misc/cgo/test: 'signal arrived during external code execution' with updated windows/386 builder #53540

thanm · 2022-06-24T16:42:55Z

What version of Go are you using (`go version`)?

main branch tip
go version go1.19-pre4 cl/455575533 +12f49fe0ed

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (`go env`)?

windows/386, specifically the new builder with update windows image and compilers, for example windows-386-2012-newcc.

What did you do?

ran the misc/cgo/test as part of all.bat

What did you expect to see?

clean run

What did you see instead?

Representative slowbot failure:

The test fails with this failure mode:

I am not sure what the root cause is here, needs to be debugged.

Cherry helped me with some debugging and was able to reduce the test case down to this:

package main

// #include <stdio.h>
// int x = 123;
// void F() { printf("hello %d\n", x); }
import "C"

func main() {
  C.F()
}

By comparing external linking (works) with internal linking (crashes) she found that the C function printf generated from the C fragment above contains an indirect call to the data symbol "__imp____acrt_iob_func". Here's the code:

$ llvm-objdump-13 -t -l -d -r xxx/tmpdir/go-build2751358927/b001/_x002.o

Note the call at _printf+0x2a: it loads the data symbol and then branches to the loaded value.

However this data symbol is being renamed to "__acrt_iob_func" (a text symbol) as a result of CL 382837. Prior to CL 382837 the host object loader would always rename "__imp_XXX" to "XXX" except for the specific case of "__imp____acrt_iob_func"; after 382837 we always do the renaming except for when there is a local def in the same PE file.

Because of the bad rename, the code loads up data from the function itself and then tries to branch to it (crash).

I tried restoring the special case for "__imp____acrt_iob_func" that was present before CL 382837. With that change in place, there is no longer a crash at that spot, but a new crash with a very similar failure mode:

I inspected the resulting executable. The call to "0x4d8208" is happening from the mingw function ___mingw_pformat. Here's a partial disassembly of the offending function from the linked binary:

004015e0 <libmingwex(.text)>:

...

I tracked down the object file that this is coming from in libmingwex.a, and dumped out the function there with relocations:

00000000 <___mingw_pformat>:

...

I don't have a good idea as to what went wrong here. The relocation is to "__errno", but it looks as though we already have a SDYNIMPORT symbol for "_errno" set up... and I don't see any other bogus _errno definitions. The address in question (0x4d8208) is somewhere in the .data section apparently:

Sections:
Idx Name               Size     VMA      Type
  0 .text              00069190 00401000 TEXT
  1 .rdata             0006c7f4 0046b000 DATA
  2 .data              00002a00 004d8000 DATA
  3 .zdebug_abbrev     00000127 00507000 DATA
...

As to why the relocation targeting _errno is being resolved to some place in the data section, I am really not sure (scratching my head over that one).

I looked at what the external linker is doing for the __errno reference in ___mingw_pformat. It appears to be creating a thunk and then calling the thunk:

// the thunk:
0046a1c8 <__errno>:
; __errno():
  46a1c8: ff 25 c0 5c 4d 00            	jmpl	*5070016

// the code in __mingw_pformat:

As far as I know there isn't any code in the Go linker that creates these sorts of import thunks for x86. Hmm.

It looks similar to generating PLT stubs for ELF, which the Go linker can do. Maybe we could do something similar?

Agree. I am looking over the corresponding code in lld, e.g. https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/83d59e05b201760e3f364ff6316301d347cbad95/lld/COFF/InputFiles.cpp#L974 to see if I can use that as a model as well.

Change https://go.dev/cl/451816 mentions this issue: misc/cgo/testcshared: handle unsuffixed dlltool path

Adapt the testcshared tests to handle the case where the path output by invoking gcc -print-prog-name=dlltool is a path lacking the final ".exe" suffix (this seems to be what clang is doing); tack it on before using if this is the case. Updates #35006. Updates #53540.

This patch reworks the handling of DLL import symbols in the PE host object loader to ensure that the Go linker can deal with them properly during internal linking. Prior to this point the strategy was to immediately treat an import symbol reference of the form "__imp__XXX" as if it were a reference to the corresponding DYNIMPORT symbol XXX, except for certain special cases. This worked for the most part, but ran into problems in situations where the target ("XXX") wasn't a previously created DYNIMPORT symbol (and when these problems happened, the root cause was not always easy to see). The new strategy is to not do any renaming or forwarding immediately, but to delay handling until host object loading is complete. At that point we make a scan through the newly introduced text+data sections looking at the relocations that target import symbols, forwarding the references to the corresponding DYNIMPORT sym where appropriate and where there are direct refs to the DYNIMPORT syms, tagging them for stub generation later on. Updates #35006. Updates #53540.
