Comment 1 Ross Burton 2013-04-04 17:05:29 UTC

Richard had a hunch that this was fixed by http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=e6149ec6c4c14d3a939022cdc29ac94dced836dd, so I've merged that to danny-next.

Comment 2 Ross Burton 2013-04-30 12:04:22 UTC

Re-opening - that patch was x86_64-specific and we saw it again last night:

http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org:8011/builders/nightly-x86/builds/124/steps/Running%20Sanity%20Tests/logs/stdio


CCing Darren for any insight as he solved this on x86-64.  Is the same patch good for x86, or is it x86-64 specific?

Comment 3 Darren Hart 2013-05-01 18:39:21 UTC

We applied that patch to x86_64 only because that was the only place we saw the failure. It should apply fine to x86 as well. However, ab06 is running a 3.8 kernel, as opposed to the 2.6.37 kernel running on the previous ABs exhibiting the failure on x86_64.  It's possible this bug is still around and just really hard to hit on x86 and new kernels (fun).

How reproducible is this?

Comment 4 Ross Burton 2013-05-03 10:16:41 UTC

It's not very reproducable, this is the first one I've noticed for a while.

Comment 5 Ross Burton 2013-05-07 15:56:54 UTC

Confirmed with Darren that it's the paravirt code that's crashing.  Patch sent to master to disable PV on qemux86 too.

Comment 6 Ross Burton 2013-05-08 11:37:22 UTC

This has been merged to all branches now.
