Bug#1005001: kernel: traps: boinccmd/boincmgr trap invalid opcode […] error:0 in libboinc.so.7.18.1/boincmgr

Sat Feb 5 09:44:47 GMT 2022

Package: boinc-client
Version: 7.18.1+dfsg-4
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: mpartap at gmx.net

After an update, boinccmd and boincmgr crash with "Illegal instruction"..?!

Log:
kernel: traps: boinccmd[1250032] trap invalid opcode ip:7fa11f98453c
sp:7ffd25f42c40 error:0 in libboinc.so.7.18.1[7fa11f968000+52000]
kernel: traps: boincmgr[1251274] trap invalid opcode ip:55814c1a6689
sp:7ffe16eb6840 error:0 in boincmgr[55814c17d000+18e000]

Still happily crunching; boinctui still works for suspend/resume.

# Nice levels. When systems are truly busy, e.g. because of too many active
# scientific applications started by the boinc client, there is a chance for
# the boinc client not to be granted sufficient opportunity to check for
# scientific applications to be alive and make the (wrong) decision to
# terminate the scientific app. This is particularly an issue with many
# apps started in parallel on modern multi-core systems and extra overheads
# for the download and uploads of files with the project servers. Another
# concern is the latency for scientific applications to communicate with the
# graphics card, which should be low. All such values should be set and
# controled from within the BOINC client. The Debian init script also sets
# extra constrains via chrt on real time performance and via ionice on 
# I/O performance, which is beyond the regular BOINC client. It then was
# too easy to use that code to also constrain minimal nice levels. We still
# think about how to best distinguish GPU applications from regular apps.
