WARNING: linker: ../../projects/universeathome.pl_universe/BHspin2_1_arm-android-linux-gnu has text relocations. This is wasting memory and prevents security hardening. Please fix. It shows on almost every task, not just the very long one. The work validated, so it doesn't seem to be a problem, but I wonder if it makes tasks run longer than they should.

I was having issues on WCG with some of my arm devices so I started checking my other projects... On Samsung Tab S2 8.9" running Droid 6, I'm seeing 8 successful completes and close to 80 errors. http://universeathome.pl/universe/result.php?resultid=19194213 There's errors like this on SETI beta although on different devices... https://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/beta/forum_thread.php?id=2273&postid=56359#56359 I haven't delved much into the details but seems related to something with the PIE routines.

It's happens because BOINC server can't see difference between new and old Android versions. Seti has same problem and they just leave it as server after some work units (millions of them) "teach" itself which applications can execute on each device.

Android 5.x and newer needs PIE, older ones needs non-PIE. Devices reports their kernel versions, you should be able to use it to detect Android 5.x+ devices.

With Goofyx we worked together on it :) Krzysztof 'krzyszp' Piszczek Member of Radioactive@Home team My Patreon profile Universe@Home on YT ID: 1942 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
