Bug Description

Bug first appeared last week after updating to Firefox 10 using Synaptic. Original symptom was crashing Firefox when navigating a site I'm developing (which logs a lot to console in development environment). Further discovery indicated that I could crash Firefox by clicking on the DOM tab in Firebug. At that point, I re-installed Firefox, created a new profile, re-installed Firebug and could still reproduce the crash. I created a new user on my system, repeated the prior steps, same result. After some searching, I found these discussions:

http://groups.google.com/group/firebug/browse_thread/thread/bfb5a8b038ef2328/65171984c28775a1?show_docid=65171984c28775a1#

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=725619

At which point, I tried simply opening the Web Console and typing print, which would crash the browser before finishing typing the command, even with a clean install and no plug-ins.

I get semi-random crashes while running the Firefox developer tools mochitests on my machine.

This started happening since I pulled https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Fx-Team&rev=9d697ecaf161 ... and it still happens, even with the latest fx-team code.

Tests from the Style Inspector, Source Editor and from the Web Console cause crashes, in opt and dbg builds.

I am not sure if the component I picked is correct, I just saw the crasher is related to js/Vector.h and jscntxt.h, etc.

Going to attach gdb stacktraces.

msucan says you can trigger this like so:

  - build with --enable-debug on Linux x86-64
  - start the browser
  - open the console (Ctrl+Shift+K)
  - type w

The console's auto-complete feature triggers the assertion.

Peter, can you please look into this? I haven't seen anyone who can repro the crasher. I can't even repro the crasher with tinderbox builds. This happens only on my own local builds.

if I set pref("dom.new_bindings", false) I still get the crash.

I have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (amd64), gcc 4.4.3 (from official repos), everything up-to-date. Please let me know if you need any additional technical info about my build setup.

Thank you!

That'd be very surprising, that changeset adds code that isn't actually used (later patches cause it to be used).

Even nightly builds I get from mozilla.org work fine. It's certainly a problem (only?) on my machine. Only my local builds crash...

Heh, surprising indeed. Unfortunately, that's what I found yesterday...

Are you on IRC, by any chance? I can try things live, as you see fit.

Anything I can help with debugging this crasher? Are the gdb stack traces of any help?

Thank you!

The gdb traces are in JS engine code that's unrelated to that changeset. Are you saying that without that changeset you can't reproduce at all and with it you can 100% of the time? If so, can you try removing just the change in qsgen.py from that changeset?
If that's the changeset that causes it this looks more like a compiler bug.

If I take out the qsgen.py change I get no crash. I can always reproduce this.

Can you please try with Ubuntu 10.04 on your machine? Compile Firefox and run the tests. Please make sure the OS is up-to-date (gcc 4.4.3).

Thank you!

It looks like, yes, we can blame gcc 4.4.3 having a bug.

I don't think this is only triggered by firebug. Clicking on Firebug's DOM tab is a sure crasher.

Even with firebug disabled, for e.g. other addons such as Awesome Screeshot from Diigo. Take a screenshot -> click Done -> Close Tab and the browser crashes.

Everytime I am closing the browser, it crashes and notifies to submit a bug report:

Here are some that have been uploaded already -

Am moving to official build till we see some solution to this as FF is unsuable on Ubuntu as of now.

This is definitely not limited to Firebug. To reproduce:

Open the Web Console (Ctrl + Shift + K)
Start typing anything
Watch Firefox crash

It only seems to be a problem with the 64 bit Ubuntu and Mozillateam builds, the build straight from Mozilla is unaffected. Based on my experience and the comments from https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=725619 this seems limited to the 64 bit build running on Ubuntu 10.04, but it's possible that 32 bit users on other version of Ubuntu simply haven't reported in.

I was using the Next repo for a while before 11 was stable and this problem cropped up some time before the new year, maybe that'll help you track down the bug. I've tried running the mozregression tool but can't reproduce the problem in any versions with that since it's not a problem in the builds (even nightlies) coming from Mozilla directly.

Like the post above me, I've moved to the official build as the builds from Ubuntu and Mozillateam are completely unusable for anyone doing web development.

I did some more debugging of this this morning, and here is a summary of what I found:

- js::Vector<long, 8ul, js::TempAllocPolicy>::calculateNewCapacity() doesn't actually appear to be inlined by the compiler in both the working / non-working cases.

- Using JS_NEVER_INLINE for js::Vector<T,N,AP>::calculateNewCapacity() makes the problem go away.

- In the non-working case with gcc-4.4, js::Vector<long, 8ul, js::TempAllocPolicy>::calculateNewCapacity() appears to be completely optimized for the append() case (ie, it completely ignores lengthInc, and just assumes this is always 1). This can be seen by looking at the generated code:

0000000000da3b9a <js::Vector<long, 8ul, js::TempAllocPolicy>::growStorageBy(unsigned long)>:
  da3b9a: 41 54 push %r12
  da3b9c: 48 8d 47 20 lea 0x20(%rdi),%rax
  da3ba0: 55 push %rbp
  da3ba1: 53 push %rbx
  da3ba2: 48 89 fb mov %rdi,%rbx
  da3ba5: 48 83 ec 10 sub $0x10,%rsp
  da3ba9: 48 39 47 08 cmp %rax,0x8(%rdi)

Up until here, %rdi contains our instance pointer, and %rsi contains "incr". 0x8(%rdi) is the pointer to "mBegin" and 0x20(%rdi) is "storage". The last instruction is usingInlineStorage().

  da3bad: 48 8b 77 10 mov 0x10(%rdi),%rsi

Y'ouch. This overwrites "incr" with "mLength", which then gets passed to calculateNewCapacity() here:

  da3bb1: 48 8d 54 24 08 lea 0x8(%rsp),%rdx
  da3bb6: 75 68 jne da3c20 <js::Vector<long, 8ul, js::TempAllocPolicy>::growStorageBy(unsigned long)+0x86>
  da3bb8: e8 85 ff ff ff callq da3b42 <T.2961>

%rdx now contains the address of where calculateNewCapacity() will store "newCap"

I'm not sure what this is doing, but it seems to pretty much boil down to "move 0x1 to (%rdx):

0000000000da3b42 <T.2961>:

I'm not convinced this is a compiler bug at all now. The implementation of js::Vector<long, 8ul, js::TempAllocPolicy>::growStorageBy(unsigned long) in jswrapper.o looks correct, and is actually perfectly ok. The issue is that another implementation of this is getting linked in to the final .so instead (from js/xpconnect/src/dombindings.o, which is also using js::AutoIdVector - see dombindings.cpp). This implementation is optimized differently because it only uses js::AutoIdVector::append(), which explains my finding in comment 19.

This also explains comment 5.

I imagine that it's just pure luck that this works with newer gcc versions...

Yeah, but the weak symbol is .hidden so it should be ignored by linker.

I've just confirmed the presence of this bug in Maverick with Firefox 10.0.2-ubuntu.

1) Start firefox
2) Open the console tab in firebug
3) write "self"
4) Firefox crashes.

I've tested with a clean Firefox 10.0.2 version from Mozilla's website and the problem isn't there, which means this is definitely an issue with Ubuntu's Firefox version.

I did successfully build a standard firefox build from hg tip locally and it did not crash. I used gcc 4.4.4-14ubuntu5.1 which had the gcc fix included so I am not sure why the mozillateam build does not work properly.

I was going to check further but my computer overheats when compiling so I will leave it as is.
