Dear developpers, 



we are academic researchers working in automated program analysis. 
We are currently interested in checking compliance of inline asm chunks 
as found in C programs. 

While benchmarking our tool and technique, we found a number of issues in 
FFMPEG. We report them to you, as well as adequate patches. 
Actually, we found 59 significant compliance issues in your code. 
We join 3 patches for some of them, together with explanations and 
we can send you other patches on demand. 


* All these bugs are related to compliance between the block of asm and its 
surrounding "contract" (in gcc-style notation). They are akin to undefined or 
implementation-defined behaviours in C: they currently do not manifest 
themselves in your program, but at some point in time with compiler 
optimizations becoming more and more aggressive or changes in undocumented 
compiler choices regarding asm chunks, they can suddenly trigger a 
(hard-to-find) bug. 

* The typical problems come from the compiler missing dataflow information 
and performing undue optimizations on this wrong basis, or the compiler 
allocating an already used register. Actually, we demonstrate "in lab" problems 
with all these categories of bugs in case of inlining 
(especially with LTO enabler) or code refactoring. 

* Some of those issues may seems benign or irrealistic but it cost nothing 
to patch so, why not do it? 


We would be very interested to hear your opinion on these matters. 
Are you interested in such errors and patches? 
Also, besides the patches, we are currently working on a code analyzer 
prototype designed to check asm compliance and to propose patches when the 
chunk is not compliant. This is still work in progress and we are finalizing it. 
The errors and patches I reported to you came from my prototype. 
In case such a prototype would be made available, would you consider using it? 



Best regards 

Frédéric Recoules
1. Overview of found issues
---------------------------

1.1 missing "memory" clobber (x 8)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Memory keyword is missing breaking data dependencies.
Every operation initializing memory blocks pointed by the input pointers
can be discarded. Every read of those blocks may return the same value as before
the chunk was executed.

1.2 xmm registers are clobbered (x 2)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

xmm registers are not declared in clobbers
(wherease other chunks using XMM register have listed them in clobbers).

1.3 mmx registers are clobbered (x56)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

mmx registers are never listed in clobbers.

1.4 inter-chunk dependency with mmx register (x 23)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some mmx registers are initialized by a chunk and used by another.
Even if the chunk are volatile and contiguous in the sources, the compiler
is still able to insert some instructions between them.

1.5 static symbols are hard written in assembly (x 27)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some static const values are accessed by name in the chunk without
being stated in the interface. The risk here is that the compiler
deem the value as never used and get rid of it.
If so, the compilation will fail so, not a "big" issue but a bad practice.

2. Proposed patches (x 3 functions)
-------------------

Refactor assembly chunk contained in:
- libavcodec/x86/lossless_videoencdsp_init.c
- libavcodec/x86/rnd_template.c

Following GNU inline assembly guidelines, the patch:
- add missing MMX clobbers
- replace positional placeholder (%[0-9]) by symbolic names
- replace volatile keyword and "memory" clobber by corresponding i/o entries
- replace register clobbering (ex: FF_REG_a) by scratch registers
- refine some macros
- [Cosmetic] mnemonic alignment

[build] HAVE_MMX_CLOBBERS have been added to configure
        following the XMM scheme

So your current patch does not change compilation output (without
debug symbols) when compared with md5sum or similar?

We only accept patches made with git format-patch, no diff files.

We do not do such a comparison for C undefined behaviour changes so why
should we do such a comparison for this code?

this is full of unrelated reformating, making the patchset unreviewable

each class of fixes should be in its own patch probably too
but especially whitespace changes / reformating should be in a seperate patch
so the reviewer can see what is changed

Also its very important that the patch makes it clear not just what is changed
but WHY each individual change is done. 
You may be assuming this is sloppy written code and do a few quick fixes and
this is true for some parts. Bbut some of the inline asm code we had
is written as it is because writing it "nicer" didnt work with some
compilers. Especially anything that requires the compiler to be smart
and optimize code or find the one possible solution can be a problem.

I wanted to mention a few more things like nasm/yasm and when they might
be worth looking at but i think thats a few steps too much at once.
lets first see what fixes there actually are

Can you resubmit thispatchset in a more reviewable form ?

Thanks

Thank you for your answers. 

As you have pointed out, these patches are full of unrelated changes that are not important for safety. 
Most of them were never intended to be posted here, the diff we submitted was the one of an 
experimental branch and we apologize to have made such a mistake. 
We will resubmit the patch with only essential patches in a more appropriate format very soon 
(git format-patch). 

