Description:
------------
Prerequisites:
- System has CPU flag PDPE1GB (basically sandy bridge era or better)
- System configured with hugepage size of 1GB
- PHP version > 7.0
- /etc/php.d/10-opcache.ini:opcache.huge_code_pages=1

Execution:
PHP has a 0.2% chance that execve() loads PHP in the upper 512 4 KiB pages of a 1 GiB page. This causes zend_move_code_to_huge_pages to select start address for the mmap allocation to be 1 GiB aligned (ZEND_MM_ALIGNED_SIZE_EX for the start address - both 2MiB and 1GiB alignment will be the same).

From mmap(2). This will result in a successful allocation of a full 1 GiB, resulting in a corrupted heap. PHP will receive a SIGSEGV when returning from zend_remap_huge_pages and calling fclose on the file pointer in zend_move_code_to_huge_pages()


Remediation:
- Modify zend_remap_huge_pages to call mmap with the MAP_HUGE_2MB flag
or
- Check system default hugepage size by opening /proc/meminfo and reading in Hugepagesize setting - this isn't very portable but ensures that the correct page size can be used, or the function can exit gracefully.

Test script:
---------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
while(1)
{
    system( 'php /some/php/file' ); # doesn't need to be a CLI call, can be from apache
}

Expected result:
----------------
Nothing

Actual result:
--------------
0.2% chance of SIGSEGV

It was very difficult to get a useful trace for this, This is the best I could come up with as GDB was being very uncooperative:

Two patches are submitted, The first uses the MAP_HUGE_2MB flag to control mmap() behavior, but this macro may not be defined on all systems, and may need macro support to work properly.

The second patch checks /proc/meminfo to verify the system's default hugepage size, and validates that the allocation size is not smaller than the hugepage size (the 1GiB case) prior to calling accel_remap_huge_pages. If this is not the case, emit an actionable error to the user. Macro definitions for MAP_HUGE_2MB and MAP_HUGE_1GB can be found in mmap(2)

I was able to get a complete backtrace for this crash. The system in question is an Epyc 7501 with a Fedora 33 VM. The crash occurs 100% of the time when starting php-fpm. Hugepagesize is 2048kB though, not 1GB, so it seems this bug can occur in more cases than originally suggested.
