Subject: audacious: "Illegal instruction" at start on i386 systems

Date: Thu, 03 Jul 2008 00:52:16 +0200

Package: audacious
Version: 1.5.1-1
Severity: important

Hi!

As soon as I upgraded from audacious/1.5.0-2 to audacious/1.5.1-1
on a lenny i386 (AthlonXP) box, I began experiencing segfaults on
start.
This also happened on another i386 (dual AthlonMP) box.

Since I solved this on amd64 by upgrading audacious-plugins{-extra} to
the unstable versions (as I commented on bug #489025), I thought
I could do the same here.  Unfortunately, after upgrading plugin
packages, I began experiencing the following:

  $ audacious 
  Failed to load plugin (/usr/lib/audacious/Input/amidi-plug.so): /usr/lib/audacious/Input/amidi-plug.so: undefined symbol: audacious_drct_get_playing
  Illegal instruction

I don't know if this is the same issue that was mentioned in bug #486543
(message 47 states a SIGILL is experienced only on AthlonXP and
that rebuilding the package with --disable-sse2 seems to solve the
problem...); anyway, since bug #486543 mainly talks about segfaults,
I thought I should file a separate bug report for an "Illegal
instruction"...

Downgrading to audacious/1.5.0-2 (and to the corresponding plugin
packages) solves the issue.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

I've done a bit of backtracking:

* Offending instruction(s):
] jcn@hejre:~$ gdb /usr/bin/audacious core.11650 
] GNU gdb 6.8-debian
] (gdb) disass $eip $eip+32
] Dump of assembler code from 0x80a4122 to 0x80a4142:
] 0x080a4122 <gdk_window_show@plt+316186>:        movsd  -0x18(%ebp),%xmm0
] 0x080a4127 <gdk_window_show@plt+316191>:        cvttsd2si %xmm0,%eax
] [...]

(These are SSE2 instructions.)

* Problem:
The configure script tests for SSE2 by compiling a program similar to

] #include <emmintrin.h>
] void X()
] {
]   _mm_setzero_pd();
] }

and checking whether it runs without getting SIGILL. This is a bad SSE test,
however, because on non-SSE hosts the instructions are simply left out, i.e.
the above compiles on older CPUs (e.g. my Athlon Thunderbird) to

] 00000000 <X>:
]    0:   55                      push   %ebp
]    1:   89 e5                   mov    %esp,%ebp
]    3:   5d                      pop    %ebp
]    4:   c3                      ret    

whereas more recent systems yield

] 00000000 <X>:
]    0:   55                      push   %ebp
]    1:   89 e5                   mov    %esp,%ebp
]    3:   83 ec 18                sub    $0x18,%esp
]    6:   66 0f 57 c0             xorpd  %xmm0,%xmm0
]    a:   66 0f 29 45 e8          movapd %xmm0,-0x18(%ebp)
]    f:   c9                      leave  
]   10:   c3                      ret    

both without warning. Thus '-msse2' is enabled regardless of this test, and
the resulting binary fails on non-SSE2 hosts.


Regards,

Jan

Subject: audacious: Am affected on a Pentium III M box, but not a P4

Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2008 23:10:50 -0500

Package: audacious
Version: 1.5.1-1
Followup-For: Bug #489037


My Thinkpad T23 is affected by this bug as I get the following:

$ audacious
Failed to load plugin (/usr/lib/audacious/Input/amidi-plug.so): /usr/lib/audacious/Input/amidi-plug.so: un
defined symbol: audacious_drct_get_playing

Looking at /proc/cpuinfo I have the following:

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo

cpu family      : 6

Meanwhile, I have the exact same packages installed on my Thinkcentre
workstation and Audacious works flawlessly.  A look at its cpuinfo shows the
following:

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor       : 0
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 15
model           : 2

bogomips        : 5591.96
clflush size    : 64

Otherwise, these machines both run a very similar setup and were updated
as of this morning (July 18, 2008) and Audacious plays on the Thinkcentre
and fails on the Thinkpad.
