前几天有同学反馈了cgo内存泄露问题，自己也针对这个问题探索了一番，算是为以后解决类似问题提前攒点经验吧。也趁机整理了一下go开发过程中内存泄露问题的一些常用排查方法，也希望对新接触go的同学有所帮助。整理之余，bcc工具之丰富也让我有点惊讶，也希望对自己日后的工作有所帮助吧。
内存泄漏
内存泄露，一个老生常谈的问题，但即便是老手也会犯一些低级错误。如果没有可靠的研发流程保证在测试阶段发现问题，问题就容易被带到线上。计算资源始终是有限的，问题也不会因为资源充裕就消失不见，产生影响只是时间问题。影响有多大，就要结合场景来说了。
内存泄漏，最可能的影响就是内存申请失败。但实际上操作系统更聪明，结合系统整体负载情况，它会为每个进程计算一个oom_score，并在内存资源紧张时选择一个合适的进程杀死并回收内存资源，see how does the oom killer decide which process to kill first。
所以，内存泄露的最终结果，大概率会被操作系统kill，通常进程挂掉后，确认其是否是因为oom问题被kill，可以通过查看 /proc/messages 来确认是否有对应日志。有的话，那就坐实了oom killed（但是被oom killed的进程不一定意味着存在内存泄露）。
服务质量
结合运维手段的变化，来看看是否内存泄漏问题对服务质量造成的影响。
传统人工方式，通过感知告警、人为介入这种方式，效率低，要十几分钟；通过虚拟机自动化部署的方式，感知异常自动重启虚拟机，耗时大约要分钟级；通过docker容器化部署的方式，感知异常自动重启容器，耗时大约在秒级；
看上去现代运维方式一定程度上可以缓解这个问题，是，这也要分情况：
如果内存泄露的代码路径不容易被触发，那可能要跑很久才能触发oom kill，如一周；但是如果代码路径在关键代码路径上，且请求量大，频繁触发内存泄露，那可能跑个几分钟就会挂掉；跟每次内存泄露的内存大小也有关系，如果泄露的少，多苟活一阵子，反之容易暴毙；进程一旦挂掉，这段时间就不能响应了，服务的健康监测、名字服务、负载均衡等措施需要一段时间才能感知到，如果请求量大，服务不可用依然会带来比较大的影响。
服务质量保证是不变的，所以别管用了什么运维手段，问题终究是问题，也是要解决的。
Go内存泄漏垃圾回收
自动内存管理减轻了开发人员管理内存的复杂性，不需要像C\C++开发者那样显示malloc、free，或者new、delete。垃圾回收借助于一些垃圾回收算法完成对无用内存的清理，垃圾回收算法有很多，比如：引用计数、标记清除、拷贝、分代等等。
Go中垃圾回收器采用的是“并发三色标记清除”算法，see:
Garbage Collection In Go : Part I - SemanticsGarbage Collection In Go : Part II - GC TracesGarbage Collection In Go : Part III - GC Pacing
Go语言支持自动内存管理，那还存在内存泄漏问题吗？
理论上，垃圾回收（gc）算法能够对堆内存进行有效的清理，这个是没什么可质疑的。但是要理解，垃圾回收能够正常运行的前提是，程序中必须解除对内存的引用，这样垃圾回收才会将其判定为可回收内存并回收。
内存泄漏场景
实际情况是，编码中确实存在一些场景，会造成“临时性”或者“永久性”内存泄露，是需要开发人员加深对编程语言设计实现、编译器特性的理解之后才能优化掉的，see：go memory leaking scenarios。
即便是临时性内存泄漏，考虑到有限的内存资源、内存申请大小、申请频率、释放频率因素，也会造成进程oom killed的结果。所以，开发人员对待每一行代码还是要心存敬畏，对待内存资源也还是要慎重。
常见的内存泄露场景，go101进行了讨论，总结了如下几种：
Kind of memory leaking caused by substringsKind of memory leaking caused by subslicesKind of memory leaking caused by not resetting pointers in lost slice elementsReal memory leaking caused by hanging goroutinesreal memory leadking caused by not stopping time.Ticker values which are not used any moreReal memory leaking caused by using finalizers improperlyKind of resource leaking by deferring function calls
简单归纳一下，还是“临时性”内存泄露和“永久性”内存泄露：
临时性泄露，指的是该释放的内存资源没有及时释放，对应的内存资源仍然有机会在更晚些时候被释放，即便如此在内存资源紧张情况下，也会是个问题。这类主要是string、slice底层buffer的错误共享，导致无用数据对象无法及时释放，或者defer函数导致的资源没有及时释放。永久性泄露，指的是在进程后续生命周期内，泄露的内存都没有机会回收，如goroutine内部预期之外的for-loop或者chan select-case导致的无法退出的情况，导致协程栈及引用内存永久泄露问题。内存泄露排查
