c - 带ulimit的段错误-s无限

在linux上，只有ulimit -s设置为unlimited时，我的程序才会崩溃。
segfaults的位置在Libmicrohttpd的连接回调中，因此回溯非常深(大约设置了10个函数)。
我在此回调中首先调用的功能是崩溃的地方，即使只是printf也是如此。这是来自coredump的stacktrace:

如果我将ulimit -s设置为8192，则一切正常。
我习惯于必须增加堆栈大小的错误。
但是，为什么它会在较小的堆栈上工作，而在无限的情况下失败？

编辑:

它绝对与线程有关。简单的例子:

#include <pthread.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

void function(char arg){
  char buffer[666666];

  if(arg > 0){
    memset(buffer, arg, 6666);
    fprintf(stderr, "DONE %p\n", &buffer);
    function(arg - 1);
  }
}

void *thread(void *arg){
  int a;

  fprintf(stderr, "THREAD %p\n", &a);

  function(6);

  return NULL;
}

int main(){
  int i;
  pthread_t p;

  fprintf(stderr, "MAIN %p\n", &i);

  pthread_create(&p, NULL, thread, NULL);

  pthread_join(p, NULL);
}

使用ulimit -s 8192:

$ ./test
MAIN 0x7ffd73f9cc5c
THREAD 0x7fa4d12bfeac
DONE 0x7fa4d121d250
DONE 0x7fa4d117a600
DONE 0x7fa4d10d79b0
DONE 0x7fa4d1034d60
DONE 0x7fa4d0f92110
DONE 0x7fa4d0eef4c0

使用ulimit -s unlimited

$ ./test
MAIN 0x7ffd1438d4dc
THREAD 0x2ab91aef6eac
DONE 0x2ab91ae54250
DONE 0x2ab91adb1600
DONE 0x2ab91ad0e9b0

最佳答案

正如Mark Plotnick解释的那样，问题出在线程的默认堆栈大小上。拥有 ulimit -s无限制可使堆栈大小达到 2MB ，按今天的标准来说很小。

在 __pthread_initialize_minimal_internal()中更仔细地研究pthread代码

 /* Determine the default allowed stack size.  This is the size used
     in case the user does not specify one.  */
  struct rlimit limit;
  if (__getrlimit (RLIMIT_STACK, &limit) != 0
      || limit.rlim_cur == RLIM_INFINITY)
    /* The system limit is not usable.  Use an architecture-specific
       default.  */
    limit.rlim_cur = ARCH_STACK_DEFAULT_SIZE;
  else if (limit.rlim_cur < PTHREAD_STACK_MIN)
    /* The system limit is unusably small.
       Use the minimal size acceptable.  */
    limit.rlim_cur = PTHREAD_STACK_MIN;

  /* Make sure it meets the minimum size that allocate_stack
     (allocatestack.c) will demand, which depends on the page size.  */
  const uintptr_t pagesz = GLRO(dl_pagesize);
  const size_t minstack = pagesz + __static_tls_size + MINIMAL_REST_STACK;
  if (limit.rlim_cur < minstack)
    limit.rlim_cur = minstack;

  /* Round the resource limit up to page size.  */
  limit.rlim_cur = ALIGN_UP (limit.rlim_cur, pagesz);
  lll_lock (__default_pthread_attr_lock, LLL_PRIVATE);
  __default_pthread_attr.stacksize = limit.rlim_cur;
  __default_pthread_attr.guardsize = GLRO (dl_pagesize);
  lll_unlock (__default_pthread_attr_lock, LLL_PRIVATE);

pthread_create(3)的手册页仅提及Linux/x86-32的默认堆栈大小，但以下是glibc 2.3.3及更高版本中其他体系结构的值( ARCH_STACK_DEFAULT_SIZE ):

Sparc-32:2MB

Sparc-64:4MB

PowerPC:4MB

S/390:2MB

IA-64:32MB

i386:2MB

x86_64:2MB

我已经向手册页提交了补丁，以包含此信息。再次感谢您在调查此问题方面的帮助。
