Comment 12 Dmitry V. Levin 2014-08-13 08:53:27 UTC
Could you check whether upstream version from git://git.code.sf.net/p/strace/code passes "make check" on that platform, please?

Comment 13 Michal Toman 2014-08-13 08:59:58 UTC
The testsuite passes. The strace binary built within that tree does not have the problem - no segfault when attaching to system processes.

Thanks for testing.  So this bug will be fixed in strace-4.9 which I'm going to release soon.

Comment 15 Michel Normand 2014-08-13 11:07:33 UTC
note that this is very similar to an opensuse bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=865151
that pointed to same error and was solved by upstream commit
https://sourceforge.net/p/strace/code/ci/03ef0b2665363adf6100bc4af479a14b5f17bc27/

strace-ppc-ptrace-proto.patch

The commit fixes the problem. Since the upstream patch does not apply to Fedora dist git, attaching a modified version that does.

Dmitry, do you have any guess when it might happen?
