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.

Reproducable source code showing problem

Description of problem:
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, (struct timespec) does not work.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See attached c file
2. type: gcc monotonic.c -o monotonic
3. execute the produced binary (monotonic) : ./monotonic

Actual results:
the word 'dupe' will fill your screen

Expected results:
a quick silent execution

Additional info:
This is fixed in later versions as i do not have this problem in Fedora 26.

This is likely a kernel or VM configuration/hypervisor issue.

What is the version of your kernel package?  What do “uname -a” and “lscpu” show?

Thanks for the fast reply.  I'm not using a virtual machine; this is just a barebone install.

I'm sorry, but this is not a supported AMD CPU: https://access.redhat.com/articles/65431
