Comment 5 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2020-09-23 02:04:45 UTC
Proposed as a Blocker for 33-beta by Fedora user chrismurphy using the blocker tracking app because:

 Inability to report a bug using local or remote tracing  "hinders execution of required Beta test plans or dramatically reduces test coverage"

Same justification as:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1878317#c6
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1878317#c7

Comment 6 Kamil Páral 2020-09-23 07:38:05 UTC
I can confirm this bug. ABRT can't process will_abort crash locally (and the retrace server doesn't accept the crash either).

Comment 7 Jonathan Haas 2020-09-23 14:06:16 UTC
This change seems to be suspicious: https://github.com/abrt/abrt/commit/89e0ddda37d8eb9b3aff78858be87255b36379dc#diff-a2b3bbd04cbb577c318d002d11a69171R351

As far as I understand it, this will always free the backtrace, instead of only freeing it when an error happens.

Comment 8 Jonathan Haas 2020-09-23 14:12:47 UTC
Upstream issue: https://github.com/abrt/abrt/issues/1528

Comment 9 Jonathan Haas 2020-09-23 16:36:16 UTC
This has been fixed upstream.

Comment 10 Michael Catanzaro 2020-09-23 18:30:05 UTC
Thanks very much for your patch, Jonathan!

Go/no-go is tomorrow, so we need it fixed in Fedora today. Help from any provenpackager would be great. Jonathan's patch is here: https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/abrt/abrt/pull/1529.patch

Comment 17 Kamil Páral 2020-09-24 16:30:04 UTC
Accepted as a Beta blocker:
https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review/issue/119

Comment 18 Geoffrey Marr 2020-09-24 19:32:50 UTC
Discussed during the 2020-09-24 Fedora 33 Go/No-Go meeting: [0]

The decision to waive this bug's existing classification as an "AcceptedBlocker (Beta)" in the Go/No-Go decision was made under the late blocker exception since Beta getting the fix in an update is sufficient.

[0] https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2020-09-24/f33-beta-go_no_go-meeting.2020-09-24-17.00.txt

Comment 19 Kamil Páral 2020-09-25 10:09:57 UTC
If a blocker is waived according to an exception rule, it's moved to the very next milestone per policy. Setting as a Final blocker.

Comment 20 Fedora Update System 2020-09-25 17:03:03 UTC
FEDORA-2020-7cad807210 has been pushed to the Fedora 33 stable repository.
If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report.

 This change appears to be wrong:


commit 1ab9d3859ffa8bbfd002a95e79f9808f864b23a8 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD)
Author: Matěj Grabovský <mgrabovs>
Date:   Thu Sep 24 10:07:28 2020 +0200

    Add patch for #1881745


        if (bt)
            log_warning("Backtrace is too big (%u bytes), reducing depth to %u",
                        (unsigned)strlen(bt), bt_depth);
        else
            /* (NB: in fact, current impl. of exec_vp() never returns NULL) */
            log_warning("Failed to generate backtrace, reducing depth to %u",
                        bt_depth);
            free(bt);


Note that the "free" is indented as if it's guarded by the ELSE clause, but it isn't.  I'm guessing you're missing some braces in the ELSE clause.

Comment 22 Matej Grabovsky 2020-10-12 17:19:06 UTC
You're right, Jeff. Thanks for pointing that out.

I have proposed a patch upstream: https://github.com/abrt/abrt/pull/1534

Bug fixed (and fix also fixed), commonbugs not needed.
