- <markus_w1nner> I have a strange tcp via localhost question:
- <markus_wanner> The other side closes the connection, but I haven't read
- all data, yet. I should still be able to read the pending data, no?
- <markus_wanner> At least it seems to work that way on Linux, but not on
- Hurd.
- <markus_wanner> Got a simple repro with nc, if you're interested...
- <youpi> markus_wanner: yes, we're interested
- <markus_wanner> youpi: okay, here we go:
- <markus_wanner> session 1: nc -l -p 7777 localhost
- <markus_wanner> session 2: nc 127.0.0.1 7777
- <markus_wanner> session 2: a <RET> b <RET> c <RET>
- <markus_wanner> session 1: [ pause with Ctrl-Z ]
- <markus_wanner> session 2: [ send more data ] d <RET> e <RET> f <RET>
- <markus_wanner> session 2: [ quit with Ctrl-C ]
- <markus_wanner> session 1: [ resume with 'fg' ]
- <markus_wanner> The server on session 1 doesn't get the data sent after it
- paused and before the client closed the connection.
- <markus_wanner> I'm not sure if that's a valid TCP thing. However, on
- Linux, the server still gets the data. On hurd it doesn't.
- <markus_wanner> I'm working on a C-code test case, ATM.
- <youpi> markus_wanner: on which box are you seeing this behavior?
- <youpi> exodar does not have it
- <youpi> i.e. I do get the d e f
- <markus_wanner> a private VM (I'm not a DD)
- <markus_wanner> ..updated to latest experimental stuff.
- <markus_wanner> GNU lematur 0.3 GNU-Mach 1.3.99-486/Hurd-0.3 i686-AT386 GNU
- <youpi> ok, I can't reproduce it on my vm either
- <youpi> maybe the C program will help
- <markus_wanner> Hm.. cannot corrently reproduce that in C. (Netcat still
- shows the issue, though).
- <markus_wanner> I'll try to strace netcat...
- <markus_wanner> ..Meh. strace not available on Hurd?
- <pinotree> no, but there is rpctrace to show the various rpc
- <markus_wanner> Cool, looks helpful.
- <markus_wanner> Thx
- <markus_wanner> Uh.. that introduces another error:
- <markus_wanner> rpctrace: ../../utils/rpctrace.c:1287: trace_and_forward:
- Assertion `reply_type == 18' failed.
-
-[[hurd/debugging/rpctrace]].
-
- <youpi> I'm checking on a box without ipv6 configuration
- <youpi> maybe that's the difference between you and me
- <youpi> I guess your /etc/alternatives/nc is /bin/nc.traditional ?
- <markus_wanner> Yup, nc.traditional.
- <markus_wanner> Looks like that box only has IPv4 configured.
- <markus_wanner> Something very strange is going on here. No matter how hard
- I try, I cannot reproduce this with netcat, anymore.
- <pinotree> not even after a reboot?
- <markus_wanner> Woo.. here, it happened, again! This is driving me crazy!
- <markus_wanner> Now, nc seemingly connects, but is unable to send data
- between the two. Netcat would somehow complain, if it failed to connect,
- no?
- <markus_wanner> No it worked.
- <markus_wanner> So this seems to be an intermittent issue. So far, I could
- only ever repro it as a normal user, not as root. May be coincidental,
- though.
- <markus_wanner> Now, 'a' and 'b' made it through, but not the 'c' sent
- manually just after that. Something with that TCP/IP stack is definitely
- fishy.
- <markus_wanner> Anything I can try to investigate? Or shall I simply
- restart and see if the problem persists?
- <youpi> maybe restart, yes
- <youpi> did you restart since the upgrade ?
- <markus_wanner> Yes, I restarted after that.
- <markus_wanner> Hm.. okay, restarted. Some problem persists.
- <markus_wanner> I currently have two netcat processes connected, the
- listening one got some first two messages and seems stuck now.
- <markus_wanner> With the client, I tried to send more data, but the server
- doesn't get it, anymore.
- <markus_wanner> Any idea on what I can do to analyze the situation?
- <youpi> for the netcat issue, I haven't experienced this
- <youpi> are you running in kvm or virtualbox or something else?
- <markus_wanner> I'm currently puzzled about what "experimental" actually
- ships.
- <markus_wanner> On kvm.
- <markus_wanner> My libc0.3 used to be 2.13-39+hurd.3.
- <markus_wanner> But packages.d.o already shows 2.17.0experimental2.
- <youpi> experimental ships experimental versions, which you aren't supposed
- to use
- <youpi> unless you know what you are doing
- <youpi> iirc 2.17 is known to be quite broken for now
- <markus_wanner> Okay. So I guess I'll try to "downgrade" to unstable, then.
- <markus_wanner> Phew, okay, successfully downgraded to unstable.
- <markus_wanner> Hopefully monotone's test suite runs through fine, now.
- <markus_wanner> Yup, WORKING! Looks like some experimental packages caused
- the problem. The netcat test as well as that one failing monotone test
- work fine, now.

