What it does

It adds Rubocop as a default tool for style guidelines. Some rules are relaxed because even if they "should" be enforced, at this stage they slow us our review / development cycle. We may enforce other rules later.

Note

  • I've used our chef repositories to find a kind of "common" .rubocop.yml
  • you "may" skip all other files because I've used the automated correction available in rubocop (only formatting styles in this PR)
  • some methods are weird because of the current variables naming. I'll work on that at the end of Rails integration

these are just dev deps right?

Yes. Actually the tracer requires third-party libraries only for development: https://github.com/DataDog/dd-trace-rb/pull/3/files#diff-b06e29a984e208fededfd0c6e60ca9ecR35

When the GEM is created, these dependencies are not installed.

**What does this PR do?**

This PR raises the minimum Ruby version required for heap profiling from
the previous value of >= 2.7 to >= 3.1 due to a new VM bug discovered
(see below for details).

It's mostly a revert of #3366, where we had first tried to workaround
a Ruby 2.7/3.0 bug, but it turns out we missed a spot, and we
could trigger VM crashes because of that.

**Motivation:**

Ruby versions prior to 3.1 had a special optimization called
`rb_gc_force_recycle` which would allow objects to directly be
garbage collected (e.g. without needing to wait for the GC).

It turns out that `rb_gc_force_recycle` did not play well with the
changes in Ruby 2.7 to how object ids worked. We uncovered this earlier
on during the development of the heap profiler, and put in a workaround
for the bug that we thought was enough...

Unfortunately, it turns out that the workaround is not enough. The
following reproducer, when run on Ruby 2.7 or 3.0 shows how the Ruby VM
can segfault inside `id2ref` due to the issue above:

```ruby
puts RUBY_DESCRIPTION

require "datadog"
require "objspace"
require "pry"

NUM_OBJECTS = 10_000_000

recycled_ids = Array.new(NUM_OBJECTS) { 123 }
many_objects = Array.new(NUM_OBJECTS) { Object.new }

(0...NUM_OBJECTS).each do |i|
  recycled_ids[i] = many_objects[i].object_id
end

puts "Seeded objects!"
gets

(0...NUM_OBJECTS).each do |i|
  Datadog::Profiling::StackRecorder::Testing._native_gc_force_recycle(many_objects[i])
  many_objects[i] = nil
end

puts GC.stat

puts "Recycled objects!"
gets

many_objects = nil

10.times { GC.start }
Array.new(10_000) { Object.new }
10.times { GC.start }

puts GC.stat

puts "GC'd objects! (Ruby should have released pages?)"
gets

recycled_ids.each { |i|
  begin
    (nil == ObjectSpace._id2ref(i))
  rescue
    nil
  end
}
puts "Done!"
```

Crash details:

```
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
is_swept_object (ptr=93825033355200, objspace=<optimised out>) at gc.c:3868
3868	    return page->flags.before_sweep ? FALSE : TRUE;
(gdb) bt
 #0  is_swept_object (ptr=93825033355200, objspace=<optimised out>) at gc.c:3868
 #1  is_garbage_object (objspace=0x55555555d220, objspace=0x55555555d220, ptr=93825033355200) at gc.c:3887
 #2  is_live_object (ptr=93825033355200, objspace=0x55555555d220) at gc.c:3909
 #3  is_live_object (ptr=93825033355200, objspace=0x55555555d220) at gc.c:3898
 #4  id2ref (objid=8264881) at gc.c:3999
 #5  os_id2ref (os=<optimised out>, objid=<optimised out>) at gc.c:4019
```

This crash happens because of two things:

1. Ruby does not clean the object id entry for a recycled object
   from its internal hash map
2. If the memory page where the object lived is returned back to the
   OS, trying to `id2ref` on that id will cause Ruby to try to read
   invalid memory and crash.

**Additional Notes:**

I've chosen to disable heap profiling on 2.7 and 3.0 because
I can't think of a good workaround for the bug above, especially
not one that does not increase the overhead of heap profiling.

**How to test the change?**

This PR updates the test coverage to expect Ruby 3.1+ as the
minimum for the feature.

You can also quickly validate it doesn't get enabled on the older
Rubies using:

```
$ DD_PROFILING_ENABLED=true DD_PROFILING_EXPERIMENTAL_HEAP_ENABLED=true bundle exec ddprofrb exec ruby -e "puts RUBY_DESCRIPTION"
W, [2024-12-02T10:42:28.771611 #112585]  WARN -- datadog: [datadog] Current Ruby version
(3.0.5) cannot support heap profiling due to VM bugs/limitations. Please upgrade to Ruby
>= 3.1 in order to use this feature. Heap profiling has been disabled.
