Subject: [VDSO] [x86_32] v5-3-rc1 needs vdso32=0 to get systemd-journald
 running

My first attempts to boot v5.3-rc1 on my (ancient) ThinkPad X41 made systemd-
journald crash. I kept ending up with nasty my messages on the console:

         Starting Journal Service...
[...]
[    7.143552] systemd-journald[213]: Assertion 'clock_gettime(map_clock_id(clock_id), &ts) == 0' failed at ../src/basic/time-util.c:55, function now(). Aborting.
[FAILED] Failed to start Journal Service.
See 'systemctl status systemd-journald.service' for details.
[    7.220367] systemd-coredump[217]: Cannot resolve systemd-coredump user. Proceeding to dump core as root: No such process
[  OK  ] Stopped Journal Service.

And without systemd-journald I couldn't get userspace up and running.

A bit of tinkering showed that "vdso32=0" on the kernel command line allows me
to get a usable userspace.

Any idea where I should look next to pinpoint this?

Thanks,


Paul Bolle
