Subject: [2.28 COMMITTED] malloc: tcache double free check
Date: Mon, 01 Jan 2018 00:00:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <xno9ajtv3n.fsf@greed.delorie.com> (raw)


This adds a test that exists in the non-tcache malloc, hence
technically it fixes a regression - simple double frees were detected
before, tcache bypassed that test, so needs its own test.

(cherry picked from commit bcdaad21d4635931d1bd3b54a7894276925d081d)

2018-11-20  DJ Delorie  <dj@redhat.com>

	* malloc/malloc.c (tcache_entry): Add key field.
	(tcache_put): Set it.
	(tcache_get): Likewise.
	(_int_free): Check for double free in tcache.
	* malloc/tst-tcfree1.c: New.
	* malloc/tst-tcfree2.c: New.
	* malloc/Makefile: Run the new tests.
	* manual/probes.texi: Document memory_tcache_double_free probe.

	* dlfcn/dlerror.c (check_free): Prevent double frees.
