wre 93 (#10502)

Issue

after upgrading from .83 to .93, mod perl would not start, giving the following error in modperl.error.log:

[Wed Jun 10 09:20:17 2009] [error] Integer overflow in hexadecimal number at /data/wre/prereqs/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/Linux/Smaps.pm line 83, <$f> line 649.\nBEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /data/wre/prereqs/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/i686-linux/Apache2/SizeLimit.pm line 98.\nCompilation failed in require at /data/wre/etc/modperl.pl line 1.\nBEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /data/wre/etc/modperl.pl line 1.\nCompilation failed in require at (eval 2) line 1.\n
[Wed Jun 10 09:20:17 2009] [error] Can't load Perl file: /data/wre/etc/modperl.pl for server ubuntu21087.aspadmin.net:0, exiting...

haarg and perlDreamer suggested working with the Apache::SizeLimit in modperl.pl.

So I commented all the lines out, restarted modperl and it worked without error.

Haarg thought maybe there was somethign with Linux::Smaps, so we enabled Apache::SizeLimit again and added $Apache2::SizeLimit::USE_SMAPS = 0; to the end of my modperl.pl so the resulting modperl.pl looked like this:

use Apache2::SizeLimit;
$Apache2::SizeLimit::MAX_PROCESS_SIZE = 100000;
$Apache2::SizeLimit::MAX_UNSHARED_SIZE = 75000;
$Apache2::SizeLimit::CHECK_EVERY_N_REQUESTS = 5;
$Apache2::SizeLimit::USE_SMAPS = 0;

however that didnt' work either. - I got the same error for modperl.

I'm running Webgui 7.5.24. This was a step I needed to take to upgrade to latest stable.

elnino 6/16/2009 11:41 pm	I've upgraded to webgui 7.6.27, and am getting ther error: [Tue Jun 16 21:45:07 2009] [error] [client 66.240.210.87] failed to resolve handler `Apache2::SizeLimit': Attempt to reload Apache2/SizeLimit.pm aborted.\nCompilation failed in require at (eval 1305) line 3.\n It's running my log files amuck. So I tried uncommenting the lines that Haarg asked me to comment out, and restarted perl, and am getting the same type errors.
elnino 6/16/2009 11:47 pm	"same type errors" means that when I uncomment the lines in modperl.pl, I get the same original errors: [Wed Jun 10 09:20:17 2009] [error] Integer overflow in hexadecimal number at /data/wre/prereqs/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/Linux/Smaps.pm line 83, <$f> line 649.\nBEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /data/wre/prereqs/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/i686-linux/Apache2/SizeLimit.pm line 98.\nCompilation failed in require at /data/wre/etc/modperl.pl line 1.\nBEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /data/wre/etc/modperl.pl line 1.\nCompilation failed in require at (eval 2) line 1.\n [Wed Jun 10 09:20:17 2009] [error] Can't load Perl file: /data/wre/etc/modperl.pl for server ubuntu21087.aspadmin.net:0, exiting...
elnino 6/22/2009 11:19 am	I've upgraded to 7.6.28, and am getting the error [Mon Jun 22 09:08:53 2009] [error] [client 66.240.210.87] failed to resolve handler `Apache2::SizeLimit': Integer overflow in hexadecimal number at /data/wre/prereqs/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/Linux/Smaps.pm line 83, <$f> line 1505.\nBEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /data/wre/prereqs/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/i686-linux/Apache2/SizeLimit.pm line 98.\nCompilation failed in require at (eval 1062) line 3.\n So according to Haarg, I commeted out PerlCleanupHandler Apache2::SizeLimit on my modperl.conf. Errors are gone for now. but I'm not running SizeLimit.
ehab 7/27/2009 6:00 pm	We have the same problem on multiple VPS servers running centOS 4 and 5 when upgrading to .93 when we downgraded to .91 it worked.
perlDreamer 8/25/2009 5:26 pm	This URL: http://www.mail-archive.com/modperl@perl.apache.org/msg20084.html suggests a patch for fixing the false error/warning. Please give it a shot on your machine and report back the results. Note, on RHEL/CentOS, there is a 2nd issue having to do with the file permissions for smap files: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=322881 Feedback Requested by perlDreamer
kimd 9/20/2009 5:13 am	Same problem on our site after upgrading to the latest wre (0.9.3) for ubuntu6. None of the above suggestions worked. Only by removing Smaps.pm I was able to make modperl start again (Apache2::SizeLimit detects that it is not there and proceeds withough Smaps.pm). It seems that $Apache2::SizeLimit::USE_SMAPS = 0 does not prevent calls to Smaps.pm even though it may not be used later on.
koen 9/20/2009 5:21 am	I would recommend turning it off for now.
pvanthony 10/14/2009 1:02 pm	FYI On Gentoo Hardened 64bit with Hardened kernel 2.6.26, there is no smaps in /proc. The earlier versions had it. It could be my fault as I just copied the config from the old kernel to the new one. Not sure. Managed to compile wre using gcc hardened for all except, perl, mod_perl and Apache2::Request. For the last three, had to use gcc vanilla. The build script had all what is needed but had to do the --ia64 manually in the script as the variable substitution does not work on my server. Renamed the file /data/wre/prereqs/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/Linux/Smaps.pm to Smaps.pm.org. Currently running for about two days and all is well. This is 64bit system. In the weekend going from 7.6 to 7.7.
perlDreamer 1/13/2010 5:20 pm	Latest update is this suggested patch to Apache2::SizeLimit: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/modperl/modperl/100757?do=post_view_threaded Note, however, that the perl maintainers say that the kernel people should fix the problem.

daviddelikat 10/1/2014 2:01 pm	this issue can be resolved by inserting 'use bignum;' at the beginning of '/data/wre/etc/modperl.pl'
