Title:
  losetup -f broken in 2.0.6-1ubuntu2

Status in klibc package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in klibc source package in Eoan:
  Fix Committed
Status in klibc source package in Focal:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * sudo /usr/lib/klibc/bin/losetup -vf, which appears to be missbuilt,
  as main(argc) is reset to zero, after ioctl() operations in a function
  call, quite unexpectadly.

  [Test Case]

   * $ sudo /usr/lib/klibc/bin/losetup -vf
  Loop device is /dev/loop20
  loop: can't get info on device /dev/loop20: No such device or address

  is bad.

  Note that ioctl() must succeed, thus loop0 device must be configured
  to trigger the bug.

  
  [Regression Potential]

   * klibc is quite special, as it uses linux kernel headers/assembly.
  It seems like there is incompatibility between klibc sources, and
  gcc-9 with linux-5.3 when used to build userspace programmes.

   * disabling cf-protection and stack-clash-protection did not help.

   * building with gcc-8 does not exhibit the problem.

   * the workaround is quite simple in the code, keep a copy of argc to
  compare to it later in the code.
