I set up a dedicated media machine with a fresh 14.3-RELEASE install and latest
ports, tested linux-chrome on Netflix.  It was working fine until I ran
freebsd-update, and it now crashes on startup:

This appears to be limited to certain (possibly older) hardware.  Was there
anything in the FreeBSD 14.3 base updates that would thwart an Intel i3?  I'm
using an old ThinkCentre tiny as a dedicated media machine, because I don't
really want Google chrome on machines I use regularly.  linux-chrome works on
my i5 laptop.

However, as I stated earlier, the failure happens after a FreeBSD base update. 
The latest packages work fine on a fresh 14.3 install before base updates.

The problem has returned on a newer ThinkCentre Ryzen.

Same symptom: Worked fine until I ran freebsd-update.

Problem persisted after upgrading to 15.0-RELEASE.

It seems freebsd-update is doing something that interferes with linux-chrome
execution.

--- Comment #4 from Jason W. Bacon <jwb@freebsd.org> ---
I found a workaround and narrowed down the cause:

As suggested by the error message, permissions are wrong on
/compat/linux/dev/shm after running freebsd-update, but that's not the whole
story.  Permissions on this directory after a fresh linux_base install are
1777, but after the problem arose they are 555.

Running

    chmod 1777 /compat/linux/dev/shm

did not help.  However, completely removing linux_base and /compat/linux, and
reinstalling linux_base, eliminates the problem.

So it appears that something in freebsd-update is corrupting permissions on
/compat/linux/dev/shm along with something else I haven't identified yet.

That means tmpfs is mounted (see /etc/rc.d/linux).

> but after the problem arose they are 555.

tmpfs is not mounted (you see a dir on devfs).

That's possible.  Generally I would notice if one of the normal three linux
mounts was missing, especially over such a long period and multiple reboots,
but there's a chance I overlooked it.

/dev/nda0p2    226G     46G    162G    22%    /
devfs          1.0K      0B    1.0K     0%    /dev
/dev/nda0p1    260M    1.3M    259M     1%    /boot/efi
fdescfs        1.0K      0B    1.0K     0%    /dev/fd
procfs         8.0K      0B    8.0K     0%    /proc
map -hosts       0B      0B      0B   100%    /net
linprocfs      8.0K      0B    8.0K     0%    /compat/linux/proc
tmpfs          7.1G    4.0K    7.1G     0%    /compat/linux/dev/shm
linsysfs       8.0K      0B    8.0K     0%    /compat/linux/sys

I'll see if I can reproduce the issue and keep an eye on the mounts.

In any case, we'll need to figure out how freebsd-update broke it.

--- Comment #7 from Jason W. Bacon <jwb@freebsd.org> ---
This was easy to reproduce...

1. Create new 14.3 VM under VirtualBox
2. Run desktop-installer, select a lightweight WM
3. auto-install-linux_base rl9
4. pkg install linux-chrome
5. Test: Success
6. freebsd-update fetch install
7. reboot
8. Test: Failed

The problem was not that tmpfs wasn't mounted, but that something else was
interfering with it:

Before freebsd-update:

/dev/ada0p2  15225628 12831208 1176372    92%    /
devfs               1        0       1     0%    /dev
fdescfs             1        0       1     0%    /dev/fd
procfs              8        0       8     0%    /proc
map -hosts          0        0       0   100%    /net
linprocfs           8        0       8     0%    /compat/linux/proc
tmpfs          927344        4  927340     0%    /compat/linux/dev/shm
linsysfs            8        0       8     0%    /compat/linux/sys

After freebsd-update:

/dev/ada0p2  15225628 13431032  576548    96%    /
devfs               1        0       1     0%    /dev
fdescfs             1        0       1     0%    /dev/fd
procfs              8        0       8     0%    /proc
linprocfs           8        0       8     0%    /compat/linux/proc
tmpfs         1215284        4 1215280     0%    /compat/linux/dev/shm
linsysfs            8        0       8     0%    /compat/linux/sys
devfs               1        0       1     0%    /compat/linux/dev
fdescfs             1        0       1     0%    /compat/linux/dev/fd
map -hosts          0        0       0   100%    /net

Why devfs is getting mounted on /compat/linux/dev is a mystery at the moment. 
It's not in fstab:

# Device        Mountpoint      FStype  Options Dump    Pass#
/dev/ada0p2     /               ufs     rw      1       1

Unmounting /compat/linux/dev/fd and /compat/linux/dev enables google-chrome to
function again.
