Issue description - Describe the problem you are having

Hello, I have problems with Snoopy and my PHP installation
Once Snoopy is installed, PHP Apache mod can't load any PHP extension.
When displaying the PHP info page, I see Additional .ini files parsed : (none). I expected to see a list of my extension .ini files

root@web1new-stage-gs:~> snoopy-enable 
SNOOPY: Adding to /etc/ld.so.preload:     /usr/local/lib/libsnoopy.so
SNOOPY: Hint #1: Reboot your machine to load Snoopy system-wide.
SNOOPY: Hint #2: Check your log files for output.
SNOOPY: Enabled.

### No PHP extension anymore

### PHP extensions are back

It works with libapache2-mod-fastcgi, but not with libapache2-mod-php5

I use snoopy 2.4.6, php 5.6.30 with apache mod on debian jessie 8.9 x86_64.

I've got the same problem on 4 servers (Debian 8/Jessie + PHP 5.6 + Snoopy 2.4.6 + Apache 2.4).

Thanks,

Mike

@jibriss @arlin2050 @mikaelmasson do you have any chroot set up for your appache?

Can you produce a LXC (or Docker) container creation instructions to reproduce this? I am using Apache+PHP all the time and I've had zero problems like the ones you are describing.

Bostjan Skufca Jese · Answer 4 · Wed Nov 25 2020 08:03:08 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Since Debian 8 (Jessie) is out of the picture at this point, I tried and I was able to reproduce this on Debian 9 (Stretch).

After using strace (with strace -tt -f -v -o apache2-trace.out apache2 -k start -X command, to run a single process only so simplify things) to get a basic idea about what Apache is doing, I've found a slight difference between no-Snoopy and with-Snoopy runs.

No Snoopy:

# ...(and the pattern repeats for all other .ini files)

The difference during the .ini parsing phase is(are) that added bogus open() call(s), one for each extension:

open("\4", O_RDONLY)

At the moment, I only have a vague theory why this might be happening:

Snoopy's native code doesn't get executed at all as long as the running program doesn't call the execv()/execve() functions.
All Snoopy's symbols (variable names, function names) are prefixed with a snoopy_ prefix, and PHP does not have the word snoopy nowhere in its sources.
However, the ini parsing library is imported into this repository as-is, and thus embedded in the resulting Snoopy's libsnoopy.so as-is too, including all symbols. This could somehow be messing with how PHP (when running inside Apache) calls own ini parsing facilities. If that's indeed the case, I am actually surprised we're not seeing hard crashes.

@jibriss, @arlin2050, @mikaelmasson, the hypothesis above is confirmed.

Temporary workaround:

Building Snoopy with --disable-config-file ~~fixes~~ avoids the issue.

Bostjan Skufca Jese · Answer 6 · Thu Nov 26 2020 06:53:10 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@jibriss, @arlin2050 or @mikaelmasson, if any of you has a few spare cycles to test out the changes ~~from PR #168~~ it's already merged in master now, if they indeed resolve the issue on your side, let me know how it goes.

Branch to use the code from:
https://github.com/a2o/snoopy/tree/master (at commit 2b0b97c or later).
