PHP 5.4.5 and PHP 5.3.15

On july 19th 2012, the PHP group has released PHP 5.4.5 and PHP 5.3.15, that bring over 30 bug fixes, including a fix for a security related overflow issue in the stream implementation.

The corresponding packages are now available on Dotdeb for Debian 6.0 “Squeeze” on both amd64 and i386 architectures (see the installation instructions). Please also note that the php5-xhprof package is now available for PHP 5.4.

As usual, please read the ChangeLog before upgrading and be sure to use to the latest packages before reporting any issue.

after upgrade, restarting php5-fpm daemon gives the following error :
/etc/init.d/php5-fpm: line 56: 9565 Segmentation fault start-stop-daemon –start –quiet –pidfile $PIDFILE –exec $DAEMON — $DAEMON_ARGS 2> /dev/null

any ideas? something we’re missing perhaps?

thanks,
dpdt1

Same here with the segmentation fault after updating the php5 packages from 5.3.14 to 5.3.15. And it’s not only on restart, using php5-fpm starts got this error too.

I’ll need some more information to help you : which distribution? which architecture? Are all your PHP-related packages coming from Dotdeb? Sources.list? Which PHP extensions did you install?
A trace from the process launch would be great.

PHP 5.4.5 works great on Debian but why is
no php5-suhosin available at moment?

thx for answer

debian stable, amd64, with official, security, volatile, backports & dotdeb repos. all php5 packages come from dotdeb as far as i can see. dmesg : php5-fpm[6992]: segfault at 7f676969f3a0 ip 00007f677131d2b3 sp 00007fff4ba00bc0 error 4 in ld-2.11.3.so[7f677130f000+1e000]

@dpt1 : same config here, no problem. I’ll take a further look at it. Any special tweaking on your libc6 installation? What is the result of

  • dpkg -l ‘libc6*’|grep ‘^.i’
  • dpkg -l ‘*php5*’|grep ‘^.i’

?

By Post Author

@dpt1 : ok, could you please deactivate the sasl, ming, suhosin and apc extensions and see it the segfaults still occurs? If it doesn’t please reactivate them one by one until you find the guilty one.

By Post Author

thx. i tried to deactivate one by one, and it seems php5-sasl was causing it. i only checked with ming before that and had no effect, so not sure about the other extensions. will try later when i have some more time. thanks again 🙂

Hi,

same config here as dpdt1 except the backports repos.

That’s my output of the installed libc6 and php5 packages:

http://pastebin.com/ivZLHd6U

After disabling php5-xcache the error is gone. But now, after enabling the php5-xcache again the error is still gone.

same problems here.

sometimes restart/start works, sometimes not.
not always the second or the third try…
sometimes the 10s or 30s earlier or later.
so its hard to say if an extensions produces the error and when which..

on debian squeeze 32bit and 64bit.

libgv-php5 is not available for 5.4 (depends on phpapi-20090626).
any chance of getting this package from dotdeb?

@voro : no plan for this sorry. But you can build your own libgv-php5 packages by trying “apt-get source -b libg-php5” after installing php5-dev version 5.4. It may be a difficult job.

1)
suhosin is a must have for our customers.
at the moment no way around this.

2)
do you mean apc an xdebug?
it’s not running on all server at the same time. one some theres only apc. for example.

3)
but all this configuration was running well on all our system for a long time until the update yesterday. on the other hand there is no explanation why restart with apc enabled produces an error at the second try. and the other time there are 100 restarts without a problem. tested all extensions this way. (example of 50 restarts with only mysql enabled: https://pad.riseup.net/p/XxydwduHy2NY )

mae a new test:
500 restarts in a row with a sleep after each.
error rate increases by the number of activated extensions (up to 9 of 10)

Don’t know if it’s useful but after the latest upgrade of php (Linode standard Debian with PHP installed/updated via dotdeb) I got the following two lines after restart:

php5-fpm[18109]: segfault at b5b02064 ip b77a255f sp bfc91210 error 4 in ld-2.11.3.so[b7794000+1b000]
php5-fpm[18110]: segfault at b6a2f22c ip b775155f sp bfff7510 error 4 in ld-2.11.3.so[b7743000+1b000]

anywway php seems stable.

bye

Is it possible to get a Ubuntu 12.04 repo?
I hate my company… all servers ubuntu and no current php5 deb -.-

my server got error too

on dmesg

[ 819.731267] php5-fpm[7587]: segfault at b69881d4 ip b770355f sp bfb98440 error 4 in ld-2.11.3.so[b76f5000+1b000]

use tcp socket

packages.dotdeb.org

The init script doesn’t exit.

I upgraded php5-fpm to 5.3.15 on debian squeeze 32 last monday without pb.
This morning, my desktop stop its boot during rc2 init. After a while looking for the pb, it’s /etc/init.d/php5-fpm that start fpm but never end. I have my usual ps tree,

\_ /bin/sh /etc/init.d/php5-fpm start
\_ /usr/sbin/php5-fpm –fpm-config /etc/php5/fpm/php-fpm.conf
\_ php-fpm: master process (/etc/php5/fpm/php-fpm.conf)
\_ php-fpm: pool drupal
\_ php-fpm: pool www
[…]

fpm seems to run fine (on all the sockets I configure), but init script doesn’t exit and lock the boot :-/

When launching /etc/init.d/php5-fpm start manually, same thing, ctrl+c neither exits (kill neither do, only kill -9 can stop it).

