[Qemu-devel] [Bug 645662] [NEW] Python 3.1.2 math errors with Qemu 0.12.5

[Arno Wagner]

Public bug reported:

When doing the regression tests for Python 3.1.2 with Qemu 0.12.5, (Linux version 2.6.26-2-686 (Debian 2.6.26-25lenny1)),
gcc (Debian 4.3.2-1.1) 4.3.2, Python compiled from sources within qemu,
3 math tests fail, apparently because the floating point unit is buggy. Qmeu was compiled from original sources
on Debian Lenny with kernel  2.6.34.6 from kernel.org, gcc  (Debian 4.3.2-1.1) 4.3.

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 645662] Re: Python 3.1.2 math errors with Qemu 0.12.5

[Arno Wagner]

Just found time to look a bit deeper into this. The problem is in the (real) asinh() function. 
I think it is possible that somewhere a calculation was done in float instead of double or a double value was shortened to float.
Please note that until this is fixed, qemu i386 is not IEEE754 conform.

Minimal test code in c:
---
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

int main(){ /* compile with gcc -lm test.c */
  double x, y;
  x = -2.1073424255447017e-08;
  y = asinh(x);
  printf("y =         %20.16e\n",y);
  printf("should be   -2.1073424255447017e-08\n");
}

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 645662] Re: Python 3.1.2 math errors with Qemu 0.12.5

[Arno Wagner]

And I unexpectedly had more time to dig.

Findings:

  - asinh() is not in IEEE754, please ignore my comment about
    non-conformity, sorry.
  - The calculation for asinh() is pretty badly conditioned, i.e.
    it blows up errors in the basic calculations.
  - asinh() is implemented in glibc in assembler on the FPU stack.   
    This would mean 80 bits float representation.

Error observations:

  Calculations for asinh( -2.1073424255447017e-08), derived from
  the Python 3.1.2 selftest. Formula is asinh(x) = log(x+sqrt(x*x+1))
  Reference is a calculation with long double (128 bit)

  - qemu:           6 correct digits behind the dot
  - C with double:  7 correct digits behind the dot
  - i387:          10 correct digits behind the dot

Possible root cause:

   The observed error may be due to qemu using 64 bit double math in
   the FPU implementation, instead of the 80 bit internal precision   
   a real i387 uses.

Comparison with kernel i387 emulation

   As an additional verification, I tried the calculations using the
   Linux kernel coprocessor emulation. This basically failed. With
   kernel 2_6_26 and 2_6_27 and the ''no387'' flag, the kernel locked
   up without output early during boot. With 2.6.34, I could not do
   an ssh login. I may try this again later, and especially try
   to find out what is wrong with qemu and 2.6.34.

Consequences:

  1) qemu is significantly less accurate for some mathematics than a
     genuine i387. This may cause problesm with sensitive mathematics
     developed on a real i387.
  2) qemu can be fingerprinted easily using this problem. This may
     have security implications.

Fix Options:

  1) - Moving the FPU internal representation to long double. It will
       still not be the same results as on an  i387, but it will be
       _more_ accurate instead of less, which generally is far less
       of a problem.

       Pro:  Higher accuracy
       Cons: Slower

     - Use code derived from the Linux kernel i387 FPU emulator.
       The emulator is not bit-exact, but relatively close and it
       is used at least on some small x86 architectures.

       Pro:  Higher accuracy
       Cons: Need to integrate foreign code

     - Leave it as it is but add a clear warning to the "Known qemu
       Problems" Section in the manual and Wiki (I did not find one, I
       think it should be added in an easily findable place), that
       i387 FPU emulation is only 64 bits internally and may be less
       exact for combined calculations done on the FPU stack, such
       as asinh() in glibc(), than a real i387.

       You may recommend to use kernel FPU emulation, but
       this may not work or be a pain to get working.

       Pro: Least work
       Cons: Not really a solution 

2) Fixing this is difficult and there are other ways to find
     out that you are running in qemu anyways. I think the security
     implications are insiginficant in most cases.

[Thomas Huth]

Can you still reproduce this problem with the latest version of QEMU? As
far as I know, the FPU emulation has been completely switched to
softfloat with the latest versions, so I assume your problem might be
fixed in recent releases...

[Arno Wagner]

Hi,

I just tried for about 2 hours without success or getting any useful 
diagnostic to compile and run current qemu 2.8. No console,
no window opens, -curses does not work in .configure, despite
ncurses-dev being installed, etc. 

Quite frankly, as I have not used qemu for several years now, 
I cannot be bothered to fight through an apparently mostly
broken build and install process. I did include two diagnostic
options in my bug-report, please try them out yourself.

