The kselftest-vDSO/vdso_test_abi test encounters failures when built
and executed using GCC-13 on armv7 architecture.
The issue has been observed on both TI X15 devices and QEMU-armv7.
Interestingly, the same test passes without any issues when built using
Clang-19.This failure is specific to GCC-13. but test case should have
been failed on clang toolchain but it did not.
The Clang toolchain likely defaults to the traditional 32-bit time_t on
32-bit Debian Trixie (except x86), leading to an ABI issue similar to
older compilers. This is affecting compatibility.
This is not a new regression,
this report generated on Linux next but also seen on Linux stable tree.
Test name: kselftest-vDSO/vdso_test_abi
Fails: gcc-13
pass: clang-19
Arnd Bergmann investigated and proposed a patch which fixes the problem.
