Comment 1

[Scoobidiver (away)]

It's #11 top crasher in 14.0.1, #12 in 15.0b3, #39 in 16.0a2, and #17 in 17.0a1.

Comment 2

[Scoobidiver (away)]

It's #7 non-fixed top crasher in 15.0b5.

Comment 3

[Scoobidiver (away)]

It's #1 top crasher in 16.0b1 while only #15 in 15.0.

Jelly Bean is unaffected.

Comment 4

[David Mandelin [:dmandelin]]

This looks like a null-pointer crash in jitcode generated for regular expressions. I would tend to think it's just a bug in our code, but it's very strange that Jelly Bean would be unaffected by a bug like that. Scoobi, could Jelly Bean not have reports just because there's not much data, or are there enough reports that we can confidently say the bug doesn't affect JB?

Without STR it's of course difficult to attack, but there are a few things we could try. Erin, could you please advise on which of these makes sense?

1. We could disable the regexp JIT on Android. That would either make this crash go away, or show that the problem is actually something else entirely. Disabling the regexp JIT would regress our benchmark performance. It would probably not have impact on user experience, but I don't know for sure.

 - If we do this for Beta, we wouldn't see the results until the next Beta release. And obviously it's riskier.
 - We could do it for trunk, which is safer but wouldn't help Beta.

2. We could pick up updates from Apple's copy of Yarr and see if that fixes the problem. The downsides are that it is a lot of work and also risky (we could patch it wrong and introduce new bugs). The risks are worse for Beta - we could just do this on trunk and then it wouldn't be so risky and wouldn't matter that it could take a while.

I sorted out crash reports by Linux version. I am not completely sure JB is unaffected because I haven't found something about Android versions in rkaiser and chofmann's correlation reports.

Both of these options seem risky for where we are in the release. Let's wontfix for 16 given this is an issue since 14, and instead try speculative fixes in 17/18. I don't feel strongly about option trying #1 or #2, since we'd be making this change on Aurora.

On all those crashes? Also, how should a mere different kernel make the JIT crash?

There are enough reports and still no crashes on JB.

Not saying it's on all the crashes.  We just need to reproduce it on one at the very least to get it more actionable.  Cynogenmod 10 is crashy.

CM10 sure, but nothing here points to CM10 from what I saw, but to GB, HC and ICS, while CM10 is based on JB, AFAIK. The bug reports on CM10 are elsewhere. This is a JIT/Yarr crash on Android proper (and from what I see on different devices).

Comment 14

[Lukas Blakk [:lsblakk] use ?needinfo]

This is at #9 topcrasher in 17 and that's before we go to Beta channel in less than a week.  What are the speculative fix options here? Let's get to trying some in the next week's early 17 betas so we can nail down a fix before 17 release.

Unfortunately this issue looks pretty difficult to investigate. We have two options right now:

 (1) Update our copy of YARR to the latest copy in the WebKit tree. Our copy is a year+ old, and I'm doing this update in bug 740015. That's not really something we should take for aurora though, but at least we can see if it fixes the issue on trunk.

 (2) Disable our regular expression JIT on ARM, on aurora. This would cost us something on benchmarks, but would be highly likely to fix this bug. There isn't much evidence that regular expression JITs matter on the web, FWIW, it is mainly a benchmarketing thing.

Comment 18

[Lukas Blakk [:lsblakk] use ?needinfo]

Looks like we have a possible STR in comment 17. Assigning to David for further investigation - re-assign to another engineer as needed, but at this point in the beta cycle we have to make sure the tracked bugs are assigned to people and actively being worked on.

Comment 19

[David Anderson [:dvander] - inactive, e-mail if emergency]

Marty, could you take a look at the STR in comment #17? If we can't reproduce a crash off that, I recommend that we just turn off the regex JIT on ARM until we push the Yarr update through.

Comment 20

[Robert Kaiser]

This is the #5 topcrash in 17.0b1 for Android. It's present on desktop as well, but only at #192 there.

Comment 21

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

This is the #1 topcrash for Firefox 16.0.1 for Android.

Comment 22

[David Anderson [:dvander] - inactive, e-mail if emergency]

I just talked with Marty about this. Unfortunately we're in the middle of a JS work week so the earliest he'll be able to look into it is late this weekend. In the event we can't have a real fix in time, there is a fallback option I proposed in comment #15: we can disable the regex JIT on ARM. We'd lose on benchmarks, but past studies have suggested regex JITing does not really matter for web performance.

Comment 23

[Naoki Hirata :nhirata (please use needinfo instead of cc)]

can't seem to repro using 19a1 10/15 build... removing reproducible.  Going to try to reproduce this crash again.

Does that mean it crashes with ion.content = true?

Comment 27

[Marty Rosenberg [:mjrosenb]]

I recently tried fuzzing the regexp jit on mobile and arm.  After a few hours of dying with OOMs, I didn't see anything that looked similar to these crashes.  I don't think there is much that I can do without a reproducible test case.

Comment 28

[Lukas Blakk [:lsblakk] use ?needinfo]

Looks like this had a spike in 17.0b3 - will wait to see what 17.0b4 data brings and then make the call on whether to untrack this for 17/18 or we'll need to disable the regex JIT on ARM.

js::RegExpShared::execute is #2 for 17.0b4, so it looks like a regression, not a transitional spike in b3. I guess we need to see if we still can do something for 17.

