Description Tsukasa 2019-10-13 21:06:13 UTC
During standard emerge updates, went from dhcpcd-8.0.6 to 8.1.0, upon reboot received messages stating checksum failure from dhcp.server.ip.addy, it kept nfs mounts from working, etc.

downgrading to 8.0.6 restored working functionality.  Please remove/hardmask/fix/report to author that 8.1.0 doesn't function properly

Thanks

Comment 2 Roy Marples 2019-10-13 21:41:22 UTC
Checksums are working fine here.
Can you email me private a wireshark trace of the DHCP transaction please?
Comment 3 Eric Benoit 2019-10-14 08:44:13 UTC
I too have run into this same issue, at least on x86_64. Rebuilding dhcpcd with CFLAGS set to -O0 or -O1 yields a working dhcpcd, but with -O2 we get a checksum failure.
Comment 4 Eric Benoit 2019-10-14 11:58:41 UTC
It seems it may have something to do with the inlining of in_cksum. If I add the volatile keyword to sum within (or otherwise force it to not be inlined) the issue disappears.
Comment 5 Christian Bricart 2019-10-14 14:33:34 UTC
ARCH=~x86 is also affected
Comment 6 Tsukasa 2019-10-14 21:14:03 UTC
I finally have taken a tshark capture 172MB, sent to Roy Marples.

Glad someone else was affected, I was wondering if somehow my systems were unique in some way that was changing the outcome (running nfsroot systems)

net-misc/dhcpcd-8.0.6::gentoo was built with the following:
USE="embedded ipv6 udev" ABI_X86="(64)"
Comment 8 Tomáš Mózes 2019-10-15 04:42:57 UTC
Just to note that the dhcp server runs on Microsoft Windows servers.
Comment 9 Christian Bricart 2019-10-15 07:48:55 UTC
there is some difference in declaration of »uh_sum« and »csum« which comparison finally gets »return«ed in checksums_valid():

checksums_valid(...)
{
  ...
  uint16_t ..., uh_sum;
  ...
  uint32_t csum;
  ...
  return csum == uh_sum;
}

might that be something that is affected to be "optimized" by choosing a higher "-O" in CFLAGS, as this checksum failure seems to happen only with -O2 rather than -O0 or -O1 

(also GCC-9.2.0 with -O2 here)

The patch didn't fix checksum error for me
(GCC-9.2.0-r1, CFLAGS=-O2)

dnsmasq at openwrt as DHCP server here
Comment 13 Ionen Wolkens gentoo-dev 2019-10-15 11:12:26 UTC
Just here to confirm same issues, updated earlier and this started happening. Tried with -O1 and it now works again, the above patch with -O2 didn't help.

I would suggest masking 8.1.0 as soon as possible so fewer affected people are left attempting to fix things without easy connectivity.
Comment 14 Christian Bricart 2019-10-15 11:27:43 UTC
the patch does not fix for me either.

however, I second the proposal that code inlining might be the root cause from comment 4 

if I add "-fno-inline-small-functions" to CFLAGS while keeping "-O2", the resulting binary also works - just like using "-O1".

I see things like

  udp = (struct udphdr *)(void *)((char *)ip + ip_hlen);

in checksums_valid(). Are you sure that cast is valid and does not violate strict-aliasing rules?

(In reply to David Seifert from comment #15)

Likely on to something because -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing produces a working dhcpcd for me.
Comment 17 Christian Bricart 2019-10-15 12:43:18 UTC
I've just checked: it DOES help to prevent in_cksum(..) being inlined automagically by implicit "-finline-small-functions" set by -O2+

changing the declaration from:
> static uint16_t in_cksum(const void *data, size_t len, uint32_t *isum) { .. }
to:
> static __attribute__ ((noinline)) uint16_t in_cksum(const void *data, size_t len, uint32_t *isum) { .. }

produced a working binary - though this stanza is GCC specific.

googled for a portable way and found it might be called through a pointer will also keep it from being inlined:

> static uint16_t in_cksum_ptr(const void *data, size_t len, uint32_t *isum) { .. }
> static uint16_t (*in_cksum)() = in_cksum_ptr;

this also works for me.
Comment 18 Roy Marples 2019-10-15 13:18:20 UTC
Created attachment 592758 [details, diff]
Fix aliasing and sanity.

New patch also copies out UDP header to avoid any aliasing issue.

I don't know why this just broke ..... the UDP reference has been working fine for ages.
Comment 19 Ionen Wolkens gentoo-dev 2019-10-15 13:30:06 UTC
Unfortunately the problem appears to be persisting for me with the new patch, unless I pass -fno-strict-aliasing still.

