Last few days I started evaluating the most recent build which has KPTI/PCID fix.
Thanks to the excellent work done by Joyent. So far I've seen no issue, except the expected performance degradation. But there's one thing that caught my eye. A dozen of our perl scripts which depend on /usr/perl5 now fail to run, for obvious reason described here: https://smartos.org/bugview/OS-6563 put perl on a diet The /usr/perl5 is pretty skinny now. It's so skinny that it's useless. Oh, by the way, I tried to build SmartOS image under the latest, it failed too: Can't locate File/Find.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.12/i86pc-solaris-64int /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.12 /usr/ perl5/5.12/lib/i86pc-solaris-64int /usr/perl5/5.12/lib .) at ./extract-copyright line 25. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./extract-copyright line 25. Our scripts heavily depend on the module Sun::Solaris::Kstat, not sure if there's any easy workaround except reverting the OS-6563 commit. I just finished another build which reverted OS-6563, those scripts work as before, no breakage. Thanks. ------------------------------------------- smartos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/184463/=now Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=25769125&id_secret=25769125-7688e9fb Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
