Hi all,
The random seg faults on x86_64 is interesting as I have been getting
random illegal instruction faults on sparc (sun4c) with 2.6.22-rc3. I have
not yet tried to track it down. All I know at present is that it is not a
problem on 2.6.20.9.
Regards
Mark Fortescue.

Very interesting. Any hints as to how to test or how long to wait
before the illegal instructions happen?

Very interesting. Any hints as to how to test or how long to wait
before the illegal instructions happen?

Hi All,
They apear as soon as simpleinit starts up. Somtimes I get to a login
prompt before seeing any. Other times, commands in the simpleinit rc
script fail.
They do apear to be random. If a command failes, you re-run the command
and it is OK. Commands seen to fail are basic (depmod, rm cat ..).
The test I did use the same binaries with both the OK and problem kernels
so it is not a change to the application code, it is definatly a kernel
issue.
Regards
Mark Fortescue.

This sounds like it may be addressed by benh's ptep_set_access_flags()
fixes. Those fixes are still in -mm, hopefully to hit mainline by 2.6.22.

Benh's ptep_set_access_flags() patch needs to be applied in order to get
anyware with sun4c for all kernels >= linux-2.6.15. If not applied, you
will be lucky to get sash running as your init and even that will have
very limitit capabilities before it locks up the processor (power up
reset required).
It has been applied to both the kernels I used for testing so this
problem is independent of the ptep_set_access_flags patch but that
does not mean that it is not a related issue.
I will try to get some testing done over the weekend to narrow down
when the random illegal instructions first occour.
If I start with 2.6.21 then if that is OK, then I should be able to narow
the issue down without too much trouble. If it is between 2.6.20 and
2.6.21 then it will be a right pig as there are a large number of commits
that don't compile for sun4c between these two. What I am hoping is that
it occours in the 2.6.22-rc2 as per the x86_64.
I am going to have to put a 'reset' button onto my test system as power up
resets are bad news on this old hardware and almost all kernel failures
result in a processor lockup. I have even had to make BUG reports 'panic'
as thoes that I have during kernel fault location had are terminal to a
sun4c (they cause a processor lockup).

Sounds like I'll be digging through my hardware stockpiles this weekend
to find a functional sun4c box.

Hi all,
I have been investigating the random invalid instruction occourances on
sparc32 (sun4c) and identified that the problem was introduced
pre-v2.6.22-rc1. v2.6.21 is OK. The first time I have observed the issue
so far is after commit b46b8f19c9cd435ecac4d9d12b39d78c137ecd66:
Increase slab redzone to 64bits.
Prior to this commit there apears to be a problem with the memory
management (depmod -a causes the system to run out of memory!) that may be
masking the issue. As a result of this, I am going to try to find the
'last known good' commit after v2.6.21 to see if this helps narrow down
the cause.
Regards
Mark Fortescue.

Hi all,
I have been investigating the random invalid instruction occourances on
sparc32 (sun4c) and identified that the problem was introduced
pre-v2.6.22-rc1. v2.6.21 is OK. The first time I have observed the issue
so far is after commit b46b8f19c9cd435ecac4d9d12b39d78c137ecd66:
Increase slab redzone to 64bits.
Prior to this commit there apears to be a problem with the memory
management (depmod -a causes the system to run out of memory!) that may be
masking the issue. As a result of this, I am going to try to find the
'last known good' commit after v2.6.21 to see if this helps narrow down
the cause.
Regards
Mark Fortescue.

This sounds like it may be addressed by benh's ptep_set_access_flags()
fixes. Those fixes are still in -mm, hopefully to hit mainline by 2.6.22.

Very interesting. Any hints as to how to test or how long to wait
before the illegal instructions happen?

Ahh. This is fixed (fix by Tejun, confirmed by David), and the fix has
been merged. It's commit bc90ba093a, in case anybody cares.
