#rockbox log for 2017-01-16

00:02:50massapamaury: I boot to original apple firmware and then connect the device to PC - so I always have to power down and up after an upload
00:03:12pamaurymassa: ok
00:05:22pamaurymassa: I think I found the problem
00:05:48massapamaury: the crash is persistent - I uploaded the zip here: http://www.mohrenclan.de/rockbox/ipodvideo_with_g%231499_2017-01-15_23-58.zip
00:06:06massa(map and so on is included)
00:08:39pamaurymassa: can you changes those this line: in apps/gui/skin_engine/skin_parser.c:
00:08:49pamaurychange skin_buffer = ALIGN_UP(skin_buffer, 2); /* align on 4-byte boundary */
00:08:49pamauryinto skin_buffer = ALIGN_UP(skin_buffer, 4); /* align on 4-byte boundary */
00:08:55pamaury(ie 2 becomes 4)
00:09:10pamaurymassa: what is the backtrace you see ?

00:16:19pamauryyeah that sounds about right
00:16:28pamaurycan you try with the change I suggested in skin_parser.c ?
00:16:44massait's building
00:19:47[Saint]ParkerR: Our threading model pisses off the Android Run Time as it doesn't like external calls. There's an almighty great hack up on gerrit that pushes what it's bitching about into the button queue, but it makes the user experience less than desirable.
00:21:49[Saint]The Dalvik Run Time was much more forgiving in this regard. Google has been on a slow march to making using the Native Development Kit unreasonably annoying for years.
00:21:59massapamaury: with the change it works again :-)
00:23:34ParkerR[Saint], Ahh
00:24:46Bilgus[Saint], I think I figured out why the choice of tables was made for the time values that have a large range.. Memory, the whole list gets loaded at once, I suppose this is for list acceleration to work properly
00:25:53pamaurymassa: great
00:25:57pamauryI upaded the gerrit task
00:26:14BilgusI find that strange for contiguous integer values though

00:59:23[Saint]Perhaps even more annoyingly, the 'almighty great hack' to push threading into the button queue only works on Android between 5.0 and 6.1.1
00:59:55[Saint]7.0+ adds further levels of craziness for anyone unfortunate enough to dare use native code in their application.

11:18:41gevaertsAs in, I pass /tmp/wavy/wps/wavy.wps to checkwps, and it ends up looking for ./tmp/wavy/wps/wavy.wps
11:18:42jhMikeShmmm, I see a '.' being prepended
11:19:05jhMikeSthere's probably a reason, like no base dir being provided
11:19:26jhMikeSsim_root_dir
11:20:29gevaertsThat one probably should be / instead of . I guess
11:20:57gevaertsOr would that break relative paths?
11:21:00*gevaerts tries
11:21:52jhMikeSjust ""?
11:22:36 Quit pamaury_ (Ping timeout: 248 seconds)
11:22:37gevaertsor "" work
11:22:46jhMikeS"" will just prepend nothing
11:23:16gevaerts"/" or "" work for absolute paths, neither work for relative. I don't actually know if relative has ever worked there in that way though

11:23:43 Join petur [0] (~petur@rockbox/developer/petur)
11:24:48gevaertsRight, sim_get_os_path doesn't do relative paths at all
11:26:47*gevaerts tries to figure out if the themesite uses absolute paths
11:29:12jhMikeSnormally it simulates in the simdisk directory and so rejects them
11:29:45jhMikeSand relative bits that would take you above the sim root would be clipped
11:30:09*gevaerts nods
11:30:47jhMikeSnot even sure why it builds that file for an external utility anyway
11:31:14gevaertsLooks like things work fine for checkwps if I comment out the absolute path check
11:31:30gevaertsMaybe add an #ifndef __PCTOOL__ around that?
11:31:30 Quit TorC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)

11:37:19gevaertsjhMikeS: http://paste.debian.net/908951/ makes things work for me. Not sure if that's a clean enough fix, and I have no idea if the database tool was broken or gets fixed (I don't actually know how it works...)
11:37:59gevaertsI'm not sure if I want to get into bypassing sim_*() for checkwps and database though, IIRC that set of macros is poisonous and bites if you don't spend a week on them
11:38:54jhMikeSwhich?
11:39:23jhMikeSyou mean the ones that map regular posix calls to sim_*?
11:39:48gevaertsYes
11:40:26gevaertsI have vague but not very nice memories of those from when the app builds were added

