Hello. Together with Dmitry (ldv) , we've discovered that running test suite from strace produces kernel OOPS, when kernel is compiled with gcc 7.1 or with gcc 7.2 , but not with gcc 6 : $ git clone https://github.com/strace/strace.git ttip:~/strace$ ./bootstrap ttip:~/strace$ ./configure && make -j ttip:~/strace$ cd tests-m32 && make mq ttip:~/strace/tests-m32$ ./mq Killed kernel log: [ 61.839563] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference [ 61.839649] tsk->{mm,active_mm}->context = 000000000000040e [ 61.839686] tsk->{mm,active_mm}->pgd = fff8004099e06000 [ 61.839721] \|/ ____ \|/ [ 61.839721] "@'/ .. \`@" [ 61.839721] /_| \__/ |_\ [ 61.839721] \__U_/ [ 61.839879] mq(937): Oops [#1] [ 61.839909] CPU: 10 PID: 937 Comm: mq Not tainted 4.13.0-rc5-00009-gfcd07350007b #412 [ 61.839958] task: fff80040968ed940 task.stack: fff800409c26c000 [ 61.839997] TSTATE: 0000004411001600 TPC: 000000000069fb2c TNPC: 000000000069fb30 Y: 000002f7 Not tainted [ 61.840062] TPC: <current_umask+0xc/0x20> [ 61.840091] g0: fff8004096588400 g1: 00000000000143c0 g2: 000000000000000a g3: 0000000000000000 [ 61.840143] g4: 0000000000000000 g5: 0000000000000000 g6: fff800409c26c000 g7: 000000000000000a [ 61.840196] o0: 0000000000000000 o1: 0000000000014000 o2: 0000000000000000 o3: 000000000000000a [ 61.840247] o4: 0000000000000001 o5: 0000000000000000 sp: fff800409c26f3e1 ret_pc: 00000000007072d0 [ 61.840308] RPC: <mq_attr_ok.isra.1+0x90/0x100> [ 61.840341] l0: 00000000000000da l1: 00000000f7c87bf0 l2: 00000000f7c34000 l3: 0000000000000000 [ 61.840395] l4: 00000000f7c86100 l5: 0000000000000000 l6: 000000017c96f087 l7: 00000000f7c86000 [ 61.840450] i0: 0000000000000000 i1: 0000000000c4e924 i2: fff800409c26fd58 i3: fff800409c26fd60 [ 61.840504] i4: 0000000000014000 i5: 0000000000000014 i6: fff800409c26f491 i7: 00000000007074fc [ 61.840560] I7: <do_mq_open+0x1bc/0x320> [ 61.840590] Call Trace: [ 61.840614] [00000000007074fc] do_mq_open+0x1bc/0x320 [ 61.840652] [000000000070839c] compat_SyS_mq_open+0x5c/0xa0 [ 61.840694] [00000000004061d4] linux_sparc_syscall32+0x34/0x60 [ 61.840734] Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint [ 61.840756] Caller[00000000007074fc]: do_mq_open+0x1bc/0x320 [ 61.840778] Caller[000000000070839c]: compat_SyS_mq_open+0x5c/0xa0 [ 61.840800] Caller[00000000004061d4]: linux_sparc_syscall32+0x34/0x60 [ 61.840824] Caller[00000000f7c3c7fc]: 0xf7c3c7fc [ 61.840842] Instruction DUMP: [ 61.840846] 9de3bf50 [ 61.840860] 01000000 [ 61.840872] 01000000 [ 61.840885] <c2592720> [ 61.840897] 81cfe008 [ 61.840910] d0406068 [ 61.840922] 01000000 [ 61.840935] 01000000 [ 61.840947] 9de3bf30 [ 61.840960] And if kernel is compiled with gcc 6 , test ends in other way: ttip:~$ cd strace/tests-m32/ && ./mq mq_open("strace-mq-910.sample", O_RDONLY|O_CREAT, 0700, NULL) = 0 mq_getsetattr(0, NULL, {mq_flags=0, mq_maxmsg=10, mq_msgsize=8192, mq_curmsgs=0}) = 0 mq_getsetattr(0, {mq_flags=0, mq_maxmsg=10, mq_msgsize=8192, mq_curmsgs=0}, NULL) = 0 mq_unlink("strace-mq-910.sample") = 0 +++ exited with 0 +++ and nothing is printed in kernel logs. versions of used gcc and kernels: gcc 6 compiled kernel is git 4.13.0-rc5 gcc 7.2 compiled kernel is git 4.13.0-rc5-00009-gfcd07350007b $ gcc-6 -v Using built-in specs.
