This bug happens because of a nested
SHM_UNPROTECT()
sequence. In particular:The reason this nesting happen is because:
cache_script_in_shared_memory
zend_optimize_script
will eventually run SCCP as part of the DFA pass.php-src/Zend/Optimizer/sccp.c
Lines 2387 to 2389 in 4e9cde7
In this case, this destruction invokes the tracing JIT, leading to the nested unprotects.
This patch adds a counter to track the nesting level of shm protections. This is a simple solution to the problem. An alternative is not JITting during SCCP, but that would be a leaky abstraction. I also think this solution is more general.
One downside is an extra check in case
protect_memory
is set, but production configuration usually don't have this enabled. It may be possible to combine theprotect_memory
andshm_nesting_level
field in some way, but that will make more complicated code.
