Kernel hang after allocate_commpage_entry

Description

At hrev37001, vanilla Haiku hangs after

allocate_commpage_entry(2, 24) -> 0xffff0100

With TRACE_VM activated, I see it hangs after

vm_free_unused_boot_loader_range(): asked to free 0x00000000 - 0xffffefff
[...]
free boot range: get rid of 0x86d80000 - 0xfe010000

The problem appears to be in the combination of OpenFirmware and frame buffer getting unmapped. Either one is not sufficient to remedy the hang.

(In #5193) hrev36886 was too strict apparently: OpenFirmware itself is unmapped that way.

With the attached workaround on my PowerMac G3 I get to INIT: init Device Mapper (main.cpp).

Unfortunately I then get

PANIC: remove page 0x8681c098 from cache 0x[...]: page still has mappings

Welcome to Kernel Debugging Land...

which I guess is the direct consequence of my workaround.

It gets into an endless loop of PANIC: ASSERT FAILEDs afterwards, which might be related to #6032.

comment:4 by andreasf, 14 years ago

I've tried installing an ATI Rage 128 as secondary graphics card. It then sits behind the PCI bridge; the Radeon 9200 moves to a new 0xa00000000 translation, while the 0x90000000 translation remains.

comment:5 by andreasf, 14 years ago

In #5193 I've attached patches that no longer require the above workaround.

At hrev37025 with those patches I now get:

INIT: Init Device Mapper
PANIC: remove page 0x8681c098 from cache 0x85825c30: page still has mappings!

I see no direct relation to #5193, since the virtual_base is below the kernel area and thus no area would be created for such a range...

hrev37031 should fix the cause of the panic.

comment:8 by bonefish, 14 years ago

The stack trace doesn't look quite right. The get_memory_map_etc() definitely doesn't belong there. module_hash() directly calls hash_hash_string(). Though, as the objdump shows, apparently through the PLT, which I find weird. I'm not too familiar with the ELF PPC specifics anymore, but (1) the kernel shouldn't have a PLT in the first place (since it should be relocatable, but not position independent) and (2) I cannot see a reason why a function in the same shared object should be called through the PLT at all. Might be some kind of optimization. At any rate the address really seems to be in get_memory_map_etc() (at least in my objdump the function is longer than 0x248 bytes). You might want to check that against the kernel you've built.

Other than that -- which might turn out to be harmless -- either the string pointer passed to get_module() or some module name seems to be broken. I guess debug output is the way to go. A call command for PPC would be nice to have here, but due to the parameter passing via registers that is probably quite complicated to do.

Interestingly with TRACE_MODULE turned on, I get this instead:

INIT: Add preloaded old-style drivers
get_module(bus_managers/usb/v3)

<kernel_ppc>:int_init_post_device_mapper + 0x0024

This stems from arch_int.cpp. The code looks stubbed out, and I vaguely remember there was a discussion about it when the device manager was somehow reorganized. Will check the list archives.

Without TRACE_MODULE I reproducibly get the page fault but couldn't spot an obvious cause. The last successful invocation of hash_hash_string is "bus_managers/usb/v3", the next string is damaged. Adding a NULL check for module->name doesn't help.

Replying to andreasf:

No, the fault is at 0xdfffdb5d, so I guess that's the string pointer. It just has to be tracked down where it comes from and why.

in reply to:  10 ; comment:11 by andreasf, 14 years ago

It comes from USB bus manager's new(std::nothrow) Stack().

Before that call I can dprintf() a test message just fine, while as first instruction of the Stack() constructor I get garbage printed (same for TRACE_USB).

Seeing nothing fundamentally wrong with the constructor itself, I could think of two possible reasons for this failure:

  • new(std::nothrow) might be broken in this context (it looks like a simple malloc though if I read kernel_cpp.h right), or
  • something could be going wrong with the ELF sections (ctors or data). There is a special add-on linker script but it seems it is not used.

Concerning your PLT observations, the kernel linker script does include multiple mentions of plt sections. And then there's the removal of ppc linkhack.so -shared flag that might have undesired effects?

in reply to:  11 comment:12 by andreasf, 14 years ago

I've been unable to pinpoint the cause of the USB failure. The operator is okay, and the ELF section loading in the boot loader is shared with x86 and does clear BSS beyond filesz. Possibly stack corruption or some alignment issue?

It is no longer reliably reproducible.

in reply to:  11 comment:14 by andreasf, 14 years ago

The removal of linkhack.so's -shared flag has been ruled out as possible cause with #6210.

And the faulting address does not seem to change at runtime, only at compilation time.
