Revert "Speculative fix to crashes from a CPU bug"
This reverts commit 10360127. Reason for revert: This fix only had moderate impact and the underlying CPU bug has now been addressed. Original change's description: > Speculative fix to crashes from a CPU bug > > For the last few months Chrome has been seeing many "impossible" crashes > on Intel Gemini Lake, family 6 model 122 stepping 1 CPUs. These crashes > only happen with 64-bit Chrome and only happen in the prologue of two > functions. The crashes come and go across different Chrome versions. > Analysis of most of the crashes shows that the address of the crashing > instruction follows some patterns: > > When crashing in GetFieldIndex() the last byte of the address is always > 1c, 5c, 9c, or dc. > > When crashing in UpdateCaches (fewer unique samples) the last byte of > the address is always 5d or 9d. > > The address of the function is 0xc or 0xd bytes earlier so the crashing > functions always start with an address that ends in 10, 50, 90, or d0. > > Those addresses are for the crashes on a load of the __security_cookie. > The crashes also occasionally happen on the two instructions that follow > the __security_cookie load in which case the crashing instruction's > address has been seen to end with 23 or a3. This corresponds to a > function start address of 10 or 90. > > Since the crash involves reading incorrect instruction bytes when > crossing a 16-byte boundary and since the crash appears to only happen > with particular 16-byte alignments it seems reasonable to force the > function's alignments to a multiple of 32 to see if this reliably > avoids the crashes. This change uses the gcc/clang __attribute__ > directive to force 32-byte alignment. I have tested this change enough to > verify that it triggers the desired alignment (with up to 31 "int 3" > instructions added for padding) but since I have never reproduced this > crash I have no way of testing its efficacy. > > Bug: chromium:968683, chromium:964273 > Change-Id: Ia6e1c6d1e044b84d274817374b25523303e78b51 > Reviewed-on: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/v8/v8/+/1803775 > Reviewed-by: Toon Verwaest <verwaest@chromium.org> > Commit-Queue: Bruce Dawson <brucedawson@chromium.org> > Cr-Commit-Position: refs/heads/master@{#63804} TBR=brucedawson@chromium.org,verwaest@chromium.org # Not skipping CQ checks because original CL landed > 1 day ago.
