Description of problem: Kernel does not correctly handle certain floating point unaligned data traps. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All kernel versions ever (do you need separate bugzilla for RHEL4?) How reproducible: With the right test program and test data - every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run a program that uses "ldf" instruction from an unaligned address, using update register addressing. 2. Observe register is not adjusted correctly (will always increment by 0x10) Actual results: Wrong updated register Expected results: Additional info: Sent patch to Linus ... should be in hi git tree with commit id 1a499150e4ec1299232e24389f648d059ce5617a as soon as he pulls from my tree.
Created attachment 291782 [details] git commit - has description & patch
Created attachment 292864 [details] testcase $ tar xzf fptest.tgz $ make $ ./try Two "PASS!" lines expected (and you'll get them when running a kernel with patch applied).
I'm going to assign the bug to me..

in 2.6.18-77.el5 You can download this test kernel from http://people.redhat.com/dzickus/el5
Don. Grabbed that 2.6.18-77.el5 rpm and installed on my hp zx2000 workstation. The floating point problem is fixed (my test case passes). But some other stuff in there doesn't play well with the rest of my system as X refused to start. I'm running a fairly pure RHEL5 (no updates) ... so maybe some bits are too old to work with the new kernel?
X server failed to start with 2.6.18-71 on my Hitachi Coldfusion 4s4u.. After reverting patch for bug#240006, the X server works again: linux-2.6-ia64-ioremap-allow-cacheable-mmaps-of-legacy_mem.patch:Bugzilla: 240006 linux-2.6-ia64-ioremap-avoid-unsupported-attributes.patch:Bugzilla: 240006 linux-2.6-ia64-ioremap-fail-mmaps-with-incompat-attributes.patch:Bugzilla: 240006 linux-2.6-ia64-ioremap-rename-variables-to-match-i386.patch:Bugzilla: 240006 linux-2.6-ia64-validate-and-remap-mmap-requests.patch:Bugzilla: 240006 linux-2.6-xen-ia64-make-ioremapping-work.patch:Bugzilla: 240006
The X server needs to be updated. The changes Luming references in comment #10 and the X server changes were made at the same time. I think somebody (ajax perhaps) posted the updated X server rpms on people.redhat.com. - Doug
I also tried upstream 2.6.23-rc8 , get same problem on the hitachi coldfusion 4s4u. So the patch series should have been upstream for a while... Doug, could you please point me a link to the page to test the updated X server. the people.redhat.com/ajax doesn't work.

installed kernel-2.6.18-77.el5, but installing xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-48.32.el5.ia64.rpm ends up error: Failed dependencies: kernel < 2.6.18-60.el5 conflicts with xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-48.32.e l5.ia64
Luming, we currently have xorg-x11-server-1.1.1-48.34.el5 in the xorg-x11-server erratum at http://errata.devel.redhat.com/errata/show/6891. Can you retest with that package and kernel-2.6.18-77.el5 please?
re-checked the kernel packages, found that the box has multiple kernel packages installed, some kernel like 2.6.18-53 and 44 are older than 2.6.18-60.el5... And the rpm installation dependency check seems to require all kernel packages installed >=2.6.18-60.el5. Now I have installed xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-48.32.el5.ia64.rpm , and the X server works with the kernel-2.6.18-77.el5
hello, what's the latest update of this bug?
hello， where can I get kernel-2.6.18-77.el5? thanks !
