Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV), code 2 (SEGV_ACCERR) on x86_64

[naqvitalha]

Bug Description

👋 We've been trying Hermes v1 in the Shopify app and we're very happy with the performance improvements! We're however running into random crashes when we run the app inside an emulator in x86_64 environment (basically linux machines where CI checks run). ARM is totally fine.

This is the log we get:

libc    : Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV), code 2 (SEGV_ACCERR), fault addr 0x76fcb4f66000 in tid 10790 (le.uiautomation), pid 10790 (le.uiautomation)

The crash's origin is not libhermes however, it only happens with changes made to enable v1. It doesn't happen at a specific point, it's very random and sometimes it doesn't happen at all. I haven't been able to repro it outside the application.

• [x] I have run gradle clean and confirmed this bug does not occur with JSC
• [x] The issue is reproducible with the latest version of React Native.

Hermes git revision (if applicable): 250829098.0.4 React Native version: 0.83.1 OS: Android Platform (most likely one of arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86, x86_64): x86_64

Steps To Reproduce

We're still looking into it but decided to raise an issue incase there's a known workaround.

The Expected Behavior

No crashes

Sorry, there is nothing to go on by. Stack trace at least.

[naqvitalha]

Sorry about that. Here's some additional info that might be useful:

We also see a warning when the app launches:

Interesting. There are some hints here. This could possibly be an incompatibility between Boost.Context and Android's GWP-ASan. The latter tries to record a stack trace and may get confused by the fiber context.

However I also noticed that this stack trace has a different error - SIGSEGV? Also, can you symbolicate it?

[tmikov]

@naqvitalha can you apply https://github.com/facebook/hermes/pull/1874 and test?

[naqvitalha]

@tmikov If it's not too much trouble, will it be possible to get a revision that I can swap in the app? We're on 250829098.0.4 right now. Since this only happens on CI, I've been struggling with getting build from source to work there. Let me know!

[tmikov]

Sorry, there is no practical way for me to provide a binary build for you. But I created a branch https://github.com/facebook/hermes/tree/hermes-v250829098.0.4-try-fixcontext with the fix applied on top of v250829098.0.4.

I am not really an expert in building RN projects, but perhaps https://reactnative.dev/contributing/how-to-build-from-source#update-your-project-to-build-from-source can help.
