Description Roman Žilka 2013-01-24 09:37:15 UTC
When compiled with USE="javascript" elinks freezes upon startup, no matter which site I'm trying to open (even none). Default config files. That's sad - js support is such a nice thing about elinks. According to strace, it's caught in some kind of endless mmap->munmap loop. Compiled with no CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS/MAKEOPTS. Problems persists even if compiled with all USE flags except "javascript" turned off.

Elinks runs OK with js support when compiled against spidermonkey-1.8.7-r3, but that's currently hardmasked. Spidermonkey-1.8.5-r4 - the latest ~amd64 - doesn't do the job.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=798103 seems to have found a solution to this issue, but their patch makes no difference on my system.

I also tried spidermonkey-1.8.5-r1 and elinks-0.13-20130124 (latest experimental from official git), but the problem remains the same. The config was:
./configure --disable-leds --disable-88-colors --disable-256-colors --disable-true-color --disable-html-highlight --without-gpm --without-zlib --without-bzlib --without-x --without-lua --without-guile --without-perl --without-ruby --without-idn --with-spidermonkey --disable-bittorrent --disable-nls --disable-ipv6 --disable-ftp --disable-gopher --disable-nntp --disable-finger --disable-smb --disable-mouse --disable-fastmem --without-openssl --without-gnutls

Is the reason for spidermonkey-1.8.7 being hardmasked still valid?

I use the hardened kernel sources, but there are no log reports from grsec about app blockages. Also, elinks used to run fine for me about a year ago (with then latest stable gentoo elinks and spidermonkey pkgs) with grsec.

Reproducible: Always

USE="X bzip2 ftp idn javascript mouse (multilib) nls ssl unicode zlib -bittorrent -debug -finger -gopher -gpm -guile -ipv6 -lua -nntp -perl -ruby -samba"

Comment 1 Roman Žilka 2013-01-24 10:11:14 UTC
By the way, elinks-0.11.7 works with javascript. It pulls in spidermonkey-1.7.0.

dev-lang/spidermonkey-1.7.0: "(multilib) -threadsafe"
www-client/elinks-0.11.7: "X bzip2 ftp idn javascript (multilib) nls ssl unicode zlib -bittorrent -debug -finger -gopher -gpm -guile -ipv6 -lua -nntp -perl -ruby"
Comment 2 Roman Žilka 2013-02-01 11:12:46 UTC
FWIW, on x86 elinks-0.12_pre5-r2 works OK even with javascript and spidermonkey-1.8.5-r1.
Comment 3 Sergey Popov gentoo-dev 2013-08-24 19:51:12 UTC
Can not reproduce this with current version of elinks too. Marking this OBSOLETE

(In reply to Sergey Popov from comment #3)

> OBSOLETE

The version of elinks in Portage hasn't changed - 0.12_pre5-r2. Are you not testing elinks from another repo? 0.12_pre5-r2 still freezes on my amd64 hardened (does not on x86 default).

By the way, the test phase of spidermonkey-1.8.5-r4 freezes as well - maybe it's the same catch.
Comment 5 Ian Stakenvicius (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-08-29 20:45:46 UTC
Works for me -- both _pre5-r2 and _pre6 run fine (no freezes at all, and javascript content works).

I did the porting in elinks to spidermonkey-1.8.5 (and also have patches here to support 1.8.7, but that's going to be removed from the tree soon so I never committed them).  My install of spidermonkey and elinks are default, and i tested using the USE flags you had set as well.

pre6 does contain a couple of upstream fixes that related to hangs or crashes, perhaps your system for whatever reason is triggering those?
Comment 6 Roman Žilka 2013-08-31 15:30:02 UTC
I tried pre6, but the freeze is still there.

I recently ran the test phase of spidermonkey and that hangs on me as well. Right at the beginning. The catch seems to lie there. Spidermonkey 1.8.7 is OK. I don't currently have the time to make an attempt at the spidermonkey bug. But perhaps 1.8.7 can be stabilized...?
Comment 7 fssirc 2013-09-30 17:25:17 UTC
I also use hardened kernel sources and have the same problem. If the USE="javascript" flag is set, elinks-0.12_pre6 gives the message ``segmentation fault'' and stops working with the following message in the logs:

elinks[19390]: segfault at 10 ip 000002d631458f47 sp 0000039f81211d90 error 4
in libpthread-2.15.so[2d63144e000+18000]

I had to add these lines in /etc/portage/package.mask in order for elinks to work:

=www-client/elinks-0.12_pre6
=www-client/elinks-0.12_pre5-r2

The version 0.11.7, which requires dev-lang/spidermonkey-1.7.0, compiles normally on my system.
