Debian (9.1) machine freeze after running "sudo ./a.out" #23

Closed CiraciNicolo closed 2 years ago

Type of this issue (please specify)

This is a support matter (i.e. your own modified tree). I've removed CPU_DYING because it is not supported anymore.

System information

  1. CPU: Intel (Codename: i5-4278U)
  2. Kernel: Linux
  3. Kernel version: 4.9.0-3-amd64

    Issue description

After running sudo ./a.out the machine freeze, I was able to understand that "ioctl" causes the freeze. Since the machine just become unresponsive there is no logs,

Comment out the code in ept_memory_type() function and make it just return EPT_MT_WRITEBACK, see if that fixes it.

I'm still experiencing the problem, also when compiling I get this warning:

ksm/exit.c: In function ‘vcpu_sync_idt’:
ksm/exit.c:2099:1: warning: the frame size of 4112 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
 }
asamy commented 7 years ago

This warning is a false positive. The host stack is 2 4-KByte pages in size. I am not entirely sure what could be the issue, this might be related to #22.

Are you testing on VM or baremetal? What is your RAM capacity?

CiraciNicolo commented 7 years ago

I'm testing on baremetal, 8 GB of RAM. Looking into #22, esoterix's comment can lead somewhere?

asamy commented 7 years ago

No, commit 85a228dffd5d6559879008b22f4fac0dad8fe542 fixes what he pointed out.

asamy commented 7 years ago

Someone reported that disabling some VMCS controls fixes the freeze, but he hasn't pointed out which one is faulty.

Since I can't reproduce this freeze at all myself, can you disable one by one and let me know here which is faulty?

He pointed out removing all bits in req_cpuctl fixes it, but it could be a control in secondary control that is faulty since cpu control is what enables secondary controls.

CiraciNicolo commented 7 years ago

I'm been able to get the stack frame of the crash via tty, we get a GPF. I've attached an image because I can't get the txt log. (sorry for the quality) img_0473

CiraciNicolo commented 6 years ago

I found out that after a while, the machine unfreeze. I don't understand what is happening.

asamy commented 6 years ago

I had this issue before with ept_memory_type, I just decided to comment it out without actually looking at the issue. From the binary you provided, it's not commented out like I suggested you do before, so please do so and let me know here just to confirm.

Have it like this:

#if 0
    int i;
    struct mtrr_range *range;
    u8 type = 0xff;

    for (i = 0; i < k->mtrr_count; ++i) {
        range = &k->mtrr_ranges[i];
        if (!in_bounds(gpa, range->start, range->end))
            continue;

        if (range->fixed || range->type == EPT_MT_UNCACHABLE)
            return range->type;

        if (range->type == EPT_MT_WRITETHROUGH && type == EPT_MT_WRITEBACK)
            type = EPT_MT_WRITETHROUGH;
        else
            type = range->type;
    }

    if (type == 0xff)
        type = k->mtrr_def;

    return type;
#else
    return EPT_MT_WRITEBACK;
#endif
hmkawakami commented 6 years ago

I was having the same issue, and I just found the problem. The MAX_RANGES in mm.h was too small. I had 10 physical memory regions, and MAX_RANGES default value is 8.

CiraciNicolo commented 6 years ago

Actually I commented it but since it didn't fix the issue I decommended it. I tested it right now, and the um.c don't freeze anymore but I get 

subvert: Invalid argument
ret: 0xFFFFFFFF

EDIT: I rerun a.out and another freeze

CiraciNicolo commented 6 years ago

I rune again but this time the machine did not froze, and I was able to get this from dmegs:

Set EPTP_INIT_USED (ksm.h) to 1, see if that fixes it.

CiraciNicolo commented 6 years ago

Still freezes

asamy commented 6 years ago

That physical memory range output is weird when you said you have 8 GB of RAM. Are you using VM now or something?

Maybe it's not pre-allocating physical RAM like it should, so it's getting a lot of EPT violations to allocate them and that causes the freeze. Maybe the code that gets the physical memory ranges is faulty...

Regardless, assuming those are the physical memory ranges you have (i.e. the output matches the actual ranges), then those are not enough.

CiraciNicolo commented 6 years ago

Yeah, now I'm using a VM so I don't have to reboot every time the machine freeze.

asamy commented 6 years ago

So, I tested today and I haven't been able to reproduce. Both on VM and baremetal (Both Windows 10 & Linux 4.13.8-1), the only difference is my CPU is an i7-5550U (Broadwell).

Have you been able to find some other clue other than the double crash? Can you disable features until you find something out of ordinary?

Good morning sir, I've gotten the same 'freeze' issue on 'Ubuntu 16.04.1' (kernel version is '4.15.0-29-generic'), when I'm trying to run 'sudo ./a.out', the VM will be froze.

BUT, I've found something interesting out of the blue:

  1. Another code also freeze.
  2. code can entry VMX-host, but not always.

so, I guess that maybe the code has been swapped to disk. My VM memory range is 2GB.
