• Bug#972510: (no subject)

    From John David Anglin@21:1/5 to John Paul Adrian Glaubitz on Mon Oct 19 18:50:02 2020
    Hi!

    misc/tst-sbrk-pie fails on hppa.  Haven't seen misc/tst-sbrk fail on hppa.

    We also need to xfail nptl/tst-cond24 on hppa.  It fails randomly.

    Thanks,
    Dave

    Hello!

    The two tests:

    FAIL: misc/tst-sbrk
    FAIL: misc/tst-sbrk-pie

    fail on multiple architectures.

    According to the discussion in #debian-ports, the tests are broken and not really necessary anyway:

    jrtc27 | misc/tst-sbrk and/or misc/tst-sbrk-pie seem to be failing on a *lot* of architectures
    jrtc27 | if it were up to me the problem would be solved by just deleting sbrk...
    jrtc27 | FreeBSD just took the stance of not implementing them for new ports
    jrtc27 | so it's arm64 and riscv64 ports just have no sbrk
    jrtc27 | cbmuser: looks like the tests are Debian-specific
    jrtc27 | added as part of Hurd sbrk reworking to test it didn't break

    Can we disable them? With the tests disabled, glibc should pass its testsuite on at least alpha and
    sparc64. Not sure what the problem with hppa is at the moment.

    Thanks,
    Adrian
