Bug ID: 220027
Summary: www/firefox: crashes on latest head due to jemalloc
update
Product: Ports & Packages
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: Individual Port(s)
Assignee: ge...@freebsd.org
Reporter: henry.hu...@gmail.com
Flags: maintainer-feedback?(ge...@freebsd.org)
Assignee: ge...@freebsd.org
jemalloc is updated in base to 5.0 on Jun 15. The result is that firefox
crashes minutes after startup, or crashes when doing a measurement in
about:memory.
The error is:
<jemalloc>: jemalloc_ctl.c:1212: Failed assertion: "node->nchildren > 0"
The reason is that malloc ctl stats.arenas.0.metadata.allocated is renamed to
stats.arenas.0.internal (see
https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/commit/a0dd3a4483e2e72ee80e70424a6522f873f2c7ff
and
https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/commit/751f2c332d91209c5ae3234fa444a20850067960),
while firefox is still checking the old malloc ctl without checking the return
value of mallctlnametomib.
One temporary fix is modifying firefox binary and updating the string. Firefox
should be patched for this.
