Re: Upcoming ABI Breakage in RELENG_7
On Tuesday 29 July 2008 08:45:45 Ken Smith wrote: Normally the FreeBSD Project tries very hard to avoid ABI breakage in Stable Branches. However occasionally the fix for a bug can not be implemented without ABI breakage, and it is decided that the fix warrants the impact of the ABI breakage. We have one of those situations coming along for RELENG_7 (what will become FreeBSD 7.1). The ABI breakage should only impact kernel modules that are not part of the baseline system (those will be patched by the MFC) which deal with advisory locks. As such the impact should not cause many people problems. The work that will be MFCed fixes issues with filesystem advisory locks, and moves the advisory locks list from filesystem-private data structures into the vnode structure. The MFC will be done by Kostantin Belousov some time this coming Friday (August 1st, 2008) if you have concerns and want to watch for it. Thanks. Sometimes information gets posted to this list on the assumption that everyone understand what the writer means. This is one of those occasions!! For those of us who are not as well informed and experienced as others could someone please explain what is meant by an ABI breakage, its implications and how to deal with them.

ABI (Application Binary Interface) is a term used to describe the characteristics of binary (i.e. object-) code when accessed from other binary code. Generally, this entails everything from method signatures over structure sizes to global data (exported symbols) sizes. One example of ABI-breakage, if you're somewhat proficient in C, could be the following: -- Old code (library header) /* Some structure which contains a long, and so has total size four bytes on i386. */ struct x { long y; } __attribute__((packed))__; /* Get access to two x objects. This function is implemented in a shared library. It returns a pointer to eight bytes of memory (2*struct x). */ extern const struct x* getSomeData(); -- Old code (user) long test() { const struct x* ref = getSomeData(); return ref[0].y + ref[1].y; } -- Now, when compiling the user code, it will pick up the specification of the structure x through the library supplied header file, seeing that ref[...].y is a long value (four bytes on i386), and so that will be translated to some machine code which adds four bytes from offset zero (ref[0].y) of the pointer that getSomeData() returns to four bytes from offset four (ref[1].y), and returns the result as a long value. What happens if the following change to the library is made? -- New code (library header) /* Some structure which now contains a short. This reduces the size of the structure to two bytes on i386. */ struct x { short y; } __attribute__((packed))__; /* Get access to two x objects. This function is implemented in a shared library. Due to the change in struct x, this now returns a pointer to (only!) four bytes of storage (2*struct x). */ extern const struct x* getSomeData(); -- The size of the structure member y of structure x has now been reduced to two bytes (because the type was changed from long to short), but the user code doesn't know this, because it was compiled with the old headers. When installing the changed shared library, the old user code will load (!) as before, because the symbol getSomeData() is still exported from the shared library, but will now erraneously load in total eight bytes from a location (because that's hardcoded in the machine code produced for the user binary) where it should only load four bytes from after the incompatible change to the layout of the structure. If you were to recompile the user code after installing the updated shared library, everything would go back to functioning normally, because now the user code picks up the redefined structure x specification which now says that it should load only two bytes from offset zero (ref[0].y) and two bytes from offset two (ref[1].y) of the returned pointer. The API has not changed, because the user code would still compile properly, but the ABI has, and as such object code compiled before the change in the shared library breaks (most often in very mysterious ways). I don't know exactly what will be changed in the kernel to warrant the heads up for this specific case, but as was said, the vnode structure is changed (because data was added to it), and as such the structure specification has changed. If you now have a KLM which expects the old structure layout (because it was compiled before the change), you're bound for trouble, because it does not yet know that the offsets for members and the total size of the vnode structure has changed, and as such all offsets it uses in the vnode structure are broken. So, if you have a binary only kernel module which requires access/uses the vnode structure, you'll have a problem. If not, you don't. Does this help? It sure helps the understanding bit but how about specific instructions about who is to what to do in this instance? i.e. Circumstances and what commands to apply in those circumstances? The general helps understanding.. the specifics provide solutions for the problems!!

Juli 2008 13:03:34 schrieb Ronald Klop: I think in this case (the ABI breakage) it is more nice to say: If you don't know what to do, you wil probably not see any problem because of this. The edge case of what can go wrong is so small, that you must be doing quite specialized stuff to see breakage. In that case you would understand what is going on. (IMHO) Err, no. As someone else has already noted, a prominent KLM that's distributed separately from the kernel which uses the vnode structure extensively (which I didn't think of at all until I read the respective mail) is fuse. A pre-upgrade compiled fuse is most certainly going to break because of this change. Some people have dual installations of Windows/FreeBSD (at least I'd presume that's the case with the fiddlers like me that track -STABLE as a hobby, not as a developer, or those developers who program for Windows as a day-job, also like me) who use ntfs-3g to mount their NTFS-data; additionally, I also extensively use ssh-fs, which is also fuse-based, and I guess there are also others who use it, and so the reach of this ABI-change, at least IMHO, is much larger than the original message makes you believe. Now, after the update, a lot can go wrong, because the fuse KLM is loaded by an init-script, and your system is most probably going to Oops while booting if you didn't think of disabling the fuse init-script before you update your kernel, and will NOT fail gracefully. If the respective person doesn't know how he/she should boot to single-user-mode, update rc.conf to disable this, reboot, rebuild the module to get the system back up, the only thing I can possibly say is: don't track stable. It might've sounded a bit harsh what I wrote, but tracking -STABLE means knowing your system enough so that you know how to fix things if they come back to bite you (especially after getting a HEADS UP). And that doesn't seem to be the case here if the respective person asks for SPECIFIC instructions what to do. So, again: DON'T track -STABLE if you can't fix the system if it breaks, and AFAICT this change is most certainly going to break quite a few systems. Hey I want to thank those that have taken the trouble to explain stuff BUT I also feel the need to object to If you cant then don't kind of mentality. Everyone has to start somewhere!!! A contribution that sounds a bit like saying: Well if you do not have the experience on tracking stable then do not bother to start OR If you do not understand my jargon why should it be explained seems to me to invite a gentle reproof David ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
