there is a build failure in json-c:

Because of sdl2. I've removed sdl2 from the native-inputs of u-boot
and added it to the native-inputs of u-boot-tools in guix master
commit 6b1253718d1d660e7a91bd59a96bdb16d7c5e0b3.

So now only this fails:

Or via CONFIG_X86_X32, which exposes extra syscalls ON x86_64 ONLY.

I guess that would be better than nothing--although glibc would have to look
seriously strange to use those: Even on ARM, it would have to try this syscall
first, and then the normal one. I don't think that that is reasonable to add
to glibc.

Looks very much like the CMake-on-emulated-hardware issue several of us
encountered before:


Glad you found an explanation!

Woow.

OK.

Yes; that user-space should be built with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 is also
the conclusion at

Let’s fix CMake (and JSON-C?) in ‘core-updates’ or ‘staging’ (using a
graft for CMake wouldn’t help because CMake is used at build time.)

It doesn’t make sense to cross-compile from x86_64 to i686. Instead we
should use a native build, but an i686 one:

(package/inherit qemu
(arguments `(#:system "i686-linux" ,@(package-arguments qemu))))

Likewise for AArch64/ARMv7.

How does that sound?

Thanks,

Sure--cmake upstream will fix it anyway and make a new release.

But I now opened bug# 43591 on guix-patches in order to find all the OTHER
problems this causes we didn't see yet. I already ran it on my laptop in
order to find all the users trying to stick a 64-bit value into a 32-bit
slot and it looks very bad--there are instances of this problem in libstdc++,
binutils bfd etcetc.

I suggest to delete all ARM substitutes that were built on x86_64 machines
and disable the builders using x86_64 to build ARM stuff in the mean time.
What that has built is VERY MUCH not reliable since readdir() was broken
sporadically--and compilers need that :P

Sure.

I'm still hoping we can skip the workaround and do the right thing instead
(compiling everything with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 regardless of architecture).

I thought this matter with making everyone use LFS was settled in about
2007--but no, here we go again :(

Even if we did the workaround with qemu here, that still means the kernel
(via a compatibility layer) is going to lie to qemu about file offsets and
directory entry hashes. That doesn't sound good for reproducibility.

Also, I want to be clear that qemu is not at fault here.

It's fundamentally unsound to call getdents64 and expect a value with less
than 64 bits back. But that is what glibc does.

Users (other packages) who use _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=32 (by not setting
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS at all) in 2020, those are at fault.

Toggle quote (2 lines)
> Likewise for AArch64/ARMv7.

I do not think the X86_32 compatibility layer works on aarch64, so now we have
a problem. That means building stuff for ARMv7 on aarch64 is not reliable at
all.

The right fix is to always use "-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64" in user space. Then
none of this weird stuff needs to be done.

Hmm.

Could I have access to a aarch64 build machine? Or am I able to cause
a aarch64 build machine to evaluate a new wip branch?

I want to find out what it actually does in the case that aarch64 is used to
run armv7 stuff. Does it have a compat layer in the kernel or not?

How about all the other 64 bit architectures that have a 32 bit compat
fallback in hardware? Do those have a compat layer in the kernel or not?

You’re listed in overdrive.scm in maintenance.git, so you must have

What are the odds of a build succeeding in the presence of broken
getdents/readdir? Wouldn’t such builds simply fail (as in the CMake
case), as opposed to succeeding but somehow producing invalid binaries?

We can still disabled emulated builds on ci.guix.gnu.org, but let’s
first make sure we understand the practical impact of this bug.

I don't know what hashing mechanism ext4 uses, but I guess the odds are not
that high IF THE DIRECTORY IS RANDOM. If it's crafted by a malicious person,
all bets are off.

However, notice that glibc can only fail out of readdir once it gets an *actual*
value >= 2**32. It's totally possible in principle to have a directory with
200 entries, the first 100 of which have d_off < 2**32, and the 101st has
d_off >= 2**32. Readdir will only stop after having given back 100 entries
to the caller. The caller most likely will process those 100 entries.
That's it, you've just forgotten to install/copy/read/whatever half the files.

