * Call VALGRIND_FREELIKE_BLOCK whenever we free something (generally after we have done our bookkeeping) * Call VALGRIND_RESIZEINPLACE_BLOCK whenever we change the size of an allocation. We don't record the original request size of a block, and neither does valgrind. For this reason, we pretend that the old size of the allocation was for 0 bytes. This marks the whole allocaton as undefined, so in order to mark all bits correctly, we must make the whole new allocation defined with VALGRIND_MAKE_MEM_DEFINED. This may cause us to miss some invalid reads, but there is no way to detect these without recording the original size of the allocation. In addition to the above, dlmalloc itself tends to make a lot of accesses which we know are safe, but which would be unsafe outside of dlmalloc. For this reason, we provide a suppression file which ignores errors ocurring in dlmalloc.c Signed-off-by: Sean Anderson <seanga2@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>

2021-02-24malloc: adjust memcpy() and memset() definitions.Heinrich Schuchardt

2020-02-05sandbox: Use a prefix for all allocation functionsSimon Glass
In order to allow use of both U-Boot's malloc() and the C library's version, set a prefix for the allocation functions so that they can co-exist. This is only done for sandbox. For other archs everything remains the same. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2019-04-23malloc: Fix memalign not honoring alignment prior to full malloc initAndreas Dannenberg
When using memalign() in a scenario where U-Boot is configured for full malloc support with simple malloc not explicitly enabled and before the full malloc support is initialized, a memory block is being allocated and returned without the alignment parameter getting honored. Fix this issue by replacing the existing memalign pre-full malloc init logic with a call to memalign_simple() this way ensuring proper alignment of the returned memory block. Fixes: ee038c58d519 ("malloc: Use malloc simple before malloc is fully initialized in memalign()") Signed-off-by: Andreas Dannenberg <dannenberg@ti.com> Reviewed-by: Lokesh Vutla <lokeshvutla@ti.com>

2016-03-08malloc: use hidden visibilityStephen Warren
When running sandbox, the following phases occur, each with different malloc implementations or behaviors: 1) Dynamic linker execution, using the dynamic linker's own malloc() implementation. This is fully functional. 2) After U-Boot's malloc symbol has been hooked into the GOT, but before any U-Boot code has run. This phase is entirely non-functional, since U-Boot's gd symbol is NULL and U-Boot's initf_malloc() and mem_malloc_init() have not been called. At least on Ubuntu Xenial, the dynamic linker does make both malloc() and free() calls during this phase. Currently these free() calls crash since they dereference gd, which is NULL. U-Boot itself makes no use of malloc() during this phase. 3) U-Boot execution after gd is set and initf_malloc() has been called. This is fully functional, albeit via a very simple malloc() implementation. 4) U-Boot execution after mem_malloc_init() has been called. This is fully functional with a complete malloc() implementation. Furthermore, if code that called malloc() during phase 1 calls free() in phase 3 or later, it is likely that heap corruption will occur, since U-Boot's malloc implementation will assume the pointer is part of its own heap, although it isn't. I have not actively observed this happening. To prevent phase 2 from happening, this patch makes all of U-Boot's malloc library public symbols have hidden visibility. This prevents them from being hooked into the GOT, so only code in the U-Boot binary itself actually calls them; any other code will call into the standard C library malloc(). This also avoids the "furthermore" issue mentioned above. I have seen references to this GCC pragma in blog posts from 2008, and RHEL5's ancient gcc appears to accept it fine, so I believe it's quite safe to use it without checking gcc version.

2015-10-20malloc_simple: Add Kconfig option for using only malloc_simple in the SPLHans de Goede
common/dlmalloc.c is quite big, both in .text and .data usage, therefor on some boards the SPL is build to use only malloc_simple.c and not the dlmalloc.c code. This is done in various include/configs/foo.h with the following construct: #ifdef CONFIG_SPL_BUILD #define CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE #endif This commit introduces a SPL_MALLOC_SIMPLE Kconfig bool which allows selecting this functionality through Kconfig instead.

2014-11-21dm: Split the simple malloc() implementation into its own fileSimon Glass
The simple malloc() implementation is used when memory is tight. It provides a simple buffer with an incrementing pointer. At present the implementation is inside dlmalloc. Move it into its own file so that it is easier to find. Rather than using relocation as a signal that the full malloc() is available, add a special GD_FLG_FULL_MALLOC_INIT flag. This signals that the simple malloc() should no longer be used. In some cases, such as SPL, even the code space used by the full malloc() is wasteful. Add a CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE option to provide only the simple malloc. In this case the full malloc is not available at all. It saves about 1KB of code space and about 0.5KB of data on Thumb 2.

2013-04-01Consolidate bool typeYork Sun
'bool' is defined in random places. This patch consolidates them into a single header file include/linux/types.h, using stdbool.h introduced in C99. All other #define, typedef and enum are removed. They are all consistent with true = 1, false = 0. Replace FALSE, False with false. Replace TRUE, True with true. Skip *.py, *.php, lib/* files. Signed-off-by: York Sun <yorksun@freescale.com>
2013-02-19malloc: make malloc_bin_reloc staticGabor Juhos
On architectures where manual relocation is needed, the 'malloc_bin_reloc' function must be called after 'mem_malloc_init'. Make the 'malloc_bin_reloc' function static and call it directly from 'mem_malloc_init' instead of calling that from board_init_{r,f} functions of the affected architectures.

2011-09-10Add assert() for debug assertionsSimon Glass
assert() is like BUG_ON() but compiles to nothing unless DEBUG is defined. This is useful when a condition is an error but a board reset is unlikely to fix it, so it is better to soldier on in hope. Assertion failures should be caught during development/test. It turns out that assert() is defined separately in a few places in U-Boot with various meanings. This patch cleans up some of these. Build errors exposed by this change (and defining DEBUG) are also fixed in this patch. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
