2022-09-05 13:44:30 Dimitri John Ledkov description gzip version 1.10-4ubuntu3 fails to run under WSL1 on Windows 19044.1620, making WSL pretty much unusable. bash: /usr/bin/gzip: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 22.04 Package: gzip 1.10-4ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Microsoft 4.4.0-19041.1237-Microsoft 4.4.35 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-19041-Microsoft x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu79 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown Date: Tue Mar 29 06:40:33 2022 ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8 SHELL=/usr/bin/fish SourcePackage: gzip UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) [Impact] * Optimization features included in jammy cause atypical alignment of LOAD ELF sections. This in turn causes failure to execute binaries on WSL1. Upstream have since integrated the optimization features included in jammy, but also reverted alignment to a previously used one. This also results in working binary under WSL1. * Cherry-pick upstream applied revert to alignment to resolve running gzip under WSL1. [Test Plan] * Use powershell to set default WSL version to 1 * Deploy WSL1, unpack and use updated gzip package * gzip --version should execute correctly under WSL 1 [Where problems could occur] * I cannot tell why performance improvement patches introduced alignment change, and if revert of the alignment change affects the performance. Note that this change aligns the codebase closer to what kinetic & upstream now are. [Other Info] * This bug fix is upstream commit https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gzip.git/commit/gzip.c?id=23a870d14a49803c6d2579071886c1acf497c9d1 --- gzip version 1.10-4ubuntu3 fails to run under WSL1 on Windows 19044.1620, making WSL pretty much unusable. bash: /usr/bin/gzip: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 22.04 Package: gzip 1.10-4ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Microsoft 4.4.0-19041.1237-Microsoft 4.4.35 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-19041-Microsoft x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu79 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown Date: Tue Mar 29 06:40:33 2022 ProcEnviron:  TERM=xterm-256color  PATH=(custom, no user)  LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8  SHELL=/usr/bin/fish SourcePackage: gzip UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)
