@anarchetic could you update the description with the SRU template:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#SRU_Bug_Template

and in particular having a clearly documented reproducer in the [test
case] section will help.

thanks!

Title:
  nspawn on some 32-bit archs blocks _time64 syscalls, breaks upgrade to
  focal in containers

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in systemd source package in Bionic:
  New
Status in systemd source package in Focal:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  
  Recent Linux kernels introduced a number of new syscalls ending in _time64 to 
fix Y2038 problem; it appears recent glibc, including the version in focal, 
test for the existence of these. systemd-nspawn in bionic (237-3ubuntu10.38) 
doesn't know about these so blocks them by default. It seems however glibc 
isn't expecting an EPERM, causing numerous programs to fail.

  In particular, running do-release-upgrade to focal in an nspawn
  container hosted on bionic will break as soon as the new libc has been
  unpacked.

  Solution (tested here) is to cherrypick upstream commit
  
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/6ca677106992321326427c89a40e1c9673a499b2

  A newer libseccomp is also needed but this is already being worked on,
  see bug #1876055.

  It's a pretty trivial fix one the new libseccomp lands, and there is
  precedent for SRU-ing for a similar issue in bug #1840640.

  https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10756415/ is apparently the
  upstream kernel patch, which should give a clearer idea of which
  architectures are likely to be affected - I noticed it on armhf.
