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 Petr Muller 2010-06-02 16:35:21 UTC 
Description of problem:

As part of glibc testing for RHEL6, we run the src.rpm testuite too. On i686 and s390x, the box hangs during the execution of the testcase. Actually, the i686 box seems to reboot itself after a while. s390x box stops to respond.

I was tracking which testcase is causing this behavior, and it seems to be nptl/tst-eintr1.

Logs give almost no useful output, except for s390x, which spits this to the console:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# rpm -q glibc
glibc-2.12-1.2.el6.s390x
glibc-2.12-1.2.el6.s390

# uname -r
2.6.32-31.el6.s390x

(the i686 versions are identical)

How reproducible:
seems always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install glibc src rpm
2. rpmbuild -bc  /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/glibc.spec --target=`uname -m`
3. cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/glibc-2.12-2-gc4ccff1/build-s390x-linuxnptl
4. make -k check
5. waaaaait... until the nptl/tst-eintr1 testcase
  
Actual results:
hang

Expected results:
continues

Additional info:

The 'glibc' component is mostly a guess from me. Given the nature of the testcase, I can imagine it being a bug in anything from glibc (ld-linux), gcc/ld (badly built ld-linux), or kernel...
Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2010-06-02 16:46:25 UTC

Comment 2 Andreas Schwab 2010-06-04 08:55:42 UTC 
An unprivileged process crashing the kernel is always a kernel bug.
Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2010-07-15 15:05:16 UTC 
This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker
issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. It has
been denied for the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.

** If you would still like this issue considered for the current
release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on
your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. **

exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