After each kill -9, I grep ps output to check that no more php process is running, and remove pidfile and socket. I tried to launch each command of /etc/init.d/php5-fpm one by one by hand, and “start-stop-daemon –start –quiet –pidfile $PIDFILE –exec $DAEMON — $DAEMON_ARGS” never exit. I tried VERBOSE=yes in /etc/default/rcS and then “/etc/init.d/php5-fpm start” ends normally !! I put back VERBOSE=no in /etc/default/rcS and the script still ends normally !!!!

I’m sure that /etc/ is exactly the same as each day of last week (I check against /etc snapshots I have), so I really don’t understand what’s happened.

Hi all. I keep on investigating this issue by analyzing backtraces (https://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php). Here it is :

The same problem seems to occur on other systems, such as FreeBSD.

Hi Guillaume!

I decided to go for 5.4 package while 5.3 crashes on my debian stable amd64 development machine … but apparently php5-ffmpeg only works with 5.3.15.
So my question is: will it be supported on 5.4 ?

Thanks in advance.

@Daniel Caillibaud : Thanks for this report. I’m succeeding in reproducing this freeze in a (Xen-based) virtualized environment. I’ll take a look at it. I wonder if it’s related to the above segfault issue. Something seems to be messed up with the PHP-FPM launch.

By Post Author

If you encounter segfaults, could you please try to set and to export the ZEND_DONT_UNLOAD_MODULES environment variable before launching php5-fpm :
export ZEND_DONT_UNLOAD_MODULES=1

Tell me if it works. Thanks in advance.

By Post Author

Hi,

yes exporting this environment variable at my system did the trick and the segfault is gone.

Thanks for this hint!!!

@Guillaume

Workaround seems to work on our servers,too.

Maybe you could release a new version e.g. 5.3.15-1~dotdeb.1 with a customized init.d script to get things work by update …

I have this problems yet in dmesg
php5-fpm[13755]: segfault at 1d7e8 ip 0001d7e8 sp bfd3acfc error 4 in php5-fpm[8048000+80a000]

🙁

@Guillaume Plessis yep I´m export ZEND_DONT_UNLOAD_MODULES=1 but php5-fpm[13755]: segfault at 1d7e8 ip 0001d7e8 sp bfd3acfc error 4 in php5-fpm[8048000+80a000] in dmesg , in debian squeeze

Note: php5-fpm work, but problems when restart

Just some short comments (debian squeeze, 32 bit):
– the restart issue exists. The supposed export fixes this issue

Some additional things with the current release and the SEGAULT issues:
– having xhprof installed using php5-xhprof leads to several segfaults without a debugtrace. Use the PECL Version for now
– using slowlog with stacktrace, you can end up with segfaults because the stacktrace is to long or similar. In that case, your script dies after the slowlog timeout

General FastCGI hints ( not an dotdeb issue)
– for all being newer to FPM, be aware you set idle-timeout in the FastCgiExtern derictive to something higher then you php max-exectution time / the FPM process timeout. Otherwise you get a apache/nginx/webserver timeout (500 Internal server error) while the process continues to run

And, last but not lest, thank you for your outstanding work here!!

well, that export did not really fix my issue, but i think https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62216 is very related here.

i modified his fix:
PIDFILE=/var/run/php5-fpm.pid
DAEMON_ARGS=”–fpm-config /etc/php5/fpm/php-fpm.conf –pid $PIDFILE”

(be aware, you change the order of PIDFILE and DEAMON_ARGS)

I also changed the TIMEOUT to 5 seconds, which is used below to wait between sigterms QUIT and TERM

Still, that way, you can get stop/start working, but still restart wont work:
An another FPM instance seems to already listen on /var/run/php-fpm/pools/www/www.sock

More or less, i think this is all dedicated to
start-stop-daemon –stop –quiet –oknodo –retry=0/30/TERM/5/KILL/5 –exec $DAEMON

since the init.d script trys to let the forks complete properly before finally killing it. But killing takes longer and e.g. the socket does not get deleted in time, therefore the start script fails.

so we first send TERM, check instanly, then we wait for 30 seconds, before we send another the TERM signal (soft/good kill), wait another 5s and kill the process hard, then wait for 5 seconds once again.

Still, starting and stoping fail randomly and i dont know why.

Some help would be awesome here

Sorry from tripple-posting, but i just had another suggestion:

Could it be, that the script is trying to kill the forks, which then are instantly restarted and therefor the fork-kill script gets into a loop? so basically, it kills fork 1, goes on to 2, trys to kill that, fork1 is restarted, it goes to 1…and so forth. That would explain why the script goes on forever, because the timeouts are never hit, as there is a reaction on the kill.

Does that sound any clueless? 🙂

Hi,

The restart is broken for me too! The export ZEND_DONT_UNLOAD_MODULES=1 fix works! Where should I put it? In .bashrc? Or it will be fixed with the next release? Thanks!

We had the same problem with php version 5.3.16 and 5.4.6 but as soon as we got the imap.ini in /etc/php5/conf.d/ removed, php5-fpm was restarting like a charm again..

Could anyone else verify this?

We are not using IMAP at all, so i dont think this is related. I have better results with 5.3.16 currently, it stuckes rare, but it still does from time to time

Hi
so I have been having the same problem as well.
