Description
IBM Bug Proxy

The -runtime package is supposed to match the bitness of the kernel; the plain systemtap package can be either 32- or 64-bit. In fedora 11 Alpha I could see same status $ yum list | grep "systemtap" systemtap.ppc 0.8-1.fc11 installed systemtap-runtime.ppc 0.8-1.fc11 installed systemtap.ppc64 0.8-1.fc11 fedora systemtap-runtime.ppc64 0.8-1.fc11 fedora Pavan, We've had similar issues with RHEL earlier. The problem here is that on a powerpc machine running 64bit kernel, the userspace is still 32bit. Possibly that is leading to the install of 32bit rpms. One needs to figure out what is the yum/rpm magic (if any) that caused the correct rpms to be installed on EL kernels and make sure that is fixed similarly on FedoraX I believe we can only do two things in systemtap proper to fix this: - put ExcludeArch: into the .spec file to exclude 32-bit ppc from the builds, but we received complaints about that - implement systemtap PR 4037, to make systemtap-runtime natively bi-arch-capable, but that's a fair bit of work So it would be nice if the the distro packaging files were instead changed to include the ppc64 builds of systemtap in ppc64 kernels/distros. Are there additional options? Like .spec-level conflicts? That won't work because there is only one ppc tree, it is used for both ppc64 installs /and/ ppc installs. To exclude the .ppc version would mean that you'd be unable to run systemtap on ppc hosts. ------- Comment From pavan.naregundi.com 2009-11-04 05:43 EDT------- Systemtap is still installing 32bit package on latest Fedora12 rawhide. Did we settle at any workaround for this issue? It turns out that 32-bit systemtap (including staprun/stapio) builds already appear to work correctly on 64-bit kernels, so we're about to close systemtap PR4037. Please check whether this old ppc concern is mooted by actual code behavior. This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping ------- Comment From pavan.naregundi.com 2009-11-20 03:33 EDT------- Ran 32-bit systemtap test on F12-ppc64 and it is running fine. Here are the results for the run, === systemtap Summary === # of expected passes 783 # of unexpected failures 71 # of unexpected successes 8 # of expected failures 205 # of unknown successes 1 # of known failures 5 # of untested testcases 39 # of unsupported tests 4 Also test the 32-bit stap with the patch mentioned in comment #4 of PR4037. Result remained the same. # rpm -qa | grep systemtap systemtap-sdt-devel-1.0-2.fc12.ppc systemtap-1.0-2.fc12.ppc systemtap-runtime-1.0-2.fc12.ppc systemtap-testsuite-1.0-2.fc12.ppc systemtap-debuginfo-1.0-2.fc12.ppc Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
