HEADSUP: Python 2.7 upgrade

HEADSUP: Python 2.7 upgrade

[Yaakov]

Jason Tishler announced last month[1] that he intends to upgrade Python
to 2.7 on 01 February, which is quickly approaching.

If anybody needs them, my Python-dependent distro packages have been rebuilt and are available in a staging area here:

ftp://ftp.cygwinports.org/pub/cygwinports/uploads/

In order to assure a prompt and smooth transition to Python 2.7, the
following packages will need a rebuild/update:

Jari Aalto: bzr, codeville, getmail, mercurial, offlineimap, planet,
pylint, python-crypto, python-feedparser, python-logilab-astng, 
python-logilab-common, python-paramiko, spambayes, stgit, tailor,
urlgrabber
Marco Atzeri: postgresql
Ken Brown: bzr-fastimport, python-fastimport
Jan Nieuwenhuizen: lilypond
Bo Peng: lyx
David Rothenberger: rdiff-backup, subversion
Chris Sutcliffe: googlecl, python-gdata
Samuel Thibault: brltty, python-pyrex
Dr. Volker Zell: lcms, ming

TIA,


Yaakov

postgresql upgrade is blocked by a rebase/objcopy issue

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-01/msg00199.html

also patching cygport to use
  "--long-section-names enable"  together with "--add-gnu-debuglink"

one of the dll "dict_snowball-dll" causes rebase to segfault

I am not sure if it is objcopy creating a bugged debuglink dll,
or it is rebase incorrectly choking on it.

As workaround, I can release 9.2.2 without debug symbols,
but I will prefer that we understand ,possibly solve,
the issue before.

I debugged this last week, and I don't see how this could be a rebase
bug.  The layout of the relocation information is basically an array
of relocation blocks, like this:

  .reloc section
    block1
      header
	base offset
	sizeof following array
      array of 2 byte values with:
	4 bit relocation type
	12 bit offset from base offset
    block2
      [...]

The size of the .reloc section in the file header does not indicate how
long the relocation information in the section actually is.  Usually the
section is larger than the actual relocation info.  The end of the
relocation info is indicated by a block header with a base offset of 0
and a sizeof of 0, let's call it the NULL block.

What I could reproduce using Marco's ltree.dll example was this:

After adding the .gnu_debuglink section, the former NULL block suddenly
contained some seemingly random values.  So rebase rightfully assumed
that another relocation block is following.  So it happily tried further
to relocate the file, until the address falls outside of the allocated
memory block, which resulted in the SEGV.

To me this indicates a bug in objcopy.

ok Corinna,
but on dict_snowball I see a that rebase is
changing the next section after .reloc

it is not touching the 00  at the end of
the .reloc section from 0003 6a60 to 0003 6bf0

while is touching the debug section
from 0003 6c00 to 0003 df00

At least it should stop at the end of the .reloc
section anyway

rebase does not change the .reloc section.  It uses the information
in the .reloc section to change other file information.  Feel free
to debug rebase yourself.

as soon I will understand how PE-COFF should be,

Strip copies the whole .reloc section, including entries for removed 
debug sections. This is documented in rebase/README. Rebase checks for 
this condition in Relocations::relocate and silently ignores wrong 
entries. Well, except in Marco's dict_snowball.dll.

VirtualSize (offset 8 in section header) should be exact. There are no 
terminator zero block, but can be zero section padding. VirtualSize + 
padding = SizeOfRawData.

probably the FixImage does no work as rebase is not applied
to the stripped dll, but after the addittion of the
.gnu_debuglink section. The section is small and usually
it is not likely to be covered by the reloc table.
Postgresql has 77 dll's and only 1 hit the problem.

I also noted that using "gcc -shared" instead of "dllwrap" produce
a dict_snowball.dll without the reloc table covering the ".debug_*"

$ objdump -p dict_snowball.dll |grep Virtual

As workaround I will deploy a postgresql release without
debug symbols.

Changing the build system to not use dllwrap will
take some additional time, specially for the testing all
the 77 dll's behaviour.

Indeed. Rebase checks whether the base address in a relocation block 
points into an existing section. It does, because there is 
.gnu_debuglink, but this section is only 0x200 bytes while a relocation 
block covers 0x1000 bytes, so rebase segfaults if we have a relocation 
in this gap.

