[asan] Optimize initialization order checking (llvm#101837)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The pair `__asan_before_dynamic_init` and `__asan_after_dynamic_init` is
executed for each TU. `__asan_after_dynamic_init` unpoisons all globals,
which
makes the time complexity O(N^2), where N is the maximum of the global
count and
the TU count. This is expensive for large binaries.

This patch decreases the time complexity to O(N), when lld and static
runtime is
used on SANITIZER_CAN_USE_PREINIT_ARRAY platforms. This requires:

Enabling incremental poisoning (`__asan_before_dynamic_init` since
llvm#101597). Making most
`__asan_after_dynamic_init` calls do nothing.

// Maybe SANITIZER_CAN_USE_PREINIT_ARRAY is to conservative for `.init_array`,

// This optimization aims to reduce the overhead of `__asan_after_dynamic_init`
// calls by leveraging incremental unpoisoning/poisoning in
// `__asan_before_dynamic_init`. We expect most `__asan_after_dynamic_init
// calls` to be no-ops. However, to ensure all globals are unpoisoned before the
// `main`, we force `UnpoisonBeforeMain` to fully execute
// `__asan_after_dynamic_init`.

// With lld, `UnpoisonBeforeMain` runs after standard `.init_array`, making it
// the final `__asan_after_dynamic_init` call for the static runtime. In
// contrast, GNU ld executes it earlier, causing subsequent
// `__asan_after_dynamic_init` calls to perform full unpoisoning, losing the
// optimization.
