My analysis based on public information is that 31bit binaries that are compiled against glibc 2.31 or earlier might be affected. Something like db2 version 9.7, 31bit s390 edition of it. Which is well out of support, and not sure if it was ever possible to run on Ubuntu.
Separately, please let me know if we still need to keep support for 31bit binaries on Ubuntu - as turning off CONFIG_COMPAT for 31bit binaries, and dropping compilation of biarch binaries will harden kernel & userspace, as well as ensure that s390x port is year 2038 ready ahead of x86. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2038583 Title: Turning COMPAT_32BIT_TIME off on s390x Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems: Incomplete Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: This will prevent existing s390 binaries to operate correctly, if they are still using 32bit time. 24.04 LTS is likely to be used for 10 years. And if allowed to overrun and remain active in the field in 2038 can lead to catastrophic failure in the field due to these syscalls enabled and used. I would like to request if we can turn off COMPAT_32BIT_TIME on every architecture, thus this will be arch by arch bug report, and arch by arch decision. This needs to be a per-arch decision, potentially taking into consideration bi-arch userspace support. config COMPAT_32BIT_TIME bool "Provide system calls for 32-bit time_t" default !64BIT || COMPAT help This enables 32 bit time_t support in addition to 64 bit time_t support. This is relevant on all 32-bit architectures, and 64-bit architectures as part of compat syscall handling.
