Hi All,

Another month, another PHP update.

OS/2 binaries are at: https://smedley.id.au/tmp/php-8.1.6-os2-20220514.zip

OS/2 sources are at: https://github.com/psmedley/php-os2/tree/php-8.1

Thanks once again to Steven for his encouragement to get this code into
github, and for the numerous patches he's provided.

This build does not (yet) include
https://github.com/psmedley/php-os2/pull/13 as it hasn't been tested yet
with PHP 7.4

Note: I don't intend to continue builds for PHP 8.0 - please sing out
if this is a problem.

I'll maintain 7.4.x builds for at least until the end of security fixes.

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Paul,

  Thanks again! I'm having trouble with this one though... first off, the imagick php module prevents the server from starting, so I have to comment it out in php.ini. Then the server starts and serves non-php pages fine, but as soon as I try to go to phpMyAdmin, the server computer locks solid and I have to do a hard reset. Unfortunately there are no error logs created to give you for that.

Regards,

Steven Levine

Have you tried any simple tests? Here's some from my testcase collection:

php --version
php --help
php -i |& less
php --ini |& less
php -r "echo 'Sign of life';"
echo `<?php echo 'Sign of life'; ?>` | php

php -B "echo 'Sign of life';"
php -c. -r "printf('%%x', rand());"

This will help tell us if your problem is in the basic engine or int the
modphp interface.

I've been otherwise occupied this morning so 8.1.6 is not yet installed
here.

Hi David,

Did a quick 8.1.6 install and most of the basic tests seem to work

I have to suspect we have an issue in the modphp.dll.

Hi Steven,

  Yes, you are probably right. I tried those commands you posted and everything worked on the command line just as you show. But trying to get to any of phpMyAdmin, or Wordpress, or FileGator thru a web interface and it's a deep freeze...

Freezes are unusual.

Does something simplier like phpinfo.php freeze too:

<html>
<head>
<title>PHP Info</title>
</head>
<body>
Here's your php info
<p>
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
</body>
</html>

8.1.6 does not appear have all the patches we applied to php 7.4.28. We
shall see what Paul has to say when he awakes. He's an early riser, but
it is Sunday down there.

Hi Steven,

 Your simple php script works here with php 8.1.6 from a web browser (Dooble). Maybe the issue is deeper than modphp.dll?

 Also - I have to stand corrected, FileGator works fine with 8.1.6, but Wordpress and phpMyAdmin freeze the machine. Maybe one of the php modules is causing this?

Uggh.I did say I only did simple tests :( Things like test.php (which
calls phpinfo()) are fine, but I just got a 100% CPU loop trying
phpmyadmin.

Time to go hunting.....Sorry for the hassle :(

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Steven,
7:34am here ;) This should have all the patches excepting the latest
ones to reduce memory usage as those aren't fully tested yet.

phpinfo() is fine - perhaps the merge in git didn't go as planned. I'll
do some digging today.

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Paul,

  No hassle at all! I'm glad to help with testing - it's the least I can do (and probably the most too since no coding skills [yet]). I'm also glad you see the same issue...

Hey guys,

https://smedley.id.au/tmp/php-8.1.6-os2-20220515.zip seems to work
better. This is built from the original 8.1.5 patches, rather than from
what's in github. Importantly, this has none of the additional fixes
from Steven.

Next step is to work out what's different.

Cheers,

Paul

This is probably just as well. I've been slowly reverting the 7.4.28
patches that turned out not to be helpful. Eventually will will want the
BEGINLIBPATH patch and the final version of the zend_mm_chunk_alloc_int
patch.

I'm doubtful that the patches that attempt to turn an out of memory
condition into a clean php termination will ever work really well. This
would require additional non-trivial rework to the php error reporting
components. They all assume memory is available so that buffers can be
allocated to hold the error reports.

https://smedley.id.au/tmp/php-8.1.6-os2-20220515b.zip is built from git
again.

@Steven - remember the query last week about:
#ifndef __OS2__ /* workaround libcx bug */
zend_mm_munmap(ptr, offset);
#endif

I still had:
//#ifndef __OS2__ /* workaround libcx bug */
zend_mm_munmap(ptr, offset);
//#endif

Which was causing the 100% CPU usage <facepalm>.

Paul

Hi Paul,

  This one seems to work - thanks! While editing a page in Wordpress, Apache crashed with errors that look like a problem in Imagick.

php log:

Oops. That will do it. I was wondering why this mattered, until I
realized you had not yet merged all of the zend_mm_chunk_alloc_int patches
yet. With the patches in place, I don't think you would have ever reached
the hanging code.

I've added a calendar item to build a testcase for this. It is going to
wait for a day when I don't mind rebooting the system a few times.

Yes, it does.

This is an odd one. It appears that after the initial exception near:

DavidM-2022-05-15-6280a2b7-0141_03-HTTPD-exceptq.txt:601
029DFD98 1E434D69 LIBCN0 0001:00074D69 free.c#19 __std_free + 19
0001:00074D50 (free.obj)
029DFDA8 BB6FC551 MAGICK 0001:0042C551
029DFDB8 BB4374D5 MAGICK 0001:001674D5

the exceptions cascaded until the stack overflowed and then libc got
involved. We have:

DavidM-2022-05-15-6280a2b7-0141_03-HTTPD-exceptq.txt:49
Size Base ESP Max Top
00010000 029E0000 -> 029DA7B4 -> 029D3000 -> 029D0000

and it's never a good thing when ESP is less than Base.

Since that last thing ImageMagik did was call free, heap corruption is a
likely problem.
