Hi!
Me and Ilya Arkhipov were investigating the cause of this bug:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=215572
In short, when FreeBSD ports options dialog is interrupted by Ctrl+C,
there's chance of sporadic terminal corruption. They are not always
reproducible and seem to be dependent on a machine, shell, terminal,
tmux used, but are not tied to any specific configuration.
The investigation led us to the following conclusion:
- the corruption is caused by dialog4ports program (which handles ports
options dialogs) not being able to restore terminal state on exit
- dialog4ports does indeed try to restore terminal state, but the
corresponding ioctl (TIOCSETAW) fails with EIO
- examining kern/tty.c suggests that this happens likely because the make
which is the session leader or something dies before dialog4ports
- which led us to bmake as a culprit
Here's the ktrace of the problem (the process hierarchy here is make ->
sh -> dialog4ports)
---
78337 dialog4ports CALL sigaction(SIGTSTP,0x800a80228,0)
78337 dialog4ports RET sigaction 0
78337 dialog4ports CALL clock_gettime(0xd,0x7fffffffde08)
78337 dialog4ports RET clock_gettime 0
78337 dialog4ports CALL gettimeofday(0x7fffffffdc90,0)
78337 dialog4ports RET gettimeofday 0
78337 dialog4ports CALL poll(0x7fffffffdca0,0x2,0xffffffff)
(make and sh receive SIGINT first)
78265 make RET wait4 RESTART
78335 sh RET wait4 -1 errno 4 Interrupted system call
78265 make PSIG SIGINT caught handler=0x402530 mask=0x0 code=SI_KERNEL
78335 sh PSIG SIGINT caught handler=0x41b950 mask=0x0 code=SI_KERNEL
78265 make CALL lstat(0x800ab9900,0x7fffffffd1f0)
78265 make NAMI "do-config"
78335 sh CALL sigreturn(0x7fffffffd280)
78335 sh RET sigreturn JUSTRETURN
78265 make RET lstat -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
78335 sh CALL wait4(0xffffffff,0x7fffffffd6ec,0,0)
78265 make CALL sigaction(SIGINT,0x7fffffffd250,0x7fffffffd230)
78265 make RET sigaction 0
78265 make CALL kill(0x131b9,SIGINT)
78265 make RET kill 0
78265 make CALL sigreturn(0x7fffffffd2d0)
78265 make RET sigreturn JUSTRETURN
(make kills itself)
78265 make PSIG SIGINT SIG_DFL code=SI_USER
(dialog4ports finally starts to process the signal)
78337 dialog4ports RET poll -1 errno 4 Interrupted system call
78337 dialog4ports PSIG SIGINT caught handler=0x800855e00 mask=0x0 code=SI_KERNEL
78337 dialog4ports CALL sigaction(SIGINT,0x7fffffffd7c0,0)
78337 dialog4ports RET sigaction 0
78337 dialog4ports CALL ioctl(0x1,TIOCGETA,0x7fffffffd770)
78337 dialog4ports RET ioctl 0
78337 dialog4ports CALL write(0x1,0x801676a00,0x17)
78337 dialog4ports GIO fd 1 wrote 23 bytes
78337 dialog4ports RET write 23/0x17
(this call should restore terminal state, but it fails)
78337 dialog4ports CALL ioctl(0x1,TIOCSETAW,0x80161604c)
78337 dialog4ports RET ioctl -1 errno 5 Input/output error
78337 dialog4ports CALL exit(0x1)

Here's the ktrace of the case which didn't cause terminal corruption:
---
79506 dialog4ports CALL poll(0x7fffffffdc00,0x2,0xffffffff)
79506 dialog4ports RET poll -1 errno 4 Interrupted system call
(dialog4ports is lucky enough to start processing the signal before make)
79506 dialog4ports PSIG SIGINT caught handler=0x800855e00 mask=0x0 code=SI_KERNEL
79506 dialog4ports CALL sigaction(SIGINT,0x7fffffffd720,0)
79506 dialog4ports RET sigaction 0
79506 dialog4ports CALL ioctl(0x1,TIOCGETA,0x7fffffffd6d0)
79506 dialog4ports RET ioctl 0
79506 dialog4ports CALL write(0x1,0x801676a00,0x17)
79506 dialog4ports GIO fd 1 wrote 23 bytes
79506 dialog4ports RET write 23/0x17
(and cleanup succeeds)
79506 dialog4ports CALL ioctl(0x1,TIOCSETAW,0x80161604c)
79506 dialog4ports RET ioctl 0
79506 dialog4ports CALL exit(0x1)
79433 make RET wait4 RESTART
79433 make PSIG SIGINT caught handler=0x402530 mask=0x0 code=SI_KERNEL
79433 make CALL lstat(0x800ab4980,0x7fffffffd140)
79433 make NAMI "do-config"
79433 make RET lstat -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
79433 make CALL sigaction(SIGINT,0x7fffffffd1a0,0x7fffffffd180)
79433 make RET sigaction 0
79433 make CALL kill(0x13649,SIGINT)
79433 make RET kill 0
79433 make CALL sigreturn(0x7fffffffd220)
79433 make RET sigreturn JUSTRETURN
79433 make PSIG SIGINT SIG_DFL code=SI_USER
79504 sh RET wait4 -1 errno 4 Interrupted system call
79504 sh PSIG SIGINT caught handler=0x41b950 mask=0x0 code=SI_KERNEL
79504 sh CALL sigreturn(0x7fffffffd1d0)
79504 sh RET sigreturn JUSTRETURN

For reference, here's the program which demonstrates the tty layer
behaviour which causes this:
---
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <termios.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <string.h>
int main() {
struct termios t;
int ret;
// save terminal state
ret = ioctl(1, TIOCGETA, &t);
fprintf(stderr, "ioctl(1, TIOCGETA) -> %d / %s\n", ret, strerror(errno));
pid_t p = fork();
if (p > 0) {
// parent would die from SIGTERM early
kill(getpid(), SIGTERM);
} else if (p == 0) {
// child tries to restore terminal state with some delay
usleep(1000);
// because parent is dead now, this will fail with EIO
ret = ioctl(1, TIOCSETAW, &t);
fprintf(stderr, "ioctl(1, TIOCSETAW) -> %d / %s\n", ret, strerror(errno));
}
return 0;
}
---
Now to fix this, I suggest that instead of killing itself, make should
signal all its childs carefully and wait() on them, only then die
itself.
Now after a quick glance at bmake sources it seems like the jobs control
code
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/contrib/bmake/job.c?revision=317239&view=markup#l2633
does the very same thing that I've just described, however bmake is run
in compat mode by default, and CompatInterrupt does exactly what ktrace
shows - it just kills itself.
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/contrib/bmake/compat.c?revision=310304&view=markup#l180
So, to fix this problem it seems that CompatInterrupt should be improved
as described above.
Also wanted to ask kib@, ian@ (as recent committers to tty.c) it this
behavior of tty layer is correct and if it could be improved.
