[PATCH] Apparent thinko in closures.c causing GCC bootstrap failure on Cygwin

[PATCH] Apparent thinko in closures.c causing GCC bootstrap failure on Cygwin

[Dave Korn]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2665 bytes --]


    Hello lists,

  Some minor fallout resulting after the libffi merge.  The code in closures.c
is currently structured like this:

> #if !defined(X86_WIN32) && !defined(X86_WIN64)
> /* Use these for mmap and munmap within dlmalloc.c.  */
> static void *dlmmap(void *, size_t, int, int, int, off_t);
> static int dlmunmap(void *, size_t);
> #endif /* !defined(X86_WIN32) && !defined(X86_WIN64) */
> 
> #define mmap dlmmap
> #define munmap dlmunmap
> 
> #include "dlmalloc.c"
> 
> #undef mmap
> #undef munmap
> 
> #if !defined(X86_WIN32) && !defined(X86_WIN64)
> 
>  [ definitions of dlmmap, dlmunmap ]
> 
> #endif

  It currently causes bootstrap failure on cygwin like this:

libtool: link: /gnu/gcc/obj-patched3/./gcc/gcj

  Ignoring the dwarf error, which is caused by an unrelated problem, it looks
to me like the intent of the above code is to provide - only on non-windows
platforms - these two replacement functions and override dlmalloc's use of
mmap/munmap with them.  But in that case, the #defines should be inside the
#if guards as well, otherwise we're unconditionally doing the replacement but
only conditionally supplying the replacement functions!

  I'm testing the attached on Cygwin.  I'm not set up for win64 testing but I
don't suppose it offers dl* functions either; I'll see if I can find one of
the w64 guys to comment.

libffi/ChangeLog:

	* closures.c (mmap, munmap):  Don't define replacement macros pointing
	to dl* versions on windows platforms.

  Assuming it passes bootstrap, OK?

    cheers,

When compiling for windows, there shouldn't be any mmap/munmap  
references at all.  While cygwin may supply some version of these,  
dlmalloc defines w32mmap/w32unmap which directly calls the appropriate  
routines for windows when WIN32 is defined (which I believe is always  
the case for the mingw compiler).

Apparently the cygwin build is defining macros differently than -mno- 
cygwin (which is what I use for w32/w64), resulting in extant  
references to mmap/munmap.

Have you run the tests on a system with DEP enabled (System control  
panel->Performance Options->Data Execution Prevention)?  That's likely  
the only place they'd fail if mmap isn't set up correctly.  Prior to  
the w64 patches the dlmalloc stuff never enabled the w32 mmap  
equivalents, so it was always using vanilla malloc for closures.

I don't think this is anything to do with the merge, it's Timothy's
Windows changes.

So can we get back to the status quo ante for Cygwin?

  Yes, you are correct, it's more recent than the merge.

  Yes, -mno-cygwin is *very* different from -mcygwin!

  When you use "-mno-cygwin" you are basically using a cross compiler
targeting MinGW.  MinGW is built upon the MSVC runtime and only supports the
functionality offered by the windows C library.  Cygwin on the other hand is
an entire POSIX-compatibility layer.  So when you are using Cygwin you are
programming for a very different target environment, and the compiler defines
appropriate macros to help.

  I haven't tried that yet.  We have code in libgcc to make stack space
executable (so that trampolines don't get broken by DEP), but nothing
equivalent for heap space.  ISTM we might want the Cygwin DLL to render mmap'd
space executable by default, I don't know; might have to suggest that to the
Cygwin list.

  I'll take a look at the dlmalloc w32 functions and see whether it makes more
sense to enable them on cygwin, or to use cygwin's POSIX mmap/munmap, or
perhaps even to just enable the dlmmap/dlmunmap implementations.  More later;
consider the patch submission temporarily on hold.

    cheers,
      DaveK

yeah, yeah, I know that in general.  I was referring to a very narrow  
scope...

mmap has explicit flags to ask for read/write/execute, which  
presumably cygwin's DLL appropriately maps to the VirtualMalloc  
equivalents somewhere down the line.

While following the *nix variants and wrapping the mmap/munmap calls  
with dlmmap/dlunmap (to add the exec flag) seems like the consistent  
thing to do for cygwin, in this case cygwin is only going to insert  
some translation code between the ultimate calls to VirtualAlloc/ 
VirtualFree.

  Actually, it may well need to do some behind-the-scenes bookkeeping in order
to support fork semantics (which don't come naturally to windows!).  I'll
generate a patch that enables the dlmmap/dlmunmap functions on Cygwin;
sticking to the standard POSIX APIs is the best thing to do.  Patch withdrawn;
respin to follow.  Thanks for the advice.
