Pursuant to the recent discussion about using _hardened_build in more packages, I tried turning it on in postgresql. I was unpleasantly surprised to find that that causes the package's regression tests to fail, at least when running a 32-bit build in mock under a 64-bit kernel. The cause appears to be that getrlimit(RLIMIT_STACK) reports an inflated value for the process's available stack space. Just to make it more fun, the test doesn't always fail, which makes it look like address space randomization is affecting how much stack space you get, but not how much getrlimit tells you you've got. While 32-bit-under-64-bit-kernel probably isn't very reflective of real world database usage, it is reflective of what's going to happen in koji, so I cannot enable _hardened_build until this is resolved. So is this a kernel bug, or a userspace bug, and if the latter what component should I file it against? regards, tom lane -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
