| | Workaround / Fix | |-----------|----------------------| | clone3 not used by default | Set GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.pthread.stack_cache_size=... | | Rust binaries with cdylib may fail | Rebuild with newer Rust (1.55+) | | Some Go programs see SIGSYS | Update Go to 1.17+ | | pthread_setname_np behaviour changed | Thread name truncation to 15 chars (was 16) | Refined protections against stack-based buffer overflows

| | Purpose | |------------------|-------------| | strerrorname_np() | Return error constant name (e.g., "EINVAL") | | strerrordesc_np() | Return error description | | memset_explicit() | Secure memory zeroing | | pthread_cond_clockwait() | Condition wait with clock ID |
