Math-emu kills the kernel on Athlon64 X2

Math-emu kills the kernel on Athlon64 X2

[Jesper Juhl]

Hi,

If I enable the math emulator in 2.6.18-rc7-git2 (only version I've
tried this with) and then boot the kernel with "no387" then I only get
as far as lilo's "...Booting the kernel." message and then the system
hangs.

The kernel is a 32bit kernel build for K8 and my CPU is a Athlon64 X2 4400+

If I boot the same kernel without the "no387" option, then it boots
and runs just fine, so it seems the math emulator code is lethal on
newer CPU's :-(

Now, I need some help debugging this. The crash happens very early and
doesn't result in anything printed to the screen (I guess it's too
early to call printk()) - How on earth can I get a lead on what's
going wrong?  Any help would be appreciated.

I'm wondering if it tries to use the MMX/XMM stuff for memcpy and friends. 

I'm also wondering why you'd be doing what you seem to try to be doing in 
the first place ;)

Basically, "no387" doesn't seem to disable any of the fancier FPU 
features, even though it obviously should. If you ask for math emulation, 
you'll get emulation faults for _all_ of the modern MMX stuff too (which 
we don't do). 

It's entirely possible that nobody has ever tested this combination.

Simply to try and find bugs. If we have a math emulator and it's
selectable for my CPU type, then it should damn well work ;-)

Hmm, I guess that could be the problem. The emulator should disable
any stuff which it's not able to handle. I've not actually looked very
much at the emulator code yet, so I didn't realize it didn't disable
what it couldn't handle, but getting it to do that sounds like a
sensible first step.

That was my thought as well, which is exactely why I chose to try it -
thinking that it might expose some bugs in math-emu or elsewhere.

I would guess that we might notice, for example, that the CPU supports 
FXSR (fxsave/fxrestor) through looking at cpuid, and then we have, for 
example:

    arch/i386/kernel/cpu/common.c: cpu_init() ->
	arch/i386/kernel/i387.c: mxcsr_feature_mask_init() ->


        if (cpu_has_fxsr) {
                memset(&current->thread.i387.fxsave, 0, sizeof(struct i387_fxsave_struct));
                asm volatile("fxsave %0" : : "m" (current->thread.i387.fxsave));
		...

ie we will do one of the fancy new instructions from kernel space (very 
early), because this path at no point even bothers to check whether it is 
supposed to even use hw FP at all.

You can try booting with "no387 nofxsr" to get rid of at least _that_ 
particular issue, but there might be other cases like that in the MMX 
code, for example ("nofxsr" should disable both the FXSR and XMM 
capabilities as far as the kernel is concerned).

If that works (or gets you further), we should just make "no387" disable 
FXSR by itself. 

Worth testing, and you can do it without even recompiling the kernel, 
since we already have that kernel command line flag.

I think, math emulation is for 486 and older. 486 DX2 was the first one
who have math co processor, on earlier processor it should be disable .

Yes, it's mainly there for CPU's that don't have a math co-processor,
but it's also there for the cases where the math co-processor is
broken or where for some other reason you may not want to use it - so
it really should work...  Sure, it may be slow as hell compared to
hardware, but if it's there and I can select it then it should at
least be functional.

Booting with: vga=normal no387 nofxsr
gets me no forther.   These are all the messages I get:

 boot: 2.6.18rc7git2 vga=normal no387 nofxsr
 Loading 2.6.18rc7git2...................................
 BIOS data check successful
 Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel.

And then the system hangs and requires a power cycle.

So unfortunately that does't help much :-(

Ok. The next phase is to try to figure out where it hangs, and since it 
happens very early, that's most often most easily done the hard way: add 
some code that reboots the machine, and if the machine hangs, you didn't 
reach it.

These days there's a slightly easier approach: if you enable PM_TRACE 
support (you need to enable PM and PM_DEBUG and EXPERIMENTAL to get it), 
you can do

	#include <resume-trace.h>

at the top of a file, and add a sprinkling of "TRACE_RESUME(x)" calls 
(where "x" is some integer in the range 0-15 that you can use to save off 
the iteration count in a loop, for example - leave at 0 if you're not 
interested).

And then, when it hangs, once you reboot into the same kernel (without the 
"no387", so that it works ;), it should tell you where the last 
trace-point was fairly early in the bootup dmesg's.

