From stable rc 4.18.1 onwards to today's stable rc 4.19.147
There are two problems while running LTP tracing tests
- kernel panic on i386, qemu_i386, x86_64 and qemu_x86_64 [1]
- " segfault at 0 ip " and "Code: Bad RIP value" on x86_64 and qemu_x86_64 [2]
Please refer to the full test logs from below links.
The first bad commit found by git bisect. commit: c3bc8fd637a9623f5c507bd18f9677effbddf584 tracing: Centralize preemptirq tracepoints and unify their usage
Reported-by: Naresh Kamboju naresh.kamboju@linaro.org
So this also is reproducable in 5.4 and Linus's tree right now?
No. The reported issues are not reproducible on 5.4, 5.8 and Linus's tree.
Or are newer kernels working fine?
No. There are different issues while testing LTP tracing on 5.4, 5.8 and Linus 's 5.9.
