Just tried neochat on a kern.wxabort=1 machine which causes
$ neochat
QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-kn'
Abort trap (core dumped)
Mar 10 22:06:11 eru /bsd: neochat(28258): mmap W^X violation
Relaxing the sysctl changes things into
# sysctl kern.wxabort=0
kern.wxabort: 1 -> 0
$ neochat
[starting normally]
Mar 10 22:06:55 eru neochat: vfprintf %s NULL in "%s SIMD%d shader: %d inst, %d
loops, %u cycles, %d:%d spills:fills, %u sends, scheduled with mode %s,
Promoted %u constants, compacted %d to %d bytes. "
I know we have a knob for this but I have no idea whether a) neochat
is expected to require W^X and b) this is the way to handle this in
ports.
Running with the diff short-cuts uvm_wxcheck()'s abort as expected and
lets me start neochat with kern.wxabort set.
Feedback? Objection? OK?
