Description Chris Feist 2007-11-08 22:12:30 UTC 
Rpm install on ppc fails due to missing symbol (__clean_user)
Comment 1 Chris Feist 2007-11-08 22:13:33 UTC 
Settings ack for inclusion in 5.1.z stream.
Comment 2 Robert Peterson 2007-11-09 03:39:10 UTC 
Reassigning to Chris at his request.
Comment 3 Chris Feist 2007-11-09 19:13:11 UTC 
Updating to urgent to get z-stream ack.
Comment 6 Chris Feist 2007-11-20 21:21:01 UTC 
This needs to be fixed in the kernel rpm.

__clean_user needs to be added to the ppc kernel whitelist (as it is already on
the x86_64 & x86 whitelists).  We're currently working around the issue in 5.1,
but it should be in 5.2 if at all possible.
Comment 7 Chris Feist 2007-11-27 18:40:14 UTC 
The actual symbol is __clear_user (not __clean_user), I've updated the bug subject.
Comment 10 Don Zickus 2008-03-07 22:13:57 UTC 
in kernel-2.6.18-73.el5
You can download this test kernel from http://people.redhat.com/dzickus/el5
Comment 12 Mike Gahagan 2008-04-02 20:24:12 UTC 
verified __clear_user is being exported on ppc and I could install the
2.6.18-88.el5 kernel rpm without issues.
