## tcache
tcache 全名 thread local caching它为每个线程创建一个缓存cache从而实现无锁的分配算法有不错的性能提升。libc-2.26 正式提供了该机制,并默认开启,具体可以查看这次 [commit](https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=d5c3fafc4307c9b7a4c7d5cb381fcdbfad340bcc)。
#### 数据结构
glibc 在编译时使用 `USE_TCACHE` 条件来开启 tcache 机制,并定义了下面一些东西:
```c
#if USE_TCACHE
/* We want 64 entries. This is an arbitrary limit, which tunables can reduce. */
# define TCACHE_MAX_BINS 64
# define MAX_TCACHE_SIZE tidx2usize (TCACHE_MAX_BINS-1)
/* Only used to pre-fill the tunables. */
# define tidx2usize(idx) (((size_t) idx) * MALLOC_ALIGNMENT + MINSIZE - SIZE_SZ)
/* When "x" is from chunksize(). */
# define csize2tidx(x) (((x) - MINSIZE + MALLOC_ALIGNMENT - 1) / MALLOC_ALIGNMENT)
/* When "x" is a user-provided size. */
# define usize2tidx(x) csize2tidx (request2size (x))
/* With rounding and alignment, the bins are...
idx 0 bytes 0..24 (64-bit) or 0..12 (32-bit)
idx 1 bytes 25..40 or 13..20
idx 2 bytes 41..56 or 21..28
etc. */
/* This is another arbitrary limit, which tunables can change. Each
tcache bin will hold at most this number of chunks. */
# define TCACHE_FILL_COUNT 7
#endif
```
值得注意的比如每个线程默认使用 64 个单链表结构的 bins每个 bins 最多存放 7 个 chunk。chunk 的大小在 64 位机器上以 16 字节递增,从 24 到 1032 字节。32 位机器上则是以 8 字节递增,从 12 到 512 字节。所以 tcache bin 只用于存放 non-large 的 chunk。
然后引入了两个新的数据结构,`tcache_entry` 和 `tcache_perthread_struct`
```c
/* We overlay this structure on the user-data portion of a chunk when
the chunk is stored in the per-thread cache. */
typedef struct tcache_entry
{
struct tcache_entry *next;
} tcache_entry;
/* There is one of these for each thread, which contains the
per-thread cache (hence "tcache_perthread_struct"). Keeping
overall size low is mildly important. Note that COUNTS and ENTRIES
are redundant (we could have just counted the linked list each
time), this is for performance reasons. */
typedef struct tcache_perthread_struct
{
char counts[TCACHE_MAX_BINS];
tcache_entry *entries[TCACHE_MAX_BINS];
} tcache_perthread_struct;
static __thread tcache_perthread_struct *tcache = NULL;
```
tcache_perthread_struct 包含一个数组 entries用于放置 64 个 bins数组 counts 存放每个 bins 中的 chunk 数量。每个被放入相应 bins 中的 chunk 都会在其用户数据中包含一个 tcache_entryFD指针指向同 bins 中的下一个 chunk构成单链表。
tcache 初始化操作如下:
```c
static void
tcache_init(void)
{
mstate ar_ptr;
void *victim = 0;
const size_t bytes = sizeof (tcache_perthread_struct);
if (tcache_shutting_down)
return;
arena_get (ar_ptr, bytes);
victim = _int_malloc (ar_ptr, bytes);
if (!victim && ar_ptr != NULL)
{
ar_ptr = arena_get_retry (ar_ptr, bytes);
victim = _int_malloc (ar_ptr, bytes);
}
if (ar_ptr != NULL)
__libc_lock_unlock (ar_ptr->mutex);
/* In a low memory situation, we may not be able to allocate memory
- in which case, we just keep trying later. However, we
typically do this very early, so either there is sufficient
memory, or there isn't enough memory to do non-trivial
allocations anyway. */
if (victim)
{
tcache = (tcache_perthread_struct *) victim;
memset (tcache, 0, sizeof (tcache_perthread_struct));
}
}
```
#### 使用
触发在 tcache 中放入 chunk 的操作:
- free 时:在 fastbin 的操作之前进行,如果 chunk size 符合要求,并且对应的 bins 还未装满,则将其放进去。
```c
#if USE_TCACHE
{
size_t tc_idx = csize2tidx (size);
if (tcache
&& tc_idx < mp_.tcache_bins
&& tcache->counts[tc_idx] < mp_.tcache_count)
{
tcache_put (p, tc_idx);
return;
}
}
#endif
```
- malloc 时:有三个地方会触发。
- 如果从 fastbin 中成功返回了一个需要的 chunk那么对应 fastbin 中的其他 chunk 会被放进相应的 tcache bin 中,直到上限。需要注意的是 chunks 在 tcache bin 的顺序和在 fastbin 中的顺序是反过来的。
```c
#if USE_TCACHE
/* While we're here, if we see other chunks of the same size,
stash them in the tcache. */
size_t tc_idx = csize2tidx (nb);