初步怀疑程序存在内存泄露问题，可能是因为进程oom killed，或者是因为top显示内存占用持续增加无法稳定在一个合理值。不管如何发现的，明确存在这一问题之后，就需要及时选择合适的方法定位到问题的根源，并及时修复。
借助pprof排查pprof类型
go提供了pprof工具方便对运行中的go程序进行采样分析，支持对多种类型的采样分析：
goroutine - stack traces of all current goroutinesheap - a sampling of all heap allocationsthreadcreate - stack traces that led to the creation of new OS threadsblock - stack traces that led to blocking on synchronization primitivesmutex - stack traces of holders of contended mutexesprofile - cpu profiletrace - allows collecting all the profiles for a certain durationpprof操作
现在很多rpc框架有内置管理模块，允许访问管理端口通过/debug/pprof对服务进行采样分析（pprof会有一定的性能开销，最好分析前将负载均衡权重调低）。
集成pprof非常简单，只需要在工程中引入如下代码即可：
import _ "net/http/pprof"
go func() {
log.Println(http.ListenAndServe("localhost:6060", nil))
}()
然后运行go tool pprof进行采样：
go tool pprof -seconds=10 -http=:9999 localhost:6060/debug/pprof/heap
有时可能存在网络隔离问题，不能直接从开发机访问测试机、线上机器，或者测试机、线上机器没有安装go，那也可以这么做：
curl localhost:6060/debug/pprof/heap?seconds=30 > heap.out
# sz下载heap.out到本地
go tool pprof heap.out
go tool pprof可以收集两类采样数据：
in_use，收集进程当前仍在使用中的内存；alloc，收集自进程启动后的总的内存分配情况，包括已经释放掉的内存；
go tool pprof展示采样信息时，申请内存以“红色”显示，释放内存以“绿色”显示。
允许采样完成后打开一个浏览器页面（通过ip:port访问），交互式地查看采样结果信息，例如callgraph、flamegraph、top信息。
pprof示例：协程泄露
其中有2条红色的很醒目的路径，这是造成内存占用升高的主要路径，需要重点分析。以右边这条红色路径为例，最终走到了runtime.malg，碰到这个函数，联想前面总结的常见内存泄露场景，要有这样的意识：“这里可能涉及到goroutine泄露”，即goroutine创建了很多，但是goroutine没有正常执行结束，对应的协程使用的内存没有释放。
此时根据上述callgraph中的线索检查程序中启动goroutine的地方，以及goroutine是否有正常退出的逻辑保证，就能比较方便地定位到泄露原因了。
上述callgraph中展示了两条导致内存分配占用高的路径，但是其中左边一条可能是正常情况下的内存使用情况，而右边这条可能是异常情况。在分析阶段，我们需要有能力区分哪些内存分配是正常情况，哪些情况是异常情况。pprof提供了另外一个有用的选项-diff_base，我们可以在没有服务没有请求时采样30s生成一个采样文件，然后有请求时，我们再采样30s生成另一个采样文件，并将两个采样文件进行对比。这样就容易分析出请求出现时，到底发生了什么。
go tool pprof -http=':8081' \
-diff_base heap-new-16:22:04:N.out \
heap-new-17:32:38:N.out
这样问题看起来就更非常明确了，请求出现时处理请求的过程中启动了新协程执行处理。runtime.malg就是创建新协程，其内部会分配协程栈，这个栈在使用过程中会动态伸缩，并在协程退出时才会被销毁。
由pprof heap确定了存在goroutine泄露问题，但我们还不知道此goroutine在何处启动的，为此，我们继续pprof goroutine。
go tool pprof -seconds=10 \
-http=:8081 \
localhost:6060/debug/pprof/goroutines
现在通过上述callgraph我们很容易定位到goroutine是在哪里启动的了，回到源码中进一步确认：
var ticker = time.NewTicker(time.Second)
go func() {
for {
select {
