Fetching ntdll symbols for syscall auto-generation failing

[Omegastick]

Similar to #2126, I think, but for a different version (1903).

When running Dr Memory, I get the following output:

~~Dr.M~~ Dr. Memory version 2.2.0

1903 is supported. This is a failure to load symbols which is how DrMemory now supports the frequent Win10 major version updates.

Does your machine not have outside network access?

Please run with -vvv.

[Omegastick]

My internet is working fine on this machine, I'm not sure why it can't download the symbols.

Running with -vvv prints the following, then hangs (running without -vvv doesn't hang, it just prints the messages in my original issue within a few seconds).

I left it for a few minutes, but maybe it's just a big download. I'll try again and leave it overnight (my internet is pretty fast here though, so it shouldn't be a download speed problem).

I'll look into getting the symbols manually.

[lamonosa]

Hi, is there any progress about the issue? I'm facing the same problem, for version 2301

[derekbruening]

I can't reproduce this and it's not clear what is causing the problem. If you could walk through in the debugger as discussed below:

The symbols are downloaded from the Microsoft symbol server with this code:

https://github.com/DynamoRIO/drmemory/blob/master/drsyscall/pdb2sysfile.cpp#L482

https://github.com/DynamoRIO/dynamorio/blob/master/libutil/dr_frontend_win.c#L505

The error without -vvv:

Failed to fetch symbols for C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll: error 1

Error code 1 is unfortunately the vague DRFRONT_ERROR. Looking at the code, it is probably a failure in sym_load_module_func which should point at dbghelp.dll!SymLoadModuleExW, whose docs are here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/dbghelp/nf-dbghelp-symloadmoduleex

I would suggest walking through that code in a debugger to see where it fails and to look at the Windows GetLastError.

frontend.c for -vvv calls drfront_set_verbose(3) so the NOTIFY would show up if reached: so it seems to be hanging in the dbghelp.dll!SymLoadModuleExW call which seems odd when the same call, which is no different without -vvv, returned failure before??

[derekbruening]

That's a different error from what the poster of the issue is hitting:

  failed to fetch pdb for C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll, exports only

Is there no network access on that machine?

Does symbol loading work with the separate MS tools? E.g., something like this, depending on where you have symchk.exe:

c:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Debuggers\x86\symchk.exe /v /od /os /ot /ov /ob c:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll /s 'srv*C:\Users\11471\AppData\Roaming\Dr. Memory\symcache\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols'

[lefty2]

I think there are two problems here, first dr. memory needs to be put on the firewall whitelist, so it can download the symbols. The second problem is the crash. There seems to be no solution to that

[derekbruening]

The second problem is the crash.

The exit code 0xc000a004 is STATUS_INVALID_KERNEL_INFO_VERSION and is deliberately returned here by Dr. Memory, so it is part of the same issue with the missing symbols.

[lefty2]

If you allow it to download the symbols, then that error goes away, but you then have a different error not related to missing symbols:

I can confirm that issue is present on the newest DrMemory & Win10. Luckly you can ignore it with "ignore_kernel"

This issue has tag "Status-NeedInfo" - let me know how could I provide additional info that can be usefull?

We have not been able to reproduce any of these symbol loading failures. As you can see above (https://github.com/DynamoRIO/drmemory/issues/2232#issuecomment-642143003, ,https://github.com/DynamoRIO/drmemory/issues/2232#issuecomment-666340600) I suggested several routes to help figure out what is going on: walking through in the debugger; seeing whether symchk by itself works. Is it a firewall or other local network issue specific to your setup that is stopping symbol downloading?

[mrozo94]

Is it a firewall or other local network issue specific to your setup that is stopping symbol downloading?

Even with the firewall disabled, I can't download symbols. I'll try to check other things you mentioned in some free time.

I have some more information about this issue: We can reproduce this issue as well when running with jenkins. However doing a manual run works fine. As I use the same user in both cases IMO it must be a difference between starting the run from a service or from console.

Im hitting this issue.

I tried to run: c:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Debuggers\x86\symchk.exe /v /od /os /ot /ov /ob c:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll /s 'srv*C:\Users\11471\AppData\Roaming\Dr. Memory\symcache\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols' but had to switch the single quotes on the /s parameter to double quotes.

I then get an HTTP to HTTPs redirect error:

SYMSRV:  HTTPGET: /download/symbols/index2.txt
SYMSRV:  HttpQueryInfo: 80190194 - HTTP_STATUS_NOT_FOUND
SYMSRV:  HTTPGET: /download/symbols/ntdll.pdb/3359C2C66D31CC534A1D2A8C5DCCC4971/ntdll.pdb
SYMSRV:  HttpSendRequest: 800C2F07 - ERROR_INTERNET_HTTP_TO_HTTPS_ON_REDIR
SYMSRV:  RESULT: 0x800C2F07
DBGHELP: ntdll - no symbols loaded

Changing it to https makes it work just fine

The Drmemory log seems to indicate that it's pointed at the http url: drfront_set_symbol_search_path: set symbol search path to srv*C:\Users\bill_easton\AppData\Roaming\Dr. Memory\symcache\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
