Chapter 1. Package Updates
* After making changes to on-demand xinetd services, clicking "Restart" in the "Background Services"
tab resulted in a traceback. This updated version restarts the selected background service as
expected and correctly handles xinetd service changes.
* if a non-existent service name was added (via the Actions > Add Service dialog box), system-config-
services provided no user-level feedback of the error but did write a traceback error to the console.
With this update, system-config-services presents an error alert box when a non-existent service is
added and no longer produces a traceback error. This update also addresses an equivalent problem
that occurred when deleting a disabled service via Actions > Delete Service. This action now works as
expected.
(BZ#500424
All system-config-services users should install this updated package which addresses these issues.

1.201.1. RHBA-2010:0070: bug fix update
Note
This update has already been released (prior to the GA of this release) as errata
RHBA-2010:0070
Updated systemtap packages that fix a bug that could cause kernel panics are now available.
SystemTap is an instrumentation system for systems running the Linux kernel, version 2.6. Developers
can write scripts to collect data on the operation of the system.
This update addresses the following issue:
* abnormal shutdowns, triggered at the same time as probe startups, triggered a race condition,
and consequent kernel panics, when multiple systemtap commands ran simultaneously. The probe
setup could be called during or after the probe shutdown which lead to kernel callbacks remaining
registered after modules were unloaded. Setup activities, shutdown activities and related flags are
now guarded by mutex (mutual exclusion) algorithms, ensuring strict ordering which obviates the
race condition and prevents the kernel panics from occurring. This update also includes a new test
-- /usr/share/systemtap/testsuite/systemtap.base/pr10854.exp -- that checks for this race condition.
