Subject: 27.2; portable dumper incompatible with 64K pages on aarch64
Date: Fri, 09 Jul 2021 18:38:10 +0200

I am forwarding a bugreport from Fedora, about the portable dumper
causing issues when launching Emacs in a RHEL 8 chroot on aarch64:
(from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1974244)

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
The emacs binary from emacs-nox-27.2-2.fc33.aarch64 cannot start in a chroot on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 because it assumes 4K pages:

openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/bin/emacs-27.2-nox.pdmp", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=10124128, ...}) = 0
read(3, "DUMPEDGNUEMACS\0\0(\304wp;D\330G%\f\265\337\214\264VO"..., 80) = 80
mmap(NULL, 10124128, PROT_NONE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xffff92240000
mmap(0xffff92240000, 6946816, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, 3, 0) = 0xffff92240000
mmap(0xffff928e0000, 90112, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, 3, 0x6a0000) = 0xffff928e0000
mmap(0xffff928f6000, 3087200, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, 3, 0x6b6000) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)

Map offsets and addresses must be a multiple of the page size.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


Unfortunately, I am not really familiar with Emacs' internals to know
how to handle this bug report.

Cheers,

Dan

Thanks.  Can you try the latest master branch and see if this problem
still happens there?

Daniel, could you please look into this?

This was changed in Emacs 28 a couple months ago:

commit 216c65b135c2b0be7e048cdc6683873b03b99b9a
Author:     Lars Ingebrigtsen <larsi <at> gnus.org>
AuthorDate: Sun Mar 28 19:13:00 2021 +0200

    Use a 64KB page size for pdump
    
    * src/pdumper.c (dump_get_page_size): Use a 64KB page size on all
    architectures, as this many vary between systems (bug#47125).

So I think the problem should be fixed now, but it'd be good to get it
confirmed.

This appears to fix this issue. Thanks!

Thanks, so I'm closing this bug report.
