Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2005 20:09:03 -0400 From: Mark Schreiber <mark7@alumni.cmu.edu> To: ryan@clutteredmind.org 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

>This library is designed to make it easy to write games that run on Linux,
Win32 and BeOS using the various native high-performance media interfaces,
(for video, audio, etc) and presenting a single source-code level API to
your application.  This is a fairly low level API, but using this, completely
portable applications can be written with a great deal of flexibility.</P

>The library is loaded as a dynamically linked library on its native
platform, and is currently compiled natively for Linux, compiled for
Win32 using a Linux hosted GCC
