** Changed in: glibc (Ubuntu Groovy)
Status: New => In Progress
** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+
+ * On arm64 systems supporting LSE and libc6-lse being installed an attempt
to upgrade the package makes the upgrade fail and leave the system in an
unusable state.
+ * Performing a release upgrade on such arm64 systems also break if the
libc6-lse package was installed and it is also present in the target release.
+
+ [Test Plan]
+
+ * Set up an 8 core LSE system such as one of the AWS Graviton2 instances.
+ * If libc6-lse is installed, remove it.
+ * Compile and run the a.c test program attached in LP: #1885012 and measure
the run time.
+ * Install libc6-lse (again).
+ * Reboot
+ * Upgrade to the fixed libc6 package which Provides libc6-lse.
+ * The upgrade should succeed and automatically remove the libc6-lse package.
+ * Run the compiled a.c again and observe it running much faster than with
the standard libc6 package.
+
+ [Where problems could occur]
+
+ * The fix is compiling libc6 with -moutline-atomics which is in use
+ instead of shipping the libc6-lse separate binary package.
