Suppression file for ThreadSanitizer does not work: What is wrong? - c++

Clang has the -fsanitize-blacklist compile switch to suppress warnings from the ThreadSanitizer. Unfortunately, I cannot get it to work.
Here is an example that I want to suppress:

SUMMARY: ThreadSanitizer: data race /usr/include/tbb/partitioner.h:305 tbb::interface6::internal::auto_partition_type_base<tbb::interface6::internal::auto_partition_type>::check_being_stolen(tbb::task&)
My tries for the suppression file so far (but it does not work):
# TBB
fun:tbb::*
src:/usr/include/tbb/partitioner.h
Do you know why it does not work?
(By the way, I would be happy to suppress all warnings from the TBB library.)

Finally, I got it working.
According to the documentation, each line must start with a valid "suppression_type" (race, thread, mutex, signal, deadlock, or called_from_lib).
In my example, the correct suppression_type is race.
Here is an example file called "sanitizer-thread-suppressions.txt", which suppresses two functions, which are known to contain data races:
race:Function1
race:MyNamespace::Function2
To test the suppress file, set the TSAN_OPTIONS environment variable and call the application (compiled with -fsanitize=thread):
$ TSAN_OPTIONS="suppressions=sanitizer-thread-suppressions.txt" ./myapp
If that works, you can apply the settings at compile time:
-fsanitize=thread -fsanitize-blacklist=sanitizer-thread-suppressions.txt

tbb's private_server and false positive ThreadSanitizer data races

We are getting false positive ThreadSanitizer (tsan) data race warnings on a frequent but inconsistent basis. Though it is well-known that tsan can give false positive warnings, some of which may be suppressed via the TSAN_OPTIONS environment variable, there is a particular class of warnings that we are encountering that appear specifically related to Intel's Thread Building Block's (tbb) use of tbb::detail::r1::rml::private_server that appears preventable if we could somehow have more control over the stopping of this private_server for instance. Here is one such false positive tsan data race warning encountered during a Google Test run:

(Some names have been altered for anonymity.)
Summary of events in chronological order:
Google test Foo.GetStringViews is run (Thread T18 frame #5)
During this test, an instance ta of tbb::task_arena calls ta.execute([&] { tbb::parallel_for(...); });.
This appears to run tbb::detail::r1::rml::private_server::wake_some(int) which spawns a thread that survives in between Google tests.
Google test FooProxy.BuildTranslationMapToPartialOverlapProxy is run (main thread frame #2)
This test writes to address 0x7ffda4d64fd8 that was read by the previous test.
Our TSAN_OPTIONS environment variable is set to
suppressions=/path/to/tsan.suppressions, history_size=7, second_deadlock_stack=1, halt_on_error=1
We surmise that the false positive data race warning is due to 3 primary ingredients:
Two independent tests are run synchronously one after the other in which no data race is possible, but happen to read/write or write/write to/from the same memory address.
One of the thread's stack exceeds the maximum history_size=7 and reports [failed to restore the stack].
The first thread spawns a tbb::detail::r1::rml::private_server that survives through to the second test.
It is because the tbb::detail::r1::rml::private_server from the first test remains concurrent with the second test that confuses tsan to flag this as a data race.
Question(s)
How can the tbb::detail::r1::rml::private_server thread be killed at the beginning or end of each test?
Alternatively, if that's not possible, is there something that we can add to our tsan.suppressions file or TSAN_OPTIONS environment variable that specifically suppresses this false warning without hiding real data races that may occur?
To kill the tbb::detail::r1::rml::private_server after each Google Test, we overrode the Test Fixture TearDown() method:
void TearDown() override {
// Expected to kill tbb::detail::r1::rml::private_server after each test,
// which can otherwise trigger false positive tsan data race warnings.
auto handle = tbb::task_scheduler_handle::get();
tbb::finalize(handle, std::nothrow_t{});
}
In our version of TBB we also had to #define TBB_PREVIEW_WAITING_FOR_WORKERS and #include <tbb/global_control.h>.

