Running Redmine unter Ruby 2.0.0 produces an "Illegal instruction(coredump)" under AIX 7.1

Added by wnovak (Werner Novak) almost 11 years ago. Updated over 4 years ago.

Target version:

ruby -v:
ruby 2.0.0p0 (2013-02-24 revision 39474) [powerpc-aix6.1.0.0]

Description

We compiled Ruby under AIX 7.1 and everthing work fine throughout testing, but when we install Redmine 2.3.0 an go through the normal navigation, we can reproduce the following error by only clicking multiple links consecutively in the administration.

I can deliver the coredump also, but it has 92mb (zipped 22mb) !!

Same problem occures without redmine plugins and with older ruby version 1.9.3 p392

Updated by wnovak (Werner Novak) almost 11 years ago

Also tried it with Redmine 2.2.4 under ruby 1.9.3 p392, with the same results, see dump below:

We are facing similar issue (similar stack trace) in our tests. Our observation is, if we build ruby in non-optimized mode or 'even if we have ruby optimized (-O) but gc.c built without optimization' we do not see core dump. This might indicate that some code in gc.c is getting optimized away that leads to this issue.

It core dumps randomly but most of the times within st_lookup. We are not able to reproduce with a simple program yet.

Not sure if this is anyway related, but found issue which happened in optimized builds of ruby but non-optimized had worked. http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5244. The fix of this issue #5244 relied on "register window" concept but it seems that 'register window' does not apply to power architecture.

Any inputs from ruby core team might be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Additional input, an SBR (stack array bounds read) was reported in mark_locations_array. for example see the attachment.

This turns out to be issue related to optimization, we were able to workaround this using ruby compiled with xlc flags "-O -qhot". Hope it helps someone. Thanks!!
