We would really need to be able to reproduce this crash in order to solve this issue - although there are lots of reports, without a stack it is difficult to debug.

(In reply to Marcia Knous [:marcia - use ni] from comment #6) > We would really need to be able to reproduce this crash in order to solve > this issue - although there are lots of reports, without a stack it is > difficult to debug. Skywalker333, the signature means, that FF crashes, but the crash reporter (Breakpad [CrashPad]) isn't able to collect data of the crash. There are no crashing thread identified (look at the end of a crash report, e.g. https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/25ce4993-56d1-4341-929d-6a5c20170509, threads are missing) and no minidump header is send. The engineers of FF need this stacks to analyze whats happened in FF before FF crash - but without data they can't analyze anything. What they need (when all other things are missing) are detailed steps to reproduce the crash (e.g. info about which add-on crash FF with this sig). E.g. info like in crash https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/25ce4993-56d1-4341-929d-6a5c20170509: "In OSX from 'Apple' Icon menu of Finder switching Network 'Location' causes FireFox to crash." Such crashes can be tried to reproduce and analyzed. Maybe you can find comments to crash reports that have such information. Greets, Tobias.

"out of memory" (OOM) can happen on desktops, too. But there was a try (some times ago) to make a memory dump when the task runes out of memory before FF crash. Don't know what happened to this try and why breakpad can't save this info before FF crashes, but normally OOM should be this sig: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/signature/?signature=OOM%20|%20small

Tracy, sorry, don't know who else to tag for reproduce (QA). (Is flag in-qa-testsuite for this or is there any other way to ask QA for reproduce?)

qawanted (along with a note in whiteboard indicating the specific need) is the keyword to use here. I don't know who is actively triaging that keyword. Let's see what happens. I'll leave myself NI'd to check in later if no one pics it up.

IIRC I have been getting these signatures when running inside `firejail` without `--allow-debuggers`. So maybe there's some amount of (linux) reports caused by this.

OK, I registered with Twitter and tried it... By both videos I have "high memory action" in the Task Manager, but the videos don't play! I use Firefox 55.0a1, 64-bit with E10s on Win7 and Flash 26.0.0.115 with "Block dangerous and intrusive Flash content" activated. Toshihiro Yamada, what version of FF and Flash (info like me above) do you use? Can anybody else test/confirm it? Can imagine that this are damaged videos or exploits... but IMHO FF should crash with OOM if the "high memory action" is the problem...

I use latest 55.0a1 nightly on 64-bit Win10 and Flash 25.0.0.171. I also noticed "Block dangerous and intrusive Flash content" blocks playing videos. (In my environment, this setting works only in safe mode. But as the freeze happened in safe-mode, it is other problem...) Recently, ニコニコ動画 provides html5 player for modern browsers. (For example: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm2416354) In this case, video plays normally with html5 version player and the problem happens with flash version player.

Wontfix for 53 and likely for 54. Is there any way we can improve the info we're getting in the crash to have better diagnosis of what's happening? Maire, is this something the a/v team might help investigate, since the recent spike in this signature may have something to do with video?

This is effectively just "we failed to write a minidump". `ERROR_NO_MINIDUMP_HEADER` means the stackwalker couldn't read the 32-byte minidump header, which usually means the file is zero bytes in length. > Why we have so much crashes with OOM with this sig when OOM should be a other sig? I don't think these are necessarily all OOM crashes. > Is it possible to start/load breakpad earlier to get some more threads? Breakpad is initialized very early in application startup, before we spawn any other threads, AFAIK. Unfortunately writing a minidump from within a crashed process is doomed to fail sometimes. I picked an arbitrary crash report from a recent Firefox desktop version out of the list in the query in comment 14: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/ca4d07ce-71dd-449c-98e2-d99de0170607#tab-metadata It claims to have a process uptime of "2 days, 48 minutes and 16 seconds". In the metadata tab I see: GraphicsCriticalError |[0][GFX1-]: [D2D1.1] 4CreateBitmap failure Size(20,24000) Code: 0x80070057 format 0 (t=3786.81) |[1][GFX1-]: [D2D1.1] 4CreateBitmap failure Size(20,24000) Code: 0x80070057 format 0 (t=6849.66) It looks like we failed to create a very large bitmap. Unfortunately the MozCrashReason field is just "MOZ_CRASH()", so it doesn't give us any real useful info. I wonder if we shouldn't put __FILE__ and __LINE__ in there, or at least write them out in a separate annotation field to give ourselves something to work with in these situations? https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/5801aa478de12a62b2b2982659e787fcc4268d67/mfbt/Assertions.h#269

Do you have multi-process-support activated in your browser-settings? Do FF really crash with this signature, when you try to watch the videos?

A underlying problem is that tab frequently hangs when I try to watch videos on ニコニコ動画's flash-version player. I need to stop the tab-process manually and I get this crash signatures. I tried to investigated the situation more during the past few days, and I found a11y is related to the problem. As far as I tested, no more hangs after I disabled a11y. So, I think my case can boil down to the issue of a11y like Bug 1339589.