You can replace the Mach semaphore with a dispatch semaphore to suppress the warnings.
Refer to the below link:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/dispatch/dispatch_semaphore
You can also create a suppression file to specify the suppressions runtime flag
https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/ThreadSanitizerSuppressions
If this helps, you can apply the settings at compile time:
-fsanitize=thread -fsanitize-blacklist=sanitizer-thread-suppressions.txt

SIGSEGV simple gloox client

I've been trying to use gloox 1.0.14 for the first time and I think I'm using the most minimal example there is but poorly I get a SIGSEGV. Can anyone reproduce this problem or tell me why this happens and what I'm doing wrong? It's seems to be that the JID has an impact on this but I'd expect it to throw an error instead of segv crashing and the JID seems valid to me and even if the certificate is incorrect or whatever I'd still expect it to throw instead.
#include <cstdlib>
#include "gloox/client.h"
int main() {
gloox::JID jid("segv#jabber.de");
gloox::Client client(jid, "password");
client.connect();
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
Sanitizer told me:

T2 is called from a static library i am using.
I also read ctime_r is not thread-safe.
How can i avoid deadlock on such case ?

Gcc thread sanitizer false positive only for debug info flag

I am having a problem with Gcc's thread sanitizer that I cannot find on their bugzilla or on stackoverflow so I am unsure if I am missing something or if this really is a bug. If I create a main.cpp file containing:
#include <thread>
int main(){
std::thread t([](){});
t.join();
return 0;}
Now if I compile it using:
g++-4.9.2 -std=c++1y -fsanitize=thread -fPIE -pie -o TestProgram main.cpp
Running the resulting executable does not yield any problem. Yet if I add the debug info flag:
g++-4.9.2 -std=c++1y -fsanitize=thread -g -fPIE -pie -o TestProgram main.cpp
then the thread sanitizer detects a data race:

SUMMARY: ThreadSanitizer: data race /usr/local/include/c++/4.9.2/ext/new_allocator.h:110 deallocate
==================
ThreadSanitizer: reported 1 warnings
Now the exact same code compiled with clang++ (version 3.6.0 (trunk 221144)) does not detect a data race:
clang++ -std=c++1y -fsanitize=thread -g -fPIE -pie -o TestProgram main.cpp
I am a bit quizzical about this behavior from gcc as:
1) passing an empty lambda function as an argument to a thread seems licit to me
2) gcc's behavior depends on the -g flag which doesn't strike me as having much to do with the thread sanitizer
3) under similar circumstances clang adopts a behavior that I would consider correct
Many thanks,
You mean this bug? It was reported for 4.8, but a similar report exists for 4.9.2.

what is causing this seq fault in Qt QGuiApplicationPrivate::processNativeEvent()

I have a simple Qt program that is reading from shared memory in a separate thread. I call a routine that waits until there is data in the shared memory segment, it unblocks and returns and then I emits a signal to the main GUI thread. The main GUI thread slot is received and in that routine I just print to std::cout that it was received then it returns--no further data processing. This program runs find for about 30 seconds then seq faults.
Running the program under gdb catches the seq fault and a back trace shows that the fault is deep in the event processing of Qt. None of my own code is involved in this seq fault. I am totally lost as to what the problem is.
Here is the gdb output. In the following gdb output, the readSM() routine is the one that blocks until there is data available to read from shared memory, and the readDataBuffer() is the slot from the main GUI thread that just returns without any further processing. There are tons of the std::cout lines for the signal and slot before the seg fault.
...many of the following 2 lines before the fault...
DataReader::readSM(): calling m_pSharedMemory->ReadWait()
readDataBuffer(): entered, returning
DataReader::readSM(): calling m_pSharedMemory->ReadWait()
readDataBuffer(): entered, returning
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Since I am not processing any of the data in the GUI slot, and since this program works fine for about 30 seconds with its usual signal/slots being called, I am at a loss at to what is causing this seq fault in the Qt event processing.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks,
-Andres
UPDATE:
thank you Andrew Medico for your suggestion to use valgrind. I never thought of using it as a debugging tool but that makes perfect sense. After using it, it became obvious that you were correct that something else was causing the problem and I finally found the cause elsewhere in my code. I was over writing a buffer. Thanks again Andrew for your assistance.
