Another problem, does there some way will initialize the shadow?
I only find the object has been initialized.
kmemcheck_slab_alloc()
...
/*
* Has already been memset(), which initializes the shadow for us
* as well.
*/
if (gfpflags & __GFP_ZERO)
return; ----> add kmemcheck_mark_initialized() ?
...
slab:
slab_alloc()
...
if (likely(objp))
kmemcheck_slab_alloc(cachep, flags, objp, cachep->object_size);
if (unlikely((flags & __GFP_ZERO) && objp))
memset(objp, 0, cachep->object_size);
return objp;
slub:
slab_alloc_node()
...
if (unlikely(gfpflags & __GFP_ZERO) && object)
memset(object, 0, s->object_size);
slab_post_alloc_hook(s, gfpflags, object);
return object;
The shadow memory which used for slab/slub is called from kmemcheck_alloc_shadow(),
and it will initialized *only* in kmemcheck_slab_alloc(), right?
If you enable kmemcheck at run-time, there is no way to know what
already-allocated objects have been initialised or not, so we assume
that they have been. In that case, there is also very little point in
allocating shadow memory for them, since it will all be marked as
"initialised" anyway (one exception is if we later memcpy()
uninitialised memory into them, but that seems like it would be a pretty
rare occurrence).
The use case for toggling kmemcheck at run-time is to check a particular
piece of code (enable it, run a program/system call/insert a
module/whatever, disable it -- this will basically check memory
allocated while kmemcheck is enabled, but not memory allocated before or
after).
So to answer your original question, yes, toggling kmemcheck at run-time
is supported, but there is an increased chance of false negatives (we
don't spot a problem where there is one). About false positives (we spot
a problem where there isn't one), I don't think runtime toggling should
make a difference.