11:42:43gevaertsIf you can make __PCTOOL__ (i.e. database and checkwps) easily use straight open(), go for it. Otherwise, I think just disabling that path_is_absolute() check for them is probably find
11:42:47gevaerts*fine
11:42:50jhMikeSI'm trying to discern the true intent of using sim api functions
11:43:35jhMikeSsince really it only enforces native target-like behavior to parsing a path
11:45:47jhMikeSthen again, maybe you want that if parsing is supposed to be in the context of running on a target
11:48:14jhMikeSyou're supposed to run the tool with the cwd being "root"?
11:48:28gevaertsHmmm, database probably still needs a sim_root_dir of ".". It's supposed to be run from the target directory
11:49:03gevaertscheckwps on the other hand can (or could) be run from anywhere
11:49:30gevaertsSo for database the current behaviour is probably correct
11:49:33jhMikeSit sounds like it shouldn't be using sim_ functions at all

12:04:40gevaertscheckwps as an app build does indeed work
12:05:24gevaertsBut again, not sure about database. I *think* that one needs to have the sim's concept of a root directory
12:05:40gevaertsWhich means we have to split up __PCTOOL_ for those

12:14:42jhMikeSwhy?
12:15:17gevaertsI don't know for sure :)
12:16:01gevaertsI mean, I'm assuming that the database stores pathnames, and those pathnames have to be absolute within the context of the rockbox root
12:16:26gevaertsI don't know if they will be correct if the sim logic isn't used
12:16:41jhMikeStrue
12:16:52gevaertsAnyway, assuming the database has to remain on sim logic, http://paste.debian.net/908960/ seems to fix things for me
12:16:57pamauryIt would be logical that the database stores absolute name and wps store relative names.
12:17:25gevaertsthat moves checkwps to app logic and leaves database on sim logic
12:17:52gevaerts(and re-adds win32 support for both, which is of course untested)
12:19:31jhMikeSI'm still trying to figure out how the old checkwps got its sim root
12:20:38gevaertsBy accident, probably :)
12:20:59gevaertsDid it actually use the sim_*() functions?
12:21:04jhMikeSis APPLICATION defined when building those?
12:21:51gevaertsIt isn't *now*
12:22:08 Quit paulk-blaze (Quit: Leaving)
12:22:27jhMikeSwait, so they used to define APPLICATION
12:22:28jhMikeS?
12:23:10gevaertsNo idea :)
12:23:37gevaertsI know it's not defined now, but I didn't check the old code
12:26:53jhMikeSno need for sim_root_dir would explain it because it just defined as a noop
12:27:03jhMikeSwas defined

16:00:10chrisjjI have a theory on why memDFS battery_bench.txt (ZEN charging an empty battery) only ever gets one entry. The watchdog is rebooting the device after the first one, leaving the device with screen looking exactly the same, but with the BB plugin stopped.
16:04:04pamaurychrisjj: did you benchmark lcd sleep vs no lcd sleep ?
16:05:14chrisjjNo. I'm still trying trying to benchmark memDFS. And failing due to BSoPO.
16:06:10chrisjjIf your lcd* are on the same base, I think the same problem will prevent me benchmarking them too.
16:06:22__builtinchrisjj: what the heck is a "BSoPO"?
16:06:40chrisjjBlack Screen of Power Off.
16:07:32chrisjjZEN builds since Dec are mysteriously spontaneously going to power-off state after anything from 3min to 3hr after clean boot.
16:08:02chrisjjDepends on some variables, but I haven't pinpointed them
16:08:38pamaurychrisjj: instead of benchmarking memdfs, then it would be better to find the offending commit don't you think ?
16:08:57chrisjjBe my guest! :-)
16:09:01chrisjjOr tell me how to.
16:10:09pamaurywhat is the last know working commit again ?
16:10:12pamaury*known
16:10:14chrisjjRe my theory at [15:00], I have no idea what's angering the watchdog. Not memDFS it seems - the same issue shows on non-memDFS build be68b6a7b-170109. And though most BSoPO have appeared in playback, there's no playback in the case. Device is doing nothing but charging.
16:11:42chrisjjThe last known (to me) /build/ free from BSoPO is lcd_fix - 45697a0bf-161212.
16:12:41chrisjjAnd yes I agree, finding the offender should be the priority.

