[ruby-core:116802] [Ruby master Misc#20272] Ambiguity around Ractor message sending FIFO semantics

by forthoney (Seong-Heon Jung)

Issue #20272 has been reported by forthoney (Seong-Heon Jung). ---------------------------------------- Misc #20272: Ambiguity around Ractor message sending FIFO semantics https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20272 * Author: forthoney (Seong-Heon Jung) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- The docs should explicitly state the semantics/properties of Ractor message, especially when it comes to FIFO. For example, assume I have two Ractors, Ractor A and Ractor B. Ractor A sends two messages `"hello"` and `"world"` in this order to Ractor B. If I call `Ractor.receive` on Ractor B, am I guaranteed to see `"hello"` and then `"world"` or is it possible the messages are delivered out of order? -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:116039] [Ruby master Bug#20154] aarch64: configure overrides `-mbranch-protection` if it was set in CFLAGS via environment

by jprokop (Jarek Prokop)

Issue #20154 has been reported by jprokop (Jarek Prokop). ---------------------------------------- Bug #20154: aarch64: configure overrides `-mbranch-protection` if it was set in CFLAGS via environment https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20154 * Author: jprokop (Jarek Prokop) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Recently a GH PR was merged <https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/9306> For PAC/BTI support on ARM CPUs for Coroutine.S. Without proper compilation support in configure.ac it segfaults Ruby with fibers on CPUs where PAC is supported: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20085 At the time of writing, configure.ac appends the first option from a list for flag `-mbranch-protection` that successfully compiles a program <https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/master/configure.ac#L829>, to XCFLAGS and now also ASFLAGS to fix issue 20085 for Ruby master. This is suboptimal for Fedora as we set -mbranch-protection=standard by default in C{,XX}FLAGS: ``` CFLAGS='-O2 -flto=auto -ffat-lto-objects -fexceptions -g -grecord-gcc-switches -pipe -Wall -Werror=format-security -Werror=implicit-function-declaration -Werror=implicit-int -Wp,-U_FORTIFY_SOURCE,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 -Wp,-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1 -fstack-protector-strong -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-annobin-cc1 -mbranch-protection=standard -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -fstack-clash-protection -fno-omit-frame-pointer -mno-omit-leaf-frame-pointer ' export CFLAGS CXXFLAGS='-O2 -flto=auto -ffat-lto-objects -fexceptions -g -grecord-gcc-switches -pipe -Wall -Werror=format-security -Wp,-U_FORTIFY_SOURCE,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 -Wp,-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1 -fstack-protector-strong -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-annobin-cc1 -mbranch-protection=standard -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -fstack-clash-protection -fno-omit-frame-pointer -mno-omit-leaf-frame-pointer' export CXXFLAGS ``` And the appended flag overrides distribution's compilation configuration, which in this case ends up omitting BTI instructions and only using PAC. Would it make sense to check if such flags exist and not overwrite them if they do? Serious proposals: 1. Simplest fix that does not overwrite what is set in the distribution and results in higher security is simply prepending the list of options with `-mbranch-protection=standard`, it should cause no problems on ARMv8 CPUs and forward, BTI similarly to PAC instructions result into NOP, it is only extending the capability. See attached 0001-aarch64-Check-mbranch-protection-standard-first-to-u.patch 2. Other fix that sounds more sane IMO and dodges this kind of guessing where are all the correct places for the flag is what another Fedora contributor Florian Weimer suggested: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org… "The reliable way to do this would be to compile a C file and check whether that enables __ARM_FEATURE_PAC_DEFAULT, and if that's the case, define a *different* macro for use in the assembler implementation. This way, you don't need to care about the exact name of the option." IOW instead of using __ARM_FEATURE_* directly in that code, define a macro in the style of "USE_PAC" with value of the feature if it is defined, I think that way we shouldn't need to append ASFLAGS anymore. However it's also important to catch the value of those macros as their values have meaning, I have an idea how to do that but I'd get on that monday earliest. ---Files-------------------------------- 0001-aarch64-Check-mbranch-protection-standard-first-to-u.patch (1004 Bytes) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:116456] [Ruby master Feature#20215] Introduce `IO#readable?`

by ioquatix (Samuel Williams)

