Topic

Updated systemtap packages that fix a bug that could cause kernel panics
are now available.

Description

SystemTap is an instrumentation system for systems running the Linux
kernel, version 2.6. Developers can write scripts to collect data on the
operation of the system.

This update addresses the following issue:

  • abnormal shutdowns, triggered at the same time as probe startups,

triggered a race condition, and consequent kernel panics, when multiple
systemtap commands ran simultaneously. The probe setup could be called
during or after the probe shutdown which lead to kernel callbacks remaining
registered after modules were unloaded. Setup activities, shutdown
activities and related flags are now guarded by mutex (mutual exclusion)
algorithms, ensuring strict ordering which obviates the race condition and
prevents the kernel panics from occurring. This update also includes a new
test -- /usr/share/systemtap/testsuite/systemtap.base/pr10854.exp -- that
checks for this race condition. (BZ#543058)

All systemtap users should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve
this issue.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
