[ASan][libc++] Turn on ASan annotations for short strings
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This is 3rd attempt to upstream short string annotations, it's the same as the previous one, but other PRs fixed issues withing LLVM:
- llvm#79489
- llvm#79522

Additionaly annotations were updated (but it shouldn't have any impact on anything):
- llvm#79292

Now, as far as I know, all buildbots should work without problems. Both previous reverts were not related to issues with string annotations, but with issues in LLVM/clang.
Read PRs above and below for details.

Previous description:

Originally merged here: llvm#75882
Reverted here: llvm#78627

Reverted due to failing buildbots. The problem was not caused by the annotations code, but by code in the `UniqueFunctionBase` class and in the `JSON.h` file. That code caused the program to write to memory that was already being used by string objects, which resulted in an ASan error.

Fixes are implemented in:
- llvm#79065
- llvm#79066

Problematic code from `UniqueFunctionBase` for example:
```cpp
    // In debug builds, we also scribble across the rest of the storage.
    memset(RHS.getInlineStorage(), 0xAD, InlineStorageSize);
```

Original description:

This commit turns on ASan annotations in `std::basic_string` for short stings (SSO case).

Originally suggested here: https://reviews.llvm.org/D147680

String annotations added here: llvm#72677

Requires to pass CI without fails:
- llvm#75845
- llvm#75858

Annotating `std::basic_string` with default allocator is implemented in llvm#72677 but annotations for short strings (SSO - Short String Optimization) are turned off there. This commit turns them on. This also removes `_LIBCPP_SHORT_STRING_ANNOTATIONS_ALLOWED`, because we do not plan to support turning on and off short string annotations.

Support in ASan API exists since llvm@dd1b7b7. You can turn off annotations for a specific allocator based on changes from llvm@2fa1bec.

This PR is a part of a series of patches extending AddressSanitizer C++ container overflow detection capabilities by adding annotations, similar to those existing in `std::vector` and `std::deque` collections. These enhancements empower ASan to effectively detect instances where the instrumented program attempts to access memory within a collection's internal allocation that remains unused. This includes cases where access occurs before or after the stored elements in `std::deque`, or between the `std::basic_string`'s size (including the null terminator) and capacity bounds.

The introduction of these annotations was spurred by a real-world software bug discovered by Trail of Bits, involving an out-of-bounds memory access during the comparison of two strings using the `std::equals` function. This function was taking iterators (`iter1_begin`, `iter1_end`, `iter2_begin`) to perform the comparison, using a custom comparison function. When the `iter1` object exceeded the length of `iter2`, an out-of-bounds read could occur on the `iter2` object. Container sanitization, upon enabling these annotations, would effectively identify and flag this potential vulnerability.
