Package: kvmtool Version: 0.20161128-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I have near zero knowledge about lkvm, so I don't know if I do sth. wrong, but this seems to be a bug in lkvm. with a nonexistant .lkvm directory with linux 4.4.83 (from mainline-ppa), on stretch amd64: # lkvm setup test Fatal: Fail to setup /root/.lkvm/test/virt/init strace shows some weird write() calls: open("/root/.lkvm/test/virt/pre_init", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0755) = 3 write(3, "\177ELF\2\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\2\0>\0\1\0\0\0\f\1@\0\0\0\0\0"..., 4294968080) = 114688 close(3) = 0 open("/root/.lkvm/test/virt/init", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0755) = 3 write(3, "\177ELF\2\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0>\0\1\0\0\0\360\10\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 4294980768) = -1 EFAULT (Bad address) write(2, " Fatal: Fail to setup /root/.lk"..., 50 Fatal: Fail to setup /root/.lkvm/test/virt/init) = 50 exit_group(128) = ? +++ exited with 128 +++ Note the length arg to both writes - the first is 0x100000310, the second 0x1000034a0, which looks like some 32/64 bit issue (as in, passing an int for a size_t or so). -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.4.83-040483-generic (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=C (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages kvmtool depends on: ii libaio1 0.3.110-3 ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1 ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.15+dfsg1-4 ii libvncserver1 0.9.11+dfsg-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-5 kvmtool recommends no packages. kvmtool suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
