Description Martin Milata 2014-06-24 10:30:14 UTC
Description of problem:
Some functions (e.g. dwfl_module_getelf) return DWFL_E_CB even though the related library seems to be alright. It can be reproduced by running eu-stack on the provided coredump.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
elfutils-0.158-4.fc20.x86_64

How reproducible:
Hopefully always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Obtain F20 system.
2. # yum install koji mock
3. # usermod -a -G mock user
4. # su - user
5. $ wget http://.../ccpp-callback-failure.tar.xz
6. $ wget http://.../setup-retracing.py
   (I'll provide the actual locations in next comment)
7. $ tar xJvf ccpp-callback-failure.tar.xz
8. $ ./setup-retracing.py ccpp-callback-failure/
   (This will download the RPMs that contain libraries referenced
    by the core dump from koji and unpack them to fedora-20-x86_64
    mock chroot.)
9. $ mock -r fedora-20-x86_64 --copyin ccpp-callback-failure /tmp/ccpp-callback-failure
10. $ mock -r fedora-20-x86_64 --shell
11. <mock># cd /tmp/ccpp-callback-failure && eu-stack --core coredump

Actual results:
PID 1664 - core
(...)

eu-stack: dwfl_thread_getframes tid 1699 at 0x31e64b06ff in libmozjs-17.0.so: Callback returned failure
(...)

Expected results:
Complete stack traces for the affected thread.

Additional info:
Running GDB on the core seems to produce complete stack trace.
libmozjs-17.0.so is present and with the same build id as in the core.
It's likely that the bug is not related to unwinding as we get the same error when calling dwfl_module_getelf.

Do not rely on link_map.l_addr.

Problem 1:
$ eu-stack --core /tmp/ccpp-callback-failure/coredump
#18 0x00007fc661daece8 meta_run
#19 0x0000000000402131
eu-stack: dwfl_thread_getframes tid 1664 at 0x402130 in [exe]: Callback returned failure

Problem 1 is in how ABRT arranges the retracing chroot and/or how ABRT calls eu-stack.  This is not a bug in elfutils.

Solution 1.A:
$ eu-stack -e /usr/bin/gnome-shell --core /tmp/ccpp-callback-failure/coredump
[...]
#18 0x00007fc661daece8 meta_run
#19 0x0000000000402131 main
[...]

Solution 1.B:
$ gdb /tmp/ccpp-callback-failure/coredump
Missing separate debuginfo for the main executable file
Try: yum --enablerepo='*debug*' install /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/a3/93a342ffc386364d06e61da0b06c1e1f972eb4
$ yum --enablerepo='*debug*' install /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/a3/93a342ffc386364d06e61da0b06c1e1f972eb4
$ eu-stack --core /tmp/ccpp-callback-failure/coredump
#18 0x00007fc661daece8 meta_run
#19 0x0000000000402131 main

Solution: Attached l_addr.patch.
It needs a testcase and then I will post it to the elfutils mailing list.  The problem was that user dumping the core file had DSOs prelinked but downloaded DSOs from RPMs are not prelinked - sure an elfutils bug (in my code although not in the unwinder but in DSOs r_debug reader).

Comment 3 Jan Kratochvil 2014-07-28 19:04:10 UTC
Problem 2 fix is now checked in upstream:
  475849fdb25265706772905b856cd7028c566a71

The NEEDINFO:
Jakub Filak has asked for a new rpm release with this fix, IIUC for all Fedoras.

Comment 4 Mark Wielaard 2014-07-28 22:08:20 UTC
I backported the fix to rawhide elfutils-0.159-8.fc22. If that works for you we'll can push that version to older fedora releases too.

Comment 5 Mark Wielaard 2014-09-01 12:05:13 UTC
elfutils 0.160 has been released and included in fedora f21/rawhide. As said in comment #4. Let us know if that works for you then we can see whether to backport it to earlier fedora releases. Thanks.

Comment 6 Martin Milata 2014-09-02 16:12:35 UTC
Verified that 0.160 works fine - thanks for the quick fix! Backport to earlier versions will be much appreciated.
