Bug Description

[Impact]

* Gdb can't set some breakpoints in ld.so on armhf when libc6-dbg is not installed.

[Test Plan]

* Check that ld.so is not stripped on armhf:
$ /lib/*/ld-2.31.so
libc6/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ld-2.31.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=e20a43bff0c4d2aa7f508c93eadad973ea0c0af9, with debug_info, not stripped

* Check that ld.so is stripped on amd64:

$ file /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.31.so
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.31.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=ea85fcb25ee4c4c9e7b180924ab4a44257a9547a, stripped

[Where problems could occur]

* The fix is not stripping ld.so on armhf. Not stripping it comes with a notable increase in file size and it may be performance critical 109K stripped vs 1.3M unstripped. Accidentally ld.so could be left unstripped on other architectures, but the test plan covers checking that, at least on amd64. Other than those not stripping ld.so should not cause any issue.

the build environment is binutils 2.36.1, gcc 10.3, glibc 2.33 (updated to the 2.33 branch).

the build log show all the test cases which are timing out, there still seems to be at least another running test, as the whole build times out.

In , Luis (freezehawk) wrote :

After investigating this, the root cause of the timeouts is caused by GDB using the wrong type of breakpoint (between a 4 bytes ARM breakpoint and a 2 bytes thumb breakpoint), which causes some unexpected results.

The reason why this is happening is a bit more complex though. GDB has a couple mechanisms for tracking loading/unloading of shared libraries in dynamically-linked binaries. Via _dl_debug_state and r_brk and via stap probes.

Up until Ubuntu 18.04 (glibc 2.27), GDB could not use the stap probes mechanism because it ran into a bug when parsing stap expression, thus failing the check and falling back to using the old _dl_debug_state and r_brk mechanism.

The _dl_debug_state/r_brk mechanism works because we have an entry for _dl_debug_state in the .dynsym section of ld.so. Even though ld.so is completely stripped of mapping symbols (another way to tell arm/thumb modes apart), which are only available via the debug symbols file, GDB can still tell _dl_debug_state is arm or thumb mode because the ELF symbol carries a flag indicating so. That's why this fallback mechanism works.

On Ubuntu 20.04, running glibc 2.31, GDB no longer runs into problems with stap probes. Thus GDB decides to use this mechanism instead of the old _dl_debug_state/r_brk one.

Both mechanisms function by having GDB insert breakpoints at specific location so shared library events can be tracked. But in the stap probes case there are no real symbols.

What we have is metadata that contains the name of the probe and its address. This address falls within a particular function. For example, init_start and init_complete are probe points that fall within dl_main. The probe points do not seem to carry any information about whether we have arm or thumb mode.

As before, the mapping symbols should tell us what the mode is, but ld.so is stripped and doesn't carry those. But GDB could look at the ELF symbol of the function the probe is sitting at, except that these symbols (not considered special in any way) have been stripped as well. So the arm/thumb information is completely gone and GDB can no longer make the correct decision.

So GDB defaults to assuming arm mode for the breakpoint to use, which is obviously wrong for thumb code.

There are two possible solutions:

1 - Fallback to using _dl_debug_state/r_brk for armhf in GDB. This is considered bad by GDB's maintainers, because it means using an outdated mechanism instead of better interfaces.

2 - Don't strip glibc/ld.so function symbols that have stap probes installed in them.

Right now, these are the functions that contain probes and that GDB wants to breakpoint in a special way:

_dl_main, _dl_map_object_from_fd, lose, dl_open_worker and _dl_close_worker

It's ok to strip glibc/ld.so on armhf, but then gdb needs to be able to find the debug symbols.

For impish,

 - call dh_strip in glibc with current debhelper, not compat 8,
   so that the build-id's are resolved by build file system
   layout, not the original file names. That's already done in
   glibc 2.33-0ubuntu6

 - let the gdb build depend on libc6-dbg on armhf, also let
   gdb depend on libc6-dbg on armhf, instead of recommending
   it.

The alternative is not to strip glibc's ld.so on armhf, as Luis suggested.

Having the required data in the ld.so file itself would be best.

Matthias Klose (doko) wrote :

No, you would need to provide symlinks for all variants, for the real file and all the symlinks.

The unstripped ld.so is 220k, the stripped one 192k. So these 28k look pretty marginal to add, and I wouldn't see this a regression in size.

Attaching the diff that already is in the glibc in impish. I don't see regression potential with this patch.

sure, that would fix the immediate issue. but is there a reason why you don't
want to have this across all architectures, or is this meant just for the backports?

Balint Reczey (rbalint) wrote :

@doko since the problem is arm-specific I don't want to deviate from the default stripping on architectures where it is not necessary. Not that the 28k would be so huge, but for the sake of not changing what was already good.

@doko Not stripping ld.so on Focal came with an increase of ld.so from 110K to 1.3M. I don't think this is an acceptable increase when pulling in libc6-dbg also fixes the problem.

Hello Matthias, or anyone else affected,

Accepted glibc into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/2.31-0ubuntu9.9 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

This bug was fixed in the package glibc - 2.31-0ubuntu9.9

---------------
glibc (2.31-0ubuntu9.9) focal; urgency=medium

  * Disable testsuite on riscv64. It is failing maths tests intermittently in
    ways that cannot be a glibc regression and is disabled in later series
    anyway.

glibc (2.31-0ubuntu9.8) focal; urgency=medium

  * Update for 20.04. (LP: #1951033)

  [ Balint Reczey ]
  * Cherry-pick upstream patch to fix building with -moutline-atomics
  * Prevent rare deadlock in pthread_cond_signal (LP: #1899800)

  [ Matthias Klose ]
  * Revert: Use DH_COMPAT=8 for dh_strip to fix debug sections for valgrind.
    Enables debugging ld.so related issues. (LP: #1918035)
  * Don't strip ld.so on armhf. (LP: #1927192)

  [ Gunnar Hjalmarsson ]
  * d/local/usr_sbin/update-locale: improve sanity checks. (LP: #1892825)

  [ Heitor Alves de Siqueira ]
  * d/p/u/git-lp1928508-reversing-calculation-of-__x86_shared_non_temporal.patch:
    - Fix memcpy() performance regression on x86 AMD systems (LP: #1928508)

  [ Aurelien Jarno ]
  * debian/debhelper.in/libc.preinst: drop the check for kernel release
    > 255 now that glibc and preinstall script are fixed. (LP: #1962225)

  [ Michael Hudson-Doyle ]
  * libc6 on arm64 is now built with -moutline-atomics so libc6-lse can now be
    an empty package that is safe to remove. (LP: #1912652)
  * d/patches/u/aarch64-memcpy-improvements.patch: Backport memcpy
    improvements. (LP: #1951032)

Although this has been fixed for focal (20.04), it looks like the fix wasn't applied to jammy (22.04). So we're still stripping symbols off of ld.so for armhf.

Maybe I should open a new ticket to track this?

This has been re-broken in the glibc package when upstream changed the name of the actual ld.so binary, thus escaping the stripping exception.

I've fixed this in the git tree in preparation of the mantic upload. There's currently a Jammy SRU in -proposed, I won't supersede it for this fix since there's a workaround (installing the -dbg package). However, I'll make sure to include it in the next upload :).
