From d95ebe4a2308ec40dcd6bc8893b28c76175220d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: HASUMI Hitoshi Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 16:00:41 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] Fix stack extension bug causing HardFault This patch fixes a bug in the stack extension logic that could cause a HardFault on certain configurations when the stack is reallocated to a new address. ## Background When the mruby VM's stack runs out, stack_extend_alloc() calls mrb_realloc to grow it. If reallocation moves the block to a new address, envadjust() adjusts all ci->stack pointers to point into the new allocation. ## The bug The bug happened under the configuration below: - MRB_INT64 on MRB_32BIT (`sizeof(mrb_value) == 16` because MRB_NO_BOXING is now mandatory) - Allocator with 8-byte alignment (eg. PICORB_ALLOC_ALIGN=8 in PicoRuby for Raspi Pico) The delta was computed via mrb_value* pointer subtraction: ```c ptrdiff_t delta = newbase - oldbase; // units of sizeof(mrb_value) ``` If : - Old address: 0x2004c508 - New address: 0x2004c510 (8-byte difference) The pointer subtraction truncated: 8 / 16 = 0. envadjust() was misleaded as `delta == 0` and returned early without adjusting any ci->stack pointers. The stbase was updated to the new address, but all stack pointers still pointed 8 bytes before it. Every register access was shifted, reading garbage, ultimately causing a HardFault. ## The fix Byte-level char* calculation instead of mrb_value* calculation: ```c ptrdiff_t off = (char*)newbase - (char*)oldbase; // ... ci->stack = (mrb_value*)((char*)ci->stack + off); ``` This ensures the adjustment is exact regardless of sizeof(mrb_value) and allocator alignment. --- src/vm.c | 20 +++++++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/vm.c b/src/vm.c index a1f272a52..96d9266d8 100644 --- a/src/vm.c +++ b/src/vm.c @@ -134,19 +134,29 @@ static inline void envadjust(mrb_state *mrb, mrb_value *oldbase, mrb_value *newbase) { mrb_callinfo *ci = mrb->c->cibase; - ptrdiff_t delta = newbase - oldbase; + /* + * Byte-level calculation to avoid truncation when allocator alignment is + * smaller than sizeof(mrb_value). + * eg: MRB_NO_BOXING + MRB_INT64 with MRB_32BIT => sizeof(mrb_value)=16 + * And when memory allocator's alignment is 8 bytes + * Pointer subtraction on mrb_value* would truncate (8/16 -> 0). + * So, we use char* for pointer calculation to get the correct offset in bytes, + * then apply that offset to mrb_value* pointers. + */ + ptrdiff_t off = (char *)newbase - (char *)oldbase; - if (delta == 0) return; + if (off == 0) return; while (ci <= mrb->c->ci) { struct REnv *e = mrb_vm_ci_env(ci); + mrb_value *new_stack = (mrb_value *)((char *)ci->stack + off); + if (e) { mrb_assert(e->cxt == mrb->c && MRB_ENV_ONSTACK_P(e)); mrb_assert(e->stack == ci->stack); - - e->stack += delta; + e->stack = new_stack; } - ci->stack += delta; + ci->stack = new_stack; ci++; } }
