            Bug ID: 112408
           Summary: [12/13/14 regression] d21 loops in getCpuInfo0B in
                    Solaris/x86 kernel zone
           Product: gcc
           Version: 14.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: d
          Assignee: ibuclaw at gdcproject dot org
          Reporter: ro at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---
              Host: i386-pc-solaris2.11, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
            Target: i386-pc-solaris2.11, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
             Build: i386-pc-solaris2.11, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

While preparing GCC builds for a new Solaris 11.4/x86 GCC CFarm system, I
re-ran
into an issue with D programs looping inside a Solaris kernel zone (a VM),
while
the same binaries work fine on bare metal.

I've now managed to root-cause the issue.  When bootstrapping e.g. GCC 13 with
GCC 9.5.0 or 11.4.0, configuring libphobos in stage 1 loops.  This can be
reproduced with

$ cat conftest.d
module object;


extern(C) int main() {
  return 0;
}
$ d21 conftest.d

which loops indefinitely.  d21 show the following stacktrace:

Thread 2 received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.

Running getCpuInfo0B side-by-side in the kernel zone and on bare metal shows:

                        kernel zone     bare metal

  level 0

  a                     0               1
  b                     1               2

  level 1

  a                     0               5
  b                     1               28

  level 2

  a                     0               0
  b                     1               0

and so on for each higher level.  So inside a kernel zone, a!=0 || b!=0 remains
true, explaining the loop.

If I'm reading the spec (Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures
Software Developer’s Manual, Combined Volumes: 1, 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 3A, 3B,
3C, 3D, and 4, Order Number: 325462-081US, September 2023, Vol. 2A,
3-225, p.821) correctly, this is a bug in the kernel zone software:

A sub-leaf returning an invalid domain always returns 0 in EAX and EBX.

OTOH I don't see why getCpuInfo0B needs to loop here since it's only interested
in levels 0 and 1 anyway.

This affects all DMD-based versions of GDC, while the previous C++-based
versions
are fine.
