Bug Description

SRU Justification:

[Impact]
A fix is needed for qemu-kvm to compile the virtio-9p-handle.c file.

[Development Fix]
This is fixed in quantal.

[Stable Fix]
A fix can be backported from quantal into precise.

[Test Case]
Try to compile the virtio-9p-handle.c file in qemu-kvm.

[Regression Potential]
This patch adds AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW, AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT, AT_EMPTY_PATH, and AT_EACCESS to the proper fcntl.h files.

--

This bug is not upstream, and the define is too new to appear in debian. Upstream, AT_EMPTY_PATH is defined in io/fcntl.h. In debian, debian/patches/any/submitted-bits-fcntl_h-at.diff moves the *AT defines into the per-arch bits/fcntl.h files. The ubuntu-specific merge of newer upstream updated the patch doing so to remove the AT_EMPTY_PATH with the rest of that blcok from io/fcntl.c, but does not add it to the bits/fcntl.h files.

This is needed for qemu-kvm to compile the virtio-9p-handle.c file.

A debdiff is attached which adds the definition.

This bug was fixed in the package eglibc - 2.15-0ubuntu16

---------------
eglibc (2.15-0ubuntu16) quantal; urgency=low

  * Backport fix from 2.16 to fix htons() conversion errors on non-x86
    architectures, by correctly casting to uint16_t (LP: #1016349)
  * Restore missing AT_EMPTY_PATH definition in fnctl.h (LP: #1010069)
  * Backport FMA4/AVX detection from glibc 2.16 (LP: #956051, #979003)
  * Backport fixups to AVX-using code to match the detection backport.

Hello Serge, or anyone else affected,

Accepted eglibc into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eglibc/2.15-0ubuntu10.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

Confirmed. qemu-kvm tree without define_AT_EMPTY_PATH.patch applied builds
fine with the new eglibc, and fails without.

Precise-proposed does indeed fix this. I can now pop the patch in qemu-kvm package defining AT_EMPTY_PATH, and it still compiles. With precise-updates it does not.
