divide error at sample_to_timespec

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

I got a "divide error" message from the kernel in my system log file (x86, P4 HT, kernel 2.6.14-1.1653_FC4smp). System is still alive, but probably something bad happened with thread that made a syscall which caused that divide error. Should it be considered a kernel bug ? It looks like there is an overflow (too big value in edx:aex divided by relatively small value in ebx).

Full message with call trace:

I haven't found a quick way to repeat it yet, but it happened a few times so far (in a few days or so). It happens in context of big multithreaded application that uses posix clocks to make some statistics of cpu usage per thread.

Best regards,
Aleksander
