mod_perl always segfault on thread creation

hi,

This is totally frustrating. My mod_perl script always causes segmentation fault when it tries to create a thread. I searched the Web and this forum, but there is still no definitive answers. My perl and mod_perl are of pretty recent versions and I check for the inclusion of useithreads config. I wrote a simple script to prove it:

use CGI;
use threads;
use Config;
use mod_perl;

our $LOGGER;
BEGIN {
    $LOGGER = Apache2::ServerUtil->server->log;
    $LOGGER->error("testhread starting (CGI version ".CGI->version.")");
}

my $q       = CGI->new;
my $check = defined $Config{useithreads};
$LOGGER->error("useithread? $check");
my $v = mod_perl->VERSION;
$LOGGER->error("version $v");

    my $thr = threads->create(sub { }); # comment out these two lines will work
    $thr->join(); # already crashed at the line above

$q->header(-status => '200 OK');

It produces logs

Aug 20 13:07:50 (4216) [error] testhread starting (CGI version 3.51)
Aug 20 13:07:50 (4216) [error] useithread? 1
Aug 20 13:07:50 (4216) [error] version 2.000004
Aug 20 13:07:51 (4159) [notice] child pid 4216 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

Any way I can solve this?

Thanks!

OK, so it sounds like you are doing a dynamic build of mod_perl.  Really 
the only wisdom I have to offer here is *not* to do a static build, but it 
seems you are already not doing that.

RE: mod_perl always segfault on thread creation

Posted by hack bear <ha...@hotmail.com>.
I'm confused. from Dayam Ivano's reply in this thread, he shows perl *and* mod_perl builds dynalically linked to libperl.so.

> http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/install/install.html#Dynamic_mod_perl

That's exactly how I configure the mod_perl

perl Makefile.PL MP_APXS=/usr/sbin/apxs

The static one would require passing another option that I didn't even aware of.

RE: mod_perl always segfault on thread creation

Posted by Doug Hunt <dh...@ucar.edu>.
Hi hack bear:  When I speak of dynamic or static mod_perl builds, I mean 
the apache and mod_perl part, not the perl part.  All my apache/mod_perl 
builds link perl in statically, using libperl.a.

The two different recipes are found here:

http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/install/install.html#Dynamic_mod_perl

and here:

http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/install/install.html#Static_mod_perl

I had been doing static builds (in which you unpack both apache and 
mod_perl distributions and compile them together) for years now, but this 
time I could not get it to work at all, even after some months of trying. 
It took me a couple of weeks and some ugly patches to the mod_perl source 
to get it to compile at all, but the resulting executable suffered from
random, flakey segfaults.

I finally switched to the dynamic build (in which you compile and install 
apache and then compile mod_perl separately) and this worked right away.

My opinion is that static builds in my environment (CentOS 6.3, 
x86_64, Apache 2.2.22, mod_perl 2.0.8 and perl 5.16.1) is simply broken.

The way to tell a static mod_perl/httpd build is that if you run:

$ nm /path/to/httpd | grep modperl

you will see many matches.  For a dynamic build, there will be no matches.

RE: mod_perl always segfault on thread creation

Posted by hack bear <ha...@hotmail.com>.
What exactly is the right way to build a shared-lib perl. I tried to follow the INSTALL instruction and many variations to get it work but still to no avail. For example I tried

# make clean
# CFLAGS='-m64 -mtune=nocona' ./Configure -Dinstallusrbinperl -Dusethreads -Duseithreads -Duseshrplib -Dprefix=/usr -es -A ccflags="-fPIC -m64 -mtune=nocona " -A ldflags="-Duseshrplib" -A define:useshrplib -A define:usethreads -A define:useithreads -A define:installusrbinperl
# make

