Обсуждение: pgcrypto related backend crash on solaris 10/x86_64
I brought back clownfish(still a bit dubious about the unexplained failures which seem vmware emulation bugs but this one seems to be easily reproduceable) onto the buildfarm and enabled --with-openssl after the the recent openssl/pgcrypto related fixes but I'm still getting a backend crash during the pgcrypto regression tests: http://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=clownfish&dt=2007-09-09%2012:14:50 backtrace looks like: program terminated by signal SEGV (no mapping at the fault address) 0xfffffd7fff241b61: AES_encrypt+0x0241: xorq (%r15,%rdx,8),%rbx (dbx) where =>[1] AES_encrypt(0x5, 0x39dc9a7a, 0xf560e7b50e, 0x90ca350d49, 0xf560e7b50ea90dfb, 0x6b6b6b6b), at 0xfffffd7fff241b61 [2] 0x0(0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0), at 0x0 Stefan

Zdenek Kotala posted a workaround for that, I am cleaning it but have not found the time to finalize it. I'll try to post v03 of Zdenek's patch ASAP. -- marko

But clownfish was working fine up through Aug 2, and the only change in pgcrypto since then could hardly have introduced this failure: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2007-08/msg00306.php So I think there's more to it than Marko's explanation. Maybe clownfish now has a different OpenSSL version installed than before? regards, tom lane

Maybe clownfish > now has a different OpenSSL version installed than before? no clownfish was not building with openssl before because of that "crippled openssl" issue - I was under the assumption that the above commit was actually incorporating the complete fix from zdenek so I added it back again only to find that it is still not working ...

I don't know if is possible select different output based on test if strong crypto is installed or not. Maybe some magic in Makefile/Configure. Test should be: # ldd /usr/postgres/8.2/lib/pgcrypto.so | grep libcrypto_extra # libcrypto_extra.so.0.9.8 => (file not found) if output contains (file not found) library is not installed or not in path (/usr/sfw/lib).

Failing regression tests are fine - it is good if user can easily see that the os is broken. -- marko

But if build machine still complain about problem we can easily
overlook another problems. There are two possible solution 1) modify reg
test or 2) recommend to install crypto package on all affected build
machine.
Anyway I plan to add some mention into solaris FAQ when we will have
final patch. I also think It should be good to mention in pg_crypto
README or add comment into regression test expected output file which
will be visible in regression.diff.

Adding information about that issue to the Solaris FAQ seems also like a good thing. Stefan