Given that our crash-handling code already has in-process and OOP dump generation, and we are already generating minidumps OOP for child processes, I think it makes sense to also make dump generation OOP for the parent process. A quick path for this is creating a child process that is used to monitor crash of the parent process. We can make it a preferred dump method and fallback to in-process dump if we fail to initialize this monitoring process for any reason. If this turns out to be working well, we can migrate dump generation of all processes to this monitoring process. Ted, is there any work ongoing for make dump generation of the parent process OOP? If not I am going to pursue this idea.

I've suggested in the past that breakpad could be run as an operating system service so that it could always handle crashes, error reporting, and minidump analysis, even when the main process is hung or crashed.

We also see empty or partial minidump during automated tests. This is an example: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/logviewer.html#?repo=mozilla-inbound&job_id=124159471&lineNumber=4894 where there is an incomplete minidump for when we were generating paired minidumps. Maybe the process was force-killed before the it completed writing the dump.

I received a crash with this signature when I ran out of hard drive space. https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/cdbe3f47-178c-4f8b-879a-096f50180417 It seems... pretty reasonable that we can't write dump information without any free disk space. Is there any way to tell how many of these could be the same situation?

This is still happening in current Firefox versions, even for completely blank profiles, with a brand new reinstallation of Firefox.
Definitely not an OOM issue for me.
I'd also like to note that Firefox crashed on me 150+ times without any crash report before it produced a ERROR_NO_MINIDUMP_HEADER crash dump once. While that might not be the case for everyone, it could mean there's thousands more crashes than reported.
If it helps, I can give you about 45 Windows Error Report ids or .wer files. Some of them sent hundreds of megabytes to microsoft servers, there's bound to be something useful there.
|
||
Comment 47•3 years ago
|
||
.wer files are not very useful unfortunately but if you could provide me with a minidump collected locally via WER that would help a lot. To do so you need to add a registry key (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps) and then when Firefox crashes look for the minidump under C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\CrashDumps. You can find more info about this here: Collecting User-Mode Dumps.
Send me the minidump directly via e-mail, do not attach it to this bug as it might contain privacy-sensitive information.

Yes, I would like to add some error reporting to the code that generates minidumps so that we can track the root causes of the failures. Unfortunately I've got my hands full ATM and I don't think I'll be able to look into it before next month. I'll file a bug that blocks this one so I don't forget.

This is a signature change caused by the new stack walker. BTW a quick glance at the remaining volume of crashes on desktop points to OOMs.

I've just tried again the same tests but with an access to the machine via ssh, thus with an X server running on a different machine, and Firefox doesn't crash in such a case. In short, the crash occurs only on some particular hardware and only locally. So the cause of the crash could be some form of race condition, or perhaps Firefox runs different code in this case.

It's odd to get a crash without a minidump but it can happen if some form of external sandboxing (or kernel security module) is used, as those can prevent the crash report from accessing /proc and thus generating the minidump. Could this machine be using something like that? Additionally the crash in bug 1803899 comment 5 shows that you're using a closed-source Nvidia driver on the machine. They're often a source of problems so that might also be the culprit.

I'm using firejail (as I've done for several years) with the firefox profile. Even if I use --ignore='include disable-proc.inc' to fully allow /proc, I get the same behavior (crash without a crash report) with both FF 107 and Nightly.
And I'm using the Nvidia driver because the nouveau driver is too broken and the developers didn't react to my bug reports. This is a possible culprit as a new version appeared yesterday fixing security issues and Debian's changelog says "Improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels". So I'm going to do a few tests, then upgrade.

The buggy Nvidia driver was the cause of the crashes. And when I rebooted, the display manager couldn't even start (apparently because the X server was failing) and the Linux virtual terminals didn't work either, though I had no issues with the reboot on November 30, after the latest updates. I had to do the upgrade via ssh from my phone.
Moreover, I inspected the journalctl logs and saw lots of lines like
Dec 02 19:53:18 zira audit[1440595]: SECCOMP auid=1000 uid=1000 gid=1000 ses=2 subj=firejail-default pid=1440595 comm="CanvasRenderer" exe="/usr/lib/firefox/firefox" sig=0 arch=c000003e syscall=101 compat=0 ip=0x7f22b960f275 code=0x50000
and

starting at this date (nothing like that before, since the beginning of my logs on 2021-04-24). I suppose that this corresponded to the crashes (or was related to them).
Now, after the upgrade, everything is fine.

Just a note to say that the absence of information in the crash reports is (predictably) causing multiple issues across multiple OS and packaging types to be conflated. For example, my crashes on Linux from a Flatpak installation are linked to this thread discussing Windows 10.
I can tell you that even in the Flatpak distribution, which should have updates disabled, Firefox is still downloading something and so randomly corrupting itself. This manifests as tabs suddenly start to crash and then either cannot be reloaded or crash again after e.g. scrolling. Sometimes the browser closes completely without warning and then cannot be relaunched until the installation has been repaired.

This should probably be filed as a separate bug, and marked as blocking bug 1278719. I'm not personally familiar with flatpak but it would also be useful if you could check a directory diff between a functional install and the broken one that flatpak is "repairing" (whatever that means). "Downloading something" is not really much to go on - Firefox downloads lots of stuff while running (not least stuff you tell it to download), but off-hand I can't think of anything that would normally end up in the application directory (neither for flatpaks nor anything else). It should all go either where the user tells it to put things, or in the user's profile directory, which isn't part of the flatpak itself. So I've no idea what the thing is that we could be downloading that is "corrupting" anything.