case <-ticker.C:
// doSomething
}
}
}()
func somefunc(...) {
ticker.Stop()
}
原来当前协程因为ticker.C这个chan read操作阻塞了，需要注意的是time.Ticker.Stop()之后，ticker.C这个chan不会被关闭，最好在执行ticker.Stop()的时候，同时设置一个通知chan，close该chan来表示ticker停止。
var ticker = time.NewTicker(time.Second)
var chdone = make(chan int, 1)
go func() {
for {
select {
case <-ticker.C:
sa.read()
case <- chdone:
return
}
}
}()
func somefunc(...) {
ticker.Stop()
close(chdone)
}
这里介绍了pprof的使用方法，pprof是每个go开发人员都应该掌握的。希望读者借助这里的示例能帮助读者了解pprof的操作、分析过程，达到灵活运用的程度还需要日常开发工作中多实践。
借助bcc排查pprof：这个我干不了
pprof对于分析纯go程序是非常有帮助的，但是对于cgo有点无能为力，cgo部分的代码已经跳出了go内存分配器的范围，采样也没用，那cgo部分出现内存泄露该如何排查呢？
要确定进程是否出现了内存泄露，可以观察进程运行期间的内存占用情况，如借助top、free -m，或者其他运维平台的监控系统，一般k8s都集成了prometheus对容器运行情况进行了监视。如果内存占用随着时间延长一直增长，没有在合理的内存占用值附近稳定下来，或者已经出现了oom killed、容器重启的问题出现，则可以初步判定进程存在内存泄露；继续借助pprof工具排查go程序，如果pprof可以排查出明显的内存泄露问题，则内存泄漏问题可能是纯go部分代码引起，采用前面描述的分析、定位方法来解决；如果pprof工具采样之后，没有发现明显的内存泄露的端倪，且程序中存在cgo部分的代码，怀疑cgo部分的代码存在内存泄露，此时则需借助其他手段（pprof无能为力了）来进一步分析cgo部分的可能异常；库函数：hook库函数
要分析内存是否存在泄漏，也可以考虑自己hook一下库函数，自己实现这种我们就不展开讨论了。还是看看有没有趁手的好工具，能实实在在地、靠谱地帮我们解决实际问题（尽管趁手的工具也可能也是基于某种hook的能力实现的）。
Kernel：谁能逃脱我的法眼
内存分配操作，一般会借助一些库函数来完成，内存分配器也会做一些分配算法的优化，这里不关心这些，最终的内存申请操作还是要由操作系统来代劳，而请求内核服务的操作则是通过系统调用。
操作系统提供了一些服务，允许对运行中的进程进行观测，以Linux为例，借助ptrace系统调用+PTRACE_SYSCALL，允许我们对一个运行中的进程执行的所有系统调用进行观测，ltrace、strace就是在此基础上实现的。
eBPF（extended BPF）的前辈是BPF（Berkeley Packet Filtering），BPF是一个ByteCode VM，它的数据模型限制于packet，经常用来做一些包分析，经典的如tcpdump。eBPF相比BPF，其数据模型不再受限于单一的packet，也不再只是用来分析packet的单一功能，可以利用它将eBPF program挂到任意的tracepoint或者kprobe去执行分析处理。这一下子打开了eBPF的万花筒，使得能够对内核各个子系统做观测、做性能分析，等等。
各种测量、性能分析工具，真是亮瞎我的眼睛。
BCC (eBPF toolkit)：测量、性能分析
如何基于eBPF写eBPF program来完成希望的测量、分析呢，see iovisor/bcc：
BCC is a toolkit for creating efficient kernel tracing and manipulation programs, and includes several useful tools and examples. It makes use of extended BPF (Berkeley Packet Filters), formally known as eBPF, a new feature that was first added to Linux 3.15.
eBPF was described by Ingo Molnár as:
One of the more interesting features in this cycle is the ability to attach eBPF programs (user-defined, sandboxed bytecode executed by the kernel) to kprobes. This allows user-defined instrumentation on a live kernel image that can never crash, hang or interfere with the kernel negatively.
