Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
We need to backport several patches from glibc upstream to maintain ABI compatibility with upstream.
The patches identified so far are (the first one is minor):

[AArch64] Add ipc.h.
Adding ipc.h for AArch64 adjusted to behave correctly on big endian
targets.

[AArch64][BZ 18400] fix elf_prpsinfo in procfs.h
Kernel uses int pr_uid, pr_gid, but glibc used unsigned short.
This is an ABI breaking change, but the size and alignment of
the struct and the layout of other members is not changed and
there is no known usage of pr_uid and pr_gid so it is expected
to be safe.
[BZ #18400]
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/sys/procfs.h (struct elf_prpsinfo):
Fix pr_uid and pr_gid members.

[AArch64][BZ 18648] change greg_t definition in ucontext.h
This is an ABI breaking change, but
typedef int greg_t;
is not a useful definition on aarch64.
greg_t is usually used for defining gregset_t which is used
in mcontext_t. The general registers in mcontext_t can only
be accessed by target specific code and on aarch64 greg_t
is not needed for that so this change is not supposed to break
existing code, just fix the definition.
[BZ #18648]
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/sys/ucontext.h (greg_t): Change the
definition to elf_greg_t.
(Added another BZ entry that was missed in the previous commit).
This seems to be also worth having (the ABI impact is very indirect, though):
