Description:
pcre2 PKDBUILD was recently changed to include --enable-jit-sealloc. Not only is this experimental, it's incompatible with fork.

Various php scripts use pcre2 with jit enabled by default and fork, such as the tiny tiny rss update daemon.

Here is the upstream bug report:
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78927

The title for the recent pcre2 PKGBUILD change is "Fix pcre-jit errors in PHP 7.4 due to MemoryDenyWriteExecute in system unit".
This is not the correct solution.

php-fpm 7.4 ships with MemoryDenyWriteExecute=true in it's service file. If a user wants to use pcre2 jit then he has to disable this (MemoryDenyWriteExecute=false) in the service file.
If you want to work this by default then you should either patch php.ini to default to pcre.jit=0 or patch php-fpm.service to MemoryDenyWriteExecute=falsen
This task depends upon

PHP 7.4.1 no longer ships with MemoryDenyWriteExecute (and other problematic defaults). I suggest to disable this flag in pcre as PHP crashes regulary atm.

I have put pcre2 10.34-3 into [testing] that fixes the problem for me.

Thank you. Fyi, I've been running pcre2 recompiled without --enable-jit-sealloc for the past week and haven't had a single php crash since then.
