I first saw this bug when trying to use the vm86 system call with pthreads. I
worked around this by not using pthreads in the same application. The problem
was that I think the vm86 system call would segfault on return whenever pthreads
was explicitly compiled in, but I"m not sure exactly when the segfault occured.
I strongly suspect this is closely related to the following bug report.
Now I have re-encountered this bug in a slightly different way. Even though I
don't use pthreads, it looks like glibc does, and I'm having a similar problem.
This is on gentoo with what they call glibc-2.3.4.20041102, this DOES NOT happen
with glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1 so it seems like something recent started to cause
this.
After a single call to the vm86 system call, then next subsequent call to printf
causes a segfault. Here is the backtrace:
#0 0x405dfcc3 in _pthread_cleanup_push_defer (buffer=0xbfffedd4, routine=0,
arg=0x0) at cancel.c:181
#1 0x40668b9e in _IO_vfprintf (s=0x407447c0, format=0x804e2a0 "debug> ",
ap=0xbffff204 "\001") at vfprintf.c:1272
#2 0x406714e0 in printf (format=0x0) at printf.c:34
#3 0x08049229 in debug_image () at debugger.cpp:81
#4 0x08048f9e in main (argc=1, argv=0x0) at main.cpp:43
Frames 3 and 4 are my program.
The exact line in _pthreads_cleanup_push_defer that it breaks on is:
"buffer->__canceltype = THREAD_GETMEM(self, p_canceltype);"
I'll try to debug this if I can, but I don't know how much I can figure out. I
can't even see right now how the code execution goes from _IO_vfprintf to
_pthreads_cleanup_push_defer.
I hope this is enough information. Let me know if you want more.
