Hi all,
Through the RELEASE of glibc 2.31, it is found that the highest kernel version used in the test is 5.4,  Is there a compatibility problem if the kernel uses 5.10?
Through the changelog of the new version of glibc, it is found that the new version has updated syscall lists for Linux 5.10,  In addition, are there any other adaptation points for the 5.10 kernel?
   Has the community done a compatibility test between kernel 5.10 and glibc 2.31?

Thank you
Xie Chengliang

No, on the main architectures, all recent glibc releases are compatible
with all kernels from Linux 3.2 at run time.  There might be some quirks
around building glibc itself due to header incompatibilities, but those
do not extend to run-time issues.

Thanks,
Florian

Linux kernel motto is "we don't break userspace". So please don't worry, nothing
is gonna happen with your apps if you make use of a newer kernel version.