(It _will_ screw up your time-of-day clock in the process, though, which 
is why tracing is so hard to enable on purpose ;)

Do you have a .config? I tried it and it booted until mounting root.

Yes, I do. I'll mail it tonight when I get home from work.

Actually, 486 DX had built-in FPU as well. It was missing from 486SX
(486SX + optional 487 FPU = 486DX).

For 386(DX|SX) there were 387(DX|SX) (386SX used 16-bit bus).

Many 32-bit motherboards had a socket for Weitek (3167 for 386DX or 4167
for 486). I think I remember a board with 386DX and 287 socket as well.

486DX2 meant the external clock was half the internal.

The config is attached.

I've also attached the complete dmesg output from a working boot of this kernel.

Below is the output of  scripts/ver_linux to give you an idea of the
build environment and some lspci and various other details so you can
also get a good idea about the hardware.
Hope that's enough, otherwise just ask for whatever you may need.

Done. The result is exactely the same as before. The kernel boots and
runs just fine except when I add "no387" to the boot options, then it
hangs.

I just tried building the kernel for 486 as well - no luck with
"no387" with that one either.

Fine :),  My (12 year old) 486DX2 already don't need Math-emu. I just
don't see how in a computer like that will be installed a kernel 2.6 .
So why code of math-emu isn't dropped ? 

Btw I try install a kernel 2.4 in my DX2 and works but very very slow .
I think in this type of computer should be install a kernel 2.2 .

Still can't reproduce it unfortunately. I ran it on a fairly accurate

on the compiler version though. I was using gcc 4.1.

I think it's a RAM problem. Most 386DX and early 486 boards allowed
32 MB (using 4 MB modules),  Linux 2.6 should run fine on such
a beast (386SX was limited to 16 MB address space). Later 486 boards
using DIMMs, I think, supported 64 MB (with caching).

Of course a "6 bogomips" 386 CPU isn't a speed daemon but in early
1990s it wasn't any faster and people were using them commonly (and,
I think, comfortably). IMHO for basic "SOHO Internet server" (mail
and such) it could be fast enough running Linux 2.6.

I had no trouble reproducing the boot failure (on Pentium-M), then
I tried TRACE_RESUME().  Nifty, but not really needed here since
earlyprintk worked and contained the fault messages:

[   16.776035] Kernel command line: auto BOOT_IMAGE=lin2618-jj ro root=808 resume=/dev/sda6 splash=silent showopts netconsole=6665@192.168.0.104/eth0,6666@192.168.0.101/00:13:20:e3:97:02 console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty0 earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200 initcall_debug debug no387 nofxsr

But CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION=y, so what now?

The panic message is for this:

  else if ( FPU_CS == __KERNEL_CS )
    {
      printk("math_emulate: %04x:%08lx\n",FPU_CS,FPU_EIP);
      panic("Math emulation needed in kernel");
    }

but that doesn't look like a real problem.

Linus mentioned CPU feature bits.  The message log above didn't
make me feel good about them.  Sure enough, we are playing with
features before reading the feature bits.

So, I have a patch that now boots with "no387 nofxsr".
It mixes some sauce into the spaghetti code during init.
The system is somewhat usable.  Network device (tg3) works,
but USB complains about everything and the X driver won't load,
so I don't think that the patch is finished.  :)

and I strongly wish that bugs.h didn't contain ("hide") so
much code.

From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net>

Math (floating point) emulation has been broken for awhile.
The primary reason for this is that CPU feature bits have
not been read/set yet when they are tested/used, due to
ordering changes in init/main.c.

Changes here:
This is a twisted maze of dependencies.
check_bugs() in init/main.c calls identify_cpu() (the
real CPU ident workhorse) much too late.  Now call
identify_cpu(for the boot cpu) from trap_init().
Still call identify_cpu(for other cpus) from smp_store_cpu_info(),
but add a call here to (new) finish_cpu_setup(&cpu_data)
for setup code that can be done later rather than earlier.
Note:  identify_cpu() wants to know loops_per_jiffy,
so if it is 0, call calibrate_delay() to get it.

The "Math emulation needed in kernel" message means that it was asked to 
emulate a kernel instruction, and it refuses to do so. The emulation is 
_not_ meant to be a real FPU, it simply looks like one to user space. A 
lot of things aren't really emulated (there's no global x87 context, for 
example: the context is all strictly per-process).

Please look up address c01062dd in the system map (or just using gdb), 
that will tell you what code _tried_ to use the math coprocessor in kernel 
space.

