runtime: Go randomly crashes on Windows with no stack trace, just "unknown pc" and memory/registry dump #40878

jasontconnell · 2020-08-19T01:35:16Z

What version of Go are you using (`go version`)?

$ go version
go version go1.14.3 windows/amd64

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (`go env`)?

OS is Windows 10 Pro 10.0.18362

What did you do?

I don't think the code matters. It has crashed with multiple different programs. But here's an example. It's more in the "running it repeatedly" that breaks it. I've tested it on Go 1.13 and it runs fine. The earliest version that I've tried that showed the error was Go 1.14.3 as displayed in the version section of this post. It is reproducible on Go 1.15 as well.

So my manager was reporting a crash, a memory dump. I wasn't able to reproduce it locally. But then I wrote the simple program

https://play.golang.org/p/KMabbeiz1hW

And a powershell script

For ($i = 0; $i -lt 100; $i++) {
Write-Host $i
.\chashprms "$i is the value"
}

Run go build and run.ps1.

What did you expect to see?

If I run the same code in Docker using the golang:1.15 image, it runs fine. Runs through 100 instances and always prints out the hash. I would expect to see 100 hashes printed. In Go 1.13 it works fine (the latest I tested where it works).

What did you see instead?

In Go 1.14.3 (the earliest that I tested where it crashes), I see a memory and registry dump after a few calls:

We are a Windows shop and do .NET dev and these tools I wrote help with that, I would love to be able to keep them in Go :D For now I have to revert them to 1.13ish but I'll be watching this closely. I am available and on the Gopher slack, if you need more information I'll be happy to provide.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

davecheney · 2020-08-19T01:44:42Z

Is there any anti virus software running on that machine that may be modifying or interposing on your actions?

jasontconnell · 2020-08-19T01:47:58Z

Yes we apparently run "WebRoot SecureAnywhere Endpoint Protection v9.0.28.48". I had wondered that but Go 1.13 was fine so I failed to mention.

davecheney · 2020-08-19T01:49:10Z

Are you able to confirm if the problem occurs when "WebRoot SecureAnywhere Endpoint Protection v9.0.28.48" is uninstalled or disabled?

jasontconnell · 2020-08-19T01:51:16Z

I am unable to modify the settings but the real time protection is not enabled. I can try running it on another computer that isn't work controlled.

My home computer is windows 10 pro but a different build. When i ran that with 1.15 it ran fine! So you're on to something @davecheney but I'm updating windows at the moment and will run again when they're the same version.

Edit: this is taking forever. I'll have an update tomorrow.

jasontconnell · 2020-08-19T02:58:00Z

Home PC Update: It's updated but not the same exact build number. Still runs fine in 1.15.

I have BitDefender on my home PC but that's apparently much better behaved, if an AV is to blame. It may be partially, but I can't say 100% since it works fine in 1.13.

Please try running your program with the environment variable GODEBUG=asyncpreemptoff=1.

Please try running your program with the environment variable GODEBUG=asyncpreemptoff=1.

I had problem that was affected by this - #36492 - but I don't see crashes, I see hangs. But, still, you could try, it won't help.

Alex

Very in depth issue! Yeah, unless I'm doing it wrong (possible) @ianlancetaylor the ascyncpreemptoff=1 setting didn't alleviate the crash. I failed to mention that it also hangs and I can't ctrl+c out of it, I have to close the powershell window.

I've now run it in Go 1.13.15 and it runs perfectly. According to webroot the version of the software we're running was released on May 13 of this year, but I don't know when it was installed. This only just started happening this week, and I was running 1.14+ since Feb 26.

I have a question out to IT about when the webroot update might have been pushed, I will edit this comment with pertinent info when I get a response.

Edit: This lines up with when the issues started happening. I can uninstall webroot after talking to IT. I will do that soon.

jasontconnell · 2020-08-19T21:58:44Z

AV Update: Was able to uninstall Webroot (IT granted me test permissions to remove it temporarily). Of course it runs fine.

Webroot was also causing issues compiling more than once with version 1.13.15. That update 1.1.226 in the screenshot above is most likely to blame, since I don't remember any issues (that weren't pebcak errors) before this week.

We are going to reinstall it and try to allow-list some paths where I and other devs typically use Go programs. That will not be tonight though. I'll be back.

alexbrainman · 2020-08-20T07:22:25Z

... But, still, you could try, it won't help.

I was meant to say "But, still, you could try, it won't hurt.". Sorry for confusion.

AV Update: Was able to uninstall Webroot (IT granted me test permissions to remove it temporarily). Of course it runs fine.

Looks like you are wining your battles.

Alex

jasontconnell · 2020-08-20T16:22:57Z

So... I'm not sure if this will require further digging. At least from my end. With the help of IT we re-installed webroot. It has the same Core update from a screenshot earlier that I was pretty sure would have been causing the issue. It seems to behave much better now even with 1.15, with the same program linked earlier, spitting out 100 hashes.

