CI / build-and-test (push) Successful in 41s
The reported failure -- "Build and run under ThreadSanitizer" exiting
with code 66 -- traced back to a real bug in .gitea/workflows/ci.yml
itself, confirmed by direct reproduction, not just theorized:
1. Root cause: this step's default shell runs under `set -e`. The
previous version assigned OUT via a bare, unwrapped
`OUT=$("./binary" 2>&1)` -- under `-e`, that command's own nonzero
exit status aborts the whole script immediately, *before* the very
next line (even `RC=$?`) ever runs. Confirmed with a two-line
reproduction: `OUT=$(false); echo "after"` under `set -e` never
prints "after". This meant none of the step's careful classification
logic (distinguishing the known TSan-can't-start-here limitation from
a real finding) ever executed -- the first binary to hit the FATAL/
exit-66 case (all of them, on this runner) killed the step outright
with that raw exit code, exactly the outcome the classification logic
exists to prevent. Fixed by wrapping every such invocation in
`if cmd; then RC=0; else RC=$?; fi`, which bash's `-e` rules exempt
from triggering an abort -- verified directly under `bash -eo
pipefail` (matching Gitea Actions' actual shell), not assumed correct.
2. Fixing (1) surfaced a second bug: capturing potentially unbounded
output into a bash variable via `OUT=$(cmd)` is not just slow, it
reproduced as a several-hundred-megabyte shell string when the
DEADLYSIGNAL flake's worse, unbounded-repeating-loop form hit during
this fix's own testing -- and caused the classification logic to
misbehave at that scale (a real failure was misreported with "exit
0"). Fixed in both the ASan/UBSan and TSan steps by redirecting
output to a file and reading back only a bounded 64 KiB prefix for
classification and logging, never loading the whole thing into a
shell variable.
3. While repeatedly reproducing the TSan flake locally to verify (1) and
(2), found a second, previously undocumented variant of the same
underlying "TSan can't start on this runner" issue: instead of
printing FATAL: ThreadSanitizer: unexpected memory mapping and
exiting 66, TSan's broken startup occasionally segfaults outright.
Confirmed this is the same environmental cause, not a bug in any
specific test file, by hitting three different, unrelated binaries
(test_journal_failure in one run, test_crash_consistency and test_dir
together in another) across repeated full-suite runs -- a real bug
in one file's code would not migrate to different files at random.
The TSan step's classification now recognizes this variant too
(a log containing only timeout's own "dumped core" notice and nothing
else -- no program output, no real WARNING/SUMMARY ThreadSanitizer
race report).
4. The ASan/UBSan step's retry budget was bumped from 3 to 5 after
observing a real 3-in-a-row flake exhaustion in practice during this
same verification work -- this sandbox's actual flake rate is
meaningfully higher than the "roughly 1 in 5-10" CONTRIBUTING.md
documents, and 3 retries turned out not to be a big enough margin.
5. Separately, the -Wunused-result warning on tests/test_crash_consistency.c's
write() call: the (void) cast that silenced it locally did not silence
it on the Gitea runner's gcc -- reproduced clean locally with the
exact same compiler flags, confirming this is a real toolchain
version/config difference, not a local misconfiguration. void-cast
suppression of warn_unused_result is documented as unreliable across
gcc configurations; fixed with an actual conditional branch on the
return value instead, which every gcc/clang version used so far
honors.
Every fix here was verified by direct reproduction under `bash -eo
pipefail` locally (matching Gitea Actions' actual shell invocation), not
reasoned about and assumed correct: the original -e bug was reproduced
and fixed, the TSan step was re-run 10 full-suite times (80 individual
binary executions) with both flake variants recurring and both correctly
classified as warnings rather than errors, and the ASan/UBSan step was
re-run 10 full-suite times with the 5-retry budget with zero false
failures. Also verified with a clean make all + make test locally
(zero warnings, all 8 binaries pass).
