39866 2021-04-02 12:27:30 +0300 Reduce maximum possible memory limit on MIPS32 2025-06-03 20:37:30 +0300 1 1 4 Development Sisyphus xz unstable mipsel Linux CLOSED FIXED P5 normal --- 1 iv placeholder arseny glebfm ldv placeholder vt qa-sisyphus oldest_to_newest 197474 0 iv 2021-04-02 12:27:30 +0300 Due to architectural limitations, address space available to a single userspace process on MIPS32 is limited to 2 GiB, not 4, even on systems that have more physical RAM -- e.g. 64-bit systems with 32-bit userspace, or systems that use XPA (an extension similar to x86's PAE). So, for MIPS32, we have impose stronger memory limits. I've chosen 2000MiB to give the process some headroom: http://git.altlinux.org/people/iv/packages/?p=xz.git;a=commitdiff;h=4bd5fac4a0929ea8a6fef75f56eafb7fe69a5aee Without this change, many tests of gear 2.5.0-alt1 fail on mipsel; with this change in xz, it builds successfully. Please include this or similar change into the next xz build for Sisyphus. 197485 1 vt 2021-04-02 22:31:58 +0300 Can you send this patch to xz-devel@tukaani.org? 197671 2 vt 2021-04-09 11:02:15 +0300 Seems not. Then, I will send it myself. Thanks. 197675 3 iv 2021-04-09 11:35:56 +0300 Sorry, I missed your comment #1. No, I did not send this patch anywhere yet. I'll be grateful if you could send it to upstream. 199947 4 iv 2021-07-02 16:10:25 +0300 The patch was committed upstream (https://git.tukaani.org/?p=xz.git;a=commit;h=fc3d3a7296ef58bb799a73943636b8bfd95339f7), thank you Vitaly for submitting it. But it does not seem that a new release containing this change will be out any time soon, so I cherry-picked it onto the current sisyphus version. Could you please approve? #276721 EPERM #2 sisyphus xz.git=5.2.5-alt3 http://git.altlinux.org/people/iv/packages/?p=xz.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/tags/5.2.5-alt3 266395 5 arseny 2025-06-03 20:37:30 +0300 FWIW, the patch has been present in our xz since 5.2.5-alt3 (August 2021). https://git.altlinux.org/gears/x/..git?p=xz.git;a=commit;h=d4131f590c7354e1fcb9af9d405b5f553426c0f4
