#7196 Please consider kernel update on builders to fix brk bug on POWER
Closed: Fixed 5 years ago Opened 6 years ago by fweimer.

On POWER, brk sometimes succeeds without mapping memory, leading to crashes:

Note that the bug is in the running (host) kernel, not the kernel headers in the buildroot.

This currently prevents glibc builds from completing. We do not have any Fedora glibc work we need to complete urgently, but I'd appreciate if fixed kernels could be installed by mid-December.


Please provide the actual minimum NVR kernel that fixes the problem

It depends on the branch. From the Bugzilla bug:

  • kernel-4.13.16-302.fc27
  • kernel-4.13.16-202.fc26

@fweimer We are having a infra update this week which will resolve this issue.
