r324870 breaks boot on amd64 with WITNESS (was "svn commit: r324870 - in head/sys: amd64/include kern")

2017-10-22 Thread Ngie Cooper (yaneurabeya)
All,
I highly advise not upgrading to this revision if you use WITNESS. 
Please see the attached message for more details and reply to the commit log.

How does llvm unwinder detects that the return address is a garbage ?


It just stops unwinding when it can't find frame information (stored in
.eh_frame sections).  GCC unwinder doesn't give up yet and checks if the
return address points to the signal trampoline (which means the current
frame is that of a signal handler).  It has built-in knowledge of how to
unwind to the signal trampoline frame.

So llvm just gives up on signal frames ?
   

A noreturn attribute isn't enough.  You can still unwind such functions.
They are allowed to throw exceptions for example.

Ok.
   

I did consider using
a CFI directive (see patch below) and it works, but it's architecture
specific and it's inserted after the function prologue so there's still
a window of a few instructions where a stack unwinder will try to use
the return address.

I like this approach much more than the previous patch.  What can be
done is to provide asm trampoline which calls thread_start().  There you
can add the .cfi_undefined right at the entry.

It is somewhat more work than just setting the return address on the
kernel-constructed pseudo stack frame, but I believe this is ultimately
correct way.  You still can do it only on some arches, if you do not
have incentive to code asm for all of them.

Also crt1 probably should get the same treatment, despite we already set
%rbp to zero AFAIR.


Did some commit result out of this discussion or is this subject still
under investigation?

Curious because I got this gcc PR:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=82635


If I add the above to lib/libthr/thread/thr_create.c the mentioned PR works.


Sorry, but I didn't and won't have time to work on this.


Np.


Ideally I think there should be a function attribute to mark functions
as entry points.  The compiler would add ".cfi_undefined %rip" to such
functions (and maybe optimise the function prologue because there are
no caller registers that need to be preserved).  If you have connections
in the GCC community maybe you could discuss that with them.


Well, from my understanding I'd have to teach every compiler to do so, 
right? (Beside that I do not know how to.)


I think we need another solution to find out if an unwind context is 
garbage.


I'll take a look at how llvm does this w/o segfaulting.

Thx,
Andreas

I believe the suggested patch would have to be made to the bhyve
host.  Also on the host and guest what are the values of
sysctl kern.timecounter.tc.HPET
sysctl kern.timecounter.tc.i8254

Getting good ntpd behavior in a VM guest of any kind is sometimes a
non trivial thing to do.

 NTPD behaves more normally on uniprocessor VMs.

 A FreeBSD bhyve-guest running on a freebsd host will select a
 different timecounter depending on whether it is a multiprocessor or a
 uniprocessor.  My uniprocessor bhyve-vm selected TSC-low as the best
 timecounter in a uniprocessor.  NTP functions there as expected.

 kern.timecounter.choice: TSC-low(1000) ACPI-fast(900) HPET(950) i8254(0) 
 dummy(-100)
 kern.timecounter.hardware: TSC-low

 The very same VM, when given two total CPUs, selected HPET (if I
 recall) and the timekeeping with NTPD was unreliable, with many
 step-resets to the clock.

NP, that's OK.

However, the host is busy now, and I'll have an opportunity to test host
only tomorrow evening.

I've tried the patch (at bhyve guest) and nothing has changed. Should
the patched system be tested at bhyve guest or bhyve host?
