Subject[Latest Git kernel/Linux-next kernel] Xorg doesn't start after the seccomp updates v5.9-rc1
Date
Hello,

Xorg doesn't start with the latest Git kernel anymore on some Linux
distributions after the seccomp updates v5.9-rc1 [1]. For example on
Fienix (Debian Sid PowerPC 32-bit) and on ubuntu MATE 16.04.6 (PowerPC
32-bit). I tested these distributions on the A-EON AmigaOne X1000 [2],
A-EON AmigaOne X5000 [3], and in a virtual e5500 QEMU machine with a
virtio_gpu.

Error messages:

systemd-journald[2238]: Failed to send WATCHDOG-1 notification message:

But Xorg works on Ubuntu 10.04.4 (PowerPC 32-bit), openSUSE Tumbleweed
20190722 PPC64 and on Fedora 27 PPC64 with the latest Git kernel.

I bisected today [4].

Result: net/scm: Regularize compat handling of scm_detach_fds()
(c0029de50982c1fb215330a5f9d433cec0cfd8cc) [5] is the first bad commit.

This commit has been merged with the seccomp updates v5.9-rc1 on
2020-08-04 14:11:08 -0700 [1]. Since these updates, Xorg doesn't start
anymore on some Linux distributions.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to revert the first bad commit. The first
bad commit depends on many other commits, which unfortunately I don't
know. I tried to remove the modifications of the files from the first
bad commit but without any success. There are just too many dependencies.

Additionally I compiled a linux-next kernel because of the issue with
the lastest Git kernel. Unfortunately this kernel doesn't boot. It can't
initialize the graphics card.

Could you please test Xorg with the latest Git kernel on some Linux
distributions?

Thanks,
Christian
