Bug 263845: graphics/libglvnd: crashes on armv7 with SIGILL
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=263845
--- Description ---
The following simple program crashes with SIGILL when compiled on armv7 FreeBSD
13:
#include <GL/gl.h>
int main()
{
glGetError();
}
I am compiling with "cc -I/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/include test.c -lGL. My
package version is libglvnd 1.4.0_1 and I've tested this both on native armv7
and in an armv7 jail running on arm64.
The behaviour is extremely strange. I am aware that glvnd does some sort of
dispatch logic to get to the platform's native driver, but this does not match
what I see.
When I try to debug this code, it seems that it is somehow iterating through
the entirety of the the libGL API, only to then crash after having gone through
glWriteMaskEXT. I do not understand what the purpose of this is and it does
not seem to match any code I found in the library.
Digging further into this, it seems that the library is compiled in ARM mode,
but executed in Thumb mode for some reason (wtf). I suspect this might be
because the source file src/GLdispatch/vnd-glapi/entry_armv7_tsd.c uses
".thumb_func" to label the stub entry points, but then they don't get compiled
in thumb mode for some reason.
