I thought that a separate SRU bug is needed for an SRU, so I created that. SRU info: [ Impact ]
* The failures on s390x are primarily because tep_alloc sets file endianness to LITTLE_ENDIAN by default (with no checks) * The changes are already accepted into plucky and upstream: https://code.launchpad.net/~r41k0u/ubuntu/+source/libtraceevent/+git/libtraceevent/+merge/477042 * This will fix autopkgtest segfaults of libtracefs on oracular and noble for s390x. [ Test Plan ] * Clone libtracefs (oracular-devel or noble-devel), compile it and the tests (make && make test), then run the tests as root (utest/trace-utest), on an s390x machine (running oracular or noble) * You can test the fix by installing the patched version of libtraceevent for the release you are testing and trying the libtracefs tests again. [ Where problems could occur ] * This is not likely to break anything, as we can make a safe assumption to set file_bigendian to the same value as host_bigendian by default. If these are different, the user can set it using event-parse-api * In any case, this change seems logical. This does not affect any other little-endian architectures, and I think this won't be breaking any workarounds people did around this problem. * But in case we have some regressions as a result of this change, then there surely would be some workaround to this in a patch, which can then be reverted. [ Other Info ] * This does not fix anything in libtraceevent but does fix the tests for libtracefs on s390x. But I have opened this bug against libtraceevent. * I see a workaround around this problem in the last patch in d/p/series, but this change does not affect it -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2062118 Title: autopkgtests fail on s390x (segfault) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-z-systems/+bug/2062118/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
