Subject: SIGSEGV and SIGILL at malloc/free on ARM926

Hi all,

 I use Openwrt project and the version of musl libc is 1.1.16. 
 I have been experiencing random crashes when running customer's application.
 From the coredump files, the segfault looks like a memory corruption issue. But when I add some malloc and free log, the issues did not occur.
 After analyzing several coredump files, I found that the last bit of cszie in chunk has seemed to be set from 1 to 0.
 This is very strange and I don't have many ideas how to go further.
 Could you please give us some pointers, thanks! I can supply more details as needed.

 This is the unbin and free function from src/malloc/malloc.c.
 224 static void unbin(struct chunk *c, int i)
 225 {
 226         if (c->prev == c->next)
 227                 a_and_64(&mal.binmap, ~(1ULL<<i));
 228         c->prev->next = c->next;
 229         c->next->prev = c->prev;
 230         c->csize |= C_INUSE;
 231         NEXT_CHUNK(c)->psize |= C_INUSE;
 232 }

 450 void free(void *p)
 451 {
 452         struct chunk *self = MEM_TO_CHUNK(p);
 453         struct chunk *next;
 454         size_t final_size, new_size, size;
 455         int reclaim=0;
 456         int i;
 457 
 458         if (!p) return;
 459 
 460         if (IS_MMAPPED(self)) {
 461                 size_t extra = self->psize;
 462                 char *base = (char *)self - extra;
 463                 size_t len = CHUNK_SIZE(self) + extra;
 464                 /* Crash on double free */
 465                 if (extra & 1) a_crash();
 466                 __munmap(base, len);
 467                 return;
 468         }
  ......
 531 }

 Here are some backtraces and memory dump I got.

 1) In this case, the coredump shows that c->prev->next is the error. But from the memory context, the csize of chunk(0x1d12608) should be 0x31, not 0x30.
