Don't call jl_errorf() when we're early in bringup
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When calling `jl_error()` or `jl_errorf()`, we must check to see if we
are so early in the bringup process that it is dangerous to attempt to
construct a backtrace because the data structures used to provide line
information are not properly setup.

This can be easily triggered by running:

```
julia -C invalid
```

On an `i686-linux-gnu` build, this will hit the "Invalid CPU Name"
branch in `jitlayers.cpp`, which calls `jl_errorf()`.  This in turn
calls `jl_throw()`, which will eventually call `jl_DI_for_fptr` as part
of the backtrace printing process, which fails as the object maps are
not fully initialized.  See the below `gdb` stacktrace for details:

```
$ gdb -batch -ex 'r' -ex 'bt' --args ./julia -C invalid
...
fatal: error thrown and no exception handler available.
ErrorException("Invalid CPU name "invalid".")

Thread 1 "julia" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

To prevent this, we simply avoid calling `jl_errorf` this early in the
process, punting the problem to a later PR that can update guard
conditions within `jl_error*`.
