[GHC] #11337: Unwind information incorrect between Sp adjustment and end of block

#11337: Unwind information incorrect between Sp adjustment and end of block -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.3 (CodeGen) | Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- As pointed out in Phab:D1532, the DWARF unwinding information that we produce is currently a bit oversimplified. Namely, we produce exactly one unwind table per Cmm block. This works reasonably well in most cases since we most Cmm blocks have the form, {{{ aProcedure() { casl: -- we just entered the procedure, so the unwinding is trivial. unwind Sp = Sp -- we push some values onto the stack... I64[Sp - 16] = ... I64[Sp - 8] = ... -- and before leaving the block we update Sp. Sp = Sp - 16; -- technically our unwind information is now a lie call aFunction() returns to casd; casd: -- we inherit the unwind information from the state of the stack when we -- left the preceding block (casl) unwind Sp = Sp + 16 R2 = I64[Sp + 8]; -- pop off that which we pushed Sp = Sp + 16; call GHC.List.$wunsafeTake_info(R3, R2) args: 8, res: 0, upd: 8; }}} Here there is a narrow window where our unwind information is technically wrong: between updating `Sp` in `casl` and calling into `aFunction`. Note that after we arrive in `aFunction` we are safe, since our return address is `casd`, which has the correct unwinding information. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11337> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#11338: Unwind information is incorrect in region surrounding a safe foreign call -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: #11337 Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Safe foreign calls can occur at the end of a block. Like #11337, these produce incorrect debug information. However, the situation is worse in the case of foreign calls since these return to the calling block. This means that we are currently unable to unwind out of a safe foreign call. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11338> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #11353: DWARF call frame information incorrect in the presence of unsafe foreign calls

#11353: DWARF call frame information incorrect in the presence of unsafe foreign calls -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.3 (CodeGen) | Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: x86_64 | Type of failure: Debugging (amd64) | information is incorrect Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Unsafe foreign calls result in adjustments to `$rsp` made in the NCG to comply with calling convention alignment requirements (see `X86.CodeGen.genCCall64'`). Unfortunately, this happens after we've generated unwind information. This results in incorrect unwinding information for `$rsp` when inside of a foreign call. The results can be quite catastrophic (e.g. segmentation faults while unwinding). Unfortunately it's really not clear what can be done about this given that these adjustments aren't present in the Cmm representation that we use to produce frame information. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11353> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

This will help in Windows debugging and it will gain more stronger positions on Windows platform. Here I found format description. I'm not sure if it is similar to DWARF so it could be easily generated from existing DWARF implementation. https://github.com/Microsoft/microsoft-pdb -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12397> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
