Changeset 1fa1745 introduced a stack walking regression where we will crash trying to unwind/report registers. The real fix here is in cgenamd64.cpp/excep.cpp, which will point the context to a local copy before we try to use it.

I've also added some changes in gcinfodecoder.cpp that aren't strictly necessary but would have avoided the problem to begin with.

Fixes#124401.

Pull request overview

This pull request fixes a critical crash that occurs when debuggers walk callstack roots on Linux amd64 coredumps. The root cause is that context pointers in DAC (Data Access Component) builds resolve through a cache that can evict entries before the pointers are consumed, leading to invalid memory access.

Changes:

  • Fixed AMD64 FaultingExceptionFrame to use local context pointers in DAC builds instead of frame member references
  • Extended SoftwareExceptionFrame context pointer fix from X86-only to all architectures
  • Added defensive checks in GC info decoder to use captured register values in DAC scenarios across all architectures

Changeset 1fa1745 introduced a stack walking regression where we will crash trying to unwind/report registers. The real fix here is in cgenamd64.cpp/excep.cpp, which will point the context to a local copy before we try to use it.

I've also added some changes in gcinfodecoder.cpp that aren't strictly necessary but would have avoided the problem to begin with.

Fixes#124401.

Pull request overview

This pull request fixes a critical crash that occurs when debuggers walk callstack roots on Linux amd64 coredumps. The root cause is that context pointers in DAC (Data Access Component) builds resolve through a cache that can evict entries before the pointers are consumed, leading to invalid memory access.

Changes:

  • Fixed AMD64 FaultingExceptionFrame to use local context pointers in DAC builds instead of frame member references
  • Extended SoftwareExceptionFrame context pointer fix from X86-only to all architectures
  • Added defensive checks in GC info decoder to use captured register values in DAC scenarios across all architectures

Changeset
dotnet@1fa1745
introduced a stack walking regression where we will crash trying to
unwind/report registers. The real fix here is in
cgenamd64.cpp/excep.cpp, which will point the context to a local copy
before we try to use it.
I've also added some changes in gcinfodecoder.cpp that aren't strictly
necessary but would have avoided the problem to begin with.
Fixesdotnet#124401.
