[Bug 1894407] Re: linux-tools: can perf be linked against libbfd, maybe statically?

2020-09-10 Thread Jay Freeman (saurik)
(Actually, I'm frustrated enough I'm just going to say it explicitly, rather than indirectly: it looks like you didn't read my comment, as even the thrust of your response--that "it's not just about installing different versions of linux-tools"--isn't something I even hinted at as the reason; the

I not only understood that but explicitly stated as such; not just the reasoning, but also the policy... however, that only applies to dynamic linking: other packages--as I also explicitly demonstrated--link against libbfd statically for this very reason; are you saying that there has been a

[Bug 1894407] [NEW] linux-tools: can perf be linked against libbfd, maybe statically?

2020-09-05 Thread Jay Freeman (saurik)
Public bug reported: The perf tool has an optional dependency on libbfd. Per Debian policy, and due to some situation involving parallel installations of this library, no packages should link dynamically against libbfd. In the past, bugs have been filed to link perf statically against libbfd in

Public bug reported: When an error occurs from mod_python on Saucy (which uses Apache 2.4) there is nothing logged. I have tracked this issue down to the value of APLOG_NOERRNO being incorrect. This value is defined to be (APLOG_LEVELMASK + 1); on Apache 2.2, APLOG_LEVELMASK was 7, but on Apache

Other people experiencing this issue may want to explicitly note the comment on this bug from Stefan (which is now somewhat buried) regarding the potential Xen IRQ misconfiguration in these kernels, and attempt that fix. Unfortunately, my test case is run my business on this system for a day and

In case this is saves anyone's time: the top of those stack traces is garbage. Really, all of those processes are simply blocked in the scheduler: the second from the top entry in all the call stacks is a call to schedule() (which I presume is scrambling the registers enough to confuse the stack

Yes: I'm just telling you that the ? entries at the top of these stacks are all in the scheduler. jbd2 and run-parts are blocked in io_schedule(), and pgbouncer is blocked in do_get_write_access(). Both of those functions are calling into schedule(), and that's what is actually at the top of the

Stefan, I'm not certain what you mean by something not used in the common images. To be clear, I do not even know how to make my own images. That's not to say I'm not certain I couldn't figure it out very quickly, but I never have as I personally do not think that is a good way of using EC2: I

Stefan, To be clear, both Timo and I were using m1.xlarge instances, which are supposed to have four cores. (You mentioned the hardware you were testing on only had two cores, and therefore you weren't getting the same seemingly-bad and probably-should-be-fixed error messages.) Also, that log

Stefan, These stack traces for pgbouncer are all in sys_write(), btw, which is then backed by ext4. Both from what I know about how pgbouncer operates, and from greping through its source code, the only file-backed operation it performs is writing to its log file, which it normally does only once

We are also getting the following error message from the kernel: JBD: barrier-based sync failed on sda1-8 - disabling barriers My theory was that this has to do with the root partition being used as ext4. I do not know much about bundling of AMIs: is this something that is easy for you to
