Description Jakub Šebek 2022-05-05 15:12:55 UTC
After upgrading to [100.0_1,2], I am unable to run firefox or thunderbird. Running `firefox --safe-mode` yields a "Trace/BPT trap (core dumped)". Previously it was logging `[Child][PCompositorManagerChild] Error: SendAndWait(msgname=PWebRenderBridge::Msg_EnsureConnected) Channel error: cannot send/recv` too. I haven't debugged ff in the past, any other useful info I can provide?
Comment 1 freebsd 2022-05-05 17:28:11 UTC
I see the same thing, so the Importance field of this bug should be at least "Affects some people".
Comment 2 Jason W. Bacon freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2022-05-05 18:09:01 UTC
Same here.

Thunderbird also crashes on startup.

Falkon works fine.

I tried "mv .mozilla mozilla.save" before starting firefox, in case it's an issue with old config files, but it made no difference.

This happens on my ThinkCenter M92P-Tiny, my ThinkPad T430, and in a VirtualBox guest, all running 13.0-RELEASE.
Comment 3 Jakub Šebek 2022-05-05 18:19:40 UTC
Solved: This has actually been fixed a few days ago in 100.0_3,2 - A result of buggy LLVM, buggy Rust and buggy package repos that haven't built the patch for latest FreeBSD:13:amd64, but they did for quarterly. Be better.
Comment 4 freebsd 2022-05-05 19:07:20 UTC
Can confirm, I just spent a bit of time compiling firefox from ports, it works again.

Ooops, didn't see the replies before uploading the backtraces.  I'll try building from source and report back.

fixed in firefox-100.0_3,2 firefox-esr-91.9.0_2,1 thunderbird-91.9.0_3 - see commit ports fc0a979a30ea
Comment 10 Jason W. Bacon freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2022-05-06 14:47:52 UTC
Confirmed that building from source works here as well.
Comment 11 Tomasz "CeDeROM" CEDRO 2022-05-06 17:06:01 UTC
Thank you for the quick fix in the ports! Rebuilding updated port fixes the issue :-)

However I also notice functional problems with this Firefox on various sites, like hanging after login, not following the internal redirections and updates, etc. Probably some other internals also changed and there is a silent compatibility problem. Removing site data (cookies and local store) fixes the issue.

Thank you :-)
Comment 12 wolfgang 2022-05-07 11:23:22 UTC
I still got this error on firefox-100.0_3,2 until I recompiled it with LTO disabled.
Comment 13 Tomasz "CeDeROM" CEDRO 2022-05-07 12:04:33 UTC
Yes, as described in the patch commit message, LTO needs to be disabled.

After updating port it is good to `make rmconfig` to make sure default config is used. It is disabled now as default.

Comment 15 Oleg Sidorkin 2022-05-12 11:30:03 UTC
Rust switched to LLVM14 in 1.60, so linker from llvm13 that links firefox binary doesn't know how to work with llvm14 libs.

I've built firefox with devel/llvm14 and LTO, and it works (I patched bsd.gecko.mk and created wasi-compiler14 port).
Comment 16 Marc Mance 2022-06-09 14:47:32 UTC
I recently upgraded as well and could not open firefox.  I removed my configs and now I can use firefox.  It is still configured with LTO.

When I went to use thunderbird, it also would crash on start.  I found Bug 263800 and configured thunderbird without LTO, but it gives me the same crash.

❯ thunderbird

Comment 17 Marc Mance 2022-06-09 15:02:30 UTC
It did not remove LTO last time (user error?).  I removed the option and now it works.

> Rust switched to LLVM14 in 1.60, so linker from llvm13 that links firefox binary doesn't know how to work with llvm14 libs.

Thanks for the investigation, Oleg. This seems like something someone ought to report to LLVM project -- the 13.x linker either ought to do "the right thing", or die with a noisy error :(

Meanwhile, in my humble opinion, lang/rust ought to use the ports-provided llvm -- the ongoing flip-flopping between that and using the bundled version needs to stop.

If llvm14 is really mandatory for the newer Rust versions, then lang/llvm14  ought to become a dependency. But the ci.yml files inside Rust's sources indicate llvm-12 as the minimum requirement, so users ought to be able to use those already installed older versions too.

This would reduce build-times significantly and eliminate the mixing of toolchains, which is a bad idea in general and, according to Oleg's investigation, is the actual source of problem in this case in particular.

Disabling an otherwise valid option is not a fix, it is a work-around :( I understand, that gecko-maintainers cannot do much more than that -- except to, maybe, set BROKEN for those, who have LTO explicitly turned on in the options already (so we don't waste hours recompiling the heavy ports)...

salvadore@ please, do you have any thoughts on this?

(In reply to Graham Perrin from comment #19)

I am not a maintainer for any of the ports involved in this bug report and I do not know much about them, but since you ask I am happy to give my opinion: I agree with Mikhail Teterin, using an existing llvm port as dependency rather than a bundled version would be much better. But if it has not been done until now, there must be a reason. I have no idea which one is it.
