Got a reproducible crash on amd64:
Thanks for the bug report Adam! I'm looking into the failure, and haven't
been able to reproduce it yet. I've built my kernel from your tree, and
I ran your script with the kernel.tar tarball 100 times, but haven't gotten
a failure yet.
I have a few questions to guide my debugging.
- How many cores are you running with? I’ve run the script with 1, 2, and 4
cores.
- Which version of gcc are you using to compile the kernel? I’m using
gcc-6.2.0-5ubuntu12.
- Are the failures always in exactly the same place, and does it fail 100%
of the time or just regularly?
6 cores -- all on bare metal. gcc-7.1.0-9.
Lemme try with gcc-6, a different config or in a VM.
I've tried the following:
* gcc-6, defconfig (+btrfs obviously)
* gcc-7, defconfig
* gcc-6, my regular config
* gcc-7, my regular config
* gcc-7, debug + UBSAN + etc
* gcc-7, defconfig, qemu-kvm with only 1 core
Every build with gcc-7 reproduces the crash, every with gcc-6 does not.
Got a GCC7 tool-chain built, and I can confirm this here too, tested
with various numbers of cores ranging from 1-32 in a QEMU+KVM VM, with
various combinations of debug options and other config switches.
