Description Florian Weimer 2021-07-10 14:55:13 UTC
The upstream time64 work removed vDSO acceleration from these functions. We should restore it.

Note that it is unclear whether upstream will accept this patch.

Comment 1 Florian Weimer 2021-07-10 17:22:23 UTC
Upstream patch proposal: Patch posted: https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2021-July/128902.html

Let me stress again that upstream acceptance is unclear at this point.

Comment 2 Florian Weimer 2021-07-13 12:55:11 UTC
A different patch was accepted upstream, which I believe is equivalent.

I believe the second issue (errno clobber) can be validated using a scratch build of dovecot. This is also covered by new test cases in the upstream glibc test suite.

Comment 4 Michal Hlavinka 2021-07-19 11:55:38 UTC
Any ETA when this will be in build root? It blocks dovecot's builds

glibc-2.33.9000-42.el9 has been tagged, so it will land in the buildroots in a few minutes.
