Bug#1040817: glibc: Please ignore some tests on sparc64

Source: glibc
Version: 2.37-5
Severity: normal
User: [email protected]
Usertags: sparc64

Hi!

The list of currently failing tests on sparc64 is:

FAIL: elf/tst-audit24a
FAIL: elf/tst-audit24b
FAIL: elf/tst-audit24c
FAIL: elf/tst-audit24d
FAIL: elf/tst-rtld-run-static
FAIL: nptl/tst-cancel24-static
FAIL: nptl/tst-cancel30
FAIL: socket/tst-socket-timestamp
FAIL: stdlib/isomac

According to upstream, the following audit tests are not going to be
fixed soon since the SPARC ABI makes it more difficult:

FAIL: elf/tst-audit24a
FAIL: elf/tst-audit24b
FAIL: elf/tst-audit24c
FAIL: elf/tst-audit24d

These are going to be fixed upstream soon, the fixes are supposedly
trivial:

FAIL: elf/tst-rtld-run-static
FAIL: nptl/tst-cancel24-static
FAIL: nptl/tst-cancel30

This test is supposedly a kernel issue:

FAIL: socket/tst-socket-timestamp

And this one allegedly not related to sparc64:

FAIL: stdlib/isomac

So, my suggestion would be to ignore the following tests for now:

FAIL: elf/tst-audit24a
FAIL: elf/tst-audit24b
FAIL: elf/tst-audit24c
FAIL: elf/tst-audit24d
FAIL: socket/tst-socket-timestamp
FAIL: stdlib/isomac

And looking at the testsuite results with 32-bit tests enabled [1], it looks like
the failures are the same. So, I think we can just ignore the above tests and then
re-enable testing on 32 bit as well.

Thanks,
Adrian
