Now, I don't know how to fix it (short of changing your nsswitch
configuration) - maybe we could somehow rename sem_init()? Or maybe

can somehow give the kernel binary a lower symbol resolution than

objcopy (from binutils) can localize symbols (i.e., objcopy -L
sem_init $orig_file $new_file). It also does renaming symbols. But
not sure this is the ideal solution.
Yes, we started thinking about it but it was too late at night when I
replied ...
I think there's basically a way to have an external list of symbols to
export, for symbol versioning, that we could/should use to basically
not
export any of the kernel symbols out to libs.
Maybe using the ld --version-script= option here works to mark all
kernel symbols as being "local" and prevent them from being picked up
by libraries.

How does UML handle symbol conflicts between userspace code and Linux
kernel (like this case sem_init) ? AFAIK, libnl has a same symbol as
Linux kernel (genlmsg_put) and others can possibly do as well.
I fear it doesn't?
I can confirm that it did and this bug is bisect-able.
with 5.7
# dd if=/dev/ubda of=/dev/null bs=1M
16384+1 records in
16384+1 records out
17179869696 bytes (17 GB, 16 GiB) copied, 10.6973 s, 1.6 GB/s
with 5.10 the speed is 2.2
5.7 with "strings from glibc" patch speed is 2.2
As we did not do anything else in this timeframe to jack up the speed from 1.6GB/s to
2.2GB/s and as it is identical to the speed you get with the "use glibc
strings.h" this looks like a good criteria to bisect on.
I am going to do a bisect with 5.7 "good" and 5.10 "bad" using the speed test
as a working hypothesis.
