Description

Since JIT is deprecated, please disregard this ticket if it is a JIT issue; I'm only reporting it in case it is not.

When building parrot r41241 under Fedora 11 "perl Configure.pl ; make" results in:

[...previous output snipped...]
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/home/markmont/perl6/parrot/compilers/pge'
/usr/bin/perl -MExtUtils::Command -e rm_f PGE.pbc ../../runtime/parrot/library/PGE.pbc
/usr/bin/perl -e "" >PGE/builtins_gen.pir
../../parrot -o PGE.pbc --output-pbc PGE.pir
../../parrot ../../runtime/parrot/library/PGE/Perl6Grammar.pir  --output=PGE/builtins_gen.pir PGE/builtins.pg
gmake[1]: *** [PGE.pbc] Segmentation fault (core dumped)
gmake[1]: *** Deleting file `PGE.pbc'
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/markmont/perl6/parrot/compilers/pge'
make: *** [compilers.dummy] Error 2

However, "perl Configure.pl --jitcapable=0 ; make" succeeds and the resulting built parrot works with rakudo.

"perl Configure.pl" reports:

auto::jit -           Determine JIT capability...p = 0x9733000  PAGE_SIZE = 4096 (0x1000)
failure: Permission denied
.........................yes.

Misc info:

Linux kernel 2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i686.PAE
gcc 4.4.1
glibc 2.10.1-5.i686
SELinux enabled (however, audit log has only the expected "type=ANOM_ABEND sig=11" events)

Fedora 11 is running as a virtual guest (32 bit) under VMWare Fusion 2.0.5 under MacOS 10.6.1.

Change History

Changed 12 years ago by markmont

darbelo on #perl6 diagnosed this as SELinux not liking some of the stunts JIT pulls.

darbelo says, "The current JIT likes to have write and execute permissions on memory, to which SELinux objects, but the configure probe isn't smart enough to notice. It gets failure: Permission denied"

I confirm this -- after running "setenforce 0" to disable SELinux, "perl Configure.pl ; make" succeeds.

darbelo has pointed out that this ticket is a duplicate of #581. I'll put any new information there.

(also s/\#perl6/#parrot/ in the comment above)

Changed 12 years ago by markmont

I have attached a patch to #581 that allows Parrot to be built with JIT support under Fedora when SELinux is in enforcing mode.
