2025-10-08[Clang] Wire up -fsanitize=alloc-token (#156839)Marco Elver
Wire up the `-fsanitize=alloc-token` command-line option, hooking up the `AllocToken` pass -- it provides allocation tokens to compatible runtime allocators, enabling different heap organization strategies, e.g. hardening schemes based on heap partitioning. The instrumentation rewrites standard allocation calls into variants that accept an additional `size_t token_id` argument. For example, calls to `malloc(size)` become `__alloc_token_malloc(size, token_id)`, and a C++ `new MyType` expression will call `__alloc_token__Znwm(size, token_id)`. Currently untyped allocation calls do not yet have `!alloc_token` metadata, and therefore receive the fallback token only. This will be fixed in subsequent changes through best-effort type-inference. One benefit of the instrumentation approach is that it can be applied transparently to large codebases, and scales in deployment as other sanitizers. Similarly to other sanitizers, instrumentation can selectively be controlled using `__attribute__((no_sanitize("alloc-token")))`. Support for sanitizer ignorelists to disable instrumentation for specific functions or source files is implemented. See clang/docs/AllocToken.rst for more usage instructions.
