The following compiler warning is emitted for the BACKTRACE_X86STACK
part of lib/isc/backtrace.c:
backtrace.c: In function ‘getrbp’:
backtrace.c:139:1: warning: no return statement in function returning non-void [-Wreturn-type]
While getrbp() stores the value of the RBP register in the RAX register
and thus does attempt to return a value, this is not enough for an
optimizing compiler to always produce the expected result. With -O2,
the following machine code may be generated in isc_backtrace_gettrace():
0x00007ffff7b0ff7a <+10>: mov %rbp,%rax
0x00007ffff7b0ff7d <+13>: mov $0x17,%eax
0x00007ffff7b0ff82 <+18>: retq
The above is equivalent to:
sp = (void **)getrbp();
return (ISC_R_NOTFOUND);
and results in the backtrace never getting printed.
Fix by using an intermediate variable. With this change in place, the
machine code generated with -O2 becomes something like:
0x00007ffff7af5638 <+24>: mov $0x17,%eax
0x00007ffff7af563d <+29>: mov %rbp,%rdx
0x00007ffff7af5640 <+32>: test %rdx,%rdx
0x00007ffff7af5643 <+35>: je 0x7ffff7af56bd <isc_backtrace_gettrace+157>
...
0x00007ffff7af56bd <+157>: retq
(Note that this method of grabbing a stack trace is finicky anyway
because in order for RBP to be relied upon, -fno-omit-stack-frame must
be present among CFLAGS.)
(cherry picked from commit 923c443389)
Some operating systems (e.g. Linux, FreeBSD) provide the
_Unwind_Backtrace() function in libgcc_s.so, which is automatically
linked into any binary using the functions provided by that library. On
OpenBSD, though, _Unwind_Backtrace() is provided by libc++abi.so, which
is not automatically linked into binaries produced by the stock system C
compiler.
Meanwhile, lib/isc/backtrace.c assumes that any GNU-compatible toolchain
allows _Unwind_Backtrace() to be used without any extra provisions in
the build system. This causes build failures on OpenBSD (and possibly
other systems).
Instead of making assumptions, actually check for _Unwind_Backtrace()
support in the toolchain if the backtrace() function is unavailable.