Technically the caller could examine errno to find out that something bad
happened while using readdir, but odds are that they don't (I haven't seen
anyone do that in my entire career)--and also the error code they are using
is undocumented[1]. So even a person who would check wouldn't expect this
error value (errno == EOVERFLOW). In short, it won't work in practice.

We need non-emulated builds to compare.

If a real ARM machine uses substitutes for anything, it probably picks up
now-untrustworthy builds made by x86_64 for ARM and builds on top of those.

Or don't they use substitutes?
In that case everything would be OK-ish.
Otherwise huge mess...

[1] "man getdents64" does not list EOVERFLOW--at least not for me.

I'd like to test what happens if one builds json-c on an aarch64 host
for i686.

Could we enable qemu-binfmt for i686 on an aarch64 host for me to test it?

One machine is enough--I'd just run

guix environment -s i686-linux gcc-toolchain -- gcc -o a00 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=xxx a00.c

and then later

guix build -s i686-linux json-c

on it.

a00.c:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <assert.h>
#include <dirent.h>
#if defined( __ILP32__ )
#warning ILP32
#endif

int main() {
DIR* d;
struct dirent* ent;
d = opendir("tmp");
errno = 0;
assert(sizeof(ent->d_off) == sizeof(off_t));
while ((ent = readdir(d)) != NULL) {
printf("off=%llX, ino=%llX\n", (unsigned long long) ent->d_off, (unsigned long long) ent->d_ino);
}
if (errno)
perror("readdir");
return sizeof(off_t);
}

I am working (or rather, the machine is compiling) to set it up on dover.
When it is finished, I will keep you updated (it may take a while, since
I did a "guix pull", and now it will also compile a new kernel).

you can give it a try on dover.guix.info, but you should be ready for
a wait: As other build machines, it does not use substitutes, so everything
will be built locally using qemu-binfmt. Maybe you could import what
is needed for the "guix environment" from an i686 machine?

I would suggest to do a "guix pull --commit=0939462e3f81bc98b38bdb7610e6a80ca1cbaa1b",
since this is the version already available on the machine.

I think you can just run ‘qemu-i386 /path/to/your/program’; no need for

Sure, but I want to know what happens to json-c. That sounds like a lot of
manual invocations (like about 20000--for invocations of "configure", "gcc",
including all the dependencies etcetc).

Andreas Enge already tried to configure dover.guix.info to uses qemu-binfmt
to emulate i686-linux, but apparently it doesn't work (on dover.guix.info):

Also, this file exists, and is for i686, and if I invoke it using

/gnu/store/mzfkrxd4w8vqrmyrx169wj8wyw7r8i37-bash -c "echo foo"

then it works (which means the qemu transparent emulation picks it us).

Do we know which bit of json-c’s ‘configure’ draws an incorrect
conclusion?

That’s to little context for me to say much (I’d need to see the command
at least) but it could be that it’s trying to run i686 code on ARM or
similar.

At least I don't. I don't even have a homedir on dover.guix.info, so I cannot
run guix pull, guix describe, or really anything that is interesting on there.

Andreas knows maybe--it works for him.

Note that /gnu/store/mzfkrxd4w8vqrmyrx169wj8wyw7r8i37-bash is an i686 executable
on dover.

Running it just like this

/gnu/store/mzfkrxd4w8vqrmyrx169wj8wyw7r8i37-bash

it works there on dover!

In order to reproduce the problem, you can log into dover.guix.info and then
run

guix build -s i686-linux json-c

.

Andreas knows more and can do much more on that machine.

this is a problem I have now seen at least three times, so I have opened

Your may also send email to 43720@debbugs.gnu.org to comment.

(Nit: s/Your/You/ :)

I am wondering what the difference is besides the browser interface,
in regards to how the submission gets logged, stored, and re-distributed.
