High CPU utilization causing all new processes to segfault

Postby mstm1 » Sun Jun 05, 2016 7:08 pm

It can be easily reproduced here by compiling a kernel. After 10-15 minutes the subprocesses will start to segfault and any attempt to start any new process under any user fails until the system is rebooted.

Occasionally it will spontaneously reboot rather than just cause new processes to segfault, but I haven't been able to track down the reason in either case yet, as no messages other than the single line segfault notices are printed on the console, running dmesg afterward also segfaults, and netconsole shows no new messages.

The grsec version it currently happens on is grsecurity-3.1-4.5.5-201605291201.patch with zfs v0.6.5.7 included as builtin at compile time. I can email the kernel config or image if needed, GRKERNSEC & PAX options below.
