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.

Description Carlos O'Donell 2020-03-04 18:13:40 UTC 
The following commits should get backported to update glibc to Linux 5.5:

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=5828bc4523230685ac29a4a882967913255f5666

commit 5828bc4523230685ac29a4a882967913255f5666
Author: Joseph Myers <joseph>
Date:   Fri Feb 7 13:54:58 2020 +0000

    Update syscall lists for Linux 5.5.
    
    Linux 5.5 has no new syscalls to add to syscall-names.list, but it
    does newly enable the clone3 syscall for AArch64.  This patch updates
    the kernel version listed in syscall-names.list and regenerates the
    AArch64 arch-syscall.h.
    
    Tested with build-many-glibcs.py.

commit 449db0fa3ef9d17951d94d7504db13b1891fa964
Author: Joseph Myers <joseph>
Date:   Fri Feb 7 13:55:29 2020 +0000

    Update kernel version to 5.5 in tst-mman-consts.py.
    
    This patch updates the kernel version in the test tst-mman-consts.py
    to 5.5.  (There are no new constants covered by this test in 5.5 that
    need any other header changes.)
    
    Tested with build-many-glibcs.py.

commit 6cf6a91d05d626698f158078961b3bffcb39ff8c
Author: Joseph Myers <joseph>
Date:   Wed Feb 12 13:37:16 2020 +0000

    Rename RWF_WRITE_LIFE_NOT_SET to RWH_WRITE_LIFE_NOT_SET following Linux 5.5.
    
    Linux 5.5 renames RWF_WRITE_LIFE_NOT_SET to RWH_WRITE_LIFE_NOT_SET,
    with the old name kept as an alias.  This patch makes the
    corresponding change in glibc.
    
    Tested for x86_64.
Comment 1 Carlos O'Donell 2020-04-03 20:20:14 UTC 
Linux 5.6 update just came out.

commit e788beaf093bfafecd6b4456b984bd927c18987a
Author: Joseph Myers <joseph>
Date:   Fri Apr 3 18:07:55 2020 +0000

    Update syscall lists for Linux 5.6.
    
    Linux 5.6 has new openat2 and pidfd_getfd syscalls.  This patch adds
    them to syscall-names.list and regenerates the arch-syscall.h files.
    
    Tested with build-many-glibcs.py.
Comment 4 Sergey Kolosov 2020-07-27 19:23:47 UTC 
Verified, syscall-names.list contains these new syscalls(openat2, pidfd_getfd, clone3).