Only the libperl.a is built
# find . -name 'libperl*'
./libperl.a

And perl -V shows
  ...
  Linker and Libraries:
    ld='cc', ldflags =' -fstack-protector -L/usr/local/lib'
    libpth=/usr/local/lib /lib/../lib64 /usr/lib/../lib64 /lib /usr/lib /lib64 /usr/lib64 /usr/local/lib64
    libs=-lnsl -ldb -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lpthread -lc
    perllibs=-lnsl -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lpthread -lc
    libc=, so=so, useshrplib=false, libperl=libperl.a
    gnulibc_version='2.12'
  Dynamic Linking:
    dlsrc=dl_dlopen.xs, dlext=so, d_dlsymun=undef, ccdlflags='-Wl,-E'
    cccdlflags='-fPIC', lddlflags='-shared -O2 -L/usr/local/lib -fstack-protector'

And BTW is there any existing RPM for RHEL that is dynamic build already?

To me this seems like a static build. Yes, it links dynamicly to 
system libraries, but the perl library is staticly linked. Compare 
with ldd output on a stock Debian system below:

        libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f3bfb5f7000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f3bfb3db000)

        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f3bfc065000)

The difference is in the presence of libperl.so.5.14 in the output.

Good luck,

RE: mod_perl always segfault on thread creation

Posted by Doug Hunt <dh...@ucar.edu>.
Hi Rommel:  Are you building statically or dynamically?  I had a problem 
with segfaulting mod_perl, the solution for which eluded me for a long 
time.  I had been doing a static apache/mod_perl build on CentOS 6.3 
(similar to RedHat Enterprise 6.3).

I finally cured the problem by just doing a dynamic build instead.  From 
what I can tell, static builds in my environment (x86_64, CentOS 6.3, perl 
5.16.1) are pretty well broken.  The dynamic build went just fine.

Just a thought...

RE: mod_perl always segfault on thread creation

Posted by hack bear <ha...@hotmail.com>.
Thanks but the trick doesn't seem to help.

First the instruction seems wrong. With it, the resulting perl executable does not even have useithreads defined.

Then I try

CFLAGS='-m64 -mtune=nocona' ./Configure -Dinstallusrbinperl -Dusethreads -Duseithreads -Dprefix=/usr -des -A ccflags="-fPIC -m64 -mtune=nocona "

Now I get a perl with useithread and -mtune=nocona (versus -mtune=generic)

Then I install the perl build, build mod_perl and install. Verify I'm using the new versions in apache. But still the script produces segfault consistently.

Did people ever get threads to work in mod_perl/apache/redhat enterprise linux 6? May someone send the "perl -V" output. This basic feature should work out of box on any environment.

Hi,
 
You could try some options for configuring Perl given here:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/install/install.pod.orig
 
specially:
% CFLAGS='-m64 -mtune=nocona' ./Configure -des -A ccflags=-fPIC
 
Before doing a make.
 
Thanks,
Rommel.

Subject: mod_perl always segfault on thread creation


 

hi,



This is totally frustrating. My mod_perl script always causes segmentation fault when it tries to create a thread. I searched the Web and this forum, but there is still no definitive answers. My perl and mod_perl are of pretty recent versions and I check for
 the inclusion of useithreads config. I wrote a simple script to prove it:



use CGI;

use threads;

use Config;

use mod_perl;



our $LOGGER;

BEGIN {

    $LOGGER = Apache2::ServerUtil->server->log;

    $LOGGER->error("testhread starting (CGI version ".CGI->version.")");

}



my $q       = CGI->new;

my $check = defined $Config{useithreads};

$LOGGER->error("useithread? $check");

my $v = mod_perl->VERSION;

$LOGGER->error("version $v");



    my $thr = threads->create(sub { }); # comment out these two lines will work

    $thr->join(); # already crashed at the line above



$q->header(-status => '200 OK');



It produces logs



Aug 20 13:07:50 (4216) [error] testhread starting (CGI version 3.51)

Aug 20 13:07:50 (4216) [error] useithread? 1

Any way I can solve this?



Thanks!