Issue #20215 has been reported by ioquatix (Samuel Williams). ---------------------------------------- Feature #20215: Introduce `IO#readable?` https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20215 * Author: ioquatix (Samuel Williams) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- There are some cases where, as an optimisation, it's useful to know whether more data is potentially available. We already have `IO#eof?` but the problem with using `IO#eof?` is that it can block indefinitely for sockets. Therefore, code which uses `IO#eof?` to determine if there is potentially more data, may hang. ```ruby def make_request(path = "/") client = connect_remote_host # HTTP/1.0 request: client.write("GET #{path} HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n") # Read response client.gets("\r\n") # => "HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n" # Assuming connection close, there are two things the server can do: # 1. peer.close # 2. peer.write(...); peer.close if client.eof? # <--- Can hang here! puts "Connection closed" # Avoid yielding as we know there definitely won't be any data. else puts "Connection open, data may be available..." # There might be data available, so yield. yield(client) end ensure client&.close end make_request do |client| puts client.read # <--- Prefer to wait here. end ``` The proposed `IO#readable?` is similar to `IO#eof?` but rather than blocking, would simply return false. The expectation is the user will subsequently call `read` which may then wait. The proposed implementation would look something like this: ```ruby class IO def readable? !!self.closed? end end class BasicSocket # Is it likely that the socket is still connected? # May return false positive, but won't return false negative. def readable? return false unless super # If we can wait for the socket to become readable, we know that the socket may still be open. result = self.recv_nonblock(1, MSG_PEEK, exception: false) # No data was available - newer Ruby can return nil instead of empty string: return false if result.nil? # Either there was some data available, or we can wait to see if there is data avaialble. return !result.empty? || result == :wait_readable rescue Errno::ECONNRESET # This might be thrown by recv_nonblock. return false end end ``` For `IO` itself, when there is buffered data, `readable?` would also return true immediately, similar to `eof?`. This is not shown in the above implementation as I'm not sure if there is any Ruby method which exposes "there is buffered data". -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:115911] [Ruby master Bug#20089] Fiber#kill transfers to root fiber

by rmosolgo (Robert Mosolgo)

Issue #20089 has been reported by rmosolgo (Robert Mosolgo). ---------------------------------------- Bug #20089: Fiber#kill transfers to root fiber https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20089 * Author: rmosolgo (Robert Mosolgo) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: ruby 3.3.0 (2023-12-25 revision 5124f9ac75) [x86_64-darwin22] * Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- I was hoping to use `Fiber#kill` to clean up formerly `.transfer`-d Fibers and work around https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20081, but I found that `Fiber#kill` has a similar control flow jump behavior. Is this on purpose, or a bug? Here's a script to test the behavior: ```ruby manager = Fiber.new do worker = Fiber.new do puts "2. Begin Worker" manager.transfer puts "This should never print -- killed" end puts "1. Transfer to Worker" worker.transfer puts "3. Killing Worker" worker.kill puts "4. Finished manager" end manager.transfer puts "5. Finished script" ``` I expected items `1` through `5` to be printed in order, but in fact, `4` is never printed: ``` $ ruby fiber_transfer_test.rb 1. Transfer to Worker 2. Begin Worker 3. Killing Worker 5. Finished script ``` It seems like `worker.kill` is transferring control to the top-level fiber instead of giving it back to `manager`. I also tried having the thread kill _itself_, hoping it would return to the fiber that originally `.transfer`ed to it, but it also seems to jump out: ```ruby manager = Fiber.new do worker = Fiber.new do puts "2. Begin Worker" manager.transfer Fiber.current.kill puts "This should never print -- killed" end puts "1. Transfer to Worker" worker.transfer puts "3. Killing Worker" worker.transfer puts "4. Finished manager" end manager.transfer puts "5. Finished script" ``` Prints: ``` 1. Transfer to Worker 2. Begin Worker 3. Killing Worker 5. Finished script ``` -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:116940] [Ruby master Feature#20300] Hash: set value and get pre-existing value in one call

by AMomchilov (Alexander Momchilov)

