Exploiting Cache Traffic Monitoring for Run-Time Race Detection

Exploiting Cache Traffic Monitoring for Run-Time Race Detection

Abstract

Finding and fixing data races is a difficult parallel programming problem, even for experienced programmers. Despite the usage of race detectors at application development time, programmers might not be able to detect all races. Severe damage can be caused after application deployment at clients due to crashes and corrupted data. Run-time race detectors can tackle this problem, but current approaches either slow down application execution by orders of magnitude or require complex hardware. In this paper, we present a new approach to detect and repair races at application run-time. Our approach monitors cache coherency bus traffic for parallel accesses to unprotected shared resources. The technique has low overhead and requires just minor extensions to standard multicore hardware and software to make measurements more accurate. In particular, we exploit synergy effects between data needed for debugging and data made available by standard performance analysis hardware. We demonstrate feasibility and effectiveness using a controlled environment with a fully implemented software-based detector that executes real C/C++ applications. Our evaluations include the Helgrind and SPLASH2 benchmarks, as well as 29 representative parallel bug patterns derived from real-world programs. Experiments show that our technique successfully detects and automatically heals common race patterns, while the cache message overhead increases on average by just 0.2%.
