Description Peter Robinson 2017-05-24 14:18:26 UTC
On a pine64 or RaspberryPi 3 for some reason lscpu crashes. It runs fine on a mustang device.

util-linux-2.29.1-2.fc26.aarch64

Pine64:

# lscpu
Segmentation fault

Running it through gdb I don't seem to be able to get a backtrace so I'm not sure the best way to provide more information on this:

Comment 2 Jeff Bastian 2017-05-26 17:57:03 UTC
Can you run 'strace lscpu' and see what it was doing just before the kernel panic?

On another system with the same problem, I see:

~]# strace lscpu
...
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/sys/firmware/efi/systab", O_RDONLY) = 3
fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0400, st_size=65536, ...}) = 0
mmap(NULL, 65536, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xffffa7f00000
read(3, "ACPI20=0x39950014\nACPI=0x3995000"..., 8192) = 71
close(3)                                = 0
munmap(0xffffa7f00000, 65536)           = 0
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/dev/mem", O_RDONLY)  = 3

read(3,

<panic>

Comment 3 Jeff Bastian 2017-05-26 18:38:22 UTC
A couple of patches went into lscpu a few years ago which try to scrub through /dev/mem looking for the SMBIOS tables.  This is ok on x86 where SMBIOS lives in lowmem, but they're not in a set location on aarch64.  lscpu should instead be looking at /sys/firmware/dmi/* instead on aarch64.  (dmidecode needed similar updates for aarch64 and SMBIOS3 systems.)

https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/commit/fb2627cec4c85
https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/commit/dbbf839586780

I think lscpu needs an update to not try to read /dev/mem on aarch64.

Comment 4 Peter Robinson 2017-05-27 11:19:02 UTC
Doing a dmidecode gives me the following so it might mean that lscpu is crashing due to the bad dmitables, but dmidecode does use the sysfs

Comment 5 Karel Zak 2017-05-29 10:52:04 UTC
The latest upstream version (now v2.30-rc2) reads the information from sysfs rather than from /dev/mem. 

Please, try util-linux-2.30-0.1.fc27 (I'm going to update to final v2.30 tomorrow).