BCC makes BPF programs easier to write, with kernel instrumentation in C (and includes a C wrapper around LLVM), and front-ends in Python and lua. It is suited for many tasks, including performance analysis and network traffic control.
BCC算是一个开发套件，在它基础上开发eBPF program会更简单，该仓库内当前已经拥有了非常丰富的测量、分析工具，工具之丰富，只差我能不能全部掌握了，也想成为像Brendan Gregg一样的性能分析专家。
Brendan Gregg: Understanding all the Linux tracers to make a rational decision between them a huge undertaking. (I may be the only person who has come close to doing this.)
至于如何实现一个BCC工具，则非常简单，实际上就是写一个python文件，内部一个字符串包含一个c程序，c程序内调用封装的eBPF API，看一个简单的demo：
#file: hello-open-world-1.py
from bcc import BPF
program = """
#include // for struct pt_regs
#include // for mode_t
int kprobe__sys_open(struct pt_regs *ctx,
char __user* pathname, int flags, mode_t mode) {
bpf_trace_printk("sys_open called.\
");
return 0;
}
"""
b = BPF(text=program)
b.trace_print()
运行它：
$ sudo python hello-open-world-1.py
OK，BCC套件里面提供了工具memleak，用来对内存泄露进行分析，下面结合一个cgo内存泄露的示例分析，来了解下如何是使用。
建议能花点时间了解下linux tracing systems，see linux tracing systems & how they fit together ，理清下kprobe/uprobe/dtrace probes/kernel tracepoints的含义及工作原理，进而才能认识到eBPF的强大之处，不再展开了，看个示例。
BCC：内存泄露示例
下面先看一个cgo示例工程是如何组织的，示例项目取自
github/2Dou/cgo-example，您可以直接从这里下载。
c-so/
├── Makefile
├── add
│ ├── Makefile
│ ├── add.go
│ └── src
│ ├── add.c
│ └── add.h
└── main.go
上述工程中，add/src/下add.h/add.c实现了一个add函数，add/add.go中定义了可导出的函数Add(a, b int) int，内部通过cgo调用src下定义的int add(int, int)，add/Makefile将把add下的源文件整个编译构建打包成一个共享库文件libadd.so，供c-so/main.go调用。
c-so/main.go引用目录add下定义的package add中的Add函数，c-so/Makefile只是简单的go build编译动作，编译完成后./c-so运行会提示库文件libadd.so不存在，这是因为库路径加载问题，执行LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$(pwd -p) ./c-so即可，程序正常运行。
OK，现在简单地篡改下src/add.c，将其内容修改如下，插入了一段不停申请内存的代码：
#include "add.h"
#include
#include
#include
int add(int a, int b) {
/******* insert memory leakage start ********/
int i = 0;
int max = 0x7fffffff;
for (; i
int *p = (int *)malloc(sizeof(int) * 8);
sleep(1);
if (i % 2 == 0) {
free(p)
}
}
/******* insert memory leakage end ********/
return a+b;
}
现在重新执行make编译之后，再次运行，程序不断地malloc但是从来不free，内存一点点被泄露，现在我们看看如何借助memleak分析内存泄露的位置：
$ /usr/share/bcc/tools/memleak -p $(pid of c-so)
运行一段时间以后，memleak报告了内存分配的情况，显示的是“top10的还没有释放的内存分配”的位置信息：
Trace outstanding memory allocations that weren't freed.
Supports both user-mode allocations made with libc functions and kernel-mode allocations made with kmalloc/kmem_cache_alloc/get_free_pages and corresponding memory release functions.
