Public bug reported: I have several Hardy guests running under KVM on a Jaunty host. All fully patched. Since this recent update "updating upgrade sun-java6-bin 6-16-0ubuntu1.8.04 6-17-0ubuntu1.8.04" we are seeing persistent Java instability on application servers. Crash with SIGSEGV - looking at the hs_err_log files it is happening during Garbage Collection (GC).
Sometimes the crash happens within 20s of booting the JVM othertimes it can be stable for days. I will attach a typical copy of the Hotspot dump below. Here's a summary... # # A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment: # # SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x00007f16e533235c, pid=4111, tid=1104398672 # # JRE version: 6.0_17-b04 # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (14.3-b01 mixed mode linux-amd64 ) # Problematic frame: # V [libjvm.so+0x56135c] VM_Operation (0x0000000040982620): GenCollectFull, mode: safepoint, requested by thread 0x000000004031a800 --------------- S Y S T E M --------------- OS:lenny/sid uname:Linux 2.6.24-24-server #1 SMP Fri Sep 18 16:47:05 UTC 2009 x86_64 libc:glibc 2.7 NPTL 2.7 rlimit: STACK 8192k, CORE 0k, NPROC 2047, NOFILE 1024, AS infinity load average:0.00 0.00 0.00 CPU:total 1 (1 cores per cpu, 1 threads per core) family 6 model 2 stepping 3, cmov, cx8, fxsr, mmx, sse, sse2, sse3 Memory: 4k page, physical 252376k(3140k free), swap 124984k(117308k free) vm_info: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (14.3-b01) for linux-amd64 JRE (1.6.0_17-b04), built on Oct 11 2009 01:08:48 by "java_re" with gcc 3.2.2 (SuSE Linux) time: Wed Jan 27 20:18:14 2010 elapsed time: 2880 seconds ** Affects: sun-java6 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: instability severe -- Hardy sun-java 5 and 6 SIGSEGV during GC https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/513680 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
