Description of problem: Chromium crashes in Fedora 25 and Rawhide with a backtrace such as: Received signal 4 ILL_ILLOPN 7f58262eac90 #0 0x7f58266a864e <unknown> … (Ignore the addresses above, those are actually from QtWebEngine, I don't have a Chromium backtrace saved right now.) This happens because the packages there are built at compile time against glibc 2.25, which defines the MADV_FREE macro. So the memory allocation code in "WTF" (a part of WebKit/Blink) tries to use that instead of MADV_DONTNEED, but the sandbox only allows MADV_DONTNEED. QtWebEngine upstream now carries this fix: http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtwebengine-chromium.git/commit/?h=49-based&id=b12ffcd411d4776f7120ccecb3be34344d930d2b (which is misleadingly/incompletely labeled in the commit message – even if you have a new enough kernel, as we do, MADV_FREE is not going to work because the sandbox does not allow it). I backported that to my QtWebEngine packaging. But, since Chromium crashes with the same backtrace, it also needs some version of this fix. (Unfortunately, the Qt patch is only in 49-based so far, not in one of the branches based on a newer Chromium.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): chromium-52.0.2743.116-1.fc25 chromium-52.0.2743.116-1.fc26 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot a F25/Rawhide Live image. 2. dnf install chromium 3. sudo setenforce 0 to work around bug #1363914 4. sudo chmod a+w /dev/shm to work around bug #1347436 5. Try starting chromium. Actual results: Received signal 4 ILL_ILLOPN Expected results: No crash. Additional info: The OpenEmbedded report of Chromium no longer working when built against glibc 2.24: https://www.mail-archive.com/openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org/msg82915.html The QtWebEngine Fedora bug where I debugged that (with the help of Florian Weimer) to find all the details I am providing in this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1364781
And to be clear, yes, we have tested the Fedora chromium package and it crashed in the way described above, which is why I filed this bug.
