Add M_ZERO awareness to malloc() static analysis in Clang for FreeBSD,
NetBSD, and OpenBSD in a similar fashion to O_CREAT for open(2).
These systems have a three-argument malloc() in the kernel where the
third argument contains flags; the M_ZERO flag will zero-initialize the
allocated buffer.
This should reduce the number of false positives when running static
analysis on BSD kernels.
Additionally, add kmalloc() (Linux kernel malloc()) and treat __GFP_ZERO
like M_ZERO on Linux.
Future work involves a better method of checking for named flags without
hardcoding values.
Patch by Conrad Meyer, with minor modifications by me.

This implements FIXME from Checker.cpp (FIXME: We want to return the package + name of the checker here.) and replaces hardcoded checker names with the new ones obtained via getCheckName().getName().
llvm-svn: 201525
Summary:
In clang-tidy we'd like to know the name of the checker producing each
diagnostic message. PathDiagnostic has BugType and Category fields, which are
both arbitrary human-readable strings, but we need to know the exact name of the
checker in the form that can be used in the CheckersControlList option to
enable/disable the specific checker.
This patch adds the CheckName field to the CheckerBase class, and sets it in
the CheckerManager::registerChecker() method, which gets them from the
CheckerRegistry.
Checkers that implement multiple checks have to store the names of each check
in the respective registerXXXChecker method.

Per discussion with Anna a /long/ time ago, it was way too easy to misuse
BlockCall: because it inherited from AnyFunctionCall (through SimpleCall),
getDecl() was constrained to return a FunctionDecl, and you had to call
getBlockDecl() instead. This goes against the whole point of CallEvent
(to abstract over different ways to invoke bodies of code).
Now, BlockCall just inherits directly from CallEvent. There's a bit of
duplication in getting things out of the origin expression (which is still
known to be a CallExpr), but nothing significant.

...rather somewhere in the destructor when we try to access something and
realize the object has already been deleted. This is necessary because
the destructor is processed before the 'delete' itself.

...even though the argument is declared "const void *", because this is
just a way to pass pointers around as objects. (Though NSData is often
a better one.)

This has the dual effect of (1) enabling more dead-stripping in release builds
and (2) ensuring that debug helper functions aren't stripped away in debug
builds, as they're intended to be called from the debugger.
Note that the attribute is applied to definitions rather than declarations in
headers going forward because it's now conditional on NDEBUG:
/// \brief Mark debug helper function definitions like dump() that should not be
/// stripped from debug builds.
Requires corresponding macro added in LLVM r198456.

look at the attribute spelling instead. The 'ownership_*' attributes should
probably be split into separate *Attr classes, but that's more than I wanted to
do here.

Now that the CFG includes nodes for the destructors in a delete-expression,
process them in the analyzer using the same common destructor interface
currently used for local, member, and base destructors. Also, check for when
the value is known to be null, in which case no destructor is actually run.
This does not yet handle destructors for deleted /arrays/, which may need
more CFG work. It also causes a slight regression in the location of
double delete warnings; the double delete is detected at the destructor
call, which is implicit, and so is reported on the first access within the
destructor instead of at the 'delete' statement. This will be fixed soon.

When a region is realloc()ed, MallocChecker records whether it was known
to be allocated or not. If it is, and the reallocation fails, the original
region has to be freed. Previously, when an allocated region escaped,
MallocChecker completely stopped tracking it, so a failed reallocation
still (correctly) wouldn't require freeing the original region. Recently,
however, MallocChecker started tracking escaped symbols, so that if it were
freed we could check that the deallocator matched the allocator. This
broke the reallocation model for whether or not a symbol was allocated.
Now, MallocChecker will actually check if a symbol is owned, and only
require freeing after a failed reallocation if it was owned before.

Jordan has pointed out that it is valuable to warn in cases when the arguments to init escape.
For example, NSData initWithBytes id not going to free the memory.
llvm-svn: 183062
Consider this example:
char *p = malloc(sizeof(char));
systemFunction(&p);
free(p);
In this case, when we call systemFunction, we know (because it's a system
function) that it won't free 'p'. However, we /don't/ know whether or not
it will /change/ 'p', so the analyzer is forced to invalidate 'p', wiping
out any bindings it contains. But now the malloc'd region looks like a
leak, since there are no more bindings pointing to it, and we'll get a
spurious leak warning.
The fix for this is to notice when something is becoming inaccessible due
to invalidation (i.e. an imperfect model, as opposed to being explicitly
overwritten) and stop tracking it at that point. Currently, the best way
to determine this for a call is the "indirect escape" pointer-escape kind.
In practice, all the patch does is take the "system functions don't free
memory" special case and limit it to direct parameters, i.e. just the
arguments to a call and not other regions accessible to them. This is a
conservative change that should only cause us to escape regions more
eagerly, which means fewer leak warnings.
This isn't perfect for several reasons, the main one being that this
example is treated the same as the one above:
char **p = malloc(sizeof(char *));
systemFunction(p + 1);
// leak
Currently, "addresses accessible by offsets of the starting region" and
"addresses accessible through bindings of the starting region" are both
considered "indirect" regions, hence this uniform treatment.
Another issue is our longstanding problem of not distinguishing const and
non-const bindings; if in the first example systemFunction's parameter were
a char * const *, we should know that the function will not overwrite 'p',
and thus we can safely report the leak.

Test that the path notes do not change. I don’t think we should print a note on escape.
Also, I’ve removed a check that assumed that the family stored in the RefStete could be
AF_None and added an assert in the constructor.

This splits the leak-checking part of alpha.cplusplus.NewDelete into a
separate user-level checker, alpha.cplusplus.NewDeleteLeaks. All the
difficult false positives we've seen with the new/delete checker have been
spurious leak warnings; the use-after-free warnings and mismatched
deallocator warnings, while rare, have always been valid.

The statement passed to isTrackedFamily() might be a user defined function calling malloc; in this case we got AF_NONE family for this function.
Now the allocation family is derived from Sym, that holds a family of a real allocator.
This commit is also a movement towards getting rid of tracking memory allocating by unknown means.
llvm-svn: 178834
This fixes an issue pointed to by Jordan: if unix.Malloc and unix.MismatchedDeallocator are both on, then we end up still tracking leaks of memory allocated by new.
Moved the guards right before emitting the bug reports to unify and simplify the logic of handling of multiple checkers. Now all the checkers perform their checks regardless of if they were enabled, or not, and it is decided just before the emitting of the report, if it should be emitted. (idea from Anna).
Additional changes:
improved test coverage for checker correlations;
refactoring: BadDealloc -> MismatchedDealloc
llvm-svn: 178814
Add a new callback that notifies checkers when a const pointer escapes. Currently, this only works
for const pointers passed as a top level parameter into a function. We need to differentiate the const
pointers escape from regular escape since the content pointed by const pointer will not change;
if it’s a file handle, a file cannot be closed; but delete is allowed on const pointers.
This should suppress several false positives reported by the NewDelete checker on llvm codebase.
