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.

Hello,

Please drop non-x86_64 packages from rhel-7.6 and rhel-alt-7.6 composes:
https://brewweb.engineering.redhat.com/brew/buildinfo?buildID=772027

bcc uses bpf() syscall which is not enabled on other than x86_64 architecture in RHEL-7.6. This is doen't make sense to ship these.

Removal of bcc from ppc64le would cause removal of pcp-pmda-bcc as well. Looks like it's too late for such change.

Closing this bug now because for RHEL-7.7 we don't yet know if we'll support bpf() on non-x86_64 arches or we'll want to drop bcc and pcp-pmda-bcc.

Doc impact: Please document on Release Notes that bcc and pcp-pmda-bcc plugins don't work on other than x86_64 architecture. Thanks!

Hello Stanislav,

I proposed the doc_text draft above for this known issue. Please feel free to give me your feedback or other info you would like to mention.

Thank you

Jaroslav

Hey Jaroslav, per Comment#2 we decided to close this is WONTFIX because we didn't cause any impact in RC stage. This won't be done for GA, please don't document this. Thanks!

Do I understand it correctly, that this BZ shouldn't be documented in the release notes for RHEL 7.6.0?

Thanks!

Ugh, sorry! I should have read more carefully. Yes, your proposed doc text looks good to me, please use it as Known Issue. Thanks!
