Recently I noticed that clickhouse compiled with ASan does not work with
newer glibc 2.36+, before I though that this was only about compiling
with old but using new, however that was not correct, ASan simply does
not work with glibc 2.36+.
Here is a simple reproducer [1]:
$ cat > test-asan.cpp <<EOL
#include <pthread.h>
int main()
{
// something broken in ASan in interceptor for __pthread_mutex_lock
// and only since glibc 2.36, and for pthread_mutex_lock everything is OK
pthread_mutex_t mutex = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER;
return __pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex);
}
EOL
$ clang -g3 -o test-asan test-asan.cpp -fsanitize=address
$ ./test-asan

I've started observing glibc code, there was some changes in glibc, that
moves pthread functions out from libpthread.so.0 into libc.so.6
(somewhere between 2.31 and 2.35), but
the problem pops up only with 2.36, 2.35 works fine.
After this I've looked into changes between 2.35 and 2.36, and found
this patch [2] - "dlsym: Make RTLD_NEXT prefer default version
definition [BZ #14932]", that fixes this bug [3].

The problem with using DL_LOOKUP_RETURN_NEWEST flag for RTLD_NEXT is
that it does not resolve hidden symbols (and __pthread_mutex_lock is
indeed hidden).
Here is a sample that will show the difference [4]:
$ cat > test-dlsym.c <<EOL
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <dlfcn.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
void *p = dlsym(RTLD_NEXT, "__pthread_mutex_lock");
printf("__pthread_mutex_lock: %p (via RTLD_NEXT)\n", p);
return 0;
}
EOL
# glibc 2.35: __pthread_mutex_lock: 0x7ffff7e27f70 (via RTLD_NEXT)
# glibc 2.36: __pthread_mutex_lock: (nil) (via RTLD_NEXT)

But ThreadFuzzer uses internal symbols to wrap
pthread_mutex_lock/pthread_mutex_unlock, which are intercepted by ASan
and this leads to NULL dereference.
The fix was obvious - just use dlsym(RTLD_NEXT), however on older
glibc's this leads to endless recursion (see commits in the code). But
only for jemalloc [5], and even though sanitizers does not uses jemalloc
the code of ThreadFuzzer is generic and I don't want to guard it with
more preprocessors macros.

So we have to use RTLD_NEXT only for ASan.
There is also one more interesting issue, if you will compile with clang
that itself had been compiled with newer libc (i.e. 2.36), you will get
the following error:
$ podman run --privileged -v $PWD/.cmake-asan/programs:/root/bin -e PATH=/bin:/root/bin -e --rm -it ubuntu-dev-v3 clickhouse
==1==ERROR: AddressSanitizer failed to allocate 0x0 (0) bytes of SetAlternateSignalStack (error code: 22)
...
==1==End of process memory map.
AddressSanitizer: CHECK failed: sanitizer_common.cpp:53 "((0 && "unable to mmap")) != (0)" (0x0, 0x0) (tid=1)
<empty stack>
The problem is that since GLIBC_2.31, `SIGSTKSZ` is a call to
`getconf(_SC_MINSIGSTKSZ)`, but older glibc does not have it, so `-1`
will be returned and used as `SIGSTKSZ` instead.
The workaround to disable alternative stack:
$ podman run --privileged -v $PWD/.cmake-asan/programs:/root/bin -e PATH=/bin:/root/bin -e ASAN_OPTIONS=use_sigaltstack=0 --rm -it ubuntu-dev-v3 clickhouse client --version
ClickHouse client version 22.13.1.1.

Implementation:
* Added ProfileEvents::ServerStartupTime.
* Recorded time from start of main till listening to sockets.
Testing:
* Added a test 02532_profileevents_server_startup_time.sql
