DHCP page fault
MagnusS opened this issue · 13 comments
When I run the static-website or stackv4 examples from mirage-skeleton under Xen they page fault with DHCP. Static IP seems to work fine. I use Xen 4.4 in Virtualbox (with Ubuntu 14.10 Server) and Mirage 2.0 from the main opam repo.

disas says 0x151b17 is in memmove
time for some printf debugging to narrow down where the fault is occurring...probably in the dhcp code in mirage-tcpip
After doing some more testing it turns out that static IP doesn't work either. Interestingly, the static IP kernel only seems to crash after it has received (or tried to reply to) two IP packets. It crashes with TCP SYNs on closed and open ports and with ICMP packets. ARP seems to work fine.
gdb disas reports that the page faults are in caml_tcpip_ones_complement (ICMP) and caml_tcpip_ones_complement_list (TCP SYN).
If I edit lib/tcpip_checksums.ml to use caml_ones_complement and caml_ones_complement_list (not caml_tcpip_*) that fixes the problem.
If I replace mirage-tcpip/lib/checksums_stubs.c with mirage-platform/xen/runtime/xencaml/checksum_stubs.c and rename the C functions to caml_tcpip_* the kernel still crashes.
It would be good to take this binary image and run it on a real Xen box to determine if it's a vbox specific problem or not.

@MagnusS what's the difference in the disassembly of the two versions of ones_complement?
I don't have access to a real Xen server at the moment, but I installed the older Ubuntu 14.04 w/Xen in vbox and ran the same examples. The gcc in 14.04 is older - 4.8 vs 4.9 in 14.10. The unikernels compiled in Ubuntu 14.04 works without page fault in both 14.04 and 14.10.
As caml_ones_complement_checksum (which works) is from libxencaml.a and caml_tcpip_ones_complement_checksum (which doesn't work) is from libtcpip_stubs.a, I checked if there were differences in how the libraries were compiled. The only flag used to compile checksum_stubs.c in libtctip_stubs.a is -O2. The flags used for libxencaml.a are (without -D/U/I/W etc) -O3 -mno-red-zone -fno-tree-loop-distribute-patterns -fno-stack-protector -fno-reorder-blocks -fstrict-aliasing -m64 -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -momit-leaf-frame-pointer -mfancy-math-387.
I compiled libtcpip_stubs.a with the flags above in Ubuntu 14.10 and the DHCP and static IP versions of static_website now seem to work without page fault.
I guess the -mno-red-zone is the most likely cause (I'm not sure how Mini-OS on x86 handles the stack).
@avsm what prevents normal OCaml code from assuming a red zone? Do we just hope that ocamlopt doesn't do that?
Yes, we absolutely must compile with no red zone on MiniOS/x86_64, since it doesn't work when the whole application is running in a privileged ring.

I can confirm that the page fault is fixed in 14.10 with -mno-red-zone and -fno-stack-protector. Ubuntu patches gcc to enable stack protector by default: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Features
