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 of problem:

The bpftool package is not built on the i686 architecture. This seems to be because bpftool is only built if the kernel selftests are built, and we don't build those on i686 (if I'm reading the kernel.spec file correctly).

With xdp-tools 1.3.0 (which will be in RHEL9.2), we depend on bpftool for building, so this breaks xdp-tools on i686. Also, bpftool is a central component for interacting with BPF, so it should definitely be built on all arches.

Hmm, I can work around it in the build config so we keep shipping xdp-tools, but just don't compile the new utilities if bpftool is not available? The existing tools and libxdp itself don't need it...

It's only showing x86_64 and aarch64 for xdp-tools for me. But there's some text further down on the page that says "Repos shown are based on your active subscriptions", so I suppose it may just be because I don't have access to those?

But anyway, cool, I'll make sure we keep building what we can for i686, then...
