It affects at least mariadb's autopkgtests. Otto, spaking of the issue, I guess Paul will agree, that you can ignore it for now for the mariadb upload to unstable. Regards, Salvatore

Jochen, understanding you correctly there is already an upstream fix which is supposed to addres the issue? Regards, Salvatore
Bug#1036818: linux on armel/armhf: Perl library unable to access get CPU info from /proc/cpu or kstat
Just wondering / guessing: Are the ARM machines on ci.debian.net (ci-worker-arm??-??) physical machines, or are they running on qemu-user VMs? If they run qemu, this bug report https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1024653 might be similiar. If so, then qemu probably needs fixing of the output of /proc/cpuinfo for ARM, e.g. like this: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/commit/e0174afeea23e56765db56fbbe465ed1fcbdd07a Helge
Bug#1036818: linux on armel/armhf: Perl library unable to access get CPU info from /proc/cpu or kstat
Package: linux Version: 6.1.0 Hi! I noticed that the autopkgtests on Debian on armhf and armel that run the mariadb-test-run have been failing since the Linux kernel was updated from 5.10.0 to 6.1.0. The failure is due to a Perl module not being able to get from /proc/cpu the number of processors: Last passing one: 2023-04-28 https://ci.debian.net/data/autopkgtest/unstable/armel/m/mariadb/33218554/log.gz kernel: Linux 5.10.0-21-arm64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.162-1 (2023-01-21) perl 5.36.0-7 libdbi-perl armel 1.643-4 libconfig-inifiles-perl all 3.03-2 First failing one: 2023-05-05 https://ci.debian.net/data/autopkgtest/unstable/armel/m/mariadb/33379866/log.gz kernel: Linux 6.1.0-7-arm64 #1 SMP Debian 6.1.20-2 (2023-04-08) perl 5.36.0-7 libdbi-perl armhf 1.643-4 libconfig-inifiles-perl all 3.03-2 Error: starting mysql-test-tun.pl... Logging: ./mysql-test-run.pl --force --testcase-timeout=120 --suite-timeout=540 --retry=3 -- ... Collecting tests... Installing system database... Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at lib/My/SysInfo.pm line 166. This line 166 in src:mariadb/mysql-test/lib/My/SysInfo.pm has: # Return the number of cpus found sub num_cpus { my ($self)= @_; return int(@{$self->{cpus}}) or confess "INTERNAL ERROR: No cpus in list"; } The cpus is initialized to be an empty list on the line 119: 118 my $self= bless { 119cpus => (), 120 }, $class; Then it tries to fill it from /proc/cpuinfo (line 67) and `kstat` (line 95). If nothing worked it'll create one dummy cpu: 145 push(@{$self->{cpus}}, 146 { 147 bogomips => DEFAULT_BOGO_MIPS, 148 model_name => "unknown", 149 }); See more discussion from MariaDB devs: https://lists.launchpad.net/maria-developers/msg13356.html Thus the primary suspect here is the kernel upgrade. Perl versions have not changed. This only happens on armel/armhf, other archs are fine. Reproducing the environment on ci.debian.net / ci-worker-arm??-?? to study how /proc/cpu etc looks like, so filing this against the Linux package is somewhat of a guess, but at least we get a Bug# to reference for further research.
