What did you do?

Generate random struct types and random values for fuzz testing some serialization/de-serialization software.

I include the program in the <details> below.

The go.mod file only has this one dependency, for generating random values:

require github.com/google/gofuzz v0.0.0-20170612174753-24818f796faf
main.go example program 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"reflect"

	fuzz "github.com/google/gofuzz"
)

func main() {
	f := fuzz.
		NewWithSeed(1).
		MaxDepth(2).
		Funcs(
			func(t *T, c fuzz.Continue) {
				typ := randomStruct(c)
				fmt.Printf("%v\n", typ)
				dataPtr := reflect.New(typ)
				c.Fuzz(dataPtr.Interface())
				t.v = dataPtr.Elem().Interface()
			},
		)
	for i := 0; i < 102400; i++ {
		var t T
		f.Fuzz(&t)
	}
}

type T struct{ v interface{} }

func randomKind(c fuzz.Continue) reflect.Kind {

}

func randomKindScalar(c fuzz.Continue) reflect.Kind {

}

func randomStruct(c fuzz.Continue) reflect.Type {
	return randomType(reflect.Struct, c)
}

func randomType(k reflect.Kind, c fuzz.Continue) reflect.Type {
	if k == reflect.Invalid {
		if c.RandUint64()&0x3 == 0 {
			k = randomKindScalar(c)
		} else {
			k = randomKind(c)
		}
	}
	t, ok := types[k]
	if ok {
		return t
	}

	switch k {
	case reflect.Struct:

		for i := range fields {
			fields[i] = reflect.StructField{

What did you expect to see?

I expected that it should successfully generate random structure types filled with fields of random types (including nested structures, maps, etc).

What did you see instead?

The code does successfully generate random structures. It can run for quite a long time without issues. However, it also causes runtime crashes. I have chosen my variables to crash things quite quickly in the above example. The crashes manifest after generating 80-1000 structs for my given examples.

I found two different crashes by varying NewWithSeed(1) to NewWithSeed(2):

NewWithSeed(1) : panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference

panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference

Additional notes

  • This FIXME looks suspicious, since it is the site of the first crash in reflect.StructOf:

    go/src/reflect/type.go

    Lines 2683 to 2684 in a563f2f

    // FIXME(sbinet) handle padding, fields smaller than a word
    elemGC := (*[1 << 30]byte)(unsafe.Pointer(ft.typ.gcdata))[:]

  • I have tried reproducing the crash by choosing specific examples of random structs taken from just before the crash and calling reflect.New() on them repeatedly. This hasn't been fruitful for me so far, so I haven't been able to get an example crasher which runs without generating random structs.

  • Different types can be commented out in the var kinds to change what types get produced.

    • Various things work: {Ptr}, {Map}, {Slice} or {Struct} by themselves (with all scalar types except for complex) make it to >1M iterations without crashing. As do {Ptr, Struct}, {Ptr, String}, {Array, String}, {Ptr, Map, String}.
    • Once you've enabled ~four aggregate types it seems to reliably crash at a lower number of iterations (<100k).

The following is the shortest crash length I have found, crashing after only 4 structs are made:

I've built a simpler testcase and published it here: https://gist.github.com/pwaller/a99e3836293e23677ad08052263b293a - it's >200kB.

It eliminates the randomness. Trying to reduce it to a smaller program with goreduce, but noting my progress in case someone else is looking and/or I get sidetracked and fail at making something smaller.

Here is a 50 32-line reproducer with no dependencies.

Decreasing any of the array lengths by 1 or removing any field causes it to not crash.

package main

func main() {}

var typeUint64 = reflect.ValueOf(uint64(0)).Type()

var x = reflect.StructOf([]reflect.StructField{

Simplest crasher so far:

package main

import "reflect"

func main() {}

func typ(x interface{}) reflect.Type { return reflect.ValueOf(x).Type() }

var z = reflect.StructOf([]reflect.StructField{
	{Name: "F1", Type: reflect.ArrayOf(4, typ(uint64(0)))},
	{Name: "F5", Type: reflect.ArrayOf(2,
		typ(
			struct {
				F1 []uint64
				F8 [8192 - 3 + 1]uint64
			}{},
		)),
	},
})

If I remove the +1 from the array size, it works. The -3 represents the size of the []uint64. Haven't been able to remove anything else or reduce any outer constants any further so far.

The effect of changing the array size is to go from this branch:

go/src/reflect/type.go

Lines 2883 to 2886 in 178a2c4

case typ.kind&kindGCProg == 0 && array.size <= maxPtrmaskBytes*8*ptrSize:
// Element is small with pointer mask; array is still small.
// Create direct pointer mask by turning each 1 bit in elem
// into count 1 bits in larger mask.

to this branch:

go/src/reflect/type.go

Lines 2900 to 2906 in 178a2c4

default:
// Create program that emits one element
// and then repeats to make the array.
prog := []byte{0, 0, 0, 0} // will be length of prog
elemGC := (*[1 << 30]byte)(unsafe.Pointer(typ.gcdata))[:]
elemPtrs := typ.ptrdata / ptrSize
if typ.kind&kindGCProg == 0 {

I am guessing that there may be a bug in the latter program generation, and this bug may get lucky and not crash, except in circumstances that happen to be exercised in the minimal reproducer.

The following patch appears to cure the segfault, which is because ft.typ.gcdata is nil. This is nil because hasGCProg is set because F8 has a gcprog. However, F1 does not and so when it is considered, ft.typ.gcdata is nil, which results in a nil dereference.

What I haven't yet understood is why the crash ceases in the minimal reproducer if you change the array constants, e.g. {Name: "F1", Type: reflect.ArrayOf(3, typ(uint64(0)))},. In that case I would still expect it be structurally the same and crash in the same way, but apparently it does not.

The heapBitsSetTypeGCProg runtime panic (NewWithSeed(2)) is still present even with the above patch. Here's a minimal reproducer:

(Edit: made reproducer smaller. Note that 5472*sizeof(slice) =16386.)

package main

import "reflect"

func main() {}

func typ(x interface{}) reflect.Type { return reflect.ValueOf(x).Type() }

var x = reflect.New(reflect.StructOf([]reflect.StructField{
	{Name: "F5", Type: reflect.StructOf([]reflect.StructField{
		{Name: "F4", Type: reflect.ArrayOf(5462,
			reflect.SliceOf(typ(uint64(0))))},
	})},
}))

@sbinet This smells like a bug in the code that generates GC programs in reflect.StructOf.

The size is just big enough to force a GC program in the reflect.ArrayOf call. That forces the reflect.StructOf call to also use a GC program.

Looks like a missing stop mark at the end. That is ok by itself, but when incorporating a program in another program the code drops the last byte, and if the last byte isn't a stop mark then we throw away part of the program we actually need.

Looks like this bug has existed since StructOf was introduced in 1.7. I don't think it is worth backporting.

Counter argument though, by omitting the last byte of the program we're potentially using a random byte in the heap for the last byte, which could lead to arbitrarily weird things happening in the GC. It would be unlikely - the program (without the last byte) would have to be exactly the size of a sizeclass to have the missing byte be nonzero.
