On Windows we've observed that if you open a file, write to it, map it into memory and close the file handle, the contents of the memory mapping can sometimes be incorrect. That was what we did when adding an entry to the ThinLTO cache using the TempFile and MemoryBuffer classes, and it was causing intermittent build failures on Chromium's ThinLTO bots on Windows. More details are in the associated Chromium bug (crbug.com/786127). We can prevent this from happening by keeping a handle to the file open while the mapping is active. So this patch changes the mapped_file_region class to duplicate the file handle when mapping the file and close it upon unmapping it. One gotcha is that the file handle that we keep open must not have been created with FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE, as otherwise the operating system will prevent other processes from opening the file. We can achieve this by avoiding the use of FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE altogether. Instead, we use SetFileInformationByHandle with FileDispositionInfo to manage the delete-on-close bit. This lets us remove the hack that we used to use to clear the delete-on-close bit on a file opened with FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE. A downside of using SetFileInformationByHandle/FileDispositionInfo as opposed to FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE is that it prevents us from using CreateFile to open the file while the flag is set, even within the same process. This doesn't seem to matter for almost every client of TempFile, except for LockFileManager, which calls sys::fs::create_link to create a hard link from the lock file, and in the process of doing so tries to open the file. To prevent this change from breaking LockFileManager I changed it to stop using TempFile by effectively reverting r318550. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D48051 llvm-svn: 334630
llvm/lib/Support/Unix README =========================== This directory provides implementations of the lib/System classes that are common to two or more variants of UNIX. For example, the directory structure underneath this directory could look like this: Unix - only code that is truly generic to all UNIX platforms Posix - code that is specific to Posix variants of UNIX SUS - code that is specific to the Single Unix Specification SysV - code that is specific to System V variants of UNIX As a rule, only those directories actually needing to be created should be created. Also, further subdirectories could be created to reflect versions of the various standards. For example, under SUS there could be v1, v2, and v3 subdirectories to reflect the three major versions of SUS.
