I'm still seeing SIGILL in systemd pthread usage. The problem is that the glibc update still has a code path which uses TSX, see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1146967#c14 There is a scratch build here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=7707772 Which fixes the last TSX usage in glibc and I can confirm that that really fixes things. > Either way, an early microcode update is indeed the best way out, so > if that works, we could just drop the glibc update.
