We're coming up to release however we're struggling with various sanity test failures that keep showing up on the autobuilder.
A lot of them have been caused by issues in the qemu scripts and the fact that the systems are being asked to do more in parallel due to the new autobuilder infrastructure. I believe we have these ones resolved now. The ones that worry me are like two that happened in the last build for example: http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org:8011/builders/nightly-arm-lsb/builds/95/steps/Running%20Sanity%20Tests_1/logs/stdio http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org:8011/builders/nightly-x86-64-lsb/builds/87/steps/Running%20Sanity%20Tests/logs/stdio In both cases we have a segfault happening in the guest, one directly triggered by a sanity test, the other being detected in dmesg. We saw one of these on the previous build: http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org:8011/builders/nightly-x86/builds/92/steps/Running%20Sanity%20Tests/logs/stdio (ignore the minimal failure, that was likely a timeout issue, resolved by a recent change) I've also seen the smart help segfault on a qemumips image. I did download that one locally and saw the same fault the first time I booted it. I then didn't see it again, despite running the image many times. The booting was of a copy of the image so it wasn't a first boot issue. The checksum matched that on the autobuilder. At this point I think it may well be a qemu issue but we don't know that for sure. I've not seen any report of this on real hardware. The question is how do we debug this? Does anyone have any ideas? The best idea I've heard so far is to generate a coredump in the image and save that off, maybe it would give some clue in later analysis. We could also upon failure move the actually booted somewhere for later analysis. I wondered if we could save off the qemu state too somehow. The trouble is none of these are simple coming up to release. So if anyone has any ideas on what is causing this of how to debug/fix it, I'd be very receptive to them.
