This includes both testing within a qemu chroot (where the problem was noticed), and also on the target hardware. On the target the symptoms do not show up even unpatched, as it is 32 bit userspace calling a 32 bit kernel, but I thought I'd mention that I observed no ill effects there with the patchset. I would definitely appreciate it if this was eventually back-ported to at least 2.32, since Gentoo policy likely prevents patching system packages like glibc without upstream endorsement. It would be great to have this fixed, since it has been an issue for over a year. PS. I'm not a full Gentoo developer, just a longtime member of the community, and power user. I will however push these issues through the proper channels. Thanks! Dave
