[Bug 1471029] Re: Segfault in xsltproc on i386
OK, so sampling the last two lines of the process map every 0.2 seconds:
start:
b772c000-b772e000 rw-p 00005000 fd:01 67267 /usr/bin/xsltproc
bfe83000-bfea4000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack]
0.2s
b7894000-b849e000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap]
bfe83000-bfea4000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack]
0.4s
b7894000-b90d5000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap]
bfe83000-bfea4000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack]
The heap starts to squeeze the stack for room. When they are separated
by 64k, the heap takes over the stacks naming rights, and the sizes are
fixed:
3.6s
b7894000-bfe32000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap]
bfe4c000-bfea4000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack]
3.8s
b7894000-bfe32000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap]
bfe3d000-bfea4000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack]
4.0s
b7894000-bfe32000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap]
bfe33000-bfea4000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap]
4.2s
b7894000-bfe32000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap]
bfe33000-bfea4000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap]
The stack is fixed in size from here on in, so it is only a matter of
luck and time.
20.6s
b7894000-bfe32000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap]
bfe33000-bfea4000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap]
20.8s
b7894000-bfe32000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap]
bfe33000-bfea4000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap]
post-mortum:
b7894000-bfe32000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap]
bfe33000-bfea4000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap]
Why? I don't know.

Title:
Segfault in xsltproc on i386
Status in libxml2 package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Running the Samba autobuild tests on a 15.04 openstack image results
in a segfault in this command:
/usr/bin/xsltproc --nonet -o default/docs-xml/manpages/smb.conf.5
/home/ubuntu/autobuild/b22271/samba/docs-xml/xslt/man.xsl default
/docs-xml/manpages/smb.conf.5.xml
I reported this upstream as a bug in xsltproc, but it was found to be
impossible to reproduce using upstream source on the openstack
instance:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=751764
Comment 8 (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=751764#c8) is
particularly informative.
The stack trace below shows the segfault actually occurs in libxml's
xpath evaluation functions. I see no difference between xpath.c in
upstream 2.9.2 and Ubuntu's version.
