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.

Description Deepu K S 2017-10-05 19:30:13 UTC
Description of problem:
We have some problems with running our software on the newest Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 7.4. 
Our software consists of a rather large amount of executables and dynamic libraries compiled mostly with Intel icpc and Intel ifort compilers.
The problems usually manifest themselves as not a numbers (nan) appearing in various branches of the code.
The latest example fails when built and run on 7.4. However, that same executable (built on 7.4) runs fine on 7.3.

Please see the attached Small reproducer 'tinyfail.tgz' .

The issue seems to be disussed in upstream BZ #21236 and Red BugZilla #1421155
Bug 21236 - NaN generation by optimized math functions
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21236

Upstream conclusion is that ICC violates the ps-abi for x86_64 and there is no fault in glibc. As a workaround, it is suggested to set environment variable LD_BIND_NOW=1 .

However, the workaround doesn't seem to work for all system applications.
The workaround mostly works for the software; however, it does not help with the small repro example which was attached to the request. Equally it makes it impossible to use our version of Python - it either crashes or exits with "unresolved symbol" messages when used under "LD_BIND_NOW=1" environment (we build and distribute Python, and it is built with Intel compilers).

Existing analysis from Intel for the small repro the code lands at some point in the different routines on redhat 7.3 and 7.4:
0x00007ffff7df0984 in _dl_runtime_resolve_avx_slow () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2  (rh7.4)
0x00007ffff7df2070 in _dl_runtime_resolve () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (rh7.3)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4
glibc-2.17-196.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Reproducer 'tinyfail.tgz' attached to the bug.

Actual results:
Software giving NaNs unexpectedly.

Expected results:
No NaN errors.

'tinyfail.tgz', a small piece of code (attached) that illustrates the problem.

The shell script makeSymmetryFinder , which can be found inside the archive I just attached,  (and may need some editing to setup location of the intel compiler in the first line) creates two executables  out of the two C++ files :

./DynamicSF  where the object files are linked dynamically, and ./StaticSF where the same object files are linked statically. The compilation options in the file replicate the options used in our production build.

In our tests we have done the following:
1)            Compiled the code with Intel compiler version :
>/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries/linux/bin/intel64/icpc -v
icpc version 16.0.1 (gcc version 4.4.7 compatibility)
                on the RHEL 6.5 Machine:

>uname -a
Linux ms-rh6-cam2 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Nov 10 22:19:54 EST 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
>cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.5 (Santiago)
>cat /proc/cpuinfo
..
model name      : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2660 v3 @ 2.60GHz

2)            Run on the RHEL 7.4 machine
>cat /proc/cpuinfo
..
model name      : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2660 v3 @ 2.60GHz

>cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.4 (Maipo)

./StaticSF runs as expected and produces
##  6.516050 <<<
While 
./DynamicSF fails on RH7.4 with (however, it works correctly on any other Linux OS, including earlier RHEL versions)
##  -nan <<<

3)The failure can be eliminated if any of the following compilation options is chosen:
a)            optimization –O1 instead of –O2
b)            fp-model is set to e.g. double instead of fast (default) < -fp-model double
c)            intended architecture:  if among the options  to  -ax there is at least one of  CORE-AVX-I,SSE4.2 or AVX

Comment 5 Carlos O'Donell 2017-10-05 20:35:59 UTC
Could you please compile tinyfail.tgz sources and provide the compiled binaries?

Could the customer please try running with LD_BIND_NOW=1?

Comment 6 Deepu K S 2017-10-09 09:16:28 UTC
Created attachment 1336261 [details]
compiled binaries

When you unpack the files on an old machine, in the directory with the files you can do the following to demonstrate that the dynamically loaded executable from Intel 16 produces NAN, and crashes when LD_BIND_NOW is set.

Yours

Comment 7 Florian Weimer 2017-10-09 09:57:08 UTC
The problem here is that libintlc.so.5 is linked incorrectly because it references libc.so.6 symbols, but is not linked against it:

See bug 1377895.  This is a different Intel toolchain bug.  I believe Intel has released a compiler update which resolves this issue.  Switching to the fixed libintlc.so.5 library will resolve the crash without having to recompile any applications.
