We went to great lengths to ensure garble builds are reproducible. This includes how the tool itself works, as its behavior should be the same given the same inputs. However, we made one crucial mistake with the runtime package. It has go:linkname directives pointing at other packages, and some of those pointed packages aren't its dependencies. Imagine two scenarios where garble builds the runtime package: 1) We run "garble build runtime". The way we handle linkname directives calls listPackage on the target package, to obfuscate the target's import path and object name. However, since we only obtained build info of runtime and its deps, calls for some linknames such as listPackage("sync/atomic") will fail. The linkname directive will leave its target untouched. 2) We run "garble build std". Unlike the first scenario, all listPackage calls issued by runtime's linkname directives will succeed, so its linkname directive targets will be obfuscated. At best, this can result in inconsistent builds, depending on how the runtime package was built. At worst, the mismatching object names can result in errors at link time, if the target packages are actually used. The modified test reproduces the worst case scenario reliably, when the fix is reverted: > env GOCACHE=${WORK}/gocache-empty > garble build -a runtime > garble build -o=out_rebuild ./stdimporter [stderr] # test/main/stdimporter JZzQivnl.NtQJu0H3: relocation target JZzQivnl.iioHinYT not defined JZzQivnl.NtQJu0H3.func9: relocation target JZzQivnl.yz5z0NaH not defined JZzQivnl.(*ypvqhKiQ).String: relocation target JZzQivnl.eVciBQeI not defined JZzQivnl.(*ypvqhKiQ).PkgPath: relocation target JZzQivnl.eVciBQeI not defined [...] The fix consists of two steps. First, if we're building the runtime and listPackage fails on a package, that means we ran into scenario 1 above. To avoid the inconsistency, we fill ListedPackages with "go list [...] std". This means we'll always build runtime as described in scenario 2 above. Second, when building packages other than the runtime, we only allow listPackage to succeed if we're listing a dependency of the current package. This ensures we won't run into similar reproducibility bugs in the future. Finally, re-enable test-gotip on CI since this was the last test flake. |
