<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id1">Introduction</a><a class="headerlink" href="#introduction" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>GWP-ASan is a sampled allocator framework that assists in finding use-after-free
and heap-buffer-overflow bugs in production environments. It informally is a
recursive acronym, “<strong>G</strong>WP-ASan <strong>W</strong>ill <strong>P</strong>rovide <strong>A</strong>llocation
<strong>SAN</strong>ity”.</p>
<p>GWP-ASan is based on the classic
<a class="reference external" href="https://linux.die.net/man/3/efence">Electric Fence Malloc Debugger</a>, with a
key adaptation. Notably, we only choose a very small percentage of allocations
to sample, and apply guard pages to these sampled allocations only. The sampling
is small enough to allow us to have very low performance overhead.</p>
<p>There is a small, tunable memory overhead that is fixed for the lifetime of the
process. This is approximately ~40KiB per process using the default settings,
depending on the average size of your allocations.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="gwp-asan-vs-asan">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id2">GWP-ASan vs. ASan</a><a class="headerlink" href="#gwp-asan-vs-asan" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Unlike <a class="reference external" href="https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AddressSanitizer.html">AddressSanitizer</a>,
GWP-ASan does not induce a significant performance overhead. ASan often requires
the use of dedicated canaries to be viable in production environments, and as
such is often impractical.</p>
<p>GWP-ASan is only capable of finding a subset of the memory issues detected by
ASan. Furthermore, GWP-ASan’s bug detection capabilities are only probabilistic.
As such, we recommend using ASan over GWP-ASan in testing, as well as anywhere
else that guaranteed error detection is more valuable than the 2x execution
slowdown/binary size bloat. For the majority of production environments, this
impact is too high, and GWP-ASan proves extremely useful.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="design">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id3">Design</a><a class="headerlink" href="#design" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p><strong>Please note:</strong> The implementation of GWP-ASan is largely in-flux, and these
details are subject to change. There are currently other implementations of
GWP-ASan, such as the implementation featured in
<a class="reference external" href="https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/components/gwp_asan/">Chromium</a>. The
long-term support goal is to ensure feature-parity where reasonable, and to
support compiler-rt as the reference implementation.</p>
<div class="section" id="allocator-support">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id4">Allocator Support</a><a class="headerlink" href="#allocator-support" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>GWP-ASan is not a replacement for a traditional allocator. Instead, it works by
inserting stubs into a supporting allocator to redirect allocations to GWP-ASan
when they’re chosen to be sampled. These stubs are generally implemented in the
implementation of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">malloc()</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">free()</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">realloc()</span></code>. The stubs are
extremely small, which makes using GWP-ASan in most allocators fairly trivial.
The stubs follow the same general pattern (example <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">malloc()</span></code> pseudocode
below):</p>
<div class="highlight-cpp notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="cp">#ifdef INSTALL_GWP_ASAN_STUBS</span>
  <span class="n">gwp_asan</span><span class="o">::</span><span class="n">GuardedPoolAllocator</span> <span class="n">GWPASanAllocator</span><span class="p">;</span>
<span class="cp">#endif</span>

<span class="kt">void</span><span class="o">*</span> <span class="n">YourAllocator</span><span class="o">::</span><span class="n">malloc</span><span class="p">(..)</span> <span class="p">{</span>
<span class="cp">#ifdef INSTALL_GWP_ASAN_STUBS</span>
  <span class="k">if</span> <span class="p">(</span><span class="n">GWPASanAllocator</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="n">shouldSample</span><span class="p">(..))</span>
    <span class="k">return</span> <span class="n">GWPASanAllocator</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="n">allocate</span><span class="p">(..);</span>
<span class="cp">#endif</span>

