this vp9 related crash is regressing in crash stats data since firefox 46 and seems to be increasing in numbers in 49.0b1 again.
many user comments seem to reference playing content on youtube as source of the crash.

Pretty small volume, we won't take any fix as ride along in 48
@jya, @k17e - Can you find an owner for this?  It's flagged as a carryover regression with no owner.  Thanks.

if this is a libavcodec/vp9 bug then its probably ronald who knows this best, he is on vacation till end of august IIRC though.
Either way, can this be reproduced somehow with command line ffmpeg?
Flags: needinfo?(michael)
I dont know if it's ever been reproduced. We can provide the memory dump if required on Windows. Easy to track with visual studio then.

We can't share memory dumps from Socorro outside of Mozilla. We'd need permission from the person submitting the crash.

Can you provide a link to the exact source code file used in Firefox 49.0.1 for vp9.c, and can you also provide disassembly for the given function in the 49.0.1 build of Firefox? The source code is pretty obviously correct upstream (it does an explicit check for denominator being zero before doing the division), so maybe there's something funky going on like local patches or local miscompilation? We've had an AMD-specific crash before but that was related to longnops instead of shortnops and usually affected SIMD code.

Looking at Chrome, there's a remarkably similar bug (claiming the same issue - technically, really! - in libvpx as well as ffmpeg) here:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=599899

Interesting quotes: "I suspect the issue may be related to something I had seen a while back, where crashes happened due to a hardware bug in certain family of AMD processors." (from Yaowu)

It's unclear to me what the patch does exactly, but it seems like it's trying to add sign-extension instructions (adding padding, i.e. specifically to delay the pipeline) hoping that that will workaround the known CPU bug "665 Integer Divide Instruction May Cause Unpredictable Behavior". I suppose we can do that also although I have to admit I'm never a big fan of such "fixes".
The other patch referenced in the bug seem to split prob adaptation in two functions, where the return-if-zero is done before entering the function that does the divide. Since that introduces a call between the branch and the div (instead of call before branch+div), it works around the CPU bug also, and would do so without a slowdown. We can of course do both also.

I suppose it's not easy to get my hands on access (SSH) to one of the affected machines to reproduce the crash and test potential workarounds?
Here's the source code: https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-release/annotate/2d931a5eaf8a/media/ffvpx/libavcodec/vp9.c#l3929

And here's the disassembly around the crashing instruction for one of
the crash reports (I've downloaded another one and it's pretty similar):

Unfortunately yes. We would need to contact by email the people who reported
crashes and ask them.

...and the cpu model that was mentioned there (AMD A6-3400M, https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/attachmentText?aid=232024) is the same one that we see failing in our crash stats data according to comment #6 as well.
The "problem" in this disass is that adapt_prob appears inlined, so branch-call-div wouldn't do anything. I'd really like SSH access to an affected machine to test potential fixes. Can we get one from either an affected user or can we contact AMD directly? Maybe AMD (since they have insight in the exact details of this bug) can suggest how we should change the code to work around it?

The link in the description gives you exactly the code where the crash occurred. It's using the revision you're interested in..


https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-unified/annotate/f21e48559ecd/media/ffvpx/libavcodec/vp9.c#l3929

The ffvpx code included is almost identical to what's found upstream. We have almost zero patches applied. Great care was taken to ensure we made as little modifications as possible so resyncing with upstream will be easy.
Thanks @jya, I indeed just wanted to confirm there were no strange firefox-specific modifications. I'm at this point pretty sure it's the AMD hardware bug... Not 100% sure how to go from there to a fix yet... Do you guys have suggestions or recommendations?
Hi David...

Didn't you identify an AMD bug a while ago and crafted a solution around it? Any suggestions?

This looks exactly like the issue that Chrome encountered. How about taking their workaround as a starting point: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/#/c/73570/
Flags: needinfo?(dmajor)
Going by what libvpx did, I propose the attached patch. However, as mentioned, I have no way of testing this patch so I'm not sure how to confirm that this does indeed fix the issue. Can we get in touch with one of the bug submitters and see if they can test a modified binary with this patch included to see if that resolves the crash?
Flags: needinfo?(rsbultje)
Another option is to take the patch and see if it fixes the crash in the wild (we would need to wait for the patch to reach beta or uplift it, since we don't have any report with Aurora or Nightly).
Hello Jean-Yves, as Marco said, could we get stabilize this patch on pre-beta (to catch unexpected fallouts) and then uplift to Beta50 to determine if it fixes the crash or not? Thoughts?
Flags: needinfo?(jyavenard)
I have no problem with the patch, it looks identical to the earlier code, just different order of operations. 

So there's nothing to lose

jya, can you take care of landing the patch or helping Ronald to do it?
Dear Firefox programmer,
I had plenty of crashes when whatching vp9 encoded content on youtube, so I followed the bug reports and I ended here. One of my crash report is 852b8ad6-ff1b-4eb7-8f39-4ef152161011.

I'll be happy to test a patched binary, and see if the issue is still ocurring.

Best regards,
Nicolas DEROUINEAU
Thanks Nicolas, this is great. Jya, given the nature of the bug, perhaps we should build Firefox on try with the official configuration and let Nicolas try that instead of a local build.

I have installed the nightly, and so far vp9 content decoding doesn't crash. However, I noticed that this bug happened after a while, so I'll keep some content running and keep you updated.

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: It's a low volume crash on Beta, but high volume on release. Fix verified by Nicolas (comment 29), testing with a larger population on Beta will confirm that the crash if fixed for everybody. The risk is pretty low, considering that the patch is just changing the order of operations.
Hello Jean-Yves, should we uplift this patch to Aurora51 and Beta50?

[User impact if declined]: crashes on some AMD machines 
[Describe test coverage new/current, TreeHerder]: in central. manual check. Lots of Michu tests.
