Recently I've been seeing libpthreaded processes just hang suddenly. ps shows them in the STOPped state, and ps -H shows that all threads are idle except for one, which is waiting on a lock (I've seen ufs and wait on different occasions). Killing the process results in an instant system freeze. I tried gdb'ing one this time, and was rewarded with the following trap: kernel trap 12 with interrupts disabled Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode cpuid = 0; apic id = 03 fault virtual address = 0x44 fault code = supervisor write, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc058ae4c stack pointer = 0x10:0xdef5db84 frame pointer = 0x10:0xdef5dc04 code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags = resume, IOPL = 0 current process = 63683 (gdb) At this point the system froze so I couldn't get a full stack trace, but: $ addr2line -f -e kernel.debug 0xc058ae4c kern_ptrace ../../../kern/sys_process.c:659 658 if (saved_pid <= PID_MAX) { 659 p->p_xthread->td_flags &= ~TDF_XSIG; 660 p->p_xthread->td_xsig = data; It looks like p_xthread is null when it shouldn't be. This is an Aug 02 kernel, so no PREEMPTION. -- Dan Nelson dnelson_at_allantgroup.comReceived on Thu Aug 05 2004 - 18:03:24 UTC