- <tschwinge> pinotree, youpi: Is there anything from that markus_wanner
- discussion about pfinet/netcat/signals that needs to be filed? I guess
- we don't know what exactly he changed so that everything workedd fine
- eventually? (Some experimental package(s), but which?)
- <youpi> that was libc0.3 packages
- <youpi> which are indeed known to break the network

- <bu^> Generating locales (this might take a while)...
- <bu^> en_US.UTF-8...Segmentation fault
- <bu^> done

-## IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2014-02-19
-
- <braunr> for info, the localedef segfault has been fixed upstream
- <braunr> or rather, upstream has been written in a way that won't trigger
- the segfault
- <braunr> it is caused by the locale archive code that maps the locale
- archive file in the address space, enlarging the mapping as needed, but
- unmaps the complete reserved size of 512M on close
- <braunr> munmap is implemented through vm_deallocate, but it looks like the
- latter doesn't allow deallocating unmapped regions of the address space
- <braunr> (to be confirmed)
- <braunr> upstream code tracks the mapping size so vm_deallocate won't whine
- <braunr> i expect we'll have that in eglibc 2.18
- <braunr> hm actually, posix says munmap must refer to memory obtained with
- mmap :)
- <braunr> (or actually, that the behaviour is undefined, which most unix
- systems allow anyway, but not us)
-
- <braunr> also, before i leave, i have partially traced the localedef
- segfault
- <youpi> ah, cool
- <braunr> localedef maps the locale archive, and enlarges the mapping as
- needed
- <braunr> but munmaps the complete 512m reserved area
- <braunr> and i strongly suspect it unmaps something it shouldn't on the
- hurd
- <braunr> since linux mmap has different boundaries depending on the mapping
- use
- <braunr> while our glibc will happily maps stacks below text
- <braunr> the good news is that it looks fixed upstream
- <youpi> ah :)
- <braunr>
- https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=17db6e8d6b12f55e312fcab46faf5d332c806fb6
- <braunr> see the change about close_archive
- <braunr> i haven't tested it though
-
-
-## IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2014-02-21
-
- <gg0> just upgraded to 2.18, locales still segfaults
- <braunr> ok
-
-
-## IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2014-02-23
-
- <braunr> ok, as expected, the localdef bug is because of some mmap issue
-
-[[glibc/mmap]].
-
- <braunr> looks like our mmap doesn't like mapping files with PROT_NONE
- <braunr> shouldn't be too hard to fix
- <braunr> gg0: i should have a fix ready soon for localedef
-
- <braunr> youpi: i have a patch for glibc about the localedef segfault
- <youpi> is that the backport we talked about, or something else?
- <braunr> something else
- <braunr> in short
- <braunr> mmap() PROT_NONE on files return 0
- <youpi> ok
- <youpi> seems like fixable indeed
- <braunr> nothing is mapped, and the localdef code doesn't consider this an
- error
- <braunr> my current fix is to handle PROT_NONE like PROT_READ
- <youpi> doesn't vm_protect allow to map something without giving read
- right?
- <braunr> it probably does
- <braunr> the problem is in glibc
- <youpi> ok
- <braunr> when i say like PROT_READ, i mean a memory object gets a reference
- <braunr> on the read port returned by io_map
- <braunr> since it's not accessible anyway, it shouldn't make a difference
- <braunr> but i preferred to have the memory object referenced anyway to
- match what i expect is done by other systems

