I have just started running NFS@HOME WUs, and I am having problems with instant application crashes. This is on a debian linux 10 system, that is kernel 4.16.0-1. The system is a Ryzen 2700X with 32GB of RAM. In general this system processes all other BOINC-projects I have tried without problems, however this might be too new for NFS@HOME?
So I'd be happy about some feedback, either from anyone having similar problems or even better from anyone knowing a fix for the problem.

All showing the following message in the STDERR log for the task:

<core_client_version>7.10.3</core_client_version>
<![CDATA[
<message>
process got signal 11</message>
<stderr_txt>
SIGSEGV: segmentation violation

</stderr_txt>
]]>


Since is a segmentation violation, i.e. the code performing illegal I/O access, I checked the syslog and all runs leave messages of the type

lasievee_1.10_x[4301] vsyscall attempted with vsyscall=none ip:ffffffffff600000 cs:33 sp:7ffc569592d8 ax:ffffffffff600000 si:0 di:7ffc569592f0

I had the same problem with my 2700X running on Antergos Linux [4.17.3-1-ARCH].

I solved the problem by installing Linux Mint 19 Tara [4.15.0-24-generic|. I've completed 127 tasks with no errors so far but haven't released them to the server yet.

Maybe there is an issue with kernels 4.16 and later?

Yes that might be! As an update: I can process NFS@Home WUs under Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on the same hardware without problems. Software-wise that is a system fairly equivalent to Debian 10. However the kernel is version 4.15.0-20.

On YAFU, the following solution to a similar issue seemed to work.

Configure the bootloader to use the kernel parameter "vsyscall=emulate"

Thank you very much!! That is solving my problem with NFS@Home too :-)!

Hello, it is the same for me. Adding this line is not a solution, just a workaround and doesn't have to be there (for security reason).

The real solution is to rebuild the NFS application using a recent glibc. May the dev have a plan for this, as many Linux distribution will have this need in the near future ?

Same here, it did the trick, but it is probably not a long term solution.

Hope the dev will be able to fix this.

Thanks
