rustc build core dump on OpenBSD #31363

semarie · 2016-02-02T10:18:40Z

I am investigating a core dump issue (rustc compiler crash without panic) under OpenBSD during the build. The segfault occurs at stage2 during libcore building.

It seems to occurs occasionnally on OpenBSD buildhost.

Note that rustc under OpenBSD use system malloc(3), that comes with several security options (see http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi/OpenBSD-current/man5/malloc.conf.5).

Backtrace of one build:

@dhuseby Bitrig is relatively similar to OpenBSD. Do you have any problems with building recent tree of rustc under Bitrig ? If no, could you try to build one using export MALLOC_OPTIONS=S in your environment ?

dhuseby · 2016-02-02T21:51:13Z

@semarie I do sometimes get segfaults building rustc on Bitrig. I'll give the MALLOC_OPTIONS=S a shot. Thanks for the suggestion.

nbaksalyar · 2016-02-03T17:21:12Z

Hm, that's interesting.
I stumbled upon the same issue with str::from_utf8 segfault on Illumos (with the same backtrace), but I thought that the issue is related only to that platform.

@semarie, could you please try to check it with optimization turned off? You can do that by adding CFG_DISABLE_OPTIMIZE to your config.mk. It helped in my case.

Also, could you please provide an output from gdb's disassemble command?
I have a suspicion that it's somehow related to PR #30740 and the generated machine code is incorrect, because here's the part that segfaults in my case (it relates to run_utf8_validation function, I guess):

0x00000000004a533c <+44>:    lea    0x0(%rsi,%riz,1),%esi
0x00000000004a5340 <+48>:    movzbl (%rsi,%rcx,1),%r15d

For some reason it removes the most significant bits of $rsi (i.e. making 0x0000000089abcdef out of 0x0123456789abcdef). I haven't found why yet, but that would be very helpful to compare it with OpenBSD.

semarie · 2016-02-03T17:54:45Z

@nbaksalyar here the disassemble (for a failure at 0x00000a4f69b44fd0)

0x00000a4f69b44fcc <_ZN3str9from_utf820hf64d73b10248ef4bdYRE+44>:       lea    0x0(%rsi),%esi
0x00000a4f69b44fd0 <_ZN3str9from_utf820hf64d73b10248ef4bdYRE+48>:       movzbl (%rsi,%rcx,1),%r15d

I will test to build with CFG_DISABLE_OPTIMIZE. Thanks for the possible workaround.

nbaksalyar · 2016-02-03T18:02:32Z

@semarie, thanks! Looks like it's the same problem - lea nullifies a part of the %esi register, so the segfault is a natural consequence.
Perhaps this issue is present on other BSDs as well, so it's worth to try finding the root cause.
I'll try bisect builds with and without that PR I linked.

semarie · 2016-02-03T18:53:26Z

Due to backtrace I have take a look at run_utf8_validation too. I also tried to fuzzing it (copying all related code in test.rs file and looping on random values), but without success to expose bad behaviour.

Another possible cause is the update of LLVM (#30448) that touched to unwinding (the backtrace has part with sys_commun::unwind)

@alexcrichton does this problem say something to you ?

alexcrichton · 2016-02-03T19:26:26Z

In theory that PR shouldn't have tampered with unwinding for Unix platforms at all (it should be the same as it was before), but the segfault does sound... bad?

semarie · 2016-02-04T07:52:05Z

I have done several tests (but I will continue in this direction to ensure) around the LLVM update:

building rustc (based on ef1a13b) with the 3 commits reverted
building rustc (based on 54664f1) with explicit --llvm-root pointing to previous LLVM version (src/llvm submodule cde1ed3196ba9b39bcf028e06e08a8722113a5cb).

In all cases I don't expose the core dump issue again. I will continue to test in this direction as I am unsure that the problem is systematic.

The fact that I could build and run with just another LLVM version (without reverting the commits) makes me think it could be a LLVM bug ? I dunno for now.

semarie · 2016-02-04T14:17:13Z

I have done against several builds with the previous src/llvm submodule (3564439), and I don't get any problem. My builds passes the testsuite too.

BTW, I tried building the latest with the MALLOC_OPTIONS=S and I'm still getting segfaults.

semarie · 2016-02-06T05:33:14Z

@dhuseby you missed the point I think: the purpose of testing build with MALLOC_OPTIONS=S was to check if you get segfaults systematically (in opposition to "segfault sometimes" without it).

But for now, I think the issue could be a bug somewhere in code generation (in LLVM or in rustc, I dunno).

semarie · 2016-02-06T05:41:38Z

@steveklabnik could you update labels ?

For now, it is clear that segfaults occurs systematically on Illumos and on OpenBSD, and occasionally only (@dhuseby do you confirm my understanding ?) on Bitrig
The problem seems related to code generation

I confirm that reverting the LLVM patch rL253557 ("Alternative to long nops for X86 CPUs") permit to solve the issue (build and testsuite).

The initial purpose is to workaround the LLVM bug https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=26554 for OpenBSD. By default, the `cpu' is defined to `generic`. But with a 64bit processor, the optimization for `generic` will use invalid asm code as NOP (the generated code for NOP isn't a NOP). According to rust-lang#20777, "x86-64" is the right thing to do for x86_64 builds. Closes: rust-lang#31363