  <span class="c1">// ... the rest of your allocator code here.</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Then, all the supporting allocator needs to do is compile with
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-DINSTALL_GWP_ASAN_STUBS</span></code> and link against the GWP-ASan library! For
performance reasons, we strongly recommend static linkage of the GWP-ASan
library.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="guarded-allocation-pool">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id5">Guarded Allocation Pool</a><a class="headerlink" href="#guarded-allocation-pool" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>The core of GWP-ASan is the guarded allocation pool. Each sampled allocation is
backed using its own <em>guarded</em> slot, which may consist of one or more accessible
pages. Each guarded slot is surrounded by two <em>guard</em> pages, which are mapped as
inaccessible. The collection of all guarded slots makes up the <em>guarded
allocation pool</em>.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="buffer-underflow-overflow-detection">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id6">Buffer Underflow/Overflow Detection</a><a class="headerlink" href="#buffer-underflow-overflow-detection" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>We gain buffer-overflow and buffer-underflow detection through these guard
pages. When a memory access overruns the allocated buffer, it will touch the
inaccessible guard page, causing memory exception. This exception is caught and
handled by the internal crash handler. Because each allocation is recorded with
metadata about where (and by what thread) it was allocated and deallocated, we
can provide information that will help identify the root cause of the bug.</p>
<p>Allocations are randomly selected to be either left- or right-aligned to provide
equal detection of both underflows and overflows.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="use-after-free-detection">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id7">Use after Free Detection</a><a class="headerlink" href="#use-after-free-detection" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>The guarded allocation pool also provides use-after-free detection. Whenever a
sampled allocation is deallocated, we map its guarded slot as inaccessible. Any
memory accesses after deallocation will thus trigger the crash handler, and we
can provide useful information about the source of the error.</p>
<p>Please note that the use-after-free detection for a sampled allocation is
transient. To keep memory overhead fixed while still detecting bugs, deallocated
slots are randomly reused to guard future allocations.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="usage">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id8">Usage</a><a class="headerlink" href="#usage" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>GWP-ASan already ships by default in the
<a class="reference external" href="https://llvm.org/docs/ScudoHardenedAllocator.html">Scudo Hardened Allocator</a>,
so building with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-fsanitize=scudo</span></code> is the quickest and easiest way to try out
GWP-ASan.</p>
<div class="section" id="options">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id9">Options</a><a class="headerlink" href="#options" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>GWP-ASan’s configuration is managed by the supporting allocator. We provide a
generic configuration management library that is used by Scudo. It allows
several aspects of GWP-ASan to be configured through the following methods:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>When the GWP-ASan library is compiled, by setting
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-DGWP_ASAN_DEFAULT_OPTIONS</span></code> to the options string you want set by default.
If you’re building GWP-ASan as part of a compiler-rt/LLVM build, add it during
cmake configure time (e.g. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cmake</span> <span class="pre">...</span> <span class="pre">-DGWP_ASAN_DEFAULT_OPTIONS=&quot;...&quot;</span></code>). If
you’re building GWP-ASan outside of compiler-rt, simply ensure that you
specify <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-DGWP_ASAN_DEFAULT_OPTIONS=&quot;...&quot;</span></code> when building
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">optional/options_parser.cpp</span></code>).</p></li>
<li><p>By defining a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">__gwp_asan_default_options</span></code> function in one’s program that
returns the options string to be parsed. Said function must have the following
prototype: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">extern</span> <span class="pre">&quot;C&quot;</span> <span class="pre">const</span> <span class="pre">char*</span> <span class="pre">__gwp_asan_default_options(void)</span></code>, with a
default visibility. This will override the compile time define;</p></li>
<li><p>Depending on allocator support (Scudo has support for this mechanism): Through
the environment variable <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">GWP_ASAN_OPTIONS</span></code>, containing the options string
to be parsed. Options defined this way will override any definition made
through <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">__gwp_asan_default_options</span></code>.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>The options string follows a syntax similar to ASan, where distinct options
can be assigned in the same string, separated by colons.</p>
<p>For example, using the environment variable:</p>
<div class="highlight-console notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="go">GWP_ASAN_OPTIONS=&quot;MaxSimultaneousAllocations=16:SampleRate=5000&quot; ./a.out</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Or using the function:</p>
<div class="highlight-cpp notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">extern</span> <span class="s">&quot;C&quot;</span> <span class="k">const</span> <span class="kt">char</span> <span class="o">*</span><span class="n">__gwp_asan_default_options</span><span class="p">()</span> <span class="p">{</span>
  <span class="k">return</span> <span class="s">&quot;MaxSimultaneousAllocations=16:SampleRate=5000&quot;</span><span class="p">;</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The following options are available:</p>
<table class="docutils align-default">
<colgroup>
<col style="width: 24%" />
<col style="width: 8%" />
<col style="width: 68%" />

page boundary? By default (false), we round up allocation size to the nearest
power of two (2, 4, 8, 16) up to a maximum of 16-byte alignment for
performance reasons. Setting this to true can find single byte
buffer-overflows at the cost of performance, and may be incompatible with
some architectures.</p></td>

<td><p>Install GWP-ASan signal handlers for SIGSEGV during dynamic loading. This
allows better error reports by providing stack traces for allocation and
deallocation when reporting a memory error. GWP-ASan’s signal handler will
forward the signal to any previously-installed handler, and user programs
that install further signal handlers should make sure they do the same. Note,
if the previously installed SIGSEGV handler is SIG_IGN, we terminate the
process after dumping the error report.</p></td>

<p>To symbolize these stack traces, some care has to be taken. Scudo currently uses
GNU’s <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">backtrace_symbols()</span></code> from <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&lt;execinfo.h&gt;</span></code> to unwind. The unwinder
provides human-readable stack traces in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">function+offset</span></code> form, rather than
the normal <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">binary+offset</span></code> form. In order to use addr2line or similar tools to
recover the exact line number, we must convert the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">function+offset</span></code> to
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">binary+offset</span></code>. A helper script is available at
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">compiler-rt/lib/gwp_asan/scripts/symbolize.sh</span></code>. Using this script will
attempt to symbolize each possible line, falling back to the previous output if
anything fails. This results in the following output:</p>
