Fixed In Version:	samba4-4.2.10-13.el6	Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	Cause: The samba4 packages were compiled in such a way that lazy binding during dynamic linking was disabled at run time. Consequence: On POWER, the IFUNC handler for the gettimeofday function in glibc would execute when glibc itself had not been relocated, leading to a crash when sssd_pac and other programs were started. Fix: The samba4 packages are again compiled without lazy binding. Result: The lazy relocation of the gettimeofday function is processed correctly and sssd_pac can start successfully on POWER.

Description Florian Weimer 2017-09-18 15:34:06 UTC

/usr/lib64/samba/libsamba-debug-samba4.so is linked with BIND_NOW and references gettimeofday, which has an IFUNC resolver on ppc64.  However, on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, glibc processes relocations in the wrong order, so when the IFUNC resolver runs, libc.so.6 has not yet been relocated.  As a result, there is a crash during relocation.  See bug 1398716 for details.

We cannot change the dynamic linker behavior at this point in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 product life-cycle, so the only way to fix this issue is to recompile samba4 without BIND_NOW.
