The replacement fix (41aacc1 "x86 get_unmapped_area: Access mmap_legacy_base through mm_struct member") will appear soon in Ubuntu kernels: Saucy - from v3.11-rc7 which includes 41aacc1 Raring - after 41aacc1 lands in the next 3.8-stable version Quantal - after 41aacc1 lands in the next 3.5-stable version Precise - after 41aacc1 lands in the next 3.2-stable version
For the record, (df54d6f "x86 get_unmapped_area(): use proper mmap base for bottom-up direction") was NOT actually applied to 3.8 or 3.5 stable. For Ubuntu kernels, only Saucy's v3.11-rc6 pre-release kernel is affected by the bug. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1215665 Title: With Kernel 3.11RC6 Ubuntu servguide PDF compile crashes Status in The Linux Kernel: In Progress Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I often run the current release candidate (RC) on a 12.04 server computer. When compiling any non-english PDF version of the Ubuntu server guide, one of the programs crashes (and creates a log, which I will attach shortly, but summary below). While it has been a very long time since I tried to compile a non-english PDF serverguide, I did more work to narrow down the issue: Kernel: Ubuntu 3.11 RC5 = No Problem (actually, all tested kernels <= 3.11 RC5) Kernel: Kernel.org 3.11 RC5 = No Problem Kernel: Ubuntu 3.11 RC6 = Problem Kernel: Kernel.org 3.11 RC6 = Problem Someone else has reported the same issue ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2168771 ) # # A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment: # # SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x00002b6061972239, pid=2950, tid=47114532034304 # # JRE version: 6.0_27-b27 # Java VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (20.0-b12 mixed mode linux-amd64 compressed oops) # Derivative: IcedTea6 1.12.6 # Distribution: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, package 6b27-1.12.6-1ubuntu0.12.04.2 # Problematic frame: # J java.lang.String.charAt(I)C # # An error report file with more information is saved as: # /home/doug/sguide-1310/cg01/hs_err_pid2950.log # # If you would like to submit a bug report, please include # instructions how to reproduce the bug and visit: # https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-6/ # Aborted (core dumped) make: *** [serverguide-pdf] Error 134 doug@s15:~/sguide-1310/cg01$ cat /proc/version_signature cat: /proc/version_signature: No such file or directory doug@s15:~/sguide-1310/cg01$ doug@s15:~/sguide-1310/cg01$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS Release: 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/1215665/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