Issue #20300 has been reported by AMomchilov (Alexander Momchilov). ---------------------------------------- Feature #20300: Hash: set value and get pre-existing value in one call https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20300 * Author: AMomchilov (Alexander Momchilov) * Status: Open ---------------------------------------- When using a Hash, sometimes you want to set a new value, *and* see what was already there. Today, you **have** to do this in two steps: ```ruby h = { k: "old value" } # 1. Do a look-up for `:k`. old_value = h[:k] # 2. Do another look-up for `:k`, even though we just did that! h[:k] = "new value" use(old_value) ``` This requires two separate `Hash` look-ups for `:k`. This is fine for symbols, but is expensive if computing `#hash` or `#eql?` is expensive for the key. It's impossible to work around this today from pure Ruby code. I propose adding `Hash#update_value`, which has semantics are similar to this Ruby snippet: ```ruby class Hash def update_value(key, new_value) old_value = self[key] self[key] = new_value old_value end end ``` ... except it'll be implemented in C, with modifications to `tbl_update` that achieves this with a hash-lookup. Here's a PR with a PoC implementation: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/10092 -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/

[ruby-core:111448] [Ruby master Bug#19266] URI::Generic should use URI::RFC3986_PARSER instead of URI::DEFAULT_PARSER

by gareth (Gareth Adams)

Issue #19266 has been reported by gareth (Gareth Adams). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19266: URI::Generic should use URI::RFC3986_PARSER instead of URI::DEFAULT_PARSER https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19266 * Author: gareth (Gareth Adams) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: ruby 3.1.3p185 (2022-11-24 revision 1a6b16756e) [arm64-darwin21] * Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- In June 2014, [`uri/common` was updated][1] to introduce a RFC3986-compliant parser (`URI::RFC3986_PARSER`) as an alternative to the previous RFC2396 parser, and common methods like `URI()` were updated to use that new parser by default. The only methods in `common` not updated were [`URI.extract` and `URI.regexp`][2] which are marked as obsolete. (The old parser was kept in the `DEFAULT_PARSER` constant despite it not being the default for those methods, presumably for backward compatibility.) However, similar [methods called on `URI::Generic`][3] were never updated to use this new parser. This means that methods like `URI::Generic.build` fail when given input that succeeds normally, and this also affects subclasses like URI::HTTP: ``` $ pry -r uri -r uri/common -r uri/generic [1] pry(main)> URI::Generic.build(host: "underscore_host.example") URI::InvalidComponentError: bad component(expected host component): underscore_host.example from /Users/gareth/.asdf/installs/ruby/3.1.3/lib/ruby/3.1.0/uri/generic.rb:591:in `check_host' [2] pry(main)> URI::HTTP.build(host: "underscore_host.example") URI::InvalidComponentError: bad component(expected host component): underscore_host.example from /Users/gareth/.asdf/installs/ruby/3.1.3/lib/ruby/3.1.0/uri/generic.rb:591:in `check_host' [3] pry(main)> URI("http://underscore_host.example") => #<URI::HTTP http://underscore_host.example> ``` `URI::Generic.new` allows a configurable `parser` positional argument to override the class' default parser, but other factory methods like `.build` don't allow this override. Arguably this doesn't cause problems because at least in the case above, the URI can be built with the polymorphic constructor, but having the option to build URIs from explicit named parts is useful, and leaving the outdated functionality in the `Generic` class is ambiguous. It's possible that the whole Generic class and its subclasses aren't intended to be used directly how I'm intending here, but there's nothing I could see that suggested this is the case. I'm not aware of the entire list of differences between RFC2396 and RFC3986. The relevant difference here is that in RFC2396 an individual segment of a host ([`domainlabel`s][4]) could only be `alphanum | alphanum *( alphanum | "-" ) alphanum`, whereas RFC3986 allows [hostnames][5] to include any of `ALPHA / DIGIT / "-" / "." / "_" / "~"`. It's possible that other differences might cause issues for developers, but since this has gone over 8 years without anyone else caring about this, this is definitely not especially urgent.

