RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 1 Tomas Pelka 2016-03-02 10:38:29 UTC
I can reproduce on s390x too -> Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

Comment 2 Tomas Pelka 2016-03-09 17:31:37 UTC
s390x seem to be fine with firefox-45.0-3.el7_2.s390x, arm still segfaulting

Comment 3 Jon Masters 2016-04-12 17:02:51 UTC
Can you provide some information about the test platform? Which machine?

Comment 5 Laszlo Ersek 2016-09-21 21:51:04 UTC
I'm not seeing this (immediate) crash with firefox-45.3.0-1.el7_2.aarch64.

I do encounter the (delayed) crash reported in bug 1358441. For that bug, I think I actually have an analysis (no hard proof or patch yet), so I'll continue there. I originally thought this BZ would be a duplicate, but the stack dump in comment 0 here looks very different, so these two are likely not duplicates.

(OTOH, as I said, I can't see *this* kind of crash at all, so maybe we can close this as WORKSFORME, if it stops reproducing for everyone else too.)

Comment 7 Laszlo Ersek 2016-09-23 02:52:50 UTC
Hi Tomas,

if the question is addressed to me, then I don't understand it. As I wrote in comment 5, I couldn't reproduce this specific kind of crash at all, even with "firefox-45.3.0-1.el7_2".

Regarding "firefox-45.4.0-1.el7_2" (which you linked in comment 6): the fix that I prepared for the other bug 1358441 works well on top of firefox-45.4.0-1, so firefox-45.4.0-1 is certainly a good baseline -- with my build I'm not seeing any crashes at all.


If your question is addressed to the other subscribers of this bug, so that we learn whether firefox-45.4.0-1 reproduces this specific bug for them or not, then sorry for the noise.

Comment 8 Tomas Pelka 2016-09-23 06:39:51 UTC
Yeah I had commented before I read your message till the end, so simply ignore it. 

Sorry for confusion.
