[Michael Catanzaro]

I see some bad complaints from valgrind when starting Epiphany:

This is with 2.8.3.

Possibly related to bug #153637?

Ran it with --track-origins=yes, looks like two different bugs maybe:

Here's a third one, I guess it occurs when loading the overview:

[Michael Catanzaro]

So:

In WebPageProxy::loadAlternateHTMLString we never initialize the request, sandboxExtensionHandle, data, MIMEType, or encodingName properties of LoadParameters. It's arguably not a bug if we never use those parameters, but valgrind justifiably complains that we pass uninitialized memory into the kernel. Let's avoid it by zero-initializing the struct.

In the case of WebProcessPool::ensureNetworkProcess, there's a bunch of stuff we're not initializing in NetworkProcessCreationParameters (e.g. the sandbox extension handles are only conditionally-initialized). Again, we ought to zero-initialize the struct.

The one that valgrind says originates in IPC::Connection::sendOutgoingMessage is less obvious, still trying to figure it out.

Guess: a message attachment contains uninitalized memory? The uninitialized memory must be coming from the UnixMessage, and therefore ultimately from the encoder that gets passed to sendOutgoingMessage. If it were a problem with encoder.buffer() then it would be a heap issue rather than a stack issue, so my guess is the message attachment.

Now the problem is going to be tracking it down to a particular message. Not sure how we can do that.

debug patch

It seems to be the very first message. I added this debug patch and valgrind claims on the printf() for four times. Maybe some structure padding involved here? The msg_iov[0] is just:

    iov[0].iov_base = reinterpret_cast<void*>(&messageInfo);
    iov[0].iov_len = sizeof(messageInfo);

If I recall correctly, valgrind can remember issues and only add to the counter, not claiming about them again and again, thus it's possible it's every message, but valgrind doesn't claim, because it already reported the issue.

> Maybe some structure padding involved here?

Good job Milan, you got it right! I spent several hours trying to figure out what was wrong here... it was indeed uninitialized struct padding. Normally that's fine because struct padding should never be accessed in normal code, but because we're copying the entire MessageInfo into write(), we write() the whole thing.

I think there's no correctness problem here, because the uninitialized bytes should only be used for struct padding when read() into the receiving process. But we should pack this class anyway to avoid complaints from valgrind.

P.S. packing this struct will result in worse code generation on platforms that disallow unaligned access, but it's surely the right thing to do.

P.S.S. There is another solution: heap allocate the MessageInfo instead of stack allocating it. I'm not sure *why* that fixes the warning, but it does. I opted for packing the struct because I didn't understand why.

> But we should pack this class anyway to avoid complaints from valgrind.

What about:

   memset(&msg, 0, sizeof (UnixMessage));

would that work?

I do not say it's the best solution (one may argue it's no solution at all), but it can work with uninitialized variables/structure members. Does the heap allocation do anything similar?

[Michael Catanzaro]

No, I tried that but it didn't work because it's not a trivially-destructible type. (That clobbers the Vector data member.)

I think it might work for the MessageInfo, though. Let me try that.

[Michael Catanzaro]

Yeah it works. That's better. Thanks, Milan!

I see. Setting structure content to 0 on classes, not bare structures, feels dangerous. But maybe only because I do not have enough knowledge of how those are treated by the compiler (I'm thinking of virtual and non-virtual functions and the like, not only variables/properties).

[Milan Crha]

The patch works for msg_iov[0], but not for msg_iov[1]. At least here. I'll try a new build. (No debug symbols below, I'm sorry.)

[Michael Catanzaro]

Weird, I'm not able to reproduce that.

Milan, could you please test my __attribute__((packed)) patch as well and let me know if that still has the same warning?

[Milan Crha]

Yes, it's there with the other patch too.

  $ export GIGACAGE_ENABLED=0
  $ G_SLICE=always-malloc valgrind --show-leak-kinds=definite --num-callers=30 \
       --leak-check=no --aspace-minaddr=0x100000000 --track-origins=yes \
       ${PREFIX}/libexec/webkit2gtk-4.0/MiniBrowser

That's ^^^ all I do to reproduce it.

[Michael Catanzaro]

OK, I really can't reproduce, so I'm not the right person to fix it. Can you report a separate bug for it, please? We can use this bug report for just the first issue.

[Milan Crha]

(In reply to Michael Catanzaro from comment #23)
> Can you report a separate bug for it, please?

Sure, I can, though I see both in the comment #0, thus maybe it's just something with my build. I'll wait with it for an official build with the fix (in Fedora) and I'll open a new bug (with a link to this one) if reproducible there as well (unless I forget of this). Knowing the target WebKitGTK+ version for this fix will help (once it's committed).

[Michael Catanzaro]

Well this is not completely fixed... r259037 avoids the warning when using bmalloc, but when running with Malloc=1, it's still there. __attribute__ ((packed)) doesn't help in this case either, so... ?????

(I needed Malloc=1 to catch a memory corruption bug recently since valgrind was not complaining when using bmalloc, and have added it to Epiphany's instructions on how to run valgrind.)

Follow up in bug #220668.