[ruby-core:115649] [Ruby master Bug#20050] Segfault on Ruby 3.2.2 on x86_64 Darwin 20 (maybe in Array#hash)

by martinemde (Martin Emde)

Issue #20050 has been reported by martinemde (Martin Emde). ---------------------------------------- Bug #20050: Segfault on Ruby 3.2.2 on x86_64 Darwin 20 (maybe in Array#hash) https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20050 * Author: martinemde (Martin Emde) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: ruby 3.2.2 (2023-03-30 revision e51014f9c0) [x86_64-darwin20] * Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Hi, In the rubygems & bundler repositories we've now had two segfaults in the same exact code within days of merging a change to that code, both on ruby 3.2.2 on darwin20. 1. https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/actions/runs/7110489973/job/1935706778… 2. https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/actions/runs/7131889001/job/1942130416… The specific error seems to happen when calculating the hash of the array in Gem::NameTuple#hash. The array contents that is being `.hash`ed both times should be exactly: `["has_metadata", "1.0", "ruby"]`. If I'm reading this correctly, this indicates that the crash is related either to creating this hash or storing this hash in the hash table (I'm not quite sure which is triggering the crash). An excerpt of the C backtrace shows the same backtrace for both crashes: ``` -- C level backtrace information ------------------------------------------- /Users/runner/hostedtoolcache/Ruby/3.2.2/x64/lib/libruby.3.2.dylib(rb_vm_bugreport+0x7c4) [0x10cb0f994] /Users/runner/hostedtoolcache/Ruby/3.2.2/x64/lib/libruby.3.2.dylib(rb_bug_for_fatal_signal+0x1d0) [0x10c9158c0] /Users/runner/hostedtoolcache/Ruby/3.2.2/x64/lib/libruby.3.2.dylib(sigsegv+0x5b) [0x10ca609ab] /usr/lib/system/libsystem_platform.dylib(_sigtramp+0x1d) [0x7ff810c14dfd] /Users/runner/hostedtoolcache/Ruby/3.2.2/x64/lib/libruby.3.2.dylib(rb_id_table_lookup+0x16) [0x10caa2a56] /Users/runner/hostedtoolcache/Ruby/3.2.2/x64/lib/libruby.3.2.dylib(callable_method_entry_or_negative+0x5e) [0x10cae9c8e] /Users/runner/hostedtoolcache/Ruby/3.2.2/x64/lib/libruby.3.2.dylib(rb_check_funcall_basic_kw+0x129) [0x10caf0039] /Users/runner/hostedtoolcache/Ruby/3.2.2/x64/lib/libruby.3.2.dylib(obj_any_hash+0x3c) [0x10c94bd2c] /Users/runner/hostedtoolcache/Ruby/3.2.2/x64/lib/libruby.3.2.dylib(any_hash+0x52) [0x10c94bc12] /Users/runner/hostedtoolcache/Ruby/3.2.2/x64/lib/libruby.3.2.dylib(rb_st_add_direct+0x1d) [0x10ca69b7d] /Users/runner/hostedtoolcache/Ruby/3.2.2/x64/lib/libruby.3.2.dylib(ar_try_convert_table+0x85) [0x10c94d015] /Users/runner/hostedtoolcache/Ruby/3.2.2/x64/lib/libruby.3.2.dylib(rb_hash_aset+0x18f) [0x10c94e26f] ``` I'm not sure how to follow this instruction in this case on GitHub actions: "Don't forget to include the Crash Report log file under DiagnosticReports directory in bug reports." I have not been able to reproduce this locally with the same version of ruby (but I'm on darwin22 instead of 20). I will follow up if we continue to see this same crash. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
