Initially, a 1-page (4k) stack is allocated. When SP moves below that for the first time, presumably a page fault occurs. The kernel detects that the faulting address is in the range from SP - VG_STACK_REDZONE_SZB upwards to the current valid stack. It then extends the stack segment downwards for enough to cover the faulting address, and resumes the process (invisibly). The process is unaware of any of this. That means that Valgrind can't spot when the stack segment is being extended. Fortunately, we want to precisely and continuously update stack permissions around SP, so we need to spot all writes to SP anyway. The deal is: when SP is assigned a lower value, the stack is being extended. Create suitably-permissioned pages to fill in any holes between the old stack ptr and this one, if necessary. Then mark all bytes in the area just "uncovered" by this SP change as write-only. When SP goes back up, mark the area receded over as unreadable and unwritable. Just to record the SP boundary conditions somewhere convenient: SP - VG_STACK_REDZONE_SZB always points to the lowest live byte in the stack. All addresses below SP - VG_STACK_REDZONE_SZB are not live; those at and above it are. We do not concern ourselves here with the VG_STACK_REDZONE_SZB bias; that is handled by new_mem_stack/die_mem_stack. */ /* * This structure holds information about the start and end addresses of * registered stacks.
