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.

Doc Text:
.The `glibc` dynamic linker now disables lazy binding for the 64-bit ARM variant calling convention Previously, the `glibc` dynamic linker did not disable lazy binding for functions using the 64-bit ARM (AArch64) variant calling convention. As a consequence, the dynamic linker corrupted arguments in such function calls, leading to incorrect results or process failures. With this update, the dynamic linker now disables lazy binding in the described scenario, and the function arguments are passed correctly.

Sourceware 26798 0 P2 RESOLVED aarch64: variant PCS symbols may be incorrectly lazy bound 2021-01-27 08:24:07 UTC

Description Florian Weimer 2020-11-02 10:22:26 UTC 
We need to backport these upstream commits for proper support of the AArch64 vector PCS:

commit 558251bd8785760ad40fcbfeaaee5d27fa5b0fe4
Author: Szabolcs Nagy <szabolcs.nagy>
Date:   Thu Oct 22 17:55:01 2020 +0100

    aarch64: Fix DT_AARCH64_VARIANT_PCS handling [BZ #26798]
    
    The variant PCS support was ineffective because in the common case
    linkmap->l_mach.plt == 0 but then the symbol table flags were ignored
    and normal lazy binding was used instead of resolving the relocs early.
    (This was a misunderstanding about how GOT[1] is setup by the linker.)
    
    In practice this mainly affects SVE calls when the vector length is
    more than 128 bits, then the top bits of the argument registers get
    clobbered during lazy binding.
    
    Fixes bug 26798.

commit e156dabc766d6f6f99ce9402999eae380a3ec1f2
Author: Szabolcs Nagy <szabolcs.nagy>

    aarch64: Add variant PCS lazy binding test [BZ #26798]
    
    This test fails without bug 26798 fixed because some integer registers
    likely get clobbered by lazy binding and variant PCS only allows x16
    and x17 to be clobbered at call time.
    
    The test requires binutils 2.32.1 or newer for handling variant PCS
    symbols. SVE registers are not covered by this test, to avoid the
    complexity of handling multiple compile- and runtime feature support
    cases.
