The signal frame has been resolved successfully. But the following codes get wrong pc value:
/* A signal frame will have a return address pointing to
__default_sa_restorer. This code is hardwired as:
0xd2801168 movz x8, #0x8b
0xd4000001 svc 0x0
*/
if (pc[0] != MOVZ_X8_8B || pc[1] != SVC_0)
{
return _URC_END_OF_STACK;
}
In this stack frame, the pc value is 0x4cd, which causes this bug.

It is only 64bit away from the correct parent frame.
The corrupted frame located at 0x12c524 in the file, the related FDE is :
000280a0 00000014 0002801c FDE cie=00000088 pc=0012c48c...0012c584

DW_CFA_nop:
0x12c48c: CFA=reg31
0x12c494: CFA=reg31+144: reg30=[CFA-16]
Then we should calculate 0x0000007fffffe190 + 144 - 16 = 0x7fffffe210, which is actually the correct address. The dwarf information is actually correct. It seems that the problem locates in the libgcc?

Thanks for @SchrodingerZhu . I have tried to use nongnu libunwind and the unw_xxx API to get the backtrace in arm. It works surprisingly well!
The modification on backtrace-rs can be found in https://github.com/YangKeao/backtrace-rs/commit/ee71341ca6a1ea68e2c60677a4d9b31f0042378b

Great progress! I will also continue to help test nongnu/linunwind based backtrace in signal handler.
Hi @YangKeao, what is your test env? Have you tested it on darwin+aarch64 (m1)? If not, I will make up for this part.
glad to see this
@mornyx
No. I only test it on raspberry pi.
nongnu-libunwind seems to be a good solution then. it will also not break TiFlash (where rust and c++ transits), while llvm-libunwind has problem handling that solution.
cc @YangKeao
Cool. Then I could move on fixing this issue in these steps:
- Add support to unwind with
unw_xxxAPIs, and allow users to (dynamically) link with nongnu-libunwind. - Allow statically compile with nongu-libunwind, which could be more convenient for
tikv-serverto distribute. In this case, the other functions inlibgcc_swill also be overridden (e.g._Unwind_Backtrace).
BTW, some magic (like rewriting the symbol name with objcopy) can also be tried, but I'm not sure it will work perfectly. As a .a file has many .o files, and they could call each other, it means we should also rewrite the calling symbol (relocation rules), not only the exposed symbol, which could be hard to do perfectly.
/cc @BusyJay @sticnarf
What's your opinion on linking nongu-libunwind with tikv-server?
Why Rust choose llvm libuwind in the first place?
Why Rust choose llvm libuwind in the first place?
Default Rust unwind implementation is libgcc_s. I think this is because the C runtime libgcc_s is provided by almost all Linux distributions.
BTW, some magic (like rewriting the symbol name with
objcopy) can also be tried, but I'm not sure it will work perfectly. As a.afile has many.ofiles, and they could call each other, it means we should also rewrite the calling symbol (relocation rules), not only the exposed symbol, which could be hard to do perfectly.
Is it possible to patch the nongnu libunwind code? For example, to avoid overriding _Unwind_Backtrace, just remove the _Unwind_Backtrace provided by nongnu libunwind. And the unw_ prefix might also be patched?

I could try.
@sticnarf @mornyx Building nongnu-libunwind without enable-cxx-exceptions will not build the function _Unwind_XXX (e.g. _Unwind_Backtrace), which is also the default behavior of the nongnu-libunwind shipped by ubuntu. I think it's fine to directly static-link with it.
The libunwind-sys needs to be modified to support static link. I will try to modify it and submit a PR.
nongnu/libunwind does not support macOS. I implemented a custom unwind library on macOS using pure Rust. I avoid handling signal frame by using ucontext in the perf_signal_handler's param list (which contains the register context before the signal frame). It seems to work well in TiKV so far, I will clean up the code and submit a PR soon.

Additional info: I previously wrote a minimal Rust demo to test nongnu/libunwind on AArch64+Linux, it still panics in debug mode, but works fine in release mode (seems).
So please help to confirm that nongnu/libunwind works successfully in TiKV compiled in debug mode, maybe it is the problem of my demo. cc @YangKeao

The debug vs release mode difference may be related to inlining..

But from the nongnu libunwind doc, we need to use unw_init_local2 and pass special flag if we are using it in a signal handler. I guess if the problem is related to this.

On ARM+macOS, we can be confident that the frame-pointer exists and we can take advantage of this. And because our stacktrace scene only exists in signal handler, we can use the ucontext provided by kernel to skip the signal frame. Here is my implementation: https://github.com/mornyx/unwind
Then I introduced this implementation in pprof-rs:
https://github.com/mornyx/pprof-rs/commit/a68772cb4093c8e31064f5516520afb1cb692aa3
And it worked fine in TiKV (based on sysbench stress):

In fact I also tried parsing compact unwind info (the __unwind_info section of the binary on macOS). It does not contain the function index in the darwin-xnu kernel (as discussed in https://github.com/tikv/tikv/issues/9957).
on macos, I think libunwind is referring to llvm's libunwind. As I early mentioned in the internal chat, at least on linux, llvm's libunwind would parse rust's debug CFI wrongly. This actually forbids the tiflash team from using the lib when migrating to LLVM toolchain.

@.***sticnarf Can you help me to check whether the released pprof-rs will cause the bug in macOS? It seems that the macos has its own unwind library, which "may" be better than
libgcc. If the released pprof-rs and tikv-server can work properly on M1 Mac, then we only need to handle this issue on linux.Actually tikv/tikv#9957 (comment) still segfaults on latest macOS :(

From the graph you posted, the result looks distorted.
For example, I never see _get_attr_list so frequently sampled. And a lot of stacks seem missing in the grpc part.
I guess many frame pointers are not actually emitted or they are not properly parsed.
I suppose frame pointers cannot be used for inlined functions while dwarf section can still be used locate inline functions.
I suppose frame pointers cannot be used for inlined functions while dwarf section can still be used locate inline functions.
I tested it on newer versions of macOS, and in fact the binary only contains the __unwind_info segment, no longer the __eh_frame segment. The point is that __unwind_info does not contain inline information either. However backtrace::resolve() can correctly call callback for inlined functions.
The demo below confirms this point:
use unwind::{init_unwind_context, UnwindContext};
fn main() {
func1_inlined();
}
#[inline(always)]
fn func1_inlined() {
func2();
}
fn func2() {
unsafe {
let mut context = UnwindContext::default();
init_unwind_context(&mut context as _);
show(context.pc);
// jump to next frame
context.pc = *std::mem::transmute::<_, *const u64>(context.fp + 8);
context.fp = *std::mem::transmute::<_, *const u64>(context.fp);
show(context.pc);
}
}
unsafe fn show(pc: u64) {
println!("{:#x}", pc);
backtrace::resolve(std::mem::transmute(pc), |s| {
println!("{:?}", s.name());
});
}
output:
0x100a82ffc
Some(demo::func2::ha91bc1d34ffee8cf)
0x100a82fd4
Some(demo::func1_inlined::h45123ba64dc5a176)
Some(demo::main::h9c57e81ec6be060b)
Looking at 0x100a82fd4, we got two functions for one pointer, including the one which is inlined.
