Bug#1019855: Fwd: libc6: immediately crashes with SIGILL on 4th gen Intel Core CPUs (seems related to AVX2 instructions), bricking the whole system

2022-10-04 Thread debian-bug-report
Is there an easy way to unbrick a system affected by the issue? such as a kernel-line option or a configuration file in /etc? I don't see how I can set a GLIBC_TUNABLES environment variable for the whole system. I was trying during my testing to set such option globally somehow, but failed,

Now that we understood the bug, I actually find strange that the microcode update is fixing this, it looks like that the BMI2 instructions support has been added in a microcode update. Would it be possible to give the output of /proc/cpuinfo with and without the microcode update applied? The

I can confirm updating the microcode by installing the intel-microcode package and rebooting does indeed mitigate this issue. An LXC container that was previously bricked due to update now starts and seems to behave fully normally. [0.00] microcode: microcode updated early to revision

Hello, sorry for delayed response, I've managed to collect and analyze a few coredump files with valid symbols (I installed libc6-dbg and dpkg-dev, and pointed gdb at Debian's debuginfod server, also used apt-get source to get the sources for libc6). It seems there are at least 3-4 distinct

Package: libc6 Version: 2.31-13+deb11u4 Severity: critical Dear Maintainer, After an upgrade to version +deb11u4 on my system running Haswell (4th gen Intel Core) CPU, most of the programs including bash or dpkg are immediately crashing with SIGILL. The problem seems to be caused/ related to
