Package: libc
Version: 2.3.1-16
Seen on sparc64 SMP only. sparc64 UP does not exhibit.
grep triggers a bug in ld-linux.so that seems to be caused by a compiler
error. This inhibits proper booting, and this was a new install
(bootstrapped 3.0 then dist-upgrade from Sarge CDs) on a box without
network connectivity, but here are the salient facts:
In the function _dl_debug_state_internal, at offset 7000cfbc (this is
the relocated offset), SIGILL is generated on a "nop" instruction that
follows a "restore". I'm not an expert on SPARC assembly so I don't
know why it is only triggered when running under SMP, but it doesn't
happen otherwise. Repeatable with Debian-packaged
kernel-image-2.4.19-sparc64-smp and -2.4.21-. Does not occur with the
corresponding UP kernels.
I did not do anything like an exhaustive test but the only program I
noticed that was so affected was grep.
Upgrading libc6, libc6-sparc64, et al. to 2.3.1 fixed the problem.
