SEGV crash with externally encoded large maps from port/NIF thread
Describe the bug
BEAM crashes when a thread sends a large (>128 keys) map externally encoded using e.g. erl_drv_send_term
The problem is that commit 184634a works around having no process by assuming there is a scheduler. For threads created with erl_drv_thread_create or similar this is not true.
To Reproduce A trivial port program that simply echoes a received term back to the calling process is attached.
Compile the driver with the appropriate flags for your system, t.ex.
gcc -c -fPIC -I/usr/local/otp_25.3/lib/erlang/usr/include -Wall -fno-common -o sigsegv_drv.o sigsegv_drv.c
cc -bundle -flat_namespace -undefined suppress -o sigsegv_drv.so sigsegv_drv.o
Compile the test module
erlc sigsegv_drv.erl
Verify the basic functionality of the test program
sigsegv_drv:go(128).
Reproduce the fault
sigsegv_drv:die().
Expected behavior BEAM does not crash. Test program prints "I DID NOT DIE!"
Affected versions OTP-23.3.4.15+ OTP-24.3.4.2+ OTP-25.1+ OTP-26+
