Description Joe Orton 2006-08-02 07:35:40 UTC

Description of problem:
Fresh rawhide install from July 31st-ish; booting the 2.6.17-1.2488.fc6xen
kernel on a P3, there is an absolutely *huge* amount of dmesg spam.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@trash ~]# rpm -q kernel-xen
kernel-xen-2.6.17-1.2488.fc6

[root@trash ~]# grep -c 'messages suppressed' /var/log/messages
8661
[root@trash ~]# grep -c '4gb seg fixup' /var/log/messages
8671
[root@trash ~]#
[root@trash ~]# dmesg | tail
printk: 824 messages suppressed.
4gb seg fixup, process pcscd (pid 1915), cs:ip 73:0018eff2
printk: 485 messages suppressed.
4gb seg fixup, process pcscd (pid 1915), cs:ip 73:0018eff2

Comment 1 Juan Quintela 2006-08-02 19:48:24 UTC

This can only happens with a very old libc.  And both sshd & pcscd.
It looks as if your ld.so is very confused.  Please, send the output of:

/proc/1915/maps

where 1915 are the pid's of the process that are giving you trouble.

Comment 2 Joe Orton 2006-08-03 08:31:21 UTC

This is a fresh Raw Hide install as I said, so the *age* of glibc cannot be an
issue.

But this box seems to have the .i386 glibc installed rather than the .i686 one
and I presume that would also explain the problem.  I'll reassign to anaconda.

Comment 3 Joe Orton 2006-08-03 08:32:51 UTC

Something is pretty odd here.

jorton@trash:~$ rpm -q glibc openssl
glibc-2.4.90-15.i386
openssl-0.9.8b-4.1.i686

Comment 4 Jeremy Katz 2006-08-03 13:59:00 UTC

This might actually be fixed by a fix I committed to upstream yum the other day,
but it's probably worth double checking once we have yum 2.9.4 in a tree

Comment 5 Joe Orton 2006-09-13 08:13:45 UTC

anaconda seems to DTRT now, thanks.  But an @Everything install is still getting
a whole lot of "seg fixup" spam with the xen kernel.

jorton@trash:~$ rpm -q kernel glibc
kernel-2.6.17-1.2630.fc6.i686
glibc-2.4.90-29.i686
jorton@trash:~$ uname -a

printk: 529161 messages suppressed.

Comment 6 Jeremy Katz 2006-09-22 04:09:27 UTC

Some apps do TLS bits themselves and so trigger the need for the fixup