Another workaround would be fixing .reloc between stripping and adding 
.gnu_debuglink. Running `make rebase.exe' in rebase/imagehelper creates 
a rebase which have an -f flag for this. (But it inserts a zero 
terminator block instead of changing VirtualSize, so it may or may not 
work.)

Are you implying that rebase (or better: the included imagehelper lib)
is doing the right thing, or not?  The size of the reloc section is
taken from SizeOfRawData.  Relocations::check checks if the data is
within a valid section.  I just don't see what it's doing wrong there.

Rebase is not doing wrong. It works on rebasing the stripped file,
as the excess relocation table have no sectors to match.
Unfortunately on the stripped + debug link there is a small
chance that the additional .gnu_debuglink is inside the addresses
of excess relocation table.
Rebase has no way to know that .gnu_debuglink was added later.

In theory both these will help to solve the matter:
-strip should sanitize the .reloc table, but it doesn't care.
-dllwrap should not make binary with relocation of the debug area

It is clear a corner case; my workaround is no debug info when
using dllwrap. Unlikely to happen on general cases

Marco

This problem is unrelated to the segfault.

Relocations::relocate does a strange thing that works by accident. See 
this condition:

  &relocp->SizeOfBlock < (PDWORD) ((char *)relocs + size)
  && relocp->SizeOfBlock != 0;

After the last relocation block, the first half of the condition is 
false if we have 0 or 1 DWORD of padding, and the second half is false 
if the second DWORD of padding is 0. As paddings should be all zeros, 
this condition always terminates the loop, but I wouldn't write it in 
this way. A better form is something like
relocp < relocs + virtual_size

Relocations::fix is broken, but hopefully it doesn't run on dlls not 
created by dllwrap. It should set VirtualSize and zero out the remaining 
part of .reloc. Right now it leaves a .reloc with an invalid, 0-size 
block and additional garbage.

I don't need more time for my packages.  I've got them ready, and I'll 
just test them before sending an RFU after your release.

Could you do that so now in order that we can upload these

Upon further examination, it appears that lilypond need NOT be rebuilt,
so that leaves:

Bo Peng: lyx
Samuel Thibault: brltty (python-brlapi), python-pyrex
Dr. Volker Zell: (python-)lcms, (python-)ming

lyx is just a matter of bytecode recompilation, but the others will be
completely broken by the upgrade until they are rebuilt.  I'm a bit
concerned about python-pyrex as a build-time dep for other packages;
the others show no reverse dependencies in distro nor Ports.

Either way, unless you're pulling the trigger right now, could we wait
at least 48 hours so that I can be online to coordinate the upload?

More specifically, that file must also be executable; chmod -x that file
during src_install should avoid the problem.

I'm not sure yet which commit would have caused the change in
behaviour, but make sure the cygclass providing the desired
src_compile/src_install (which may be "autotools") is at inherit()ed
last.

Samuel,

Yours are the last packages that need to be updated for Python 2.7.
Will you be able to take care of these in the next few days?

Most probably not.  I'm afraid I've been completely unable to follow
the cygwin discussions of the past months, so I completely missed the
HEADSUP.

I'm wondering whether I can really say I'm able to maintain these
packages.

Thank you for the response.  I'll go ahead and mark your packages up
for grabs for now; if your situation does change in the meantime, we'll
be glad to have you back.

Jason,

Everything but python-brlapi is in place now, so I think we're
ready to do this.  Shall I mark 2.7.3-1 stable and move everything in?

Sounds good.  How should we handle the announcement(s)?  Should each
maintainer send their own announcement(s)?  Or, should one coordinated
announcement be sent?

I really appreciate your help with this upgrade.

Thanks,
Jason

Go ahead and announce 2.7.3, and mention prominently that
Python-dependent packages have been rebuilt accordingly.  Everyone else
can make their announcements on their schedule.

Python 2.7.3 has been made stable, and all your packages have been
moved into release.  Thank you all for helping make this happen in a
timely fashion.

And especially thanks to you for organizing this switch!  We just don't
have enough gold stars to give you the number you deserve :)
