Linux stack walker does not know how to unwind through a trampoline #476

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Build Linux Breakpad, then take the attached program / header file and build it:

g++ -g example.cc -I path/to/breakpad/src 
path/to/breakpad/src/client/linux/libbreakpad_client.a -lpthread

Run the program on a Linux distro with seccomp filtering enabled, like Ubuntu 
12.04. The program should crash and make a Breakpad crash dump.

Breakpad's minidump_stackwalk doesn't know how to walk past the trampoline:

Thread 0 (crashed)
 0  seccomp_ex!install_sigsys_handler [example.cc : 98 + 0x7]
    ...
    Found by: given as instruction pointer in context
 1  libpthread-2.15.so + 0xfcaf
    ...
    Found by: call frame info

whereas if we convert the Breakpad dump to core using minidump-2-core, gdb 
knows how to do it:

#0  install_sigsys_handler ...
#1  <signal handler called>
#2 ...

Just repro'd this with breakpad r1375, gdb 7.8-gg1, linux 3.13.0-35-generic on 
Ubuntu 14.04. I'll try to dig into how gdb is able to unwind past the signal 
handler and why breakpad's getting stuck on it.

Brain dumping some info here; mostly for my own reference, and maybe useful to 
others.

Linux's kernel_sigaction struct contains an sa_restorer field, which the kernel 
uses to setup the return address for a signal handler call frame. glibc's 
sigaction() sets this to __restore_rt, which is in libpthread.so (hence why 
breakpad unwinds there before giving up). The restorer code is responsible for 
calling sigreturn().

gdb has two mechanisms for detecting signal frames: 1) if the DWARF CIE 
augmentation string contains the 'S' character, or 2) if it unwinds and finds a 
function named "__restore_rt", or if it finds a function named "sigaction" and 
the next instructions are "mov $__NR_rt_sigreturn, %rax; syscall". (See 
gdb/amd64-linux-tdep.c.)

However, the signal frame detection only seems to affect whether unwinding 
should return to PC or to PC-1, and I think either should generally be okay.

stackwalker_amd64.cc (and probably others) has a check "If the new stack 
pointer is at a lower address than the old, then that's clearly incorrect."  
But I don't think that's necessarily true if we use sigaltstack() and the 
signal stack is at a higher address in memory (i.e., then unwinding would jump 
to a lower address); I think this happens to work currently because in Chrome 
only the main thread in a process (whose stack will always(?) be allocated 
high) uses an alternate stack, whereas additional threads (whose stacks are 
dynamically allocated) handle their signals on the main stack.

Running dump_syms on libpthread-2.19.so gives a bunch of warnings like:

/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread-2.19.so, section '.eh_frame': the call frame 
entry at offset 0x3130 uses a DWARF expression to describe how to recover

Also, I get different results if I run dump_syms on 
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread-2.19.so vs 
/usr/lib/debug/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread-2.19.so. It probably needs to be 
made aware of .gnu_debuglink?

For dump_syms, you need to run "dump_syms 
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread-2.19.so /usr/lib/debug/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu" 
for it to pick up the .gnu_debuglink.

Oops, dump_syms already supports gnu_debuglink, I just needed to explicitly 
tell it where to find the debug version of the file.

Looking closer at the DWARF expressions that are failing, most of them (and in 
particular all of the ones that affect __restore_rt) are simple one or two 
instruction programs. Relevant excerpt from "readelf --dump-debug=frames 
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread-2.19.so":

000031a8 000000000000007c 0000001c FDE cie=00003190 
pc=000000000001033f..0000000000010349
  DW_CFA_def_cfa_expression (DW_OP_breg7 (rsp): 160; DW_OP_deref)
  DW_CFA_expression: r8 (r8) (DW_OP_breg7 (rsp): 40)
  DW_CFA_expression: r9 (r9) (DW_OP_breg7 (rsp): 48)
  DW_CFA_expression: r10 (r10) (DW_OP_breg7 (rsp): 56)
  DW_CFA_expression: r11 (r11) (DW_OP_breg7 (rsp): 64)
  DW_CFA_expression: r12 (r12) (DW_OP_breg7 (rsp): 72)
  DW_CFA_expression: r13 (r13) (DW_OP_breg7 (rsp): 80)
  DW_CFA_expression: r14 (r14) (DW_OP_breg7 (rsp): 88)
  DW_CFA_expression: r15 (r15) (DW_OP_breg7 (rsp): 96)
  DW_CFA_expression: r5 (rdi) (DW_OP_breg7 (rsp): 104)
  DW_CFA_expression: r4 (rsi) (DW_OP_breg7 (rsp): 112)
  DW_CFA_expression: r6 (rbp) (DW_OP_breg7 (rsp): 120)
  DW_CFA_expression: r3 (rbx) (DW_OP_breg7 (rsp): 128)
  DW_CFA_expression: r1 (rdx) (DW_OP_breg7 (rsp): 136)
  DW_CFA_expression: r0 (rax) (DW_OP_breg7 (rsp): 144)
  DW_CFA_expression: r2 (rcx) (DW_OP_breg7 (rsp): 152)
  DW_CFA_expression: r7 (rsp) (DW_OP_breg7 (rsp): 160)
  DW_CFA_expression: r16 (rip) (DW_OP_breg7 (rsp): 168)

So I think we could pretty easily recognize these handful of limited 
instruction patterns and be able to generate

   .cfa: $rsp 160 + ^
   $r8: $rsp 40 +
   $r9: $rsp 48 +
   ...

for the breakpad syms files.  If that sounds right, I'll work on a CL.

I hacked together something to recognize DW_OP_bregN optionally followed by 
DW_OP_deref, and now running dump_syms on libpthread-2.19.so, I get this entry 
for __restore_rt:

STACK CFI INIT 1033f a $r10: $rsp 56 + ^ $r11: $rsp 64 + ^ $r12: $rsp 72 + ^ 
$r13: $rsp 80 + ^ $r14: $rsp 88 + ^ $r15: $rsp 96 + ^ $r8: $rsp 40 + ^ $r9: 
$rsp 48 + ^ $rax: $rsp 144 + ^ $rbp: $rsp 120 + ^ $rbx: $rsp 128 + ^ $rcx: $rsp 
152 + ^ $rdi: $rsp 104 + ^ $rdx: $rsp 136 + ^ $rsi: $rsp 112 + ^ $rsp: $rsp 160 
+ ^ .cfa: $rsp 160 + ^ .ra: $rsp 168 + ^

and when I run the sample program and then run minidump_stackwalk, I get a full 
stack trace past the signal handler frame:

So I'll work on cleaning that up and then mail a CL.