从memleak报告的最后一条信息来看：
c-so这个程序运行过程中，调用了共享库libadd.so中的add函数；这个add函数执行了345+次内存分配操作，每次申请sizeof(int)*8 bytes，总共分配了11048次内存；内存分配malloc操作的位置大约就是add函数起始处+0x28的指令位置，可以通过objdump -dS libadd.so求证。
现在我们可以看到内存分配的位置、次数、内存数量，但是这个报告中报道的并非实际泄露的内存数量，比如我们也有free，怎么没有统计到呢？运行memleak -h查看下有哪些选项吧！
$ /usr/share/bcc/tools/memleak -p $(pid of c-so) -t
现在可以看到报告信息中包含了alloc entered/exited，free entered/exited，可以断定memleak也跟踪了内存释放，但是这里的报告还是不够直观，能否直接显示泄露的内存信息呢？可以但是要稍微修改下，下面看下实现，你会发现现有的报告信息也不妨碍分析。
bcc/memleak实现
不看下源码，总感觉心里有点虚，看下memleak这个eBPF program中的部分逻辑：
跟踪malloc：
int malloc_enter(struct pt_regs *ctx, size_t size)
\-> static inline int gen_alloc_enter(struct pt_regs *ctx, size_t size)
: 内部会更新被观测进程已分配的内存数量（sizes记录）
int malloc_exit(struct pt_regs *ctx)
\-> static inline int gen_alloc_exit(struct pt_regs *ctx)
\-> static inline int gen_alloc_exit2(struct pt_regs *ctx, u64 address)
：内部会记录当前申请的内存地址（allocs记录）
\-> stack_traces.get_stackid(ctx, STACK_FLAGS)
：记录当前内存分配动作的调用栈信息（allocs中记录）
跟踪free：
int free_enter(struct pt_regs *ctx, void *address)
\-> static inline int gen_free_enter(struct pt_regs *ctx, void *address)
：从allocs中删除已经释放的内存地址
memleak周期性地对allocs进行排序，并按照sizes分配内存多少降序排列打印出来，因为memleak同时跟踪了malloc、free，所以一段时间后，周期性打印的内存分配调用栈位置，即可以认为是没有释放掉（泄露掉）的内存分配位置。
借助pmap/gdb排查
这也是一种比较通用的排查方式，在排查内存泄露问题时，根据实际情况（比如环境问题无法安装go，bcc之类分析工具等等）甚至可考虑先通过pmap这种方式来分析一下。总之，灵活选择合适的方式吧。
内存及pmap基础
进程中的内存区域分类可以按下面几个维度来划分，如果对这个不熟，建议参考以下文章，see:
Memory TypesUnderstanding Process MemoryManaging Memory
Private Shared Anonymous stack
malloc
mmap(anon+private)
brk/sbrk mmap(anon+shared) File-backed mmap(fd, private)
binary/shared libraries mmap(fd, shared)
借助pmap可以查看进程内存空间分布情况，包括地址范围、大小、内存映射情况，如：
$ pmap -p # /proc//maps

上述命令只是输出信息的详细程度不同，在我们理解了进程的内存类型、pmap的使用之后，就可以对发生内存泄露的程序进行一定的分析。
排查示例：用例准备
比如现在写一个测试用的程序，目录结构如下：
leaks
|-- conf
| `-- load.go
|-- go.mod
|-- leaks
|-- main.go
`-- task
`-- load.go
file: main.go，该文件启动conf、task下的两个逻辑，conf.LoadConfig中启动一个循环，每次申请1KB内存并全部设置为字符C，task.NewTask启动一个循环，每次申请1KB内存并设置为字符T。 conf.LoadConfig循环体每次迭代间隔1s，task.NewTask循环体每次迭代间隔2s。
package main
import (
"leaks/conf"
"leaks/task"
)
func main() {
conf.LoadConfig("aaa")
task.NewTask("bbb")
select {}
}
file: conf/load.go:
package conf
import (
"time"
)
type Config struct {
A string
B string
C string
}
func LoadConfig(fp string) (*Config, error) {
kb := 1 << 10
go func() {
for {
p := make([]byte, kb, kb)
for i := 0; i < kb; i++ {
p[i] = 'C'
}
time.Sleep(time.Second * 1)
println("conf")
}
}()
return &Config{}, nil
}
file: task/load.go
package task
import (
"time"
)
type Task struct {
A string
B string
C string
}
func NewTask(name string) (*Task, error) {
kb := 1 << 10
// start async process
go func() {
for {
p := make([]byte, kb, kb)
for i := 0; i < kb; i++ {
p[i] = 'T'
}
time.Sleep(time.Second * 2)
println("task")
}
}()
return &Task{}, nil
}
然后编译构建 go build 输出可执行文件 leaks，大家可能注意到了，我这样的写法并没有什么特殊的，是会被garbage collector回收掉的，顶多是回收快慢而已。
是的，为了方便我们解释pmap排查方法的运用，我们假定这里的内存泄露掉了，怎么个假定法呢？我们关闭gc，运行程序的时候 GOGC=off ./leaks.
