Error by compiling MKK utility

Post by spoofy » Thu Apr 20, 2023 7:20 am

I tryed to compile MKK utility: https://github.com/endlesssoftware/mmk
and CC Crashed.

Code: Select all

$ @compile

$! lines below.  However, it is not absolutely necessary as the resulting
$! header files are distributed with the source kit.

Both the PGFIPLHI crash and the DECC$COMPILER crash have been diagnosed and resolved.

There are two bugs here.

1. C compiler touches a bad address. That's a C compiler issue. We're still working on it.

2. C compiler touches a really bad address and the system crashed trying to figure out the ACCVIO to report back to the C compiler. That is fixed in the final V9.2-1 kit.

I am a bit curious about the:
PGFIPLHI, Pagefault with IPL too high

I assume this is the classic error of accessing virtual memory not in physical memory at elevated IPL.

But how can this be triggered by a compiler?

30 years ago on VAX I remember writing code like:

pushl #0
pushab qkast
calls #2,G^SYS$CMKRNL ; call qkast in kernel mode

.entry qkast,^m<r2,r3,r4,r5>
...
UNLOCK SCHED,newipl=#IPL$_ASTDEL
...
; doing stuff and if accessed virtual memory was not in RAM then system crash
...
SETIPL #0 ; reset IPL
movl #SS$_NORMAL,r0 ; ok
ret ; return

and I saw a lot of system crashes before that code worked.

:-)

But the compiler is supposed to be all user mode right?

And even if it for some weird reason decided to CMKRNL then it should not raise IPL.

And "trying to figure out the ACCVIO to report back" confuses me even more, because you have a few integers like mode (00 or 04), the address accessed and the PC of the code doing it. But after the ACCVIO wouldn't that just be integer data and no need to actually try and access the addresses??

   Who cares?  Between the changes in the Git pull request, and the
change to get_rdt.c shown above, what's stopping your progress?

It's all in the forum's entry where this was reported. The current image is DECC$COMPILER.EXE, the bugcheck happened in EXCEPTION. You should be able to see the IPL as well.

For the ACCVIO, the system has to determine if the address exists but you aren't allowed to see it or if the virtual address doesn't even exist. The system tripped over itself due to different sized page table entries (we take advantage of different sized page table entries in x86 for efficiency)

The fact that it was the C compiler running is just an accident.

I have a working mmk v5.1 on x86 if anyone is interested in testing a copy. Using it on a complex build project without any issues so far.

   Did you make any changes other than the ones already discussed here?

> [...] Using it on a complex build project without any issues so far.

   If you're looking for problems, many of the freeware ports on
antinode.info use MMS /EXTENDED_SYNTAX for their automatic dependency
generation.  II haven't tried it lately, but I've never seen MMK work
for them.

Could you put it up for general download via link?
