This is because Mozilla component system creates an unaligned stack, and gcc assumes the stack is always 16 byte aligned. It's a gcc bug - if it wants to generate the movdqa instruction it should make sure the location is correctly aligned. But we need to work around it in pixman. There are various things that could be done, including requiring gcc 4.2 and make use of the function attribute that makes it emit prologues that align the stack. See also: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=410509 and https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11145 Should be fixed by this commit, which I'll push when freedesktop logins are reenabled. commit d71bfc7777a48edfeb0aee0e3da97ac700a3dc90 Author: Søren Sandmann <sandmann@redhat.com> Date: Thu May 15 01:00:28 2008 -0400 Work around GCC bug causing crashes in Mozilla with SSE2 When using SSE2 intrinsics, gcc assumes that the stack is 16 byte aligned. Unfortunately some code, such as Mozilla and Mono contain code that aligns the stack to 4 bytes. The __force_align_arg_pointer__ makes gcc generate a prologue that realigns the stack pointer to 16 bytes. Fix bug 15693. |

Created attachment 16161 [details] gdb backtrace I'm using mozilla-firefox 3.0 beta5 as provided by gentoo (that is, using xulrunner and system cairo, 1.6.4 in my case). With libpixman from git (as of commit 92ef26dfed3337831dd5156bfe0d20b132a26a29, " Add SSE2 implementations of many compositing operations.") xulrunner segfaults in pixman: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0xa72b529f in fbCompositeSolidMask_nx8x8888sse2 (op=PIXMAN_OP_OVER, pSrc=0x94beca0, pMask=0x94bed40, pDst=0x94bec00, xSrc=3, ySrc=2, xMask=0, yMask=0, xDst=3, yDst=2, width=42, height=42) at /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/include/emmintrin.h:568 568 return __extension__ (__m128i)(__v4si){ __q0, __q1, __q2, __q3 }; Full backtrace (with debug symbols for pixman and cairo) attached.
