XED error when running --benchmarks with multiple workloads

[GA]

Hi Wim / Trevor

When i run  multiple workloads using --benchmarks  for eg :

./run-sniper --benchmarks=splash2-fft-test-2,splash2-barnes-test-2,splash2-fmm-test-2

I get the following error

[SNIPER] Setting instrumentation mode to DETAILED
sniper: sift_reader.cc:589: const Sift::StaticInstruction* Sift::Reader::decodeInstruction(uint64_t, uint8_t): Assertion `result == XED_ERROR_NONE' failed.

[SNIPER] End
[SNIPER] Elapsed time: 9.28 seconds
Pin app terminated abnormally due to signal 6.
Pin app terminated abnormally due to signal 6.
Pin app terminated abnormally due to signal 6.


Also if try to use -p option for one workload  ie  ./run-sniper -p splash2-barnes -i test -n 2 then simulation completes.


Can you please let me know why this error is happening ?


Thanks
Gayathri

Gayathri,

    If your splash benchmarks aren't compiled correctly (or run into other issues), the SIFT feeder (another process that runs the application in a Pin tool) might crash or fail to run the application. This will cause an error to show up in Sniper like the one you are seeing. Take a look at the benchmark-app*-run*.log files to see what is going wrong.

Hi Trevor,

If Splash2 aren't compiled correctly, howcome -p option works for single benchmarks ?

for single benchmarks with -p option it works fine. Only with --benchmarks option it gives error.

Gayathri,

There was a discussion about this on the Sniper mailing list a few months ago [1]. This problem could be caused by Pin or the experimental --viz-aso feature that we added to Sniper recently. If you are using --viz-aso, could you try simulating without it. Otherwise, which version of Pin are you using? You might want to try using a newer (or older) version to see if that helps. Also, which OS are you using, and are you running in 32-bit or 64-bit mode? Right now we are not sure if this is a Pin issue, or an issue with the Sniper pin tools, so any other feedback would definitely be helpful, especially if it could help us reproduce this problem.

Hi Trevor,

1. I am NOT using  --viz option

( I am running command ./run-sniper --benchmarks=splash2-fft-test-2 from $SNIPER_ROOT/benchmarks folder)

(Also If i use ./run-sniper -p splash2-fft -i test -n 2 , the simulation works perfectly fine)

2.  This error happens only in sniper 5.3. My Sniper 5.2 is running fine with --benchmarks

3. I am using Ubuntu 12.04 Linux and X86_64 architecture

4. I tried using both pinplay1.1 with pin 2.13_61206 and also pinplay-1.2-pin-2.13-62732-gcc.4.4.7-linux. Both of them result in the same error.

sniper: sift_reader.cc:589: const Sift::StaticInstruction* Sift::Reader::decodeInstruction(uint64_t, uint8_t): Assertion `result == XED_ERROR_NONE' failed.
Pin app terminated abnormally due to signal 6.

benchmark_app0_log0 gives the following information :

A:Source/pin/pin/image.cpp:RTN_Name:RTN_Name:1699: assertion failed: RTN_Valid(x)

Hi Gayathri,

Thanks, this is what we needed to see. Can you see if the attached patch helps?

Regards,

Hi Wim,


Thanks. Now it works fine.

Hello,

Can you please explain how  to apply the patch? I encountered the same problem.

Thank you!

[Prashanth Thinakaran]

Can you please tell me how to patch the given file ?  Even I am stuck with the same problem.

[Wen Zong]

You can open the patch file. Two files needs to be modified, the pin/trace_rtn.cc and sift/recorder/trace_rtn.cc.

Change the line started with - to the next line started with + in the two files.

[mike anastasakis]

I have changed the lines on those two files described on the patch but I still get the same problem as described.
I only have the problem when i use the command --benchmarks . Could you help me? I describe below the results from the run.
This is the result I get.

sniper: sift_reader.cc:589: const Sift::StaticInstruction* Sift::Reader::decodeInstruction(uint64_t, uint8_t): Assertion `result == XED_ERROR_NONE' failed. Pin app terminated abnormally due to signal 6.

and this is my  log file.

Mike,

This problem should be fixed in the most recent version of Sniper, 6.0

I ran into a similar error on Sniper 6.0 as well. I think the error there was the RTN_InsHeadOnly was getting called on rtn that have not been opened yet. In particular, the addRtnTracer function in trace_rtn.cc file calls announceRoutine without opening it first. 

void addRtnTracer(TRACE trace)

{

   if (Sim()->getRoutineTracer())

   {

      // At the start of each trace, check to see if this part of the code belongs to the function we think we're in.

      // This will detect longjmps and tail call elimination, and fix up the call stack appropriately.

      RTN rtn = TRACE_Rtn(trace);

      if (RTN_Valid(rtn))

      {

         if (!Sim()->getRoutineTracer()->hasRoutine(RTN_Address(rtn)))

         {

            announceRoutine(rtn);

[Wim Heirman]

Ganesh,

Looks like you're right. The attached patch should fix this.

Regards,

Wim
