Facebook has developed tooling to help quickly find and debug several classes of concurrency bugs in Facebook's large C++ codebase. In this talk, we will focus specifically on deadlocks and the tools we use to detect and prevent them. We will explore the various tools we use — some open source tools we have deployed and some we have developed — and how they work by walking through several examples of real-world bugs found by these tools in Facebook's large production systems.

Topics include:
* How we deploy and utilize ThreadSanitizer on Facebook's large codebase
* Linux eBPF tools to detect potential deadlocks on running binaries
* gdb extensions to examine mutex internals to detect deadlocks
* folly::Synchronized and other libraries that make it more difficult to introduce concurrency bugs