@Michael These errors come with the Clang compiler, aren't they? 
We are aware that support for inline assembly may differ from one compiler to another 
despite the "higly-compatibility" that is stated. The safety patches we are proposing 
do not rely on them. 

@Carl @Kieran So far, we passed the FATE tests. 
The output is slightly different because we have merged contiguous assembly statement 
such that the compiler can no longer insert instruction between them, but the differences 
are only instruction swaps A.B.C -> B.A.C.

this is full of unrelated reformating, making the patchset unreviewable 

each class of fixes should be in its own patch probably too 
but especially whitespace changes / reformating should be in a seperate patch 
so the reviewer can see what is changed 

Also its very important that the patch makes it clear not just what is changed 
but WHY each individual change is done. 
You may be assuming this is sloppy written code and do a few quick fixes and 
this is true for some parts. Bbut some of the inline asm code we had 
is written as it is because writing it "nicer" didnt work with some 
compilers. Especially anything that requires the compiler to be smart 
and optimize code or find the one possible solution can be a problem. 

I wanted to mention a few more things like nasm/yasm and when they might 
be worth looking at but i think thats a few steps too much at once. 
lets first see what fixes there actually are 

Can you resubmit thispatchset in a more reviewable form ? 

Thanks

yes, seems this was
clang version 4.0.0 (trunk 283753)

i can retest and find a mininal command line for configure which triggers this
in case you cannot reproduce it ?

Thank you, but it is a known (non) issue of Clang and is reproducible since at least 3.4.1. 
The fact is that GCC uses incomplete types in to say "block of unknown size" but Clang have chosen to not follow it on this. 

Also, I have resubmitted the patches and I hope they will be more readable and useful.

Hi Michael, 

We are looking forward to hear news about the patches ([PATCH /5] x86 inline assembly compliance). 
Did you have time to take a look? 

We are trying to keep track of the state of the assembly in projects in which we found issues. 

Please recall that they should be now small, very local, easy to review changes and that they pass the FATE tests. 
And please contact us if you need more information about them or about the other issues we are willing to patch in the future. 

Regards, 
Frédéric Recoules

Dear developers,


We sent you on April a list of several compliance issues in FFMPEG
inline assembly chunks, and we submitted a bunch of patches to fix them.
They pass the fate test and can be found at
https://patchwork.ffmpeg.org/project/ffmpeg/list/?series=996.
Since the changes only concern the interface, the patches are small
and localized.
Moreover, when we adapted the patches to the project, we found that some
inline assembly chunks have already been patched in the past with similar
changes. All in all, while the project actually works with unsafe interfaces,
the proposed changes would be more "future-proof".

Beside some form problems, the patches were well received at first glance
(by Michael Niedermayer), but for now, we do not clearly know where the
review process stands and if the patches are going to be integrated: we would
like to hear from you.

Still, if you have any remark or question about patches, please, feel free
to contact us.

Regards,
Frédéric Recoules

Objet: [FFmpeg-devel] [inline assembly compliance] Issues and patches

Dear developpers, 



we are academic researchers working in automated program analysis. 
We are currently interested in checking compliance of inline asm chunks 
as found in C programs. 

While benchmarking our tool and technique, we found a number of issues in 
FFMPEG. We report them to you, as well as adequate patches. 
Actually, we found 59 significant compliance issues in your code. 
We join 3 patches for some of them, together with explanations and 
we can send you other patches on demand. 


* All these bugs are related to compliance between the block of asm and its 
surrounding "contract" (in gcc-style notation). They are akin to undefined or 
implementation-defined behaviours in C: they currently do not manifest 
themselves in your program, but at some point in time with compiler 
optimizations becoming more and more aggressive or changes in undocumented 
compiler choices regarding asm chunks, they can suddenly trigger a 
(hard-to-find) bug. 

* The typical problems come from the compiler missing dataflow information 
and performing undue optimizations on this wrong basis, or the compiler 
allocating an already used register. Actually, we demonstrate "in lab" problems 
with all these categories of bugs in case of inlining 
(especially with LTO enabler) or code refactoring. 

* Some of those issues may seems benign or irrealistic but it cost nothing 
to patch so, why not do it? 


We would be very interested to hear your opinion on these matters. 
Are you interested in such errors and patches? 
Also, besides the patches, we are currently working on a code analyzer 
prototype designed to check asm compliance and to propose patches when the 
chunk is not compliant. This is still work in progress and we are finalizing it. 
The errors and patches I reported to you came from my prototype. 
In case such a prototype would be made available, would you consider using it? 



Best regards 

Frédéric Recoules
