Hello,

I'm investigating a native memory leak in my company's Java web
application.  We are running a 32-bit JVM, version java-1.8.0_112.i586, on
64-bit CentOS 6.5 servers.

I was hoping to use jemalloc to do profiling of the memory usage to
identify the leak.  I am trying to use libunwind (1.1) with jemalloc, but
invariably upon starting up the application I get a segfault in the same
function (access_mem) of libunwind:

Stack: [0x61761000,0x617b2000],  sp=0x617ad740,  free space=305k
Native frames: (J=compiled Java code, j=interpreted, Vv=VM code, C=native
code)
C  [libunwind.so.8+0x2d78]  access_mem+0x38
C  [libunwind.so.8+0x20e2]  _ULx86_is_signal_frame+0x52
C  [libunwind.so.8+0x3668]  _ULx86_step+0x68
C  [libunwind.so.8+0x221f]  backtrace+0x9f
C  [libjemalloc-matt.so+0x2e74c]  je_prof_backtrace+0x2c
C  [libjemalloc-matt.so+0x8dfc]  malloc+0x37c
C  [libnet.so+0xf14d]  Java_java_net_SocketInputStream_socketRead0+0xed

I have several hs_err_pid files (error logs from the JVM when it crashes),
and several accompanying core dumps.  They always point at line 150 of
x86/Ginit.c:

(gdb) l x86/Ginit.c:150
145    {
146      /* validate address */
147      const struct cursor *c = (const struct cursor *)arg;
148      if (c && c->validate && validate_mem(addr))
149        return -1;
150      *val = *(unw_word_t *) addr;
151      Debug (16, "mem[%x] -> %x\n", addr, *val);
152    }
153  return 0;
154 }

Both jemalloc and libunwind were built from source on a 32-bit CentOS 6.5
virtualbox VM.  They are running on a 64-bit CentOS 6.5 virtualbox VM.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance!
Matt
