Description Alexandre Belloni 2023-08-23 22:25:15 UTC
qemu-ppc currently fails, this is probably related to load on the worker and it results in either the RCU stall warning getting triggered or the systemd watchdog firing.

Comment 2 Mikko Rapeli 2023-08-25 06:34:04 UTC
The issues are seen with qemu-ppc at version 8.0.3 and I guess 8.1.0 too from poky master branch.

I guess this problem is not seen on mickledore branch with qemu 7.2.0, kirkstone branch with qemu 6.2.0 or dunfell branch with qemu 4.2.0 ?

Tracked down to the glibc 2.38 in uninative. Fixed by stable updates to glibc's stable branch, probably in memalign. https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky/commit/?id=17351d2a262c444e846c20355f7e29aaad206d71
