Predictive data race detectors find data races that exist in executions other than the observed execution. Smaragdakis et al. introduced the causally-precedes (CP) relation and a polynomial-time analysis for sound (no false races) predictive data race detection. However, their analysis cannot scale beyond analyzing bounded windows of execution traces. This work introduces a novel dynamic analysis called Raptor that computes CP soundly and completely. Raptor is inherently an online analysis that analyzes and finds all CP-races of an execution trace in its entirety. An evaluation of a prototype implementation of Raptor shows that it scales to program executions that the prior CP analysis cannot handle, finding data races that the prior CP analysis cannot find.

Widely used data race detectors, including the state-of-the-art FastTrack algorithm, incur performance costs that are acceptable for regular in-house testing, but miss races detectable from the analyzed execution. Predictive analyses detect more data races in an analyzed execution than FastTrack detects, but at significantly higher performance cost. This paper presents SmartTrack, an algorithm that optimizes predictive race detection analyses, including two analyses from prior work and a new analysis introduced in this paper. SmartTracks algorithm incorporates two main optimizations: (1) epoch and ownership optimizations from prior work, applied to predictive analysis for the first time; and (2) novel conflicting critical section optimizations introduced by this paper. Our evaluation shows that SmartTrack achieves performance competitive with FastTrack-a qualitative improvement in the state of the art for data race detection.
Implementing bug-free concurrent programs is a challenging task in modern software development. State-of-the-art static analyses find hundreds of concurrency bugs in production code, scaling to large codebases. Yet, fixing these bugs in constantly ch anging codebases represents a daunting effort for programmers, particularly because a fix in the concurrent code can introduce other bugs in a subtle way. In this work, we show how to harness compositional static analysis for concurrency bug detection, to enable a new Automated Program Repair (APR) technique for data races in large concurrent Java codebases. The key innovation of our work is an algorithm that translates procedure summaries inferred by the analysis tool for the purpose of bug reporting, into small local patches that fix concurrency bugs (without introducing new ones). This synergy makes it possible to extend the virtues of compositional static concurrency analysis to APR, making our approach effective (it can detect and fix many more bugs than existing tools for data race repair), scalable (it takes seconds to analyse and suggest fixes for sizeable codebases), and usable (generally, it does not require annotations from the users and can perform continuous automated repair). Our study conducted on popular open-source projects has confirmed that our tool automatically produces concurrency fixes similar to those proposed by the developers in the past.
In this paper, our aim is to propose a model for code abstraction, based on abstract interpretation, allowing us to improve the precision of a recently proposed static analysis by abstract interpretation of dynamic languages. The problem we tackle he re is that the analysis may add some spurious code to the string-to-execute abstract value and this code may need some abstract representations in order to make it analyzable. This is precisely what we propose here, where we drive the code abstraction by the analysis we have to perform.
We propose a data-driven method for synthesizing a static analyzer to detect side-channel information leaks in cryptographic software. Compared to the conventional way of manually crafting such a static analyzer, which can be labor intensive, error p rone and suboptimal, our learning-based technique is not only automated but also provably sound. Our analyzer consists of a set of type-inference rules learned from the training data, i.e., example code snippets annotated with ground truth. Internally, we use syntax-guided synthesis (SyGuS) to generate new features and decision tree learning (DTL) to generate type-inference rules based on these features. We guarantee soundness by formally proving each learned rule via a technique called Datalog query containment checking. We have implemented our technique in the LLVM compiler and used it to detect power side channels in C programs. Our results show that, in addition to being automated and provably sound during synthesis, the learned analyzer also has the same empirical accuracy as two state-of-the-art, manually crafted analyzers while being 300X and 900X faster, respectively.
The analysis and proper documentation of the properties of closed-loop control software presents many distinct aspects from the analysis of the same software running open-loop. Issues of physical system representations arise, and it is desired that s uch representations remain independent from the representations of the control program. For that purpose, a concurrent program representation of the plant and the control processes is proposed, although the closed-loop system is sufficiently serialized to enable a sequential analysis. While dealing with closed-loop system properties, it is also shown by means of examples how special treatment of nonlinearities extends from the analysis of control specifications to code analysis.
