PHP exits with status code 139, only on aarch64 with extension opcache enabled

[korridor]

Description

I'm the maintainer of a PHP application called solidtime and we use FrankenPHP (with Laravel Octane) for our production image. That works fine, but we wanted to add support for ARM.
The problem when we start the PHP application with the ARM image, it exits with the status code 139.

I already reported this in the FrankenPHP GitHub repository (the issue) and we figured out that this problem only happens if opcache is enabled. Since it looks like an issue with opcache and ARM, the maintainer of FrankenPHP (@dunglas) told me to report this issue here.

PHP Version

8.3.7

Operating System

Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)

Is it status code 138 or 139 (the FrankenPHP ticket mentions either); 138 would be SIGBUS, 139 SIGSEGV.

OPcache configuration copied from the FrankenPHP ticket:

Anyhow, can you please provide a stack backtrace?

If that is not possible, try running with opcache.protect_memory=1.

@cmb69 Thanks for noticing my typo. The real exit code is 139 and I just corrected it in the issues. I'll try the opcache.protect_memory=1 as soon as possible.

@cmb69 Setting opcache.protect_memory=1 does not seam to change anything. It still fails with exit code 139.

Regarding the stack backtrace, do you have any pointers on how to use that inside of a docker container? I tried to write into /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern from inside the container as root but I still got a bash: /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern: Read-only file system error.

Yeah, right opcache.protect_memory=1 is only useful if you get a core dump.

Maybe https://ddanilov.me/how-to-configure-core-dump-in-docker-container helps?

You may also try building PHP with --enable-address-sanitizer. Segfaults in C are often detached from their actual cause, meaning they occur significantly later, in a different place, due to random memory corruption. ASan helps catching memory violations where they occur. Alternatively, you may try running it with Valgrind.
