# rpm -q prosody lua
prosody-0.11.8-2.fc34.x86_64
lua-5.4.2-2.fc34.x86_64

How reproducible:

each time (on my instance)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to start prosody
2.
3.

Actual results:
Apr 27 20:05:17 karona prosody[2514]: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::system_error'
Apr 27 20:05:17 karona prosody[2514]:   what():  Unknown error -1


Expected results:

no error

Additional info:

I have a complete traceback. I will add comment as I find more information.

So this is a issue with icu_67::umtx_initImplPreInit, it seems.

And prosodyctl also fail:
# prosodyctl 
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::system_error'
  what():  Unknown error -1
Aborted (core dumped)

Comment 2 Michael S. 2021-04-27 18:22:18 UTC
So somewhere here:

https://hg.prosody.im/trunk/file/tip/util-src/encodings.c#l342

Comment 3 Michael S. 2021-04-27 18:23:47 UTC
So prosodyctl work on a fresh installation. This is quite curious.

Comment 4 Michael S. 2021-04-27 18:36:55 UTC
So to be precise, the line that fail is https://hg.prosody.im/trunk/file/tip/util-src/encodings.c#l345

Comment 5 Robert Scheck 2021-04-27 18:39:30 UTC
Given prosody and prosodyctl have both been working fine while the package was built [1][2], prosody might be the victim of later introduced breaking changes in Fedora (maybe Lua or ICU)...assuming that you are talking about an empty, unconfigured prosody here.

Comment 6 Michael S. 2021-04-27 19:04:55 UTC
Ok so #3 was wrong, I forgot I didn't upgrade this specific server.

On F34, the shortest reproducer I have is the following:

# cat /tmp/e.lua 
package.path =  '/usr/lib64/prosody/?.lua;'; 
package.cpath = '/usr/lib64/prosody/?.so;';
local encodings = require "util.encodings";


# lua /tmp/e.lua
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::system_error'
  what():  Unknown error -1
Aborted (core dumped)

Running gdb show something in libicu fail.

Comment 9 Michael S. 2021-04-27 22:39:42 UTC
Switching from icu to idn fixed the problem:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=66824480

That's a workaround, and to be honest, I do not know the impact. 
Using ICU was added a few months ago, on https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/prosody/c/33be1282d450ee0ab1032fa91412bcf747c23ad7?branch=rawhide

Comment 10 Michael S. 2021-04-27 23:26:35 UTC
Proposed patch, switch back to libidn:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/prosody/pull-request/1

Comment 11 Robert Scheck 2021-04-27 23:37:04 UTC
As mentioned there (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/prosody/pull-request/1#comment-73097), this is not a good idea.

The only issue here is libicu, which was unfortunately broken from libicu-67.1-5.fc34 to libicu-67.1-6.fc34:


$ cat /tmp/e.lua 
package.path =  '/usr/lib64/prosody/?.lua;'; 
package.cpath = '/usr/lib64/prosody/?.so;';
local encodings = require "util.encodings";
$ 

$ rpm -q libicu
libicu-67.1-6.fc34.x86_64
$

$ lua /tmp/e.lua
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::system_error'
  what():  Unknown error -1
Aborted (core dumped)
$

$ dnf install https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/icu/67.1/5.fc34/x86_64/libicu-67.1-5.fc34.x86_64.rpm -y >> /dev/null 2>&1
$ 

$ rpm -q libicu
libicu-67.1-5.fc34.x86_64
$

$ lua /tmp/e.lua
$

Comment 12 Michael S. 2021-04-28 11:02:04 UTC
I tried a rebuild of the icu package: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=66854119
(in case this was some gcc errors or something)

No luck, still fail.

Comment 13 Robert Scheck 2021-04-28 13:24:55 UTC
Yes, I've tried that last night as well. Looks like the build root difference between libicu-67.1-5.fc34 and libicu-67.1-6.fc34 causes the impact.

Comment 14 Michael S. 2021-04-29 10:36:56 UTC
So, to rule out gcc upgrade, I built icu using clang: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=66916464 

And the error is still here (but maybe I did the gcc to clang switch wrong).

