gmon: Fix allocated buffer overflow (bug 29444)
The `__monstartup()` allocates a buffer used to store all the data accumulated by the monitor. The size of this buffer depends on the size of the internal structures used and the address range for which the monitor is activated, as well as on the maximum density of call instructions and/or callable functions that could be potentially on a segment of executable code. In particular a hash table of arcs is placed at the end of this buffer. The size of this hash table is calculated in bytes as p->fromssize = p->textsize / HASHFRACTION; but actually should be p->fromssize = ROUNDUP(p->textsize / HASHFRACTION, sizeof(*p->froms)); This results in writing beyond the end of the allocated buffer when an added arc corresponds to a call near from the end of the monitored address range, since `_mcount()` check the incoming caller address for monitored range but not the intermediate result hash-like index that uses to write into the table. It should be noted that when the results are output to `gmon.out`, the table is read to the last element calculated from the allocated size in bytes, so the arcs stored outside the buffer boundary did not fall into `gprof` for analysis. Thus this "feature" help me to found this bug during working with https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29438 Just in case, I will explicitly note that the problem breaks the `make test t=gmon/tst-gmon-dso` added for Bug 29438. There, the arc of the `f3()` call disappears from the output, since in the DSO case, the call to `f3` is located close to the end of the monitored range. Signed-off-by: Леонид Юрьев (Leonid Yuriev) <leo@yuriev.ru> Another minor error seems a related typo in the calculation of `kcountsize`, but since kcounts are smaller than froms, this is actually to align the p->froms data.