Sure, it's in arch/i386/kernel/i387.c::mxcsr_feature_mask_init(),
on the fxsave instruction:

void mxcsr_feature_mask_init(void)
{
	unsigned long mask = 0;
	clts();
	if (cpu_has_fxsr) {
		memset(&current->thread.i387.fxsave, 0, sizeof(struct i387_fxsave_struct));
		asm volatile("fxsave %0" : : "m" (current->thread.i387.fxsave)); 
		mask = current->thread.i387.fxsave.mxcsr_mask;
		if (mask == 0) mask = 0x0000ffbf;
	}

Why not just check the flags we set early on to indicate we have a real

That check would be wrong anyway. A kernel built with FPU emulation
boots, runs and uses the hardware FPU code correctly. The problem area
is the X86_FEATURE_foo stuff. I think that comes down to a single thing
- if we have FPU disabled clear X86_FEATURE_FXSR|X86_FEATURE_MMX|
X86_FEATURE_SSE* in the boot cpu features during early option
parsing/setup. Basically the emulated FPU is forgetting to tell the
truth about the fact its a very basic FPU.

No it's not.

kernel_fpu_begin() has the _one_ test that matters:

	if (thread->status & TS_USEDFPU) {

since if software emulation is on, nobody will ever have the TS_USEDFPU 
flag set.

> Fixing it properly would be much more work.

No. It's all fixed properly already.

The bug is simply on the newer FXSR paths - marking the FPU emulation 
broken is just stupid.

No, it doesn't need "an ifdef" at all.

There is no #define to even _test_. The fact that FPU math emulation is 
compiled in in _no_ way means that it should statically be used. It just 
means that if the user asks the math coprocessor to not be used, or if no 
such coprocessor exists, we shouldn't do an "fxsave".

The real fix is to clear "fxsr" when the user said "no387". If you don't 
have a math coprocessor, you sure as heck don't have fxsr either.

However, that's apparently not enough, since "nofxsr" was reported to not 
fix it entirely. However, that might well be true due to just handling 
that flag too late, or something.

And THAT is the real bug. Don't try to make it anything else. The bug is 
simply that we use the math coprocessor when we've been told it doesn't 
exist.

I think this is fine, but I also think it's a bit hacky.

Wouldn't it make more sense to make the whole "nofxsr" thing just clear 
the capability, ie just a diff like the appended...

Does that work for you? If so, we should _also_ make sure that "no387" 
calls this function too, so that you don't have to do _both_ no387 and 
nofxsr, which is clearly silly. Once you do no387, the kernel should do 
the nofxsr for you, methinks..

Yes, that works.

Ok. I'll commit that simple thing, and add a comment on why we're 
apparently doing the same thing twice (you do need _both_ of those things: 
the "disable_x86_fxsr" will make sure all other CPU's also get cleared, 
while the "clear_bit()" will clear it immediately on the boot CPU)

I'll leave the no387/nofxsr linking alone for now. The main reason to use 
no387 would seem to be just testing that emulation works at all, and I 
guess we can just tell people to use the "no387 nofxsr" combination.

So Randy, with this you can boot all the way into user space, and some FP 
apps still work too?

(Of course, user-space may be buggy and use SSE etc without testing for 
whether the CPU actually supports it - if the install process has 
installed some special SSE-version of a library depending on what the CPU 
claimed at that point, or if somebody uses "cpuid" directly rather than 
asking the kernel. So there's no way we're going to _guarantee_ that this 
works in user space, but at least a well-behaved user-space that works on 
a i486 should hopefully be ok).

My few trivial float and double apps work.
Is there any particular test/workload that you want me to run?

Not really, if "most things just seem to work", that's already pretty much 
all we should ask for from the math emulation.

I just tested 2.6.18-git21 and here's a small status report :

The good news is: The kernel boots.
The bad news is: Userspace breaks left and right.

I'm booting with "no387 nofxsr"

On my first boot I just used the options above and the result was that
most of the bootup sequence looked quite normal until I got to the
point of starting sshd, then things started to go wrong. This is what
I got :

...
/etc/rc.d/rc.sshd: line 4: 1491 Illegal instruction    /usr/sbin/sshd
...
/usr/sbin/apachectl: line 81:    1588 Illegal instruction    $HTTPD
/usr/sbin/apachectl: start: httpd could not be started
Starting up X11 Session manager...
   At this point X starts and gets as far as showing me the default X
cursor on a black background very briefly, then I'm back in text mode
and the box is hung - CTRL+ALT+DEL did work, but that was about it.

