Undiscussed Past Horrific Abuse, One Victim Of Many

I'm debugging a slowdown in my data generator for the adapters for semibalanced trees stuff. I have a lightweight c++ iterator to loop through repository references and to find which branch a random commit came from. The hang is happening inside the function that uses this iterator. I have a breakpoint set when a match is found. It extracts the name of the branch and stores it in a static thread local variable, a quick way to reuse heap allocation for dynamic strings. gdb is presently looping on this breakpoint, despite it being followed by a return statement.

i booted up a web browser so as to paste in gdb snippets, and went to get some water while i waited as the system has heavy i/o slowing things down as it collates git commits in the background when i returned gdb had crashed, without any user interaction: Breakpoint 6, repo_commits::remote_name[abi:cxx11](cppgit2::oid const&) (this=0x5555555ac478, commit=...) at process2.cpp:91 (gdb) terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::length_error' what(): cannot create std::vector larger than max_size() Aborted (core dumped) I guess if this stuff gets too weird I might need a [poltergeists] tag or something to go alongside [crazy]

process2.cpp is my code, so i'm imagining the most likely scenario here is that i typed something into gdb that stimulated finding the crash, and forgot when i walked away.

Undiscussed Groomed for Male Slavery, One Victim of Many

4:19 a.m.

ok, this time i stepped into the first call and it turns out the return statement is throwing an exception inside it, and gdb's "step" and "nexti" commands do not step into the exception handler, instead continuing. the iterator theoretically steps to the next value and the breakpoint is hit again. i'm guessing that i had let it run too many times last time, and some bug caused an overflow and memory corruption, maybe

i have things making sense now, having placed a breakpoint inside the exception handler. finally gdb is behaving in a normal way around the issue. i guess it would make sense to run it under valgrind

To clarify here, after posting this email thread, this was the first time gdb would let me inspect the data as the system was running. Previously I was getting errors regarding inability to access thread local data, or to set a breakpoint on the next instruction inside code without debugging symbols. I experienced the looping that appears to now be from a thrown exception (and that looks like what should be happening, the thrown exception) even when I was using the "si" and "ni" commands to single step through individual assembly instructions. Previously, when I used "si" to step into library code that _does_ have debugging symbols, gdb would show ?? for the function name. This time, it let me step into the call and review the exceptional case a little. This is why I consider memory corruption. Not sure what from, the code in the loop is not complex. I have these old gdb interactions in my scrollback buffer, likely, although I have since resized the window containing the tmux session.

so while valgrind finds that the error is my mind, not my system, i'll paste some scrollback in .... here's where i identified that the hang was within the remote_name() function. i set a breakpoint within it and restarted execution: 410 auto remote_name = repo_entry->remote_name(commit_id); (gdb) ^C Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt. 0x00007ffff7bc2292 in ??

I'm guessing the above quote is related to the following then happening.

note: if this were caused by a trojan, malware, virus, etc, it would be important to take a memory image with a 2nd system or dedicated hardware

note: one way to do that, is to suspend the system to disk, and then boot off dedicated media and extract the memory from ram remanence. this approach would fail if an attacker acted to deter it.

i am currently using this system to write this email i do not have boot media prepared, to extract either the disk or the memory i do not have a 2nd system on hand. there are also pci cards that can extract memory; they likely also need a 2nd system. this is a server i am running in the basement of a family member. this family member mentioned a second system being available recently. they are asleep.

for single systems, it would make sense to have a grub mode that produces a hashed memory dump you'd boot to the grub mode, photograph the hash, and upload the image with the photo this would not be bulletproof but would be exotic and strong enough to help

i think there might be a hotkey that makes a dump on linux, something about sysrq near the concept of raising elephants

Undiscussed Groomed for Male Slavery, One Victim of Many

4:53 a.m.

i don't see it in the list on wikipedia: although there is a key to make the system crash, which then theoretically takes a crashdump, maybe just of the kernel though. (alt- "sysrq", "c"; or somesuch) i love imaging systems and storing the images! not what's up atm though. thinking that suspending to disk, you could probably boot a certain way and make a copy of the swap partition. rescue mode maybe? i'm running linux on a macintosh. i'm not sure how the bootloader works. i don't see a grub menu on boot. i set this up following online instructions and don't remember which ones i followed.

seems it would be simplest to enable ram dumping, and just cat the ram and swap to an archive file. the ram dump could be mutated but it would still be expected to explain the behavior in some way.

last time i used line 91 to break after the filter condition. that's the static assignment and could have confused gdb, because it's weird code that is run only on the first function call. i'm breaking on line 92 instead.

reminder to self: the tag in quesiton is 0.10.7, and the goal is to step into libgit, then step into iter->next . the data structure is likely a linked list, so it would be good to inspect it before it is advanced, so the two parts might be visible side by side

kinda frustrating to have my memory of what happened be different from what is happening now, when i'm not aware of having changed anything now that i think about it, i did change something: i installed a debugging version of libgit2. I figured this wouldn't matter, since i didn't relink process2, but since it is a shared library, the new code must be being loaded rather than the old.

i'm stepping through the matching refs to see if the code succeeds with the debugging library loaded. i'm up to pos 2108. there are a lot of matching refs. the current code accumulates refs that aren't branches and then finds how to get their data after the accumulation. i'm realising it could run a lot faster if it searched fro them when it found them, rather than accumulating them.

not actually immediately easy to isolate. forgot i had moved this code so that nonremote branches are handled with an exception. not sure why this call is going so slowly all of a sudden.