- <youpi> braunr: ah ok
-
- <braunr> ok that mmap fix looks fine, i'll add comments and commit it soon

- <youpi> braunr: did you test whether
- https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=17db6e8d6b12f55e312fcab46faf5d332c806fb6
- does indeed fix locale generation?
- <braunr> youpi: it doesn't, which is why i applied

-
- <youpi> damn
- <youpi> hang at ext2fs boot
- <youpi> static linking issue, clearly
-
-
-## IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2013-06-30
-
- <youpi> Mmm
- <youpi> __access ("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) at startup of ext2fs
- <youpi> deemed to fail....
- <pinotree> when does that happen?
- <youpi> at hwcap initialization
- <youpi> at least that's were ext2fs.static linked against libc 2.17 hangs
- at startup
- <youpi> and this is indeed a very good culprit :)
- <pinotree> ah, a debian patch
- <youpi> does anybody know a quick way to know whether one is the / ext2fs ?
- :)
- <pinotree> isn't the root fs given a special port?
- <youpi> I was thinking about something like this, yes
- <youpi> ok, boots
- <youpi> I'll build a 8~0 that includes the fix
- <youpi> so people can easily build the hurd package
- <youpi> Mmm, no, the bootstrap port is also NULL for normally-started
- processes :/
- <youpi> I don't understand why
- <youpi> ah, only translators get a bootstrap port :/
- <youpi> perhaps CRDIR then
- <youpi> (which makes a lot of sense)
-
-
-## IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2013-07-01
-
- <braunr> youpi: what is local-no-bootstrap-fs-access.diff supposed to fix ?
- <youpi> ext2fs.static linked againt debian glibc 2.17
- <youpi> well, as long as you don't build & use ext2fs.static with it...
- <braunr> that's thing, i want to :)
- <braunr> +the
- <youpi> I'd warmly welcome a way to detect whether being the / translator
- process btw
- <youpi> it seems far from trivial

-# glibc 2.18 vs. GCC 4.8
-
-## IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2013-11-25
-
- <youpi> grmbl, installing a glibc 2.18 rebuilt with gcc-4.8 brings an
- unbootable system
-
-
-## IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2013-11-29
-
- <teythoon> so, what do I do? rebuild the glibc 2.18 package with gcc4.8 and
- see what breaks ?
- <teythoon> when I boot a system with that libc that is ?
- <teythoon> I wish youpi would have been more specific, I've never built the
- libc before...
- <braunr> debian/rules build in the debian package
- <braunr> ctrl-c when you see gcc invocations
- <braunr> cd buildir; make lib others
- <braunr> although hm
- <braunr> what breaks is at boot time right ?
- <teythoon> yes
- <braunr> heh ..
- <braunr> then dpkg-buildpackage
- <braunr> DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck speeds things up
- <braunr> just answer on the mailing list and ask him
- <braunr> he usually answers quickly
-
-
-## IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2013-12-18
-
- <gnu_srs> teythoon: k!, any luck with eglibc-2.18?
- <teythoon> tbh i didn't look into this after two unsuccessful attempts at
- building the libc package
- <teythoon> there was a post over at the libc-alpha list that sounded
- familiar
- <teythoon> http://www.cygwin.com/ml/libc-alpha/2013-12/msg00281.html
- <braunr> wow
- <teythoon> ?
- <braunr> this looks tricky
- <braunr> and why ia64 only
- <teythoon> indeed
- <braunr> it's rare to see aurel32 ask such questions
-
-
-## IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2014-01-22
-
- <youpi> btw, did anybody investigate the glibc-built-with-gcc-4.8 issue?
- <youpi> oddly enough, a subhurd boots completely fine with it
- <braunr> i didn't
- <teythoon> no, sorry
- <youpi> I was wondering whether the bogus deallocation at boot might have
- something to do
- <braunr> which one ?
- <braunr> ah
- <braunr> yes
- <braunr> maybe
- <youpi> quoted earlier here