Then I tried a boot to single user mode ("no387 nofxsr single").
That worked a little better, although sshd and abache were still
broken (didn't really expect otherwise). I managed to get a login
prompt, logged in and successfully switched to runlevel 3 (which on my
distro (Slackware 11) is multi-user without X). Then I tried to
"startx" by hand to see if that would get me any further details, and
it did. I got this :

...

This time the system didn't hang, it was still somewhat usable (except

So that's great progress, but it could certainly work a lot better.

Ok, I bet you have your sshd compiled to use MMX instructions 
unconditionally.

> So that's great progress, but it could certainly work a lot better.

I don't think there is a whole lot we can do about it. There's really two 
choices:

 - make sure all user-space is able to function without MMX. This means, 
   for example, that you must certainly never compile with some code that 
   switches between MMX and non-MMX statically.

   The most common cases you'd expect to use MMX is for encryption, but 
   graphics and 3D certainly sounds very possible too..

   This isn't really somethign _we_ can do a lot about, although 
   distributions that care may of course try to test that their distro 
   works with "no387 nofxsr". You didn't say what distro you used, maybe 
   you can point it out to them.

 - we could try to extend the math emulator to emulate the new 
   instructions too.

   The thing is, it's probably not worth it. The only actual real usage 
   would be if somebody wants to take a disk image and switch to a really 
   old machine that lacked the MMX instruction, or for this particular 
   test-case.

so I suspect that in practice, the answer is "if the distro isn't compiled 
for a generic x86 target, screw it".

Probably, I haven't checked.

If the emulator can't handle it (which it cannot), that makes perfect sense :)

That would, in my oppinion, be the right way forward.

I fondly remember the days of old when I had an old 386 with no 387
and I was able to move my kernel between my machine and my friends
486SX/DX & Pentium boxes and with the math emulator in place
*everything* just worked perfectly - it may have been a little slow
with the emulator, but it always worked correctly, even though the
disk I moved around was setup to always use the emulator... I would
love to get that back.

I think I can think of a few more.

One is obviously, as you say, move a disk image (or live CD) to a
really old machine.
Another is just to test the math emulator (this test case).
Another is platforms that don't have a math co-processor or
MMX/SSE/3DNow etc at all, their life would be simplified if the
emulator "just worked".
Another example (a bit far fetched, I admit) would be a damaged CPU
where the FPU doesn't work.
Yet another case would be where someone wanted to use the emulator for
better precision than the hardware gives and the slowdown is
acceptable - I may be imagining this, but I seem to have this memory
telling me that for some things back in the days the emulator was
actually more precise than the hardware.

I guess I'll have to accept that or start hacking on the emulator
myself :)   Let's see...


There is one thing we can easily do though, to improve things.
I noticed when booting my Athlon 64 X2 4400+ with "no387 nofxsr" that
the "flags" line in /proc/cpuinfo still report stuff that's not
supported by the emulator :

...
flags           : fpu vme de tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca
cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt lm
3dnowext 3dnow pni lahf_lm cmp_legacy ts fid vid ttp
...

When the emulator is in effect, shouldn't we remove things like "mmx,
sse2, mmxext, fxsr_opt, 3dnowext, 3dnow, pni" from the /proc/cpuinfo
output?
That would prevent silly apps that check the flags line from
/proc/cpuinfo for CPU capabilities from detecting a capability that we
are not able to support.    Yes, I know that an app that relies on
/proc/cpuinfo for detection of this is silly/stupid, but the last
stupid programmer has not been born yet, and such apps may very well
exist in the wild. Not printing stuff we can't emulate will probably
make a few apps out there behave correctly with math-emu in effect,
and I don't see any downside...   I can try to prepare a patch if you
like...?

It might be using CPUID directly which can't be masked

Google for "386EX".  There are any number of embedded boards
based on an this FPU-less 386 which people like to run Linux on.

There's more to the world than personal computers; the fact that the
Linux kernel runs almost unmodified on most of the largest computers in
the world (http://www.top500.org/stats/27/os/) and some of the dinkiest
(http://www.research.ibm.com/WearableComputing/linuxwatch/linuxwatch.html)
is a source of considerable pride.
