Debdiff: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/255152031/stress- ng_0.05.23-1_0.05.23-1ubuntu1.diff.gz ** Description changed: + [SRU] Xenial + Getting -EINVAL on stressors that call clone() on aarch64. Turns out that the clone() thread's stack has to be 16 byte aligned. + + [REPODUCER + FIX] + For example, run: + + stress-ng --vm-rw 1 -v + + Without the fix, this can randomly exit with -EINVAL when the stack + being passed to the clone() system call is not aligned on a 16 byte + boundary. + + With the fix, the clone() system call works fine and the stressor will + run. + + [REGRESSION POTENIAL] + Minimal. I have exhaustively tested this on multiple platforms/architectures and the fix ensures that the stack is aligned correctly. stress-ng is a leaf project in universe and this fix only touches 3 of the stress-ng stressors that use the clone() system call. ** Also affects: stress-ng (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: stress-ng (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: stress-ng (Ubuntu Xenial) Assignee: (unassigned) => Colin Ian King (colin-king) ** Changed in: stress-ng (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1573117 Title: stress-ng: clone system calls randomly fail with -EINVAL on aarch64 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/stress-ng/+bug/1573117/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
