thermald fails to start after system update

Zoom8160 · 2023-09-10 16:27:32

I updated my Arch Linux system today, restarted it and I saw that on the booting logs thermald.service was unable to start. These are the logs of the service:

I followed the "Analyzing a core dump" and "Debugging/Getting traces" guides and all I could get was "Signal: 6 (ABRT)", some lines that mentioned "/usr/lib/libc.so.6" and an empty gdb.txt file. I think I did everything right, is there something I'm missing?

No idea, because you're not actually saying what you did.
What's the output of "coredumpctl list"? And what exactly did you do with it?

The stack might be corrupted to the point where it's indeed unusable, but that's hard to say from some generic "I followed generic wiki instructions" assertion.

Zoom8160 · 2023-09-10 22:52:50

Sorry about that, here's the output of "sudo coredumpctl list":

I didn't do anything with this really. Then I executed "sudo coredumpctl info /usr/bin/thermald":

Sorry about the "idk if I should share this", but I really don't know if it's safe to share that data (I'm a noob sorry).

Then I did "sudo coredumpctl debug /usr/bin/thermald" and on gdb I did "bt" which gives similar "0x000..." data, which I don't know if I should sare again, sorry.

Then I followed the "Debugging/Getting traces" guide, executing the command "gdb /usr/bin/thermald", which enabled "Debuginfod":

(gdb) q

After that I did "sudo gdb /usr/bin/thermald" which shows:

(gdb)

Then I did "run" with no arguments:

(gdb) run

[Inferior 1 (process 8010) exited normally]
(gdb)

Now the guide says "Now do whatever is necessary to evoke the bug", but I don't know what to do to evoke the bug since I think it already crashed, so I do "set logging enabled on":

(gdb) set logging enabled on
Copying output to gdb.txt.
Copying debug output to gdb.txt.
(gdb)

And "thread apply all backtrace full":

(gdb) thread apply all backtrace full
(gdb)

Which gives me a "gdb.txt" file that is empty.

trigger the thermald crash with:

sudo systemctl restart thermald.service

I did what you said both on a different terminal:

Back to the first terminal:

(gdb)

And on the same one:

And I still got an empty "gdb.txt" file on both cases, did I do something wrong?

seth · 2023-09-11 06:02:37

The "Stack trace of thread 4046:" stuff is the relevant part, please also look into the other dumps (at least a handful) to see whether they all go down in the same position and you can and should share all of that - those are stack positions, coredumps are kinda meant to be shared and - generally - don't contain sensitive information.
And, frankly, what kind of sensitive information do you expect thermald might hold itfp?

Hello
Same problem here since kernel update (linux 6.5.2). Loading thermald.service fails systematically.

I'm at work and don't have time to investigate any longer for now.
I switched to linux-lts and thermald works fine again.

Looks like a stack corruption, the general vicinity has previously shown up in https://github.com/intel/thermal_daemon/issues/193
Stracing it might reveal the input file that triggers this.

Hi
As a workaround I ran `# dptfxtract`, which seems to solve the problem for me (... maybe missing config files in /etc/thermald/ ?? ). Now thermald service starts on boot without issue on linux 6.5.3.
Just got the idea reading through the intel/thermal_daemon github page, particularly issue #211.
