How to patch PHP-FPM binary file

This article describes how to apply our patches for PHP-FPM. First of all, you should download "PHP" archive (Please note that this link will be different for each PHP version). In our case we will use PHP 5.4.45 version:

wget http://nl3.php.net/get/php-5.4.45.tar.gz/from/this/mirror

When download completed, rename, unpack and change its directory:

mv mirror.1 php-5.4.45.tar.gz
tar -zxvf php-5.4.45.tar.gz
cd php-5.4.45/

Then download the following package which contains all the necessary files to apply patches:

wget http://repo.cloudlinux.com/cloudlinux/sources/da/cl-apache-patches.tar.gz
tar -zxvf cl-apache-patches.tar.gz

Before applying CloudLinux patches, please make sure that "liblve-devel" has already been installed into the system:

rpm -qa | grep liblve-devel

liblve-devel-1.3-1.10.el6.cloudlinux.x86_64 If not, please run:

yum install liblve-devel -y

On CloudLinux 7 server - install systemd-devel:

yum install systemd-devel

Apply patch:

patch -p1 < fpm-lve-php5.4.patch

If everything looks fine, please run the following commands to build it (CloudLinux 6):

autoconf 
./configure --enable-fpm
make

CloudLinux 7 requires systemd support:

autoconf
./configure --enable-fpm --with-fpm-systemd
make

When rebuild completed, find a new PHP-FPM binary file:

find . | grep php-fpm

./sapi/fpm/php-fpm To make sure that it contains all our patches run:

strings ./sapi/fpm/php-fpm | egrep "jail|lve"

liblve.so.0 lve_exit init_lve lve_jail_uid destroy_lve lve_enter_flags fpm_lve_enter fpm_lve_leave If everything looks fine, please rename the current PHP-FPM file:

which php-fpm

/usr/local/sbin/php-fpm

mv /usr/local/sbin/php-fpm /usr/local/sbin/php-fpm.old

And copy new one:

cp /root/php-5.4.45/sapi/fpm/php-fpm /usr/local/sbin/

Then you need to restart PHP-FPM service to apply changes and check PHP info page.

It should look as follows:
