I'm build pcre2 without "--enable-jit-sealloc" and it works without errors!
https://bugzilla.suse.com/attachment.cgi?id=820598
Please see what has changed, is jit compiled at all, and if so, in which directory?

Actually the fallback does still happen, the difference is just that now a warning is printed. The
preg_match() call succeeds in either case though.

I have now landed an initial improvement in https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/1d6e9da7433bddca5c591ef5b2eeef9c410543bb.
It provides a more explicit error message, pointing people to either fix their security restrictions
or set pcre.jit=0. It also disables the JIT, so this is not going to be printed for every regex like
the current warning is.

We might want to change this to happen completely silently though.

It might work. But if there is some restriction in place that prohibits WX mmaps, then that
won't help either.

Does something have to change if I rebuild pcre2 without option "--enable-jit-sealloc" and
rebuild php with this?
I am now waiting for the building to complete.

this bugreport here was the reason that i opened https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78631 last night

things like https://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2453 as
well as the summarized changelog from fedora pcre2-10.33 for me are questioning if cherrypicking
alone scales

than that fallback simply happen in pcre itself and for some reason not in pcre2

mod_security uses pcre_jit too, had an issue some years ago and was forced to rebuild it without to
prevent some specific crashes and it shares the MemoryDenyWriteExecute=yes

> then people may not get good performance, but at least code will work

not sure if that's the best thing to do, i would have preferred a one time startup warning
because in that case while trying out "MemoryDenyWriteExecute=yes" i would have reverted
it which will happen now :-)
