See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1268024#c32 for more context. Emulating an integer memory access in the signal handler for unaligned access is not too hard; for float memory access, it's harder as we have no way to retrieve the content of the FPU from the signal handler without using ptrace, it seems. As a temporary workaround, we forbid compilation to everything below ARMv7 and assume ARMv7 does the right thing. There are modes for which v7 won't do the right thing too, so this needs to be fixed later.
Some notes from discussion on IRC with sunfish: 15:08 <sunfish> bbouvier: my notes from last time I looked into this indicate that armv6 also has a mode where it traps on alignment 15:09 <sunfish> bbouvier: so it'd only be armv5 and armv6/7 in legacy mode that we wouldn't support 15:10 <sunfish> which i think we're totally ok with 15:16 <sunfish> oh, never mind. there are three levels here. 15:17 <sunfish> armv5 silently masks off the low bits, so it's totally unusable 15:17 <sunfish> armv6 introduced trapping on misaligned accesses, which is theoretically supportable, but is the thing we're talking about 15:18 <sunfish> and then there's the-hardware-takes-care-of-it 15:18 <sunfish> or, the-os-takes-care-of-it I've checked on the rpi: by default, the kernel takes care of it for integer memory accesses (/proc/cpu/alignment set to 2).
Priority: -- → P3
Test case: This causes wasm/spec/memory_redundancy.wast to fail (the program has unaligned f32 loads and stores) on my dev board [1]. We'll need this for shipping on ARM, I expect. [1] Nvidia Jetson TK1 4xTegra @ 2.3GHz, Ubuntu 14.
Priority: P3 → P2
Test case: This causes wasm/spec/float_memory.wast to iloop - the program has unaligned floating point accesses and the signal handler does not advance the PC when it handles the SIGBUS resulting from the unaligned access. Same system as comment 3.
Test case: wasm/memory.js, as comment 4.
This is something I've seen in the past: according to the mode you're using to handle unaligned accesses (at the kernel level), or whether this is the simulator or a real device, the program might segfault at the expected PC or at PC+/-4. I haven't clearly identified the actual reason for this behavior...
Test case (sort of): wasm/errors.js. This is similar to comment 4 and comment 5 but the FP accesses are all out of bounds, they don't need to be emulated but we need to invoke the OOB handler instead.
There's the worrisome possibility that /proc/cpu/alignment is set to 0, which means the kernel will quietly swallow the exception and return garbage on an unaligned access. https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/arm/mem_alignment https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2010-05/msg00142.html https://wiki.debian.org/ArmEabiFixes#word_accesses_must_be_aligned_to_a_multiple_of_their_size One might hope that, with newer hardware supporting unaligned accesses so that the kernel does not have to, this is not an issue, but we probably want to check this on startup -- not that that's really sufficient, I expect the value can change at any time.
Not a fix, but a stopgap solution that allows testing: throw on unaligned accesses that trap, do not hang.

The Google Pixel 2 traps on unaligned FP accesses in ARMv7 mode, see bug 1517351 comment 15 et seq. THat hardware is mainstream enough that we probably have to deal with this problem. Increasing priority.

ARM-32 failures on Pixel 2 and Moto G5:

Attached patch bug1283121-emulate-fp-accesses.patch (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review

Fairly grubby code to emulate trapping FP loads. Completely untested, not even test compiled, but everything used here is part of the Linux ABI in principle, so this is not entirely insane.

Assignee: nobody → lhansen
Attached patch bug1283121-emulate-fp-accesses-v2.patch (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review

This compiles but does not run (it segfaults w/o much information when it should have emulated the instruction). Hard to debug locally unless you have a device that traps on unaligned FP accesses...

Attachment #9035664 - Attachment is obsolete: true

Wohoo, I have a device that has the problem.

(This is a very mainstream system, BTW, a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2, so the problem with trapping unaligned FP accesses appears to be widespread in the wild.)

Also my LG/Google Nexus 5x with Android 8.1. I think at this point the inescapable conclusion is that this problem is common or possibly even the majority case.

Simple test case (temporary home): https://axis-of-eval.org/sandbox/oob-arm.html, runs quickly and the result is reported in the window.

Attached patch bug1283121-emulate-fp-accesses-v3.patch (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review

Works locally on my Nexus 5X. Needs:

  • cleanup & maybe generalization
  • test cases
  • testing on various android versions (the VFP_MAGIC may have changed at
    various points in the past)
  • scrutiny
  • maybe additional ifdeffery so that we don't expose ARM Linux to it, just
    Android

Attached patch bug1283121-emulate-fp-accesses-v4.patch (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review

This is green on the Pixel 2 on try with my new test cases and after reinstating the test cases that were disabled. (https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=9b21e231d93f13c7abde89a02f1542cf6f082ec0)

Primary worries for reviews:

  • Not enough guards / risk of double-faulting because I've forgotten to check some precondition. I'm pretty sure I got "this is a known wasm instance with a PC that is for sure valid and a memory address that will for sure be in-bound when I read the data" right, but is there more?
  • Unnecessary kernel dependencies
  • Overbroad kernel assumptions
  • "Unknown unknowns"

Bob, can you put a couple of Moto G5s back in the pool for me to use? I'll want to run jittest-10 in both opt and debug mode, just to be sure.

Does this correctly handle (reject) the case where [addr, +numBytes) wraps
around the end of the address space? I asumme that a wasm memory itself
can't wrap around the end of the address space.

The wasm memory can't wrap but it's possible this method should be more paranoid. Will investigate.

This appears to assume that |pc| refers to an ARM-encoded instruction.

Yes.

Please assert this; possibly release-assert so that we can't end up doing
memory accesses on behalf of who-knows-what Thumb instruction by accident.

I can assert pc % 4 == 0 at most and will do that, just because. For the instructions of interest, Arm and Thumb have the same encoding (the only difference is that Arm allows the instruction to be conditional), so further tests on arm-vs-thumb are not interesting.

To release-assert this (and below) is to imply that we can only get here as
a result of a fault with a wasm-jit generated instruction.

That is what the earlier guards are supposed to guarantee - that the faulting instruction is in a wasm code segment.

If we take a
fault elsewhere in Gecko and end up in here, the release assert could cause
the system to fail unnecessarily. So do we have that guarantee? If not, it
would seem safer to simply ignore unexpected instructions.

If we fail the earlier guards then we return false and the superstructure in this file will invoke the next handler.

Memo to self: in JSContext.cpp there is code that checks for certain Android versions (to disable the JIT in some cases). It might be possible to reduce the risk of going wrong in the instruction emulation by checking the OS version and only trying to emulate if the OS is new "enough".

That seems sufficient to me. Note that double-faulting is uniformly and conservatively handled by sAlreadyHandlingTrap; if you have a bug here it'll just end in a proper crash report.

Do you know how this affects JS with typed arrays?

(In reply to Jan de Mooij [:jandem] from comment #36)

Do you know how this affects JS with typed arrays?

Should not affect JS at all. Float32Array and Float64Array are always aligned, and for DataView I'm pretty sure we're always careful to use memcpy for access. This is basically a consequence of wasm allowing unaligned accesses even when the instruction says the access is aligned, combined with the desire always to emit the best possible code for accesses that say they are aligned. (See commit msg for more, or lmk if you need more information.)

Ah right. I thought TypedArray views could be unaligned but you're right. Great!