Comment 15 Eike Rathke 2021-04-29 13:45:08 UTC
Seeing that it crashes immediately under invocation from Lua,

#6  0x00007f0e501a2830 _ZSt20__throw_system_errori (libstdc++.so.6 + 0xa4830)
#7  0x00007f0e51e9efff _ZN6icu_6720umtx_initImplPreInitERNS_9UInitOnceE (libicuuc.so.67 + 0x68fff)
#8  0x00007f0e51f6c8ff usprep_open_67 (libicuuc.so.67 + 0x1368ff)
#9  0x00007f0e52022f8a init_icu (encodings.so + 0x1f8a)
#10 0x00007f0e52023051 luaopen_util_encodings (encodings.so + 0x2051)

and Lua wasn't rebuilt since the mass rebuild on 2021-01-26 (i.e. not "Rebuilt for removed libstdc++ symbol (#1937698)" which is the only change between icu-67.1-5.fc34 and icu-67.1-6.fc34), does this still happen with lua-5.4.3-1.fc34 which was built just yesterday?
See https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1741480

Comment 16 Eike Rathke 2021-04-29 14:53:06 UTC
Ah darn, luaopen_util_encodings() and init_icu() are not from Lua but from Prosody ... which also wasn't rebuilt after 2021-02-26 (may or may not be related).
Odd enough, init_icu() does not call usprep_open() but usprep_openByType(), which in turn calls usprep_open(). However, umtx_initImplPreInit() is called by a umtx_initOnce() template, which in usprep context is only used in a static initCache() function called by usprep_getProfile() called by usprep_open(). Those two are missing from the stack trace, initCache() may have been inlined but I doubt usprep_getProfile() was. Anyway, mutex umtx_initImplPreInit() is used by umtx_initOnce() in 100 different places, ICU is a critical path library and I doubt it's a general failure. I'd recommend to try if a rebuild of Prosody solves the problem.

Comment 17 Robert Scheck 2021-04-29 16:14:34 UTC
As per comment #8, a simple rebuild of Prosody with lua-5.4.2-2.fc34 in buildroot does not help. But let's see if this changes with lua-5.4.3-1.fc34 in buildroot (as suggested in comment #15).

Comment 18 Robert Scheck 2021-04-29 16:22:48 UTC
No, it doesn't help: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=66931755

Comment 19 Robert Scheck 2021-04-29 23:25:34 UTC
One of the Prosody upstream developers had a look to this today. As of writing, it seems like the issue can be alternatively triggered in Fedora 34+ via `-Wl,--as-needed`:

Fedora 34 RPM, segfaulting (ldd /usr/lib64/prosody/util/encodings.so):
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fffb9f9b000)

Comment 21 Robert Scheck 2021-04-30 00:15:23 UTC
Sorry, "Debian 10 without `-Wl,--as-needed`, working (ldd encodings.so)" is wrong, it should have been "Debian 10 WITH `-Wl,--as-needed`, working (ldd encodings.so)" instead.

Comment 23 Eike Rathke 2021-04-30 09:57:49 UTC
Great finding, thanks!

Comment 24 Robert Scheck 2021-04-30 10:01:55 UTC
But I'm not sure whether this is some GCC/linker issue, because -lpthread shouldn't be removed by `-Wl,--as-needed` (the -lpthread is IMHO introduced and required by libicu). And it's still interesting that it happens since a rebuild of libicu.

Comment 25 Michael S. 2021-04-30 14:14:31 UTC
There was almost no ABI change with the rebuild:

$ abipkgdiff libicu-67.1-5.fc34.x86_64.rpm libicu-67.1-6.fc34.x86_64.rpm

Given that's related to std::once_flag, could it be also interfering with umtx_initOnce ?

Comment 26 Fedora Update System 2021-05-01 02:57:50 UTC
FEDORA-2021-aef3ad6c18 has been pushed to the Fedora 34 stable repository.
If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report.

Comment 27 Ben Cotton 2022-05-12 16:58:27 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 34 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 34 on 2022-06-07.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '34'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 34 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Comment 28 Ben Cotton 2022-06-08 06:32:03 UTC
Fedora Linux 34 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2022-06-07.

Fedora Linux 34 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
