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.

1. Feature Overview:
Feature Id:	[201303]
a. Name of Feature:	Provide a utmp format that is compatible between 32 and 64 bit.
b. Feature Description
The utmp definition for the 64 bit version of the C-runtime on Linux for System z needs to be the
same as the utmp definition for the 32 bit version.   That way 32 bit applications running in the 64
bit compatability layer can access the records. This change breaks a number of interfaces in the 64
  bit C-runtime . which need to be versioned and a compat function for old executables using the 64
bit version of the struct utmp is required.  The list of affected interfaces include:    login,
updwtmp, getutent, getutid, getutline, pututline, getutent_r,    getutid_r, getutline_r, getutxent,
getutxid, getutxline, pututxline,    updwtmpx, getutmp, getutmpx.  and some more which have not been
verified yet.

2. Feature Details:
Sponsor:	zSeries
Architectures:
s390x

Arch Specificity: Purely Arch Specific Code
Affects Toolchain: Yes
Delivery Mechanism: Direct from community
Category:	Toolchain
Request Type:	Toolchain - Enhancement from IBM
d. Upstream Acceptance:	Accepted
Sponsor Priority	1
f. Severity: High

g. Component Version Target:	glibc 2.9

3. Business Case
The 32/64 bit compatible utmp format is a requirement for the LSB 4.0 certification.

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2008-10-02 20:57:57 UTC 
Has this work been submitted upstream yet?
Comment 2 John Jarvis 2008-10-28 21:43:24 UTC 
Switching Severity from Urgent to High.  Urgent should be reserved for problems that need to be fixed asynch.