if (tcache && tc_idx < mp_.tcache_bins)
{
mchunkptr tc_victim;
/* While bin not empty and tcache not full, copy chunks. */
while (tcache->counts[tc_idx] < mp_.tcache_count
&& (tc_victim = *fb) != NULL)
{
if (SINGLE_THREAD_P)
*fb = tc_victim->fd;
else
{
REMOVE_FB (fb, pp, tc_victim);
if (__glibc_unlikely (tc_victim == NULL))
break;
}
tcache_put (tc_victim, tc_idx);
}
}
#endif
```
- smallbin 中的情况与 fastbin 相似,双链表中的剩余 chunk 会被填充到 tcache bin 中,直到上限。
```c
#if USE_TCACHE
/* While we're here, if we see other chunks of the same size,
stash them in the tcache. */
size_t tc_idx = csize2tidx (nb);
if (tcache && tc_idx < mp_.tcache_bins)
{
mchunkptr tc_victim;
/* While bin not empty and tcache not full, copy chunks over. */
while (tcache->counts[tc_idx] < mp_.tcache_count
&& (tc_victim = last (bin)) != bin)
{
if (tc_victim != 0)
{
bck = tc_victim->bk;
set_inuse_bit_at_offset (tc_victim, nb);
if (av != &main_arena)
set_non_main_arena (tc_victim);
bin->bk = bck;
bck->fd = bin;
tcache_put (tc_victim, tc_idx);
}
}
}
#endif
```
- binning codechunk合并等其他情况每一个符合要求的 chunk 都会优先被放入 tcache而不是直接返回除非tcache被装满。寻找结束后tcache 会返回其中一个。
```c
#if USE_TCACHE
/* Fill cache first, return to user only if cache fills.
We may return one of these chunks later. */
if (tcache_nb
&& tcache->counts[tc_idx] < mp_.tcache_count)
{
tcache_put (victim, tc_idx);
return_cached = 1;
continue;
}
else
{
#endif
```
触发从 tcache 中取出 chunk 的操作
- `__libc_malloc()` 调用 `_int_malloc()` 之前如果 tcache bin 中有符合要求的 chunk则直接将它返回
```c
#if USE_TCACHE
/* int_free also calls request2size, be careful to not pad twice. */
size_t tbytes;
checked_request2size (bytes, tbytes);
size_t tc_idx = csize2tidx (tbytes);
MAYBE_INIT_TCACHE ();
DIAG_PUSH_NEEDS_COMMENT;
if (tc_idx < mp_.tcache_bins
/*&& tc_idx < TCACHE_MAX_BINS*/ /* to appease gcc */
&& tcache
&& tcache->entries[tc_idx] != NULL)
{
return tcache_get (tc_idx);
}
DIAG_POP_NEEDS_COMMENT;
#endif
```
- bining code 如果在 tcache 中放入 chunk 达到上限则会直接返回最后一个 chunk
```c
#if USE_TCACHE
/* If we've processed as many chunks as we're allowed while
filling the cache, return one of the cached ones. */
++tcache_unsorted_count;
if (return_cached
&& mp_.tcache_unsorted_limit > 0
&& tcache_unsorted_count > mp_.tcache_unsorted_limit)
{
return tcache_get (tc_idx);
}
#endif
```
当然默认情况下没有限制,所以这段代码也不会执行:
```c
.tcache_unsorted_limit = 0 /* No limit. */
```
- binning code 结束后,如果没有直接返回(如上),那么如果有至少一个符合要求的 chunk 被找到,则返回最后一个。
```c
#if USE_TCACHE
/* If all the small chunks we found ended up cached, return one now. */
if (return_cached)
{
return tcache_get (tc_idx);
}
#endif
```
另外还需要注意的是 tcache 中的 chunk 不会被合并,无论是相邻 chunk还是 chunk 和 top chunk。因为这些 chunk 会被标记为 inuse。
## 安全性分析
`tcache_put()``tcache_get()` 分别用于从单链表中放入和取出 chunk
```c
/* Caller must ensure that we know tc_idx is valid and there's room
for more chunks. */
static __always_inline void
tcache_put (mchunkptr chunk, size_t tc_idx)
{
tcache_entry *e = (tcache_entry *) chunk2mem (chunk);
assert (tc_idx < TCACHE_MAX_BINS);
e->next = tcache->entries[tc_idx];
tcache->entries[tc_idx] = e;
++(tcache->counts[tc_idx]);
}
/* Caller must ensure that we know tc_idx is valid and there's
available chunks to remove. */
static __always_inline void *
tcache_get (size_t tc_idx)
{
tcache_entry *e = tcache->entries[tc_idx];
assert (tc_idx < TCACHE_MAX_BINS);
assert (tcache->entries[tc_idx] > 0);
tcache->entries[tc_idx] = e->next;
--(tcache->counts[tc_idx]);
return (void *) e;
}
```
可以看到注释部分,它假设调用者已经对参数进行了有效性检查,然而由于对 tcache 的操作在 free 和 malloc 中往往都处于很靠前的位置,导致原来的许多有效性检查都被无视了。这样做虽然有利于提升执行效率,但对安全性造成了负面影响。

## CTF 实例
在最近的 CTF 中,已经开始尝试使用 libc-2.26,比如章节 6.1.15 中的例子。
