Description:
------------
php-fpm is crashing when 'events.mechanism' is set to 'port'. It doesn't crash on first request, it can process some, however, the crash is imminent and my installation dumps cores like 1 per minute (this server is used by ~50 developers).

When set to 'events.mechanism = /dev/poll' php-fpm stop to crash.

Backtrace (they all do look similar):

I've hit this too on 5.5.11, but with a Bus Error rather than a SEGV (which will be a SPARC vs x86 thing). It particularly happens if I kill -QUIT FPM before it's handled *any* requests (and so hasn't received any events). This is the backtrace (using mdb):

fpm_event_fire+0x1c(2e70687035002e, ffffffff, 1, ffffffff7fffd470, ffffffff7fffd460, ffffffffffffffff)
fpm_event_port_wait+0x1ec(1014a3c50, 3e8, 2, 100efe858, 1768, 0)
fpm_event_loop+0x3f0(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)
fpm_run+0xa8(ffffffff7ffff928, 0, a, 100effc80, ffffffff7df02a40, ffffffff7df02a40)
main+0x12bc(1, ffffffffffffffff, ffffffff7ffffaa8, ffffffff7df001c0, 2880, 2800)
_start+0x12c(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)



This is what I think is going on in my case (maybe yours too?) - long story short it's a memory reuse problem:

fpm_event_port_init() malloc()s a chunk of memory to store events retrieved from the port, and doesn't initialise that memory at all. In my case it happened to have previously stored a pointer to a string used in processing php-fpm.conf.

fpm_event_port_wait() uses port_getn() to look for events, with a parameter nget  - the intended number of events - set to 1. In normal use that nget parameter is updated to the number of events actually retrieved, but if port_getn is interrupted by a signal and no events have been sent to the port, nget is left at 1 (see http://marc.info/?l=opensolaris-networking-discuss&m=125441701003618)

The code below the port_getn() call sees nget > 0, assumes an event has been returned, and tries to process it. Because the memory assigned to store events hasn't been zeroed out, it gets through the brief sanity check and passes a junk pointer to fpm_event_fire - which then reads the random string (in my case ".php5\0.") as itself being a pointer (0x2e70687035002e), tries to dereference it and falls in a heap.

I'm not sure if it's a safe assumption that if port_getn() was interrupted by a signal and we're only asking for one event, then there *definitely* won't have been any events retrieved - I suspect not. I also don't know if just zeroing out the memory in fpm_event_port_init() is enough, or if that only works because I'm only hitting it immediately after startup.

I experienced this problem (php-fpm SIGSEGVs after sending it SIGQUIT immediately after startup) with php 7.0.12 and 5.6.27 on Solaris 11.3.

I attached a one-liner patch for this problem. It is still not well tested, will update here later...

I have the same problem with PHP 7.1.2 on Solaris 11.3/SPARC. The applied patch did not fix it, I'm still getting coredumps:

The 03-event_port.patch patch at https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/tree/oi/hipster/components/web/php/php-7_0/patches works better, no core dumps anymore.
