[OE-core] "qemu-arm udevadm hwdb --update" eats swap space after build host update to openSUSE 13.2

[Steffen Sledz]

After updating our build host from openSUSE 13.1 to 13.2 we're no longer able to build our images with OE (with 13.1 on the same host everything worked well). :(

The first thing we observed was that the do_rootfs stage made a very big load (more than 500) on the machine but the cpu's aren't working for 100%. I could track down the problem to the call

qemu-arm -r 2.6.32 -L /pm/sledz/hipos-dfe.dizzy/build-closed/tmp-glibc/work/hikirk-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/hydraip-prodimage/1.0-r0+r16+r17.5/rootfs -E LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/pm/sledz/hipos-dfe.dizzy/build-closed/tmp-glibc/work/hikirk-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/hydraip-prodimage/1.0-r0+r16+r17.5/rootfs/usr/lib:/pm/sledz/hipos-dfe.dizzy/build-closed/tmp-glibc/work/hikirk-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/hydraip-prodimage/1.0-r0+r16+r17.5/rootfs/lib /pm/sledz/hipos-dfe.dizzy/build-closed/tmp-glibc/work/hikirk-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/hydraip-prodimage/1.0-r0+r16+r17.5/rootfs/bin/udevadm hwdb --update --root /pm/sledz/hipos-dfe.dizzy/build-closed/tmp-glibc/work/hikirk-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/hydraip-prodimage/1.0-r0+r16+r17.5/rootfs

which eats swap space without end till the system crashes (more than 100GB swap space ist available).

I've no idea how to inspect this problem further. Any ideas?

Steffen
