Bug report

Bug description:

Multiple tests in test_posix for posix_spawn and posix_spawnp functionality are failing on NetBSD with stack limit-related assertions in the spawned processes. All failing tests show child processes exiting with code -6 (SIGABRT).

Environment

CPython version: 3.14.0a6+ (heads/main:557d2d20d48, Mar 23 2025)
Platform: NetBSD-10.0-amd64-x86_64-64bit-ELF little-endian
Build Flags: --with-debug

Tests

./python -m test test_posix -m TestPosixSpawn -m TestPosixSpawnP -v

Output:

─./python -m test test_posix -m TestPosixSpawn -m TestPosixSpawnP -v

stack_size=4194304, guard_size=1048576, stack_addr=0x7f7fff6b2000, here_addr=0x7f7fff6dcc70

guard_size is quite big, it's 1 MiB.

>>> stack_addr = 0x7f7fff6b2000
>>> here_addr = 0x7f7fff6dcc70
>>> guard_size=1048576
>>> base = stack_addr + guard_size
>>> c_stack_soft_limit = base + 4096*8 * 2
>>> c_stack_soft_limit < here_addr
False

Would changing the value of PYOS_STACK_MARGIN help?

@serhiy-storchaka

No, changing PYOS_STACK_MARGIN does not help.

The difference between here_addr and base varies in a wide range -- from about -5_000_000 to 15_000_000. It can be negative or exceed stack_size by far. stack_addr is often repeated from test to test, but here_addr varies in a wide range. If any of these values was completely random, we would expect a wider ranger (in full 64 bits), so there must be some relation between them, but it differs from expected.

Note that there was a bug in handling the guard area which was fixed only recently (see https://gnats.netbsd.org/57721). It is possible that there are other bugs left.

In any case, until we find the root of the issue (being it our misuse or the NetBSD bug), PR #131625 looks like a correct workaround.
