We've noticed this while working on the new installer. zsh just hangs and we never reach an interactive shell, this seems to be a problem with zsh itself or grml-zsh-config.

strace w/ grml-zsh-config installed

When uninstalling grml-zsh-config, zsh seems to act normally.

Typing GRML_OSTYPE=$(uname -s) in a zsh shell (without grml-zsh-config) also freezes, so it's either a bug in zsh or one of it's dependencies.

It gets stuck in pause().

With:

  • a powerpc qemu "G4" vm with ArchPOWER
  • a "root.zsh.bad" pacstrap with base zsh grml-zsh-config
  • "set -x" added to root.zsh.bad/etc/zsh/zshrc (comes from grml-zsh-config)
  • a log produced with sudo arch-chroot root.zsh.bad strace --absolute-timestamps=ms --stack-trace --no-abbrev zsh --verbose --xtrace 2>zsh.bad.txt
  • stack trace functions produced with DEBUGINFOD_URLS="https://debuginfod.archlinuxpower.org" gdb zsh and info symbol <address>

00:43:28.943 +++ killed by SIGKILL +++

If I understood correctly:

  1. it spawns a child process to resolve uname -s (pid 5)
  2. reads "Linux\n" from the child stdout (fd 12)
  3. receives a SIGCHLD signal and "resolves" it with wait4? (pid 5 stops existing?)
  4. reads EOF from the child stdout (fd 12)
  5. tries to kill the child (pid 5 no longer exists)
  6. starts waiting for a SIGCHLD signal

The sigprocmask+pause indicates that it is running the POSIX_SIGNALS + BROKEN_POSIX_SIGSUSPEND code.

The build log of the previous zsh package is not available so it is unknown which of these possibilities is correct:

  1. something changed in one of it's dependencies, causing it to start using the current code path
  2. something changed in the zsh code and this particular code path stopped working properly
