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 Jing Huo 2020-12-25 06:28:53 UTC
Description of problem:

run `sadf -x` against specified sadd file dumped core due to segfault 

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

sysstat-11.7.3-5.el8.x86_64

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:

1.install sysstat package on a system with timezone UTC

# yum install sysstat
# date --set=16:00:00
Fri Dec 25 16:00:00 UTC 2020

2.start sysstat service, confirm /var/log/sa/sa25 is created

# systemctl start sysstat
# ls /var/log/sa/sa25
/var/log/sa/sa25

3.Before sysstat-collector.service starts for the first time,
run :

# sadf -x sa25 > sa25.xml
Segmentation fault (core dumped) <==

/var/log/messages:
~~~
sadf[8714]: segfault at 55c93f40afe0 ip 00007fbf5b60659a sp 00007ffcacc91c38 error 4 in libc-2.28.so[7fbf5b4a8000+1b9000]

Process 8714 (sadf) of user 0 dumped core.#012#012Stack trace of thread 8714:#012#0  0x00007fbf5b60659a __memmove_avx_unaligned_erms (libc.so.6)#012#1  0x000055c93daf45eb copy_structures (sadf)#012#2  0x000055c93dac141a logic1_display_loop (sadf)#012#3  0x000055c93dac1f4e read_stats_from_file (sadf)#012#4  0x000055c93dabf337 main (sadf)#012#5  0x00007fbf5b4cb873 __libc_start_main (libc.so.6)#012#6  0x000055c93dabfafe _start (sadf)
~~~

After sysstat-collector.service starts for the first time,
the issue doesn't happen again. 

4.However, if change timezone to Asia/Tokyo before sysstat-collector.service starts for the first time.

# timedatectl set-timezone Asia/Tokyo
# date
Sat Dec 26 01:01:48 JST 2020

At this time, sa26 is created, which has no problem. 
However, `sadf -x sa25` is executed when collecting sosreport, it dumps core during sosreport collection each time.

Actual results:

sadf segfault at 55f14d8e7fe0 ip 00007f61dabc859a sp 00007ffe1d4623c8 error 4 in libc-2.28.so

Expected results:

sadf doesn't dump core
