Description adi 2010-04-19 21:28:40 UTC 
2.6.34-rc4 uname(2) from a x86_32 process copies out 325 bytes rather than the 390 bytes that 2.6.31 copied out (and that userland expects):

2.6.31.12% cat foo.c
main()
{
        char buf[1000];
        memset(buf, 'x', sizeof(buf));
        uname(buf);
        write(1, buf, sizeof(buf));
        return 0;
}

This results in 32-bit applications that attempt to use libnss_nis's getpwuid() to fail with "YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: Domain not bound", because they use an uninitialized value for domainname.

Just to clarify (?), that's a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel, right?

erk.  Christoph, did "improve sys_newuname() for compat architectures" cause this?

Yes, that's right, i686 process on amd64 kernel.

I'd prefer to keep the discussion in the lkml thread <20100419192147.GP11130@hexapodia.org> aka http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/4/19/272

Thanks,
