Re: 2.6.5rc2 panics on ss5/110



In-Reply-To: 20040331161006.GA13251

I got the same error yesterday, booting 2.6.6 on a ss20.
Got around it with this patch:

The "%llu" was causing the oops somehow...
Later I got another oops from the same area during poweroff:

Sure enough, proc_id_stat uses %llu too. But from the vsnprintf code I
can't see anything wrong with the handling of it.
BUT, I do have CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE set.

My compiler:
$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-linux/3.3.3/specs
Configured with: ../src/configure -v --enable-languages=c,c++,java,f77,pascal,objc,ada,treelang --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/3.3 --enable-shared --with-system-zlib --enable-nls --without-included-gettext --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-debug --enable-java-gc=boehm --enable-java-awt=xlib --with-cpu=v7 --enable-objc-gc sparc-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3.3 (Debian 20040422)

Let me know if you get any further with this. I think I'll first turn
off CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. If that doesn't do it, I'll guess I'll
try an older compiler...

Here's the patch of code in vsnprintf:
f00bb118:       80 a1 60 4c     cmp  %g5, 0x4c
f00bb11c:       12 80 00 09     bne  f00bb140 <vsnprintf+0x4fc>
f00bb120:       80 a1 60 6c     cmp  %g5, 0x6c
f00bb124:       94 10 20 08     mov  8, %o2
f00bb128:       92 10 00 1b     mov  %i3, %o1
f00bb12c:       40 00 0e eb     call  f00becd8 <__memcpy>
f00bb130:       90 07 bf f0     add  %fp, -16, %o0
f00bb134:       d4 1a 00 00     ldd  [ %o0 ], %o2
f00bb138:       10 80 00 2b     b  f00bb1e4 <vsnprintf+0x5a0>
f00bb13c:       b6 06 e0 08     add  %i3, 8, %i3

                if (qualifier == 'L')
                        num = va_arg(args, long long);
                else if (qualifier == 'l') {
                        num = va_arg(args, unsigned long);
                        if (flags & SIGN)
                                num = (signed long) num;
                } else if (qualifier == 'Z' || qualifier == 'z') {

I'm curious about the 8 on line f00bb124. It is okay for long long
(which is what we use), but I think unsigned long is only 4 bytes
on sparc32. And there is no bne after the cmp on f00bb120. Odd...