16:29:51chrisjjOK, but to save me time adding a another device to the set, first could you help me confirm my theory of [15:00]?
16:31:10chrisjjI.e. how can I determine whether a default-settings ZEN on charge on PC in non-USB-mode is getting watchdog reboots?
16:31:40chrisjjNot that default settings means backlight slept.
16:31:41pamaury_I can send you a build with HEAD + no watchdog if that helps
16:31:51pamaury_if that's what you want
16:32:38chrisjjPerhaps the answer is: You would see the BL text for sure. (I don't know, since I know no way to test by manually angering the watchdog in this state.)
16:33:57chrisjjThanks, but if there's an answer I can apply without changing any of the current four test devices, it would be good.
16:34:53chrisjjs/Thanks, but/Thanks for that build offer, but/
16:35:38pamaury_chrisjj: what about starting the device, plug usb with a holding a key so that you get charging but still rockbox. If the watchdog triggers, device reboots into bootloader usb mode
16:36:19chrisjjAh, I should have thought of that. Thanks.Trying...

16:57:41chrisjjpamaury: I verified it using button reset to simulate watchdog reset). I.e. With Shortcut button held, connect to PC, wait for RB main menu. Press reset. Verify bootloader text appears and remains.
16:58:41pamauryof course
16:58:57*chrisjj is leaving nothing to chance.
16:59:22chrisjjI verified it using a playback that normally triggers a BSoPO. I.e. With Shortcut button held, connect to PC, wait for RB main menu, set a WMA playing. Wait for Verify bootloader text to appear and remain. Success.
17:00
17:00:19chrisjj(I think that also confirms somewhat that BSoPO is reset on watchdog. On internal power, it goes to power-off. On external power, it reboots.)
17:01:37chrisjjI tried this test on the [15:00] theory re charging... but got no BL. i.e. no watchdog reset. BUT this differs from the original instances in that the charge level is high.
17:02:01chrisjjI shall empty a battery and retry.
17:03:03chrisjjThe comment the other day that firmware upgraders often require full charge got me thinking.
17:03:05pamauryit could also be a hard crash of the hardware
17:03:41pamaurya VDDD or other power rail brownout can do that
17:04:12chrisjjAny known way that this watchdog angering could occur at low charge and not high?
17:05:09chrisjjE.g. on a switch from the OF charger to the RB BL charger, or RB app charger?
17:05:28pamaurychrisjj: I am not sure I see the point of obsessing on memdfs since obviously there is a problem and we don't even know if it is caused by mem dfs or something else
17:05:51chrisjjI'm not obsessing on memDFS. This BSoPO is all over recent builds.
17:05:54pamauryremoving mem dfs from the equation can only make it simpler
17:06:10chrisjjI have done. Problem remained.
17:06:27pamauryI sent you a build with no watchdog, did you test it ?
17:06:44chrisjjNot yet. As I said, I'm trying to conserve devices.
17:07:27chrisjjI have only six free for RB testing and am about to send you two.
17:09:16pamauryI don't understand what you are trying to do by testing a build that we know fail
17:11:16chrisjjI'm trying to find the conditions under which evasive fail can be reproduced, so that I/someone can do the bisect you suggested, to locate the culprit change.
17:12:06chrisjjIf you know a better way, do say.
17:12:07pamauryI still don't understand: strart the device, play a huge playlist, check in 6 hours if the device is still running
17:13:27pamauryand check battery_bench and/or the running time in the system menu
17:13:46pamaury(since on reset, battery bench will not restart and the running time will be cleared)
17:14:22chrisjjThat's proven insufficient. E.g. I had that test fail, then pass under possibly changed conditions, then fail on a builds from you differing in (probably only) an LCD fix.
17:15:35pamaurythen what do you suggest ? Unless you have a 100 reliable way of triggering the bug, that's called real life debugging I'm afraid
