[Bug 859473] Re: CI kernels causing many "Illegal Instruction"s
I've tried to reproduce this, but l-m-c is failing for me:
$ sudo linaro-media-create --rootfs ext2 --mmc /dev/sde --dev panda --hwpack ~/Downloads/hwpack_linaro-omap3_20111007-0028_armel_supported.tar.gz --binary ~/Downloads/nano-n-tar-20111005-1.tar.gz --hwpack-force-yes
...
Writing inode tables: done
Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done
This filesystem will be automatically checked every 25 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
cp: cannot stat `/tmp/tmpKxd3zn/binary/usr/lib/u-boot/omap4_panda/u-boot.bin': No such file or directory

This is exactly like bug 842421, but that was reported to be a hwpack
that was too new for the l-m-c, and I get this with lp:linaro-image-
tools tip (as well as the version from the ppa, and a few other versions
I tried). Boo! :(

Title:
CI kernels causing many "Illegal Instruction"s
Status in LAVA Validation Lab:
Invalid
Status in LAVA Automated Testing Framework:
Invalid
Status in Linaro CI:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Recently there have been lots of validation failures for kernels from
CI.
These failures manifest as "Illegal Instruction" errors all over the logs
(not just during tests, but booting as well.)
It seems that the kernel is causing a lot of SIGILLs, but we don't know
why yet.
To reproduce
------------
Combining
http://ci.linaro.org/kernel_hwpack/omap3/hwpack_linaro-omap3_20111007-0028_armel_supported.tar.gz
http://snapshots.linaro.org/11.05-daily/linaro-nano/20111005/1/images/tar/nano-n-tar-20111005-1.tar.gz
with linaro-media-create (--rootfs ext2) should give you an image that
shows the problem.
Information wanted
------------------
There are currently two things that we would like more information on to try
and narrow down the cause of the problem.
1) A core file from a crashing application
To get this
Create the image as described above
Boot in to it
Run "ulimit -c 1024"
Run "hwclock"
Watch it crash with "Illegal Instruction (core dumped)"
Get that core from the filesystem.
2) Test a defconfig build
If this succeeds then it suggests a problem with the way that the kernel is
being built on ci.linaro.org.
To do this
Get the tip of linus' tree
Build with omap2plus_defconfig
Boot the resulting kernel
If that shows no SIGILL problems, then try a cross-build from an x86
host.
If neither of those show problems then we can concentrate on
ci.linaro.org.
