Hello bugproxy, or anyone else affected, Accepted binutils into jammy-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/binutils/2.38-4ubuntu2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed- jammy to verification-done-jammy. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification- failed-jammy. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days. ** Changed in: binutils (Ubuntu Jammy) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-jammy -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to binutils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1978129 Title: Incomplete support for DT_RELR relocations on Ubuntu 22.04 Status in The Ubuntu-power-systems project: In Progress Status in binutils package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in binutils source package in Jammy: Fix Committed Status in binutils source package in Kinetic: Fix Released Bug description: SRU Justification: ================== [Impact] * The latest glibc uses DT_RELR relocations, but it turned out that the linker support is still incomplete, as of binutils-2.38-3ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 22.04. * It lacks the fix/commit 'PowerPC64 DT_RELR relative reloc addresses'. * As discussed at the binutils mailing list: https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2022-March/119921.html this fixes several (glibc) regressions (from 574 to 17). * Instead of stashing r_offset final address calculations in ppc64_elf_size_stubs for use by ppc64_elf_build_stubs, section/offset pairs need to be kept. [Test Plan] * Build and run the official (make) check: git clone git://sourceware.org/git/glibc.git mkdir build && cd build ../glibc/configure --prefix=/usr && make -j8 && make check [Where problems could occur] * In case relr_addr is not replaced everywhere it's deletion in elf64-ppc.c can cause problems, which will mainly occur at build time. * The relr section/offset array may lead to problems if the array is not properly handled or used. * The rewrite of append_relr_off may cause issues due to wrong allocs erroneous pointer arithmetic or array handling. * The entirely new sort_relr function may introduce new code issues or performance issues. * The adjustments of ppc64_elf_size_stubs and ppc64_elf_build_stubs to the new relr code could be done wrong in which case the linker support is still not working. * But the patch was discussed at the upstream mailing list: https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2022-March/thread.html#119921 * and is limited to ppc, and even to file 'elf64-ppc.c'. __________ == Comment: #0 - Matheus Salgueiro Castanho <mscasta...@ibm.com> - 2022-06-09 09:32:29 == ---Problem Description--- Latest glibc uses DT_RELR relocations, but linker support is incomplete as of binutils-2.38-3ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 22.04.