17:15:42pamaury* 100%
17:16:04chrisjjI had avoided battery bench since that looks like a (possibly the) condition causing the BSoOD, but I am near to eliminating that possibility so can hopefully return to it.
17:16:28chrisjjAre you sure running time is reliably cleared by watchdog reset?
17:17:48pamauryunless I'm mistaken it's the running time since the device booted (ie not the cumulative runtime) so yes, it starts at 0 when rockbox loads and starts counting, it's not a hardware thing
17:18:06pamaurybut otherwise by playback wouldn't be enough ?
17:18:20chrisjjFWIW (not much) the manual does not accord and IIRC (while forums down) I've seen comment saying Running Time does not work as expected.
17:18:35pamauryif the device resets, playback is not restarted
17:18:55pamaurythus: playback => no reset, no playback => reset/crash
17:19:12chrisjjSorry, our [16:18]'s crossed and my [16:18] was about Running Time, not playback.
17:19:36pamauryI'm saying that I don't understand why you don't simply use playback
17:19:51pamaurythat's clearly the best way to determine if a crashed happened imo
17:20:29*chrisjj powers-on ZEN, immediately reads Running Time, sees 14m
17:20:52*chrisjj powers-on second ZEN, immediately reads Running Time, sees 1h19m
17:20:55pamaurythen maybe it's the cumulative running time
17:21:12gevaertsI believe (not sure!) it should be the time since it was last charged
17:21:28pamauryah that would make sense
17:21:58gevaertsIIRC it's stored in nvram, which is simulated on most targets, which means it might not be updated if the device crashes
17:22:02pamaurymanual says:
17:22:05pamaury Running Time:
17:22:05pamaury This item shows the cumulative overall runtime of your player since you either disconnected it from charging (in Rockbox) or manually reset this item. A manual reset is done through pressing any button, followed by pressing Select or Right.
17:22:13*chrisjj sees Top Time 1h18m, clear Top Top, resets unit, power-on, sees Top Time 1h18m.
17:22:41*chrisjj remains unimpressed by Running Time and Top Time, but will try power-down not reset.
17:23:21*gevaerts remains unimpressed by lots of things
17:23:44*chrisjj sees Top Time 1h18m, clears Top Top, powers-off, power-on, sees Top Time 1h18m.
17:26:25*chrisjj clears Running Time, clears Top Time, returns to main menu, powers-off, powers-on and sees Running Time and Top Time at 0h 0m Xs. Phew.
17:28:23chrisjjpamaury, Top Top is not updated if the device resets, so I'm guess yes you're right in suggesting it does not update in the device crashes.
17:28:28*pamaury thinks chrisjj hasn't answered the question of why playback isn't a reliable way of knowing if the devivce crashed
17:28:33chrisjjs/Top Top/Top Time/
17:29:28*chrisjj assumes he wasn't sufficiently clear that the device can crash even when not playing.
17:30:15chrisjjHowever, we can see how far we get with playback.
17:32:25pamauryif the device can crash when no playing then it crash when playing
17:32:36pamaury*it can crash when playing
17:33:34pamauryI can't see how playing music makes it more likely to not trigger the bug, quite the opposite in fact

17:39:38pixelmawell, if Running Time is currently that (1h18m) then if you reset Top Time it'll be set to current Running Time, that's to be expected

23:08:22chrisjjpixelma, You'd think so, wouldn't you? Until you actually try it and find that resetting Top Time sets it's display to 0h0m0s, not Running Time.
23:09:32chrisjjAnd on ZEN doesn't itself set the variable at all. If the device crashes and gets reset by watchdog, or you power-off, your change is lost.
23:11:31chrisjjWorkaround: after resetting Top Time, press Back twice. Once is insufficient.
23:16:19pamauryif you reset the top time, it will get reset to 0 but set to running time on the next update, which is basically as soon as you leave the system menu apparently
23:16:35pamauryof course on reset you loose everything, which is not very surprising
