sync_file_range fails in nspawn containers on arm, ppc

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/13352/commits/90ddac6087b5f8f3736364cfdf698e713f7e8869.patch

this is cherrypickable, yes.

I'm having trouble reproducing this on a Bionic nspawn container on arm64; what host release, and container release, are you using? Are you using the latest glibc and systemd?

Can't check at the moment, but details should have been added by apport.

Is it possible arm64 abi is different from armhf (32bit?)

ah, that was it, thanks, I can reproduce it now :)

The test case here should explain to the tester how to set up an nspawn container to reproduce this.

Hello Steve, or anyone else affected,

Accepted systemd into disco-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/240-6ubuntu5.8 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 on 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 add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-disco to verification-done-disco. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-disco. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

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

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

All autopkgtests for the newly accepted systemd (240-6ubuntu5.8) for disco have finished running.
The following regressions have been reported in tests triggered by the package:

prometheus-bind-exporter/unknown (armhf)
php7.2/7.2.24-0ubuntu0.19.04.1 (armhf)
gvfs/1.40.1-1ubuntu0.1 (ppc64el)
pdns-recursor/unknown (armhf)
webhook/unknown (armhf)
munin/2.0.47-1ubuntu3 (armhf, arm64)
systemd/240-6ubuntu5.8 (ppc64el)

Please visit the excuses page listed below and investigate the failures, proceeding afterwards as per the StableReleaseUpdates policy regarding autopkgtest regressions [1].

Thank you!

@vorlon, will do my best to test the disco version, but I don't currently have an ARM disco environment, and usual health battles mean it'll probably be a struggle to set one up - I'll have a go though!

The bionic version I will of course be all over :)

OK, I've had a go, but oddly I can't reproduce this in a disco VM at the moment, which makes testing the fix tricky..

OK, so my kernel didn't have seccomp support compiled in and systemd just silently fails to set seccomp filters in that case.

Have now reproduced the bug on an armhf disco VM, and verified that the package in proposed, 240-6ubuntu5.8 fixes it.
