Hi,

I've had the following bug report submitted; if the submitter is correct
(which seems likely, but I don't have a G4 powerpc box to test on), then
the jit code in 8.39 is using G5 instructions inappropriately (where the
8.38 code didn't).

Obviously, I could just disable jit for this architecture, but I'd
rather avoid it if possible...

Regards,

Matthew

Dear Maintainer,

Rebuilding syslog-ng 3.7.3-3 on a PowerMac G4 failed with SIGILL,
debugging led to libpcre, and finally rebuilding src:pcre3 itself
fails with very similar symptoms:

(...)
/usr/bin/make  check-TESTS

The failing program is .libs/lt-pcre_jit_test. Using gdb is no help at
all, the failures happen at a different point every invocation:

My last rebuild of syslog-ng in July, using pcre3 version 2:8.38-3.1,
succeded. Therefore I guess it's the changes between 8.38 and 8.39.
Very likely this was introduced by the changes in the ppc_jit code
which unfortunately I was unable to understand.

Disabling jit for powerpc using the following patch:

resulted in a successful pcre3 build, and using the created packages
also syslog-ng passes the failing test again.


So I'm asking you to bring this upstream to sort out how the breakage
was introduced. From other bug reports I guess the created code uses
G5 instructions; the Debian powerpc buildds didn't notice as they
actually are such newer boxes.

As a hopefully temporary workaround you could disable jit for powerpc,
of course a the cost of a performance penalty.