(In reply to Roy Marples from comment #20)
> Is everyone here using gcc-9? The newest gcc I have is 8.3.
I would assume so, otherwise they'd "likely" be using packages marked stable which mean they'd also still be using dhcpcd 7.2.3 instead. I don't have 8.3 around anymore but let me get this setup and I'll check if it works with it.

I am on gcc 9.2.  However I havent yet had time to evaluate the patch(es) to see if anything changed.

(In reply to Roy Marples from comment #20)
> Is everone here using gcc-9? The newest gcc I have is 8.3.
Well there we have it, it works entirely fine with 8.3 without any patches and -O2. So this is gcc-9 specific.
Comment 24 Roy Marples 2019-10-15 16:44:49 UTC

Have you tried running this code under UBSAN? It is very likely that dhcpcd triggers undefined behavior, given how GCC has been aggressively optimizing code in the presence of undefined behavior in recent releases. Disabling inlining seems to support this argument.

Let's ask toolchain team for their opinion.
Comment 27 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2019-10-15 21:07:51 UTC
I don't thing existing -fsanitize= would catch the bug. Compiler assumes loads and stores to different types are independent.

llvm has something as a work in progress for that: https://reviews.llvm.org/D32199

Does dhcpcd have minimal unit test that exposes failure with and without -fno-strict-aliasing?

When I build dhcp.c locally with and without -fno-strict-aliasing I see a lot of loads and stores reordered across local function calls.

Having concrete function call would help a lot.

I edited dhcp.c to save the packet and captured an invalid checksum.
I copied the checksum code to a small test case file verbtaim and the passed the saved packet to it. Checksum code worked fine, but fails on exactly the same data in dhcpcd. I cannot explain this.

I do have another data point though:
Alpine Linux with gcc-9.2 works fine with dhcpcd-8.1.0.
Arch Linux with gcc-9.2 works fine with dhcpcd-8.1.0.
Devuan Linux with gcc-9.2 fails with dhcpcd-8.1.0.

Looking at generated dhcp.c code everything is inlined into dhcp_readbpf(). Thus you might need to call it as-is.

If I read correctly a diff of '-fverbose-asm' vs '-fverbose-asm -fno-strict-aliasing' checksums_valid() lost reads of ip->ip_src / ip->ip_dst around:

  static bool
  checksums_valid(void *packet,
    struct in_addr *from, unsigned int flags)
  {
    struct ip *ip = packet;
    struct ip pseudo_ip = {
        .ip_p = IPPROTO_UDP,
        .ip_src = ip->ip_src, // <- this 32-bit store
        .ip_dst = ip->ip_dst  // <- and this 32-bit store
    };
    ...
    in_cksum(&pseudo_ip, sizeof(pseudo_ip), &csum);
    ...

and left them uninitialized on stack.

in_cksum() treats 'pseudo_ip' effectively as unint16_t[]. I could see why gcc might decide to consider 32-bit stores and 16-bit loads as not affecting one another and removing "dead" stored of 'pseudo_ip.ip_src'.

I think the only valid interpretation of struct is a uint8_t[].

What is not initialised exactly? We have a compile time assert at the top to ensure that there is no padding in the structure and C member initialisation ensures that all members are set to zero if not specified.

in_cksum is based on RFC 1071 section 4.1 which you'll find in many samples like here:
https://gist.github.com/fakessh/4137434#file-client-c-L34

Are suggesting all these implementations are broken?

It seems like you are ultimately overlaying a uint16_t pointer over struct Packet, which definitely violates strict-aliasing rules. Just because you ensure fields are padded doesn't make this valid. C is not portable assembly.

That's a fair point.

Using a union with struct ip and uint16_t[sizeof(struct ip)] members allow strict aliasing to work with in_cksum.

dhcpcd-8.1.1 has been pushed with this change so should fix this.
At least it does on the one box I can repliate this on.

GCC's optimiser effectively deletes the lines I marked as "// <- ". I suspect it's type based alias analysis but for my own curiosity will check in more detail. The presence of loop also seems to have the effect.

Yes, I think this code snippet is broken at:
    https://gist.github.com/fakessh/4137434#file-client-c-L101

as it also casts a struct* to uint16_t*.

Added trimmed down dhcp.c example. Looks like the loop was not the major issue here. The type cast is enough for gcc to throw away most of struct initializer.

    $ gcc dhcp.c -o dhcp -O2                      && ./dhcp
    packet sum: 0x011f5b
    $ gcc dhcp.c -o dhcp -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing && ./dhcp
    packet sum: 0x005555

Fun fact: the code had a chance to mis-compile even by gcc-4.0.4:
