Title: arm64: failure with small objects passed on stack Status in libffi package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in libffi source package in Trusty: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] It isn't possible to build newer versions of python-cffi on trusty/arm64 because it's test cases will fail due to this bug. The thing that's biting me is that cloud-archive:liberty is incomplete on arm64, making key packages uninstallable on arm64 (e.g. nova-compute). Additionally, libffi is used by several languages in Ubuntu (python, ruby, haskell, etc), so this may also be causing issues in the closed set of Ubuntu/trusty packages. I don't have evidence either way. [TestCase] Build python-cffi_1.1.2-1ubuntu2 from wily on trusty/arm64. With unfixed libffi, the build will fail during dh_auto_test in the "TestFFI.test_struct_by_value" test case. [Regression Risk] The fix is in the aarch64-specific code, so there's a negligible risk of regression on other platforms. This exact fix was included in vivid and wily and no regressions have been triaged to libffi in those releases.
