Subject: [PATCH]SDL mprotect() crash fix
(I'm going to throw this patch your way at the suggestion of #SDL --
for some reason, I had some difficulty sending it to the main list
last time, and I go bonkers subscribing to send each email or
patch...)
Currently, when I run SDL applications as non-root using
SDL_VIDEODRIVER=dga, the fbdev fallback mprotect()s read/write the
proper size of mmapped /dev/fb0 (7.5MB), but on framebuffer release
mprotect()s read-only the range by the entire size of my video memory
(128MB), which causes a segfault:
#0 0x002a9a27 in ?? () from /lib/libc.so.6
#1 0x04a63eb6 in SDL_XDGAUnmapFramebuffer (screen=3D0) at XF86DGA2.c:978
#2 0x04a63efc in SDL_XDGACloseFramebuffer (dpy=3D0x9d3f008, screen=3D0)
at XF86DGA2.c:268
#3 0x04a68b57 in DGA_Available () at SDL_dgavideo.c:98
#4 0x04a53677 in SDL_VideoInit (driver_name=3D0xbfb0bfc7 "dga", flags=3D0)
at SDL_video.c:180
#5 0x04a2613f in SDL_InitSubSystem (flags=3D32) at SDL.c:74
#6 0x04a2617c in SDL_Init (flags=3D32) at SDL.c:166
#7 0x08049722 in main (argc=3D1, argv=3D0x0) at testwin.c:32
This is SDL 1.2.8 on Fedora Core 4, radeon driver for a Radeon 9250,
xorg-x11-6.8.2-37.
I've attached a one-line patch against SDL CVS that updates the size
of the framebuffer at framebuffer map time so that the mprotect() on
unmap will be the same size. I'm not sure if this is the best
approach (i.e. one might want to retain the original value), but it
does make my SDL applications work without segfaulting.
-- Best of luck, Mark Schreiber

============================================================================== Using the Simple DirectMedia Layer with MacOS 7,8,9 on PPC ============================================================================== These instructions are for people using the Apple MPW environment: http://developer.apple.com/tools/mpw-tools/ CodeWarrior projects are available in the CWprojects directory. ============================================================================== I. Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer libraries: (This step isn't necessary if you have the SDL binary distribution) First, unpack the MPWmake.sea.hqx archive and move SDL.make into the SDL directory. Start MPW Set the current directory within MPW to the SDL toplevel directory. Build "SDL" (Type Command-B and enter "SDL" in the dialog) If everything compiles successfully, you now have the PPC libraries "SDL" and "SDLmain.o" in the 'lib' subdirectory. ============================================================================== II. Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer test programs: First, unpack the MPWmake.sea.hqx archive, move the new rsrc directory to the main SDL directory, and move the makefiles in the new test subdirectory to the SDL 'test' subdirectory. Start MPW Set the current directory within MPW to the SDL 'test' subdirectory. Build the programs that have an associated MPW makefile (file ending with .make), including "testwin", "testalpha", and "graywin". Copy the SDL library file into the test directory, and run! ============================================================================== III. Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer demo programs: Copy one of the test program Makefiles to the demo directory and modify it to match the sources in the demo. ============================================================================== IV. Enjoy! :) If you have a project you'd like me to know about, or want to ask questions, go ahead and join the SDL developer's mailing list by sending e-mail to: sdl-request@libsdl.org and put "subscribe" into the subject of the message. Or alternatively you can use the web interface: http://www.libsdl.org/mailman/listinfo/sdl ==============================================================================
