gcc-4.8+ yet because of bug 503838 :(. gcc-4.8/gcc-4.9 are now stable on ia64, so this issue should resolve itself (In reply to SpanKY from comment #3) > gcc-4.8/gcc-4.9 are now stable on ia64, so this issue should resolve itself I bet that an updated glibc (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=503838#c16) is also required to effectively fix the problem, right? Indeed, with current ia64 stable =sys-libs/glibc-2.21-r1, I'm still having this issue when compiling =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.1.12 with now ia64 stable =sys-devel/gcc-4.9.3. No problem when recompiling the kernel with =sys-devel/gcc-4.5.4. Émeric I'm sorry, but as I was reporting in https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=518130#c4, that's definitely not the case ATM. Isn't an updated glibc also required to fix this issue? BTW, while =sys-devel/gdb-7.9.1 was failing with SIGTRAP at 0 address with kernel built with >sys-devel/gcc-4.5, new =sys-devel/gdb-7.10.1 simply says (e.g. with /bin/ls): Starting program: /bin/ls Failed to read a valid object file image from memory. and stays here forever. Booting with a kernel compiled with =sys-devel/gcc-4.5.4 brings gdb back to normal working. Émeric (In reply to Émeric Maschino from comment #4) your original report said the bug exists in gcc-4.6 & gcc-4.7, and that the issue was fixed in gcc-4.8. i too built the kernel w/gcc-4.8 and couldn't reproduce. since the only thing holding back gcc-4.8+ going stable was the broken glibc, once we addressed the glibc issue, it was all marked stable & fixed. more directly, the fix to glibc is entirely irrelevant to this bug. you do not need any specific version of glibc to reproduce or fix this bug. you only need to use a specific gcc version. now you're saying, contrary to your original comment #0, building the kernel with a newer gcc does not seem to help with this bug. I've been reading along in the various bugs. Just a quick test trying to compile a newer kernel with GCC 4.9. -------------------------------------------- ia64 linux-4.1.15-gentoo-r1 # date Tue Feb 2 09:00:18 HKT 2016 ia64 linux-4.1.15-gentoo-r1 # pwd /usr/src/linux-4.1.15-gentoo-r1 ia64 linux-4.1.15-gentoo-r1 # gcc-config -l [1] ia64-unknown-linux-gnu-4.5.4 [2] ia64-unknown-linux-gnu-4.7.4 [3] ia64-unknown-linux-gnu-4.9.3 * ia64 linux-4.1.15-gentoo-r1 # -------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- gcc: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault (program as) 0x400000000001cfaf execute ../../gcc/gcc.c:2823 Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate.

What I was saying is that I ran bisect and found first bad and good commits. But as I was outlining there [1]: "Back to the original GDB issue, can it now be explained (breakage and fix) by retrospectively looking at the code modified by revisions 165240 and 191928? Or does it make no sense at all and I'm simply observing random side-effects of some more subtle breakage elsewhere?" Answer to this question was pretty laconic [2] and I fear that we're indeed "observing random side-effects of some more subtle breakage elsewhere."

from 3.14.14-gentoo (GCC: Gentoo 4.9.3 p1.2, pie-0.6.3)
to 4.9.72-gentoo (GCC: Gentoo 6.4.0-r1 p1.3)
I see the same problem:
gdb-8.0.1 hangs on every program (gdb ls; run)
strace hangs on every program (strace ls)
I think it started happening with kernel upgrade and not before.

The fun thing is that it depends on how you compile your kernel. Sometimes, simply changing compiling a feature as a module rather than built-in (and vice versa) makes GDB working again. Or not. But I've always failed to decipher a clear pattern here. Émeric It looks like strace fails to decode some machine states: $ strace -d ls strace: ptrace_setoptions = 0x51 strace: new tcb for pid 10131, active tcbs:1 strace: [wait(0x80137f) = 10131] WIFSTOPPED,sig=SIGSTOP,EVENT_STOP (128) strace: pid 10131 has TCB_STARTUP, initializing it strace: [wait(0x80057f) = 10131] WIFSTOPPED,sig=SIGTRAP,EVENT_STOP (128) strace: [wait(0x00127f) = 10131] WIFSTOPPED,sig=SIGCONT strace: [wait(0x00857f) = 10131] WIFSTOPPED,sig=133 133 is 0x85, or 0x80 (PT_TRACESYSGOOD) | 0x5 (SIGTRAP). Loks legitimate, but for some reason is not decoded by strace. Filed bug upstream https://github.com/strace/strace/issues/33 to clear up debugging output and get some hints on what is obviously wrong here. ldv++ pointed out it's OK and real problem is in always-failing PTRACE_GETREGS: """ ./strace: get_regs: get_regs_error: Input/output error ???? Looks like ptrace(PTRACE_GETREGS) always fails with EIO on this new kernel. """ The suspect is another compiler bug (or aliasing effects in kernel, unlikely). Disabling inlining on init_unwind_table in linux kernel unbreaks at least strace:

table->start = segment_base + start[0].start_offset;
table->end = segment_base + end[-1].end_offset;
gcc manages to miscompile this:
table->end = segment_base + end[-1].end_offset;
into something that does not refer to end of unwind table. Un-inlining workarounds the breakage.
In our case reproducer is:
__end_unwind[-1].end_offset
It should generate ((const char*)__end_unwind - 24) reference but GCC generates something amazing and scary. Filed upstream GCC bug with minimal reproducer: https://gcc.gnu.org/PR84184
To workaround it we should avoid gcc to see optimising 'symbol[negative-literal]' references.
Proposed linux kernel patch upstream as: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/2/2/914 Created attachment 517626 [details, diff]
0001-ia64-fix-ptrace-PTRACE_GETREGS-unbreaks-strace-gdb.patch
Hia kernel@! Can you apply the patch
0001-ia64-fix-ptrace-PTRACE_GETREGS-unbreaks-strace-gdb.patch
for gentoo-sources?
It unbreaks ptrace() syscall and unbreaks booting for some users.
The patch is not yet upstream but was tested on real hardware (sent as https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/2/2/914)
ia64@ would like to see this patch for next to-be-stable kernels to make autobuild install CDs pick the version.
I guess it's 4.9.* and above.
Patch should apply as-is to the wide range of versions.
Thank you!
added patch to gentoo-sources-4.9.85 gentoo-sources-4.14.23 gentoo-sources-4.15.7 Thanks, Alice. Closing as patch exists in released kernels.
