Hi,

Yocto Project version 5.2_M2 uses glibc 2.41 and strace 6.10.
Both define struct sched_attr --> got build error "redefinition of struct sched_attr"
This struct is defined into:
 - glibc 2.41: sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/sched.h
 - strace 6.10: src/sched_attr.h

Note: glibc 2.40 + strace 6.10 are OK

Please consider this point.

I asked Yash to look at this briefly. He said:


I didn't find any bug reported in glibc bugzilla for "redefinition of struct sched_attr".

 

However, a similar case was addressed in Qemu with a patch by Khem :

https://github.com/qemu/qemu/commit/27a8d899c7a100fd5aa040a8b993bb257687c393

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/qemu-devel/patch/20241011193140.1047648-1-raj.khem@gmail.com/

 

Perhaps a similar macro check can be done for strace too.

Anh,
does this still happen for 5.2-M4 and/or master?
Can you explain why we did not see this in our Yocto AB testing?
What exactly are the steps to reproduce.

Hi Randy,

Sorry for my mistake.
I got issue because I used old strace version with new glibc version.
There is no issue with Yocto 5.2_M3.
I will verify more carefully before creating a bug later.

Best Regards,
Anh Nguyen

Anh, thanks for the follow-up.
It's good that this isn't a bug that we missed.
