Re: broken linuxulator in -current as of Jan 8 17:51:45 CET



Quoting Divacky Roman <xdivac02@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (Mon, 8 Jan 2007 21:15:59 +0100):

I dont have anything like that set... it looks like a bug in kernel/linux_base
because the trace looks like:

Jan 8 18:57:59 witten kernel: linux(1582): open(/lib/tls/librt.so.1, 0x0, 0x0)
Jan 8 18:57:59 witten kernel: linux(1582): open returns error 2

% errno 2
ENOENT 2 /* No such file or directory */

Right, does not exist.

Jan 8 18:57:59 witten kernel: linux(1582): open(/compat/linux/lib/librt.so.1, 0x0, 0x0)
Jan 8 18:57:59 witten kernel: linux(1582): open returns error 0

This is a link to librt-2.3.6.so.

Jan 8 18:57:59 witten kernel: linux(1582): open(/usr/lib/tls/librt.so.1, 0x0, 0x0)
Jan 8 18:57:59 witten kernel: linux(1582): open returns error 2

Right, does not exist.

Jan 8 18:57:59 witten kernel: linux(1582): open(/usr/lib/librt.so.1, 0x0, 0x0)
Jan 8 18:57:59 witten kernel: linux(1582): open returns error 0

Does not exist in /comapt/linux (linux one) but in / (FreeBSD one).


1) the open trace shows REAL path ie. after possible prefixing with /compat/linux
2) the problem is not in existance/nonexistance of the libs, the problem is
that when it opens the right library it doesnt use it and keep searching!

Yes, see my "the question is" below (quoted).

Jan 8 18:57:59 witten kernel: linux(1582): exit_group(127)

ie. it opens the right library but IGNORES it and the iterates through the rest
and then stops on fbsd library saying that its not compatible...

This may not be a _new_ bug in the kernel. We know that we have
problems when a FreeBSD lib has the same name and version as the linux
one. It may be the case that the introduction of a new linux syscall
changes the behavior of some linux userland code. glibc can do this
based upon the osversion.

I dont claim to know whats going on but it worked "yesterday" (lets say
20-40 hours ago) and suddenly it doesnt work and NO MAJOR change happened
in the linuxulator in the time. Those locking changes cannot affect this
behaviour (in fact I tried to backout them).

For the benefit of those not seeing the ICQ discussion: I have a plain
-current as of Dec 28 around, and it shows the same behavior.

The question is: why does it try to load the FreeBSD one, when open
does not error out with the linux one. This is not something which
happens in the kernel, the linux syscalls seem to work just fine.

I dont think we (you :)) commited anything bad to linuxulator but
we definitely DIDNT change the userland part. so it must be in the
kernel.

I'm not convinced that it is in the kernel. It may be in the kernel, or
a sideeffect of a kernel change (addition of a syscal resulting in
different userland behavior).

Bye,
Alexander.