Regards,
Arno

Looks like your test code from comment #1 still prints out a wrong
value, so the bug has apparently not been fixed by the FPU updates...

Re: [Qemu-devel] [Bug 645662] Re: Python 3.1.2 math errors with Qemu 0.12.5

[Arno Wagner]

I had a brief look at softfloat. In principle, it should fix the 
issue, but only if the FPU uses 80-bit double-extended-precision
internally. I guess the qemu FPU is still stuck at 64 bit double
internally and that does not cut it for some calculations.

Just to be sure, I re-tested the code from comment 1 and it does
work as expected with a real FPU.

Regards,
Arno

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 645662] Re: Python 3.1.2 math errors with Qemu 0.12.5

[Peter Maydell]

softfloat deals with doing the basic IEEE ops (add, subtract, multiply,
etc) at the correct 80 bit precision, but it doesn't provide
implementations of the x87's more complex operations (sin, cos, log,
etc), so QEMU is still doing those by converting from 80 bit to host
double and using the host C math library routines. Fixing this would
require writing hand-coded routines for all these operations, which is
quite a tricky bit of work. (Sadly we can't just use the bochs
implementations, because they're under the softfloat2b license which
isn't GPL2 compatible.)

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 645662] Re: QEMU x87 emulation of trig and other complex ops is only at 64-bit precision, not 80-bit

[Thomas Huth]

Laurent Vivier recently started to adapt some of function from the
"Previous" NeXT emulator for m68k, see e.g. this patch series here:

 https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-11/msg04454.html

Not sure, but I think that could help to fix at least some of the
missing functions.

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 645662] Re: QEMU x87 emulation of trig and other complex ops is only at 64-bit precision, not 80-bit

[Arno Wagner]

That explains it. For most operations that approach works well as
basically nobody uses the 80 bit formats directly anyways. Unfortunately
asinh() is very badly conditioned in the region tested and it is not
enough.

A possible approach to fix this would be to use long double (128 bit)
were available instead of just double and to document this limitation
for double.

The test code from comment #1 now prints out the correct value with QEMU
v4.1, so I think this has been fixed with the softfloat work that has
been done within the last year.

[Arno Wagner]

To be sure, you can also run my original C test code from
2010. If that produces a bit-identtical result, then this
has indeed been fixed. If there are deviations in the last
digits, then the fingerprinting issues is still there, but
at least Python has stopped complaining.

Arno

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 645662] Re: QEMU x87 emulation of trig and other complex ops is only at 64-bit precision, not 80-bit

[Peter Maydell]

Looking at our code we're still implementing the x87 insns FSIN, FCOS,
FSINCOS, FPTAN, FPATAN, F2XM1, FYL2X, FYL2XP1 by "convert the floatx80
to a host double and use the host C library functions", so I think this
bug is still unfixed. If the C program in comment 1 and/or the Python
code has stopped reporting failures it's probably just because the guest
C library routines have stopped using the x87 80-bit FPU instructions
internally.

Fine by me. I suggest to keep tracking this though, if necessary
in another bug item.

[Bug 645662] Re: QEMU x87 emulation of trig and other complex ops is only at 64-bit precision, not 80-bit

[Peter Maydell]

For 5.1 (commits 1f18a1e6ab8368a4, 5eebc49d2d0aa5fc7e,
5ef396e2ba865f34a, eca30647fc078f4) we reimplemented FPATAN, FYL2X,
FYL2XP1, FPREM, FPREM1, F2XM1 to do proper 80-bit precision operations.
However the trig operations FPTAN, FSINCOS, FSIN, FCOS are still
implemented as naive "convert to host double and use host C library
functions".

[Arno Wagner]

Talk about a "blast form the past!" This Bug is now over 10 years old. 
But at least somebody is still working on it and it was not
just quietly dropped. I can respect that. 

My original recommendation stands: At least use long double for the
calcuations where available.

Arno

[Richard Henderson]

In the meantime, target/m68k has implemented these trig
functions for its (only slightly different) 96-bit
extended-float format.

With a minor amount of work this code could be shared.

Title:
  QEMU x87 emulation of trig and other complex ops is only at 64-bit
  precision, not 80-bit

Status in QEMU:
  Expired

Bug description:
  When doing the regression tests for Python 3.1.2 with Qemu 0.12.5, (Linux version 2.6.26-2-686 (Debian 2.6.26-25lenny1)),
  gcc (Debian 4.3.2-1.1) 4.3.2, Python compiled from sources within qemu,
  3 math tests fail, apparently because the floating point unit is buggy. Qmeu was compiled from original sources
  on Debian Lenny with kernel  2.6.34.6 from kernel.org, gcc  (Debian 4.3.2-1.1) 4.3. 

  Regression testing errors:
