Description:
------------
I'm unable to get PHP 7.3 to run with address sanitizer.

Reproduce:
./configure CFLAGS="-fsanitize=address -g" CXXFLAGS="-fsanitize=address -g" LDFLAGS="-fsanitize=address" --enable-debug
make

./sapi/cli/php
leads to a segfault.

This problem does not happen with 7.2.x.
Address Sanitizer has been an extremely helpful tool to identify memory corruption bugs and security issues in PHP, therefore this is concerning, as it might hamper the ability of security researchers to find bugs in PHP.

A stack trace from GDB shows this happens in the function zend_cpu_supports_avx2(). AVX2 support is not available in PHP 7.2, therefore I believe this explains the difference between 7.2 and 7.3.

Expected result:
----------------
No segfault with ASAN.

Actual result:
--------------
Segfault with ASAN.

Confirming the segfault. Had to add LIBS="-ldl" to avoid linker errors.

(gdb) p &__cpu_model
$8 = (<data variable, no debug info> *) 0x55555678b680 <__cpu_model>
(gdb) p/x $rax
$9 = 0x55555678b68c
(gdb) p/x $rdx
$10 = 0xaab2ace96d1

From what I gathered (addr>>3)+0x7fff8000 is the shadow address used by asan, and apparently it is not mapped.

Looks like asan being incompatible with ifunc resolvers is a longstanding problem: https://github.com/google/sanitizers/issues/342

We might be able to work around it with some __attribute__((no_sanitize_address)) attributes.

I tried patching 7.3.1 with that commit and it still crashes for me, so I don't believe this is fixed.

Did you do a full rebuild after applying the change? The header change will not be picked up in an incremental build.
 [2019-01-16 17:54 UTC] hanno at hboeck dot de 
I did, it was a completely fresh build.

Is it possible it's using the headers from the system-wide installed version instead of from the source code?
 [2019-01-18 12:11 UTC] nikic@php.net 
Could you please provide a stacktrace for the segfault? I'm wondering which codepath is calling cpu_supports() in your case.

Just to check, you are using gcc, and you are compiling with --enable-debug?
 [2019-01-18 12:58 UTC] hanno at hboeck dot de 
The "--enable-debug" was the issue. With it no segfault, without I still get a segfault.

Is this intentional? (I don't think this is good: It will mean people will end up seeing segfaults e.g. if they want to fuzz, where people don't want to enable debugging, because they want max speed.)
 [2019-01-18 13:06 UTC] nikic@php.net 
No, it's not intentional. I only marked the cpu_supports functions as no_sanitize_address, but with optimization they're probably inlined and the attribute is lost. We'll probably need the attributes also on the ifuncs themselves.
 [2019-01-18 14:04 UTC] nikic@php.net 
Release builds should be fixed with https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/986b9b5ae3e04e33fda89f102da1bba625aa06ef.
 [2019-01-19 09:32 UTC] hanno at hboeck dot de 
Thanks, with both commits applied no more segfaults!
