merge revision(s) 8b0dc77a621ded75f72486c33f55404ce73f00d7: [Backport #17275]
configure.ac: Bump the size of sigaltstack The RubyVM uses C macro defines to feature detect whether `backtrace(2)` support is available, and if so it includes C level backtraces when the RubyVM itself crashes. But on my machine, C level backtraces from `vm_dump.c` didn't work when using a version of Ruby buillt on the machine, but worked fine when using a version of Ruby built on another machine and copied to my machine. The default autoconf test for backtraces uses a sigaltstack size that is too small, so the SIGSEGV signal handler itself causes a SIGSEGV). I noticed that signal.c uses a larger sigaltstack size: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/v2_6_5/signal.c#L568 The specific variables it looks at: - `HAVE_BACKTRACE` this is a macro defined by autoconf because there is a line in the configure script like `AC_CHECK_FUNCS(backtrace)` (see the autoconf docs for more). - `BROKEN_BACKTRACE` this comes from a custom program that Ruby's configure script runs to attempt to figure out whether actually using backtrace(2) in a real program works. You can see the autoconf program here. <https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/v2_6_5/configure.ac#L2817-L2863> It uses sigaltstack and SA_ONSTACK to create a seperate stack for handling signals. The problem was: SIGSTKSZ (which comes from a system header!) was not suggesting a large enough stack size. When checking on an Ubuntu 16.04 box, we found that SIGSTKSZ was 8192 and MINSIGSTKSZ was 2048. --- configure.ac | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) git-svn-id: svn+ssh://ci.ruby-lang.org/ruby/branches/ruby_2_6@67924 b2dd03c8-39d4-4d8f-98ff-823fe69b080e
