I recently noticed, that tabs in Firefox (Debian package 61.0.=
1-1 and 61.0.2
from mozilla.org) started crashing on WebGL usage. The easiest trigger is to
just visit https://maps.gogle.com/
Since I was pointed towards bug 107384, comment #6 on IRC b=
y Michel D=C3=A4nzer and
I see the loader errors as he described on IRC, I'm assuming this is relate=
d. I
can't be 100 % sure, because I'm unable to get a proper backtrace from Fire=
fox
(see below). It doesn't seem to be the same issue though, because using a
libdrm built from Git (f31fd57c60) doesn't fix the crashes for me.
I tried attaching GDB to the content process by launching firefox with:
$ MOZ_DEBUG_CHILD_PROCESS=3D1 firefox -safe-mode
and then running
# gdb /usr/lib/firefox/firefox $PID
where $PID is replaced by the actual PID of the tab process, which firefox
prints on the console when started with MOZ_DEBUG_CHILD_PROCESS=3D1. The
attaching seems to run fine, gdb is loading a bunch of debug information for
all the libraries and Firefox itself. But when I continue from the (gdb)
prompt, I immediately run into an endless stream of SIGSYS errors like
> Thread 1 "Web Content" received signal=
SIGSYS, Bad system call.

Probably the sandbox that prevents this? Sadly I haven't found a way around
that yet. (Any pointers welcome. Maybe it's possible to instrument
libdrm/radeonsi/=E2=80=A6 in a way, that helpful information can be dumped =
somewhere,
when the tab crashes.)
Without GDB the tab just crashes and offers to be closed or reloaded. In the
terminal window where I started Firefox (with a clean profile and in safe m=
ode)
I get the following error:

ice information
