Razzer: Finding kernel race bugs through fuzzing

DR Jeong, K Kim, B Shivakumar… - 2019 IEEE Symposium …, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
A data race in a kernel is an important class of bugs, critically impacting the reliability and
security of the associated system. As a result of a race, the kernel may become …

FastTrack: efficient and precise dynamic race detection

C Flanagan, SN Freund - ACM Sigplan Notices, 2009 - dl.acm.org
\begin {abstract} Multithreaded programs are notoriously prone to race conditions. Prior work
on dynamic race detectors includes fast but imprecise race detectors that report false alarms …

ThreadSanitizer: data race detection in practice

K Serebryany, T Iskhodzhanov - Proceedings of the workshop on binary …, 2009 - dl.acm.org
Data races are a particularly unpleasant kind of threading bugs. They are hard to find and
reproduce--you may not observe a bug during the entire testing cycle and will only see it in …

[PDF][PDF] Finding and Reproducing Heisenbugs in Concurrent Programs.

M Musuvathi, S Qadeer, T Ball, G Basler, PA Nainar… - OSDI, 2008 - usenix.org
Concurrency is pervasive in large systems. Unexpected interference among threads often
results in “Heisenbugs” that are extremely difficult to reproduce and eliminate. We have …

Effective static race detection for Java

M Naik, A Aiken, J Whaley - Proceedings of the 27th ACM SIGPLAN …, 2006 - dl.acm.org
We present a novel technique for static race detection in Java programs, comprised of a
series of stages that employ a combination of static analyses to successively reduce the …

Race directed random testing of concurrent programs

K Sen - Proceedings of the 29th ACM SIGPLAN Conference on …, 2008 - dl.acm.org
Bugs in multi-threaded programs often arise due to data races. Numerous static and
dynamic program analysis techniques have been proposed to detect data races. We …

Racetrack: efficient detection of data race conditions via adaptive tracking

Y Yu, T Rodeheffer, W Chen - … of the twentieth ACM symposium on …, 2005 - dl.acm.org
Bugs due to data races in multithreaded programs often exhibit non-deterministic symptoms
and are notoriously difficult to find. This paper describes RaceTrack, a dynamic race …

Maximal sound predictive race detection with control flow abstraction

J Huang, PON Meredith, G Rosu - … of the 35th ACM SIGPLAN conference …, 2014 - dl.acm.org
Despite the numerous static and dynamic program analysis techniques in the literature, data
races remain one of the most common bugs in modern concurrent software. Further, the …

AVIO: detecting atomicity violations via access interleaving invariants

S Lu, J Tucek, F Qin, Y Zhou - ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review, 2006 - dl.acm.org
Concurrency bugs are among the most difficult to test and diagnose of all software bugs. The
multicore technology trend worsens this problem. Most previous concurrency bug detection …

Atomizer: a dynamic atomicity checker for multithreaded programs

C Flanagan, SN Freund - ACM SIGPLAN Notices, 2004 - dl.acm.org
Ensuring the correctness of multithreaded programs is difficult, due to the potential for
unexpected interactions between concurrent threads. Much previous work has focused on …