Undiscussed Groomed for Male Slavery, One Victim of Many

basically i should be checking whether the reference is a remote using its getter to do so, rather than handling an exception.

Undiscussed Groomed for Male Slavery, One Victim of Many

given it is slow to match remote branches to remotes, i should enumerate them all at the start, since the lookup could happen a lot

Undiscussed Groomed for Male Slavery, One Victim of Many

7:08 a.m.

i'm changing it to enumerate the remote fetchspecs at the start. i'm confused by a compilation error: cppgit2::remote remote = repository.lookup_remote(remote_name); cppgit2::refspec fetchspec = cppgit2::refspec::parse(remote.fetchspec(), true); The error is on the second line, regarding remote.fetchspec(): (6 of 10): error: ‘class cppgit2::remote’ has no member named ‘fetchspec’; did you mean ‘fetch_’? I formed the call from the source of a file named remote.hpp in the cppgit2 sources: // Fetchspec std::string fetchspec() const { return c_ptr_->fetchspec ? std::string(c_ptr_->fetchspec) : ""; } Usually when this happens it is because I am referencing a different class than I am using, I would guess.

yep, this is a nested class called 'create_options'. that's why fetchspec is (i presume, hard to tell the number of spaces) indented by 4 spaces rather than 2. class create_options : public libgit2_api { public:

maybe this is why the checksums of the installed vs built debug libraries differs: -- Installing: /usr/local/lib/libcppgit2.so.0.1.0 -- Installing: /usr/local/lib/libcppgit2.so.1 -- Set runtime path of "/usr/local/lib/libcppgit2.so.0.1.0" to "" -- Installing: /usr/local/lib/libcppgit2.so The runtime path is likely a constant stored in the binary. Changing it would change the sha256sum. libgit2's runtime path is not changed.

after reinstalling this time, i can now step into the dependency code successfully . I'm not aware of having changed anything.

an extant concern is this: Loading commits for ../repos/NWScript/ commit: a7278603f354eb683296f443e49621e50d35fcf0 looping over diff: a7278603f354eb683296f443e49621e50d35fcf0 process2: /usr/include/rapidjson/internal/stack.h:129: T* rapidjson::internal::Stack<Allocator>::PushUnsafe(std::size_t) [with T = char; Allocator = rapidjson::CrtAllocator; std::size_t = long unsigned int]: Assertion `stackTop_ + sizeof(T) * count <= stackEnd_' failed. xargs: ./process2: terminated by signal 6 I got the error just trying to run the code on all the data some hours ago. When I reran the code on only that repository, it enumerated all the commits, despite the trees being very very large, and did not crash at all. I'm currently running it in valgrind to see if there's anything to catch. This is my test commandline: shuf --echo ../repos/*/ --zero-terminated | xargs -0 ./process2 | tee test.json | cut -c1-160 I use zero termination because some of the repo paths (each one is named after a code language, and collects many remotes together written in that language) have spaces in them, which xargs doesn't handle well. It would be helpful to get shuf behaving deterministically. A simple approach would be to cache its output in a file.

I'm guessing that the rapidjson error simply means the input data is unexpectedly larger than the stack space.

But maybe I have a memory leak ! That sounds interesting. Resuming reviewing the commit enumeration code.

how libgit revwalk works: - when initialised with a glob, it iterates all the refs that match the glob and forwards to the procedure that initialises with refs - initialising with refs converts the refs to a name, then to a direct oid, and hands off to the procedure that initialises with commits - it looks like the commit initialisation code (just quickly looking at) likely retains a set of commit objects, and inserts each one to the set, such that adding a commit twice would be a no-op. not certain. the oidmap is stored in walk->commits. (gdb) p commit $5 = (git_commit_list_node *) 0x555555827308 (gdb) p *commit $6 = {oid = {id = "B&\352\071\273\306Ν@\367:\005|O\201H\230\276ʲ"}, time = 0, generation = 0, seen = 0, uninteresting = 0, topo_delay = 0, parsed = 0, added = 0, flags = 0, in_degree = 0, out_degree = 0, parents = 0x0} the "uninteresting" flag appears to be used to hide commits, as if they are not in the list. - there are functions called to perform by commit date Iterating every reference and matching them to a wildcard glob takes some time here. I'm imagining making this faster by enumerating just the references, remotes, branches or such. Ideally remotes, since this maps better to individual projects and codebases: but since so many tags contain orphaned code, it could make sense to instead enumerate all references, not sure. If the remote enumeration code could be combined without too much delay, then nonrepetition of remotes could be included. - when the first item is iterated from the revwalk, it performs initial parsing. there is a commit graph file it uses. - if a commit is uninteresting, it appears to mark all its parents as uninteresting - commits are tracked whether they have been seen already or not. new commits are added to the commit list. this initialisation is in prepare_walk in libgit2/src/revwalk.c:617 or so - when the revwalk is enumerated, commits are popped off the list and returned. each popped commit has its parents added back to the list, to enumerate them. that seems to be the guts of it. it's what you'd expect, but looking at the internals helps me plan how to use them differently much more easily. for example, i did not know there were functions to add references or commit oids, rather than globs.

note: to track nonrepetition in the commit list, the same list node structure that represents every commit is used with its seen flag.

i guess i could think about banning him, it could offer everyone some protection; could you remind me of how? what would i select for the event showing why?