你可以用 top -p $(pidof leaks) 验证下RSS飞涨。
排查示例：搜索可疑内存区
比如，你发现有段anon内存区域，它的占用内存数量在增加，或者这样的区段数量再增加（可以对比前后两次的pmap输出来发现）:
$ pmap -x $(pidof leaks) > 1.txt
$ pmap -x $(pidof leaks) > 2.txt

我们注意到起始地址为000000c000000000 和 00007f26010ad000的区间，RSS内存数量涨了，这说明这里物理内存占用增加了，在明确程序存在内存泄露的前提下，这样的内存区域可以作为可疑内存区去分析一下。或者，是有连续的大内存区块，也是待分析的可疑对象，或者这样的内存区块数量比较多，也应该作为可疑的分析对象。
找到可疑内存区域之后，就尝试里面的内容导出，导出后再借助strings、hexdump等工具进行分析，通常会打印出一些字符串相关的信息，一般这些信息会帮我们联想起，这些数据大约对应着程序中的哪些数据结构、代码逻辑。
先执行 gdb -p $(pidof leaks) attach 目标进程，然后执行下面两条命令导出可疑内存区：
gdb> dump binary memory leaks.p1 0x000000c000000000 0x000000c000000000+131072*1024
gdb> dump binary memory leaks.p2 0x00007f26010ad000 0x00007f26010ad000+39816*1024
然后尝试用strings或者hexdump
$ strings leaks.p1

通过这里的输出，假定这里的输出的一些字符串信息CCCCCCC or TTTTTTTTT是一些更有意义的信息，那它可能帮助我们和程序中的一些数据结构、代码逻辑建立起联系，比如看到这里的字符串C，就想到了配置加载conf.LoadConfig，看到字符串T，就想到了task.NewTask，然后进去追查一下一般也能定位到问题所在。
使用 gcore转储整个进程，原理类似，gcore会在转储完后立即detach进程，比手动dump速度快，对traced进程的影响时间短，但是转储文件一般比较大（记得ulimit -c设置下），core文件使用hexdump分析的时候也可以选择性跳过一些字节，以分析感兴趣的可疑内存区。
其他方式
内存泄露的排查方式有很多，工具也有很多，比如比较有名的valgrind，但是我测试过程中，valgrind没有像bcc那样精确地定位到内存泄露的位置，可能是我的使用方式有问题。see debugging cgo memory leaks，感兴趣的可以自己研究下。这里就不再展开了。
总结
本文介绍了内存泄露相关的定位分析方法，虽然是面向go开发介绍的，但是也不局限于go，特别是ebpf-memleak的应用，应用面应该会比较广。eBPF对Linux内核版本是有严格要求的，使用过程中也需要注意，eBPF的优势在于它为观测、测量提供了强大的基础支持，所以bcc才会有那么多的分析工具，是不可多得利器。
本文也算是自己对eBPF的一个初步尝试吧，希望掌握它对自己以后的工作有帮助。开发人员手上可以用的工具不少，但是真的好用、省心的也没有那么多，如果能bcc一行代码定位到位置，我想我也不会愿意pmap、gdb gcore、gdb dump、strings+hexdump...来分析内存泄露位置，当然如果情况不允许，比如内核版本不支持bcc，那还是灵活选择合适的方式。
除了掌握上述分析方法，解决已经引入的内存泄露问题，研发流程上也应该多关注上线前测试、CR等基础的规范，尽量将一些问题前置，早发现早解决。
