Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2015-09-11 20:54:45 UTC
please show the exact command you ran to get that gdb output.  the perl test runner will re-exec itself via /bin/sh which then runs perl (but with modified env).  it's a bit of a rats nest.
Comment 2 Andreas K. Hüttel archtester gentoo-dev 2015-12-12 12:28:11 UTC
Well the tests dump a couple of core files... so loading these with f.ex.
gdb /usr/bin/perl -core '/corefiles/core.perl!eio.954'
and running backtrace. 

Here is the full set for all 4 core files:
["Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden" = "File or directory not found"]

Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2015-12-23 05:37:04 UTC
this is because the libeio code creates threads with "small" stacks -- it defaults to 32k on 64bit systems and 16k on 32bit systems.  when the sandbox code runs, it often uses buffers on the stack to hold paths that it's resolving, and those tend to be ~1k or so per buffer.  unlike the main thread whose stack can grow dynamically (and "forever"), thread stacks are static ... once you blow those, you're dead.

in this case, sandbox is blowing the stack and the code segfaults.  if i build the IO-AIO module by hand (because perl is buggy -- see bug 569266) using CPPFLAGS like -DX_STACKSIZE=0x10000 (65k), then the tests pass fine inside the sandbox.

i would just leave the tests disabled and add a comment referring to this bug.  i could try to trim down the stack usage a bit, but in the end, sandbox is going to require a good amount of stack space to operate -- moving from stack buffers to malloc is not a silver bullet as now i need to add a lot of malloc/free calls which means a lot of memory thrashing because sandbox itself has to get memory directly from the kernel via mmap (since some apps like to override malloc).

an out-of-process sandbox would address this, and maybe someday we'll get there (via the ptrace logic i already have in place).  but that day isn't soon.
