PostgreSQL 14.11 is not able to identify the postmaster daemon.

[vigneshkumar2016]

PostgreSQL 14.11 runs out on error.
Image: Official Image
Version: 14.11
OS: Debian
OS version: bullseye
Container: yes

PostgreSQL errors out on 14.11
Segmentation fault (core dumped). this is quite strange.

PostgreSQL 14.5, 14.6, 14.0 works just fine.

Seems like the compiler is overshooting on the address space to load postgres.

any help here is much appreciated.

Hi @vigneshkumar2016 ,

It's possible that the issue you're encountering is related to libseccomp.
If that's the case, you might consider updating both libseccomp and docker on the host that's running the containers.
( or just use postgres:14.11-bullseye )

libseccomp

Thanks, this works for me. However the traceback results and coredump looks similar with that of the one which is working and failing. pretty strange to debug. But clearly getting libraries are not getting loaded to the container memory.

Yeah, the seccomp blocks happen at the kernel level, so strace is one of the few tools that shows what's happening and even then it's usually an obscure EPERM in places it shouldn't be and no real indicator that it's actually seccomp blocking it. 😭

Yeah seems like it has to read the XFR register call. but failing to do so.. its not able to identify what to load to kernel. either fails with Segmentation fault. possibly expecting a fix in generic.