Comment 30

[Robert Kaiser]

Hmm, as https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/list?signature=js%3A%3ARegExpShared%3A%3Aexecute shows, this is also happening in high volume on 16.0.2 and 16.0.1 - I'm actually at a loss as to why crash-stats doesn't show it as a topcrash for 16.0.2, as my explosiveness reports do show it as such.

Comment 31

[Scoobidiver (away)]

(In reply to Robert Kaiser (:[e-mail]) from comment #30)

It's #1 top crasher in 16.0.2: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/topcrasher/byversion/FennecAndroid/16.0.2

As comment 27 mentions, without a reproducible test case there's unfortunately no forward movement on this one.  At this stage we have to wontfix for 17.

Comment 33

[David Anderson [:dvander] - inactive, e-mail if emergency]

With bug 740015 landed we should look to see how this affects regex stability on mobile. It might be too early though.

It's promising because there are no crashes after 19.0a1/20121101 (the patch of bug 740015 landed in 19.0a1/20121103): https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/list?product=FennecAndroid&version=FennecAndroid%3A19.0a1&range_value=4&range_unit=weeks&signature=js%3A%3ARegExpShared%3A%3Aexecute%28JSContext*%2C%20JS%3A%3AStableCharPtr%2C%20unsigned%20int%2C%20unsigned%20int*%2C%20js%3A%3AMatchPairs**%29 and https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/list?product=FennecAndroid&version=FennecAndroid%3A19.0a1&range_value=4&range_unit=weeks&signature=js%3A%3ARegExpShared%3A%3Aexecute%28JSContext*%2C%20unsigned%20short%20const*%2C%20unsigned%20int%2C%20unsigned%20int*%2C%20js%3A%3AMatchPairs**%29

Even if it helps, this landing on 19 only will have a hard time fixing a 16 and 17 topcrash, for sure. :-/

We can consider an uplift, depending on a risk evaluation by David.

Scoobidiver, does Firefox 19 have any new RegEx crash signatures that just replaced the old one? If not, I think this is actually low-risk.

I think js::ExecuteRegExp is a possible replacement (about one crash per build like this bug) even if one crash happened before the fix of bug 740015: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/list?product=FennecAndroid&version=FennecAndroid%3A19.0a1&range_value=4&range_unit=weeks&signature=js%3A%3AExecuteRegExp%28JSContext*%2C%20js%3A%3ARegExpStatics*%2C%20js%3A%3ARegExpShared%26%2C%20JS%3A%3AHandle%3CJSStableString*%3E%2C%20JS%3A%3AStableCharPtr%2C%20unsigned%20int%2C%20unsigned%20int*%2C%20js%3A%3ARegExpExecType%2C%20JS%3A%3AValue*%29

Hrm, if this only moved things to a different signature, it's of course probably not worth to uplift anywhere - and we need to continue investigating. :(

The good news is that so far, this is not a topcrash on 17.0b6, so maybe something makes us dodge it for 17?

No, it's still in the top 5 in 17.0b6: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/topcrasher/byversion/FennecAndroid/17.0b6

Hrm, yes, sorry.  Not sure what I did look at. :(

It might be if there is an overall reduction in crashes.

Comment 44

[Alex Keybl [:akeybl]]

This has affected Firefox since FF15 (Fennec Native rewrite) - tracking for releases won't move the needle in the future.

Comment 45

[Robert Kaiser]

js::RegExpShared::execute stays at the top of the 17.0 for Android topcrash list, it's #1 with ~3% of all crashes.

On 19, we have way less data, but https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/list?signature=js%3A%3AExecuteRegExp%28JSContext%2A%2C%20js%3A%3ARegExpStatics%2A%2C%20js%3A%3ARegExpShared%26%2C%20JS%3A%3AHandle%3CJSStableString%2A%3E%2C%20JS%3A%3AStableCharPtr%2C%20unsigned%20int%2C%20unsigned%20int%2A%2C%20js%3A%3ARegExpExecType%2C%20JS%3A%3AValue%2A%29&version=FennecAndroid%3A19.0a2 might actually have taken over. Really hard to tell with the low ADU and crash numbers on Aurora, though.

dvander, Marty, any chance we can get some traction here?

Comment 46

[David Anderson [:dvander] - inactive, e-mail if emergency]

There is nothing we can do for this bug without STR, unfortunately. We could still make a call to turn the regex JIT off on ARM, which would be a benchmark performance hit, but maybe worth it if we think there is too much instability.

Comment 47

[Naoki Hirata :nhirata (please use needinfo instead of cc)]

Primary signature is gone from 19 and above.
There must have been some change in 19 that caused this.

QAWanted tag to try to get STRs per Comment 46.

We updated Yarr for 19 (Bug 740015).

I guess that's what fixed a lot of those cases, then. Yay!

Or just moved them from js::RegExpShared::execute to js::ExecuteRegExp, as that's rising on 19 now.

Comment 51

[Scoobidiver (away)]

It's #15 top crasher in 19.0.2, not enough to qualify it for the topcrash keyword according to https://wiki.mozilla.org/CrashKill/Topcrash

Comment 52

[Scoobidiver (away)]

With combined signatures, it's #138 crasher in 20.0 so not even close to top crashers as it was before.

Comment 53

[Scoobidiver (away)]

99% of crashes happen on ARMv6 devices and in any Android versions.

We've replaced the regexp engine twice since this bug was opened, and this hasn't been a top crash in years. I think this is safe to close.
