2.6.10-rc1-mm2: konqueror segfaults for no reason

2.6.10-rc1-mm2: konqueror segfaults for no reason

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

Hi,

On 2.6.10-rc1-mm2 with SuSE 9.1 /x86_64 konqueror always crashes for no 
specific reason and the following messages appear in dmesg:

local[18494]: segfault at 0000003000000018 rip 0000000000428f2a rsp 
0000007fbfffe870 error 4
local[18493]: segfault at 0000003000000018 rip 0000000000428f2a rsp 
0000007fbfffe870 error 4

This does not happen on 2.6.10-rc1.

The .config is available at:
http://www.sisk.pl/kernel/041029/2.6.10-rc1-mm2.config

Greets,
RJW

Can you back out patches and try to figure out which one caused it? 
Doing a strace -f -o LOG of konqueror before the fault may also be interesting
to see what it did before it crashes.

I tested this now too and konqueror also works fine for me.

Have you tested this on an SMP machine?  Mine is a UP.  I'll chek a dual 
Opteron box in a couple of minutes.

Yes, on a Dual Opteron with web browsing.  Similar with firefox.

Same thing.  Hmm.  What about gcc?  I use gcc 3.3.3 (out of SuSE 9.1).

Have you tried to open pages containing JavaScript?  It turns out that my 
konqueror(s) work(s) fine on 2.6.10-rc1-mm2 when I disable JavaScript in it 
(them).

2.6.10-rc1-mm2: konqueror crash because of cputime patches

Well, an arbitrary web page need not be sufficient.  Apparently, the web page 
needs to contain JavaScript to make konqueror crash.  Also, when JavaScript 
is disabled in konqueror, it works normally, so I assume that it crashes on 
an attempt to execute JavaScript.

Done.  Evidently, if the cputime patches:

cputime-introduce-cputime-fix.patch
cputime-introduce-cputime.patch
cputime-missing-pieces.patch

are reversed, konqueror works fine again on 2.6.10-rc1-mm2 (verified on two 
different systems).

I have created a bugzilla entry for it at:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3675

If you need any more information, please let me know and I'll post it there.

Reversing theese fixed my konqueror issues to. In 2.6.10-rc1-mm2 , konqueror 
would crash instantly when I tried browsing a webpage ( any page ).

Ok thanks. I will leave it to Martin to figure out.
