• Add assembly support for -fsanitize=hwaddress tagged globals.

  21 August 2019, by Peter Collingbourne

  Add assembly support for -fsanitize=hwaddress tagged globals.
  As of LLVM r368102, Clang will set a pointer tag in bits 56-63 of the
  
  address of a global when compiling with -fsanitize=hwaddress. This requires
  
  an adjustment to assembly code that takes the address of such globals: the
  
  code cannot use the regular R_AARCH64_ADR_PREL_PG_HI21 relocation to refer
  
  to the global, since the tag would take the address out of range. Instead,
  
  the code must use the non-checking (_NC) variant of the relocation (the
  
  link-time check is substituted by a runtime check).
  This change makes the necessary adjustment in the movrel macro, where it is
  
  needed when compiling with -fsanitize=hwaddress.

• Odd X server error with ffmpeg

  4 November 2013, by jhc

  I am building a weather data acquisition system. One of the things I would like to do would be to animate the satellite data that is arriving every 15 minutes. In fact, I have already devised a script (called animate) that successfully joins eight hours worth of PNG images into an AVI video file. This runs fine when run manually from the terminal.

  Unfortunately, the same cannot be said when run from my (as in my user, not root) crontab.

  Below is the cron job that I mentioned:

  1,16,31,46 * * * * /home/daniella/bin/anim_all > /home/daniella/logs/anim_all.log 2>&1

  anim_all simply calls animate for each distinct data product:

  #!/bin/bash
  
  set -x
  
  cd /home/daniella/data/imager
  
  
  
  rm -rf HRIT_MSG3_*.avi
  
  
  
  animate HRIT_MSG3_CTT
  
  animate HRIT_MSG3_IR108
  
  animate HRIT_MSG3_VIS006
  
  animate HRIT_MSG3_WV062

  And animate itself calls ffmpeg.

  #!/bin/bash
  
  
  
  set -x
  
  cd /home/daniella/data/imager
  
  product=$1
  
  hl="$product.8hl"
  
  
  
  declare -i i=0
  
  for file in $(cat $hl); do
  
      link=$(printf "images%02d.png" $i)
  
      ln -sf $file $link
  
      i=$((i+1))
  
      echo $i
  
  done
  
  
  
  ffmpeg -sameq -r 15 -i images%02d.png $product.avi
  
  rm -rf images*.png

  Just to be clear, the .8hl file is simply a list of PNG file paths that refer to that last 8 hours of data. Since there is new data every 15 minutes, that is a text file with 32 lines. Finally, this is the error that is returned when examining anim_all.log (referred in the crontab) file.

  + animate HRIT_MSG3_CTT
  
  animate: unable to open X server `' @ animate.c/AnimateImageCommand/365.
  
  + animate HRIT_MSG3_IR108
  
  animate: unable to open X server `' @ animate.c/AnimateImageCommand/365.
  
  + animate HRIT_MSG3_VIS006
  
  animate: unable to open X server `' @ animate.c/AnimateImageCommand/365.
  
  + animate HRIT_MSG3_WV062
  
  animate: unable to open X server `' @ animate.c/AnimateImageCommand/365.

  Please note that anim_all works fine, when called manually from the terminal. This error exists only when called by cron. I would imagine that this has to do with environment variables, but I have sourced my .bashrc inside the script to no prevail.

  EDIT -
  Investigating the animate.c file itself (see the full code here), at lines 365-368, there is this:

  if (display == (Display *) NULL)
  
      ThrowAnimateException(XServerError,"UnableToOpenXServer",
  
      XDisplayName(server_name));
  
  (void) XSetErrorHandler(XError);

  In response, I have attempted to export the $DISPLAY variable to 127.0.0.0:0 in the animate script, but this has not worked.
