Re: [DynInst_API:] PIE segfault

[John Detter <jdetter@xxxxxxxx>]

Hey Mohamed,

We found the issue that was causing the assert and we updated the master branch on github. If you want to clone or pull the most recent version it should have the fix for your issue.

Let me know if you have any other issues,

Hi Josh,Â

I just tried again, on a vanilla VM and a fresh clone from https://github.com/dyninst/dyninst.git, and I am still getting the same exact message on stderr:

decodeOneOperand() called with unknown addressing method 18

And the resulting binary does not run: Exec format error.Â

I also tried: `parseThat --binary-edit=ssh.dyn -i 0 /us/bin/ssh`,Âand the resulting binary (ssh.dyn) also fails to load, giving the same Exec format error.

When I run `file ssh.dyn`, the output shows no interpreter.Â

What do you think?

Mohamed,

I did a fresh clone from github and I was able to instrument /usr/bin/ssh on Ubuntu 16.04 server addition, are you sure you are setting your LD_LIBRARY_PATH, C_INCLUDE_PATH and CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH to the right directories? You may be installing the newly built libraries into a directory that isn't being searched by GCC.

If you are installing globally and you are installing into `/usr/local` you may have to include these directories in your environment:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib"

export C_INCLUDE_PATH="/usr/local/include"

export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH="/usr/local/include"

If you are still having issues, could you send me a tarball of your dyninst directory (source included)? That way I know we're both looking at the same thing.

Yes, that's what I did. I did a fresh clone and install from github.com/dyninst/dyninst. But I am now getting a different error:Â

decodeOneOperand() called with unknown addressing method 18

And even though the output binary is created, it does not execute (exec format error). Â

Again, I am testing with /usr/bin/ssh on Ubuntu 16.04, without any instrumentation (open, get default module, get procedures, save).

Thanks,

Mohamed

git.dyninst.org is now just a mirror and unfortunately it looks like it isn't quite up to date. http://github.com/dyninst/dyninst will get you the latest commits.

If you want to update your origin:

ÂÂÂ ÂÂÂ git remote remove origin

ÂÂÂ ÂÂÂ git remote add origin http://github.com/dyninst/dyninst

ÂÂÂ ÂÂÂ git pull origin master

Hi John,Â

I pulled the latest commit from git.dyninst.org, which resulted in the error in my previous email.Â

Now using a clone from the github path your provided, I am getting the following message on stderr:Â

decodeOneOperand() called with unknown addressing method 18

And even though the output binary is created, it does not execute (exec format error). Â

Again, I am testing with /usr/bin/ssh on Ubuntu 16.04, without any instrumentation (open, get default module, get procedures, save).

Mohamed,

Are you sure you are using the latest master? In my version of
arch-x86.C line 7993 isn't inside the ia32_decode function. Could you
try pulling from master and rebuilding/rerunning? If you could provide
another stack trace that would be really helpful.
