Subject"hwcap 0 nosegneg" doesnt work with paravirt_ops xen as of 2.6.23.9
Date
Hi all,

after converting a host from using a ubuntu patched 2.6.22 domU to using
2.6.23 xen via paravirt_ops (no configuration change except devicename change
in fstab, and another getty running) ldconfig no longer picks up the nosegneg
libc leading to segfaults for some programs.

/etc/ld.so.conf.d/xen.conf:
hwcap 0 nosegneg

On ubuntu's 2.6.22-xen:
ldd /usr/bin/perl
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xf57fe000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/i686/nosegneg/libdl.so.2 (0xb7f90000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/nosegneg/libm.so.6 (0xb7f6b000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/i686/nosegneg/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7f53000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/nosegneg/libc.so.6 (0xb7e05000)
libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/tls/i686/nosegneg/libcrypt.so.1 (0xb7dd7000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f9d000)

On selfcompiled 2.6.23.9:
ldd /usr/bin/perl
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xf57fc000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libdl.so.2 (0xb7f3b000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libm.so.6 (0xb7f16000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7efe000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb7db3000)
libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libcrypt.so.1 (0xb7d85000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f46000)


I now discover, that after some playing around (during discovering what the
problem is) i must have changed something, because ldd still shows the use of
the i686/cmov libraries, but applications reliably causing crashes earlier,
dont do so anymore.

Perhaps Im all wrong, and paravirt_ops doesnt need the nosegneg versions and
just a ldconfig or so (which seems strange because the result before and
after the ldconfig were the same).

Greetings,

Andres Freund


PS: I did this conversion mainly, because I was getting quite random crashes
inside the domU. I guess, as this was a vendor kernel + xensource xen kernel,
this isnt appropriate for lkml? As well as the crashes of the Dom0 (ubuntu
again)?
