>The test case given in the github issue is invalid, because it builds
without the default noble compiler flags of -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
-D_TIME_BITS=64 so tells us nothing about what code is actually being
run as part of noble that depends on the old syscall.
It's not invalid, cause we can't require old software binaries to be
built with a new -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_TIME_BITS=64 flags. Imagine
people who run, let say, Ubuntu Bionic for armhf inside the LXD
container. All the binaries inside that container image will use
__NR_futex and not __NR_futex_time64 for obvious reasons. We can not ask
people to rebuild all the software with a new flags, that breaks idea of
running stuff inside the container. Isn't it?
Also, right now, I have repeated my experiment but with a new flags:
# arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_TIME_BITS=64 -static test.c
# strace -n -f /usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3 ./a.out
[ 221] execve("/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3",
["/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/lib/ld-"..., "./a.out"], 0xffffddf2a718 /* 27 vars
*/ <unfinished ...>

[ 125] mprotect(0x5f000, 12288, PROT_READ) = 0
[ 240] futex(0xff812a1c, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented)
[ 397] statx(1, "", AT_STATX_SYNC_AS_STAT|AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT|AT_EMPTY_PATH,
STATX_BASIC_STATS, {stx_mask=STATX_BASIC_STATS|STATX_MNT_ID, stx_attributes=0,
stx_mode=S_IFCHR|0620, stx_size=0, ...}) = 0
[ 4] write(1, "Error! Function not implemented", 31Error! Function not
implemented) = 31
[ 248] exit_group(1) = ?
[ 248] +++ exited with 1 +++
Obviously, these flags are not changing anything in behavior because
__NR_futex constant value does not depend on _TIME_BITS or
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS values.
=== strace from a real armhf container (Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS inside):
# strace -o strace.log -n -f lxc-start -F ubuntu-armh
2944 [ 322] openat(4, "systemd",
O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE|O_NOFOLLOW|O_CLOEXEC|O_PATH) = 5
...
e=4096, ...}) = 0
2944 [ 6] close(4) = 0
2944 [ 322] openat(5, "system.conf.d",
O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE|O_NOFOLLOW|O_CLOEXEC|O_PATH) = -1
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
...
2944 [ 240] futex(0xf798a4b4, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 2147483647) = -1 ENOSYS
(Function not imple
mented)
2944 [ 146] writev(2, [{iov_base="The futex facility returned an u"...,
iov_len=54}], 1) = 54
2944 [ 192] mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS,
-1, 0) = 0xf79c0000
2944 [ 175] rt_sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK, [ABRT], NULL, 8) = 0
2944 [ 224] gettid() = 1
2944 [ 20] getpid() = 1
2944 [ 268] tgkill(1, 1, SIGABRT) = 0
2944 [ 268] --- SIGABRT {si_signo=SIGABRT, si_code=SI_TKILL, si_pid=1,
si_uid=0} ---
As we can see:
2944 [ 240] futex(0xf798a4b4, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 2147483647) = -1 ENOSYS
(Function not imple
mented)
so, the same syscall number 240 was called.
