Package: glibc
Version: 2.19-18+deb8u6
This bug is related to :
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=800574
The following patch was applied to disable hardware lock elision (HLE)
on some Haswell and Broadwell CPUs :
https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-glibc/glibc-package/branches/glibc-branch-jessie/debian/patches/amd64/local-blacklist-for-Intel-TSX.diff?view=markup&pathrev=6644
The Patch was from Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <h...@debian.org>
This bug seems still present on Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2603 v4.
I had troubles to install Eaton Intelligent Power Protector : always
resulting in crash (SIGSEGV). I didn't have the problem on different
hardware.
I guess eaton IPP is not very well coded.
I added the model and stepping of my CPU in
sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/init-arch.c recompiled the package and my
problems disappeared.
I'm a newbie and have trouble to understand the process of making a
patch, sorry ....
What i did :
apt-get source glibc
Modified the following file : (addition in bold and red)
sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/init-arch.c (from line 192 to 197)
if (kind == arch_kind_intel && family == 6 &&
((model == 63 && stepping <= 2) || (model == 60 && stepping <= 3) ||
(model == 69 && stepping <= 1) || (model == 70 && stepping <= 1) ||
(model == 61 && stepping <= 4) || (model == 71 && stepping <= 1) ||
*(model == 79 && stepping <= 1)**||* (model == 86 && stepping <= 2) ))
__cpu_features.cpuid[COMMON_CPUID_INDEX_7].ebx &= ~(bit_RTM | bit_HLE);
rebuilt the glibc package, reinstall .deb and rebooted.
