[Bug 1830226] Re: systemtap currently broken in xenial
The version of systemtap in the proposed pocket of Xenial that was purported to fix this bug report has been removed because the bugs that were to be fixed by the upload were not verified in a timely (105 days) fashion. ** Tags removed: verification-needed-xenial ** Changed in: systemtap (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: Fix Committed => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1830226 Title: systemtap currently broken in xenial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemtap/+bug/1830226/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1830226] Re: systemtap currently broken in xenial
Unfortunately, Xenial is so old that neither systemtap nor elfutils will build there without some work, and since Xenial reaches its end of (normal) life in just a few months, I don't think it's worth putting in the time for it. However, I did set up a daily build for elfutils: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-support-team/+archive/ubuntu/elfutils And I updated the daily build for systemtap to depend on that, so the daily systemtap builds should now start using the latest elfutils. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1830226 Title: systemtap currently broken in xenial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemtap/+bug/1830226/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Dan, nice to hear of the nightly-build PPA. If there were one coupled to a fresher elfutils (0.178+), then you'd get a nice combination of new systemtap and auto-downloaded debuginfod content (even for xenial). https://sourceware.org/elfutils/Debuginfod.html -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1830226 Title: systemtap currently broken in xenial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemtap/+bug/1830226/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

In case it's useful to anyone coming to this bug, we do have a daily build of systemtap set up in this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-support-team/+archive/ubuntu/systemtap That is COMPLETELY UNSUPPORTED and may be broken at any time, but may be useful to people wanting to use systemtap in SRU releases. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1830226 Title: systemtap currently broken in xenial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemtap/+bug/1830226/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1830226] Re: systemtap currently broken in xenial
I went and tested the released and -proposed versions of systemtap along with the GA and HWE kernels on xenial. This is what I found: Tests 1 and 2, confirming that current package is broken: Test 1: Xenial 4.4.0-165-generic kernel, Systemtap 2.9-2ubuntu2 Test results: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/MhVhHJHkMT/ We failed to load the trivial hello world probe. As reported. Test 2: Xenial 4.15.0-66-generic #75~16.04.1-Ubuntu HWE kernel, Systemtap 2.9-2ubuntu2 Test results: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/pZYrpHNWCV/ We failed to load the trivial hello world probe. As reported. Tests 3 and 4, with the new package in -proposed: Test 3: Xenial 4.4.0-165-generic #193-Ubuntu GA kernel, Systemtap 2.9-2ubuntu2.1 from -proposed. Test results: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/SGC8wKdS6W/ We successfully loaded the trivial hello world probe. -proposed package fixes issue. Test 4: Xenial 4.15.0-66-generic #75~16.04.1-Ubuntu HWE kernel, Systemtap 2.9-2ubuntu2.1 from -proposed. Test results: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/PnzMknQxqP/ We failed to load the trivial hello world probe. HWE kernels are still broken. While the package in -proposed does solve the problem for the GA 4.4 kernel, this package is still incompatible with the 4.15 HWE kernel, as per Bug 1683876. Another thing that is critical to mention, is that the function signature change that happened because of "mm: replace get_user_pages() write/force parameters with gup_flags" landed in xenial 4.4.0-143 #169 earlier this year. That means if we release the systemtap 2.9-2ubuntu2.1 from -proposed, which requires the above commit from 4.4.0-143 #169 onward, systemtap will then break for all users of xenial 4.4.0-142 and previous, as systemtap 2.9-2ubuntu2.1 would contain the wrong function signature. This would cause regressions if users are using the updated systemtap package with older kernels, but do not wish to upgrade their kernel. Because of this, I will not mark this bug as verified, as this needs more discussion before we go releasing this package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1830226 Title: systemtap currently broken in xenial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemtap/+bug/1830226/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
