Description:
------------
There is a reliable segfault observed in one of our applications. After the first segfault, each additional request also results in a segfault. The only solution is to restart PHP-FPM.

This has been tested and reproduced on several machines, all running Debian Jessie.

This bug has been observed on 5.6.12 and 5.6.15-dev (latest Git). It HAS NOT been observed on 7.0.0RC3 or 7.1.0-dev (latest Git).




 

Test script:
---------------
I have tried to create a short test script to reproduce the bug, but have been unsuccessful. It happens reliably in one high-load use case where 100+ requests are sent to the server almost concurrently. Each request creates many objects, so it is possible that GC is triggered. After ~30 requests are processed, the first crash happens.

Expected result:
----------------
No crash, or at least a sensible error message.

Actual result:
--------------
Core was generated by `php-fpm: pool www                                                 '.
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a 
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates 
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

I am sorry, but if no reproduce script provided, we can not do much things here..

After some poking around with gdb, I've managed to narrow the issue down.
It only happens with opcache enabled, and with concurrent requests. I was using `ab -n 10000 -c 100 "http://my.server/crash.php"` to test.

The following code causes the issue to appear:

-- BEGIN CODE --

<?php

class a {
	const
            REPLACEMENTS_PASS_1 = [
        	"\x00" => "", "\x01" => "", "\x02" => "", "\x03" => "", 
		"\x04" => "", "\x05" => "", "\x06" => "", "\x07" => "", 
		"\x08" => "", "\x0B" => "", "\x0C" => "", "\x0D" => "", 
		"\x0E" => "", "\x0F" => "", "\x10" => "", "\x11" => "", 
		"\x12" => "", "\x13" => "", "\x14" => "", "\x15" => "", 
		"\x16" => "", "\x17" => "", "\x18" => "", "\x19" => "", 
		"\x1A" => "", "\x1B" => "", "\x1C" => "", "\x1D" => "", 
		"\x1E" => "", "\x1F" => "", "\x7F" => "",
    ];
	
	public function __construct() {
		echo strtr("abcd", self::REPLACEMENTS_PASS_1);
	}
}

new a();

okey, great, thanks for the script, I get what's going wrong there, a quick fix could be:

diff --git a/ext/opcache/Optimizer/pass1_5.c b/ext/opcache/Optimizer/pass1_5.c
index 4ed3dd4..949be9e 100644
--- a/ext/opcache/Optimizer/pass1_5.c
+++ b/ext/opcache/Optimizer/pass1_5.c
@@ -314,6 +314,8 @@ if (ZEND_OPTIMIZER_PASS_1 & OPTIMIZATION_LEVEL) {
 							    ZEND_IS_CONSTANT_TYPE(Z_TYPE(t))) {
 								break;
 							}
+						} else if (Z_TYPE_PP(c) == IS_ARRAY) {
+							break;
 						} else {
 							t = **c;
 							zval_copy_ctor(&t);



anyway, I need discuss with Dmitry about this before I commit it..

thanks

We encounter the same problem on 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.13. In the backtrace the gdb shows the same problem at Zend/zend_gc.h:189.

Please, could someone backport the solution to 5.5?
