Add backport for (s390x) endian fixes to ceph nautilus

[Frank Heimes]

[Impact]
Ceph is not functional on big-endian deployments (s390x)

[Test Case]
Deploy ceph on a s390x (using Juju charms).
Monitors will fail to start, OSD's won't bootstrap.

[Regression Potential]
Low, patch has had lots of review upstream and has been accepted into the nautilus stable branch which is the release Ubuntu has in Focal and Eoan.

[Original Bug Report]
Since 'luminous' ceph (and in particular ceph-mon) fails on the s390x big endian platform.

A bug for that was already raised in 2017 - LP 1713032:
"[luminous] ceph-mon crashes when it is elected leader (s390x)"
https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-archive/+bug/1713032

It was a longer running task to get things fixed for s390x.
And finally uweigand (many thx Uli) got everything accepted upstream:
"Fix big-endian handling #30079" - https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/30079

In parallel to that there is also a backport of these s390x endianess fixes for ceph 'nautilus':
"nautilus: backport endian fixes #30697" - https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/30697

This ticket is to get this upstream checked, tested and partly approved 'nautilus' backport integrated into the UCA ceph 'nautilus'.

Hello Frank, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ceph into eoan-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ceph/14.2.4-0ubuntu0.19.10.1 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 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-eoan to verification-done-eoan. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-eoan. 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.

The bugzilla-bridge accidentally removed the verification tags - now added them again.

I have tested this with Eoan proposed - ceph-mon now bootstraps and ceph reports that an OK health status:

https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/9brKDGmHcf/

ceph-osd also passes a storage test once related to this particular ceph-mon, when the following was executed from one of the ceph-mon nodes:

$ sudo ceph osd pool create rbd 128
$ echo 123456789 > /tmp/input.txt
$ sudo rados put -p rbd test_input /tmp/input.txt
$ sudo rados get -p rbd test_input /dev/stdout
123456789

[Frank Heimes (fheimes)]

Many thx Andrew - looks good.
I'm adjusting the tags accordingly.

Hello Frank, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ceph into train-proposed. The package will build now and be available in the Ubuntu Cloud Archive in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. To enable the -proposed repository:

  sudo add-apt-repository cloud-archive:train-proposed
  sudo apt-get update

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-train-needed to verification-train-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-train-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!

The bugzilla-bridge again accidentally removed a verification tag - added it again.
(Problem is already reported.)

Verified functionality in bionic, train-proposed, both status and a functional test (storage) work OK -

Same test and results in comment #5, Test Case is OK
