Public bug reported:
It seems that expansion of the $PLATFORM dynamic linker variable has changed between xenial and bionic: rojer@xenial$ apt-cache policy libc6 libc6: Installed: 2.23-0ubuntu10 Candidate: 2.23-0ubuntu10 rojer@xenial$ LD_PRELOAD='/foo/$LIB/$PLATFORM/bar.so' strace -f /bin/true 2>&1 | grep '^open.*foo' open("/foo/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/x86_64/bar.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) rojer@bionic$ apt-cache policy libc6 libc6: Installed: 2.27-3ubuntu1 Candidate: 2.27-3ubuntu1 rojer@bionic$ LD_PRELOAD='/foo/$LIB/$PLATFORM/bar.so' strace -f /bin/true 2>&1 | grep '^open.*foo' openat(AT_FDCWD, "/foo/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/haswell/bar.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) What was `x86_64` before has changed to `haswell` which is way too specific and also doesn't match the man page for ld.so which clearly states: $PLATFORM (or equivalently ${PLATFORM}) This expands to a string corresponding to the processor type of the host system (e.g., "x86_64"). On some architectures, the Linux kernel doesn't provide a platform string to the dynamic linker. The value of this string is taken from the AT_PLATFORM value in the auxiliary vector (see getauxval(3)). I verified that `getauxval(AT_PLATFORM)` still returns `x86_64`. ** Affects: glibc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1780723 Title: Wrong expansion of $PLATFORM by ld.so on 18.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/1780723/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