IT's thinking is that I didn't get the latest definitions or something. We don't have real time protection turned on so it just shouldn't have an effect either way. I am clueless as to a possible cause, yet it was consistently "randomly" reproducible.

So I'm currently not able to reproduce the originally reported issue. I've saved this issue so that if it happens again, and this is closed, I'll reference it. I hope it's just done though. I won't close it but someone on the Go team can if deemed appropriate.

Thanks for the help, I effing love Go :)

jasontconnell · 2020-08-20T17:55:28Z

Hold the phone, it's happening again. Bombarded with other stuff right now. It was fine until I logged back on to our VPN, I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it, probably coincidence.

bhperry · 2020-09-05T21:01:40Z

I am having very similar issues. Also running WebRoot, but shutting it down doesn't seem to affect anything. Originally thought it was a problem with my cgo setup, but now I've been testing with a super basic program that just prints a character and then exits. Sometimes it works, sometimes it hits the runtime: unknown pc error and hangs.

I've been developing on WSL with an X server to run a game, but I'd really like to just get it compiling natively on windows. I've tried cross-compiling as well from WSL, and get similar results. Sometimes the build works, other times it does not (with zero code changes)

Running go version 1.15.1 amd64 right now. Tried 1.13.15 and 1.14.8, but neither of those worked. 1.13 actually didn't really work at all, couldn't even run go env without it crashing.

networkimprov · 2020-09-05T23:30:27Z

Another report of this: #41138

bhperry · 2020-09-06T04:17:26Z

Ok here's something strange. I noticed that an exe I had cross-compiled (and wasn't working) suddenly started working just fine. So I started time stamping builds and saving all of them. They mostly crash when I build them. But when I go back and run them later (an hour or so, but doesn't seem to be consistent), all the sudden they work.

networkimprov · 2020-09-06T17:09:46Z

try this and post its output (assuming the Windows command prompt)

Ben, that looks like a different problem from the one originally posted here. Can you file a new issue, and include:

a complete program that produces the error
the logs you posted above

EDIT: also try it with this env var: GODEBUG=asyncpreemptoff=1

bhperry · 2020-09-06T20:14:04Z

with GODEBUG=asyncpreemptoff=1 I'm just getting the stack dump (same whether or not GOTRACEBACK is set, not sure if that matters)

Running a super simple program, GOTRACEBACK and GODEBUG don't seem to make a difference. It also fails more inconsistently than a program using cgo, but still fairly regularly

Code

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
  fmt.Println("s")
}

Crash

Is that more related to this issue? Happy to open a new one if you think I should.

Hopefully we'll get some pointers from the runtime team on investigating these reports...

We have confirmation in #41138 that Webroot causes problems for Go. Uninstalling Webroot is a solution.

EDIT: If that fixes your problems, could you retitle the issue to identify Webroot?

bhperry · 2020-09-09T19:59:20Z

Well that's annoying. I tried turning off webroot protection and it still had the problem, but I didn't notice that webroot still has some background processes up even when it is "off".

I've suspected webroot of doing other crummy things in the past too (like slowing down my old laptop to the point where it was basically useless after the license expired). Guess it's time to find a different AV.

I'll try uninstalling and see what happens.

bhperry · 2020-09-10T00:38:14Z

wow... uninstalled Webroot and now everything works perfectly. Thanks for the help!

davecheney · 2020-09-10T00:55:09Z

Thanks for confirming.

jasontconnell · 2021-02-03T02:34:19Z

Apologies! Yeah our IT team allowed me an exception on webroot. Now we're in a transition to sophos. Hopefully that one behaves better. I've had 1.13 installed in a c:\go-lock folder and have been building my programs that get distributed to other team members since then with that version. I haven't heard any issues since. So, confirming a few months later that uninstalling webroot fixed my issue.

Holy fucking shit... I have web root as well and I was going crazy. I upgraded from 1.15 to 1.16 and it failed after installing the whole OS.

I've just turned off webroot and it compiles. OMG I was going nuts.

bhperry · 2021-02-23T16:35:49Z

I know the feels

jasontconnell · 2021-03-04T23:41:06Z

Months later follow up part 2. We've switched over to Sophos for our AV. After much revolt by the whole dev team due to performance issues, and it deleting apps I've written in Go, I am able to confirm no issues with Go 1.16 and Sophos. Glad you found this @jimitheat and for @davecheney thinking it could be AV.

Man I hate AV, at the beginning of our Sophos conversion last week, it was scanning every executable before it allowed it to execute, so saving a file in VS Code took like 5-6 seconds since it's doing gofmt and the linting and all that. Brutal.

JacomusP · 2021-03-22T18:15:27Z

@jasontconnell Hey do you have any other AV suggestions other than Sophos? Or does anybody else have some suggestions?

alexbrainman · 2021-03-23T07:00:03Z

Hey do you have any other AV suggestions other than Sophos? Or does anybody else have some suggestions?

I use Microsoft Defender. Every copy of Windows 10 come with this antivirus preinstalled. IMHO Microsoft Defender is the least painful antivirus to use.

Still I disable the antivirus when developing. Makes my computer run quicker.
