[core-updates] libaio test fails on powerpc64le-linux due to kernel bug |

On the core-updates branch, libaio has been updated to version 0.3.113.
This version contains a new test which fails on guixp9 (one of the
powerpc64le-linux builders) due to a bug present in the kernel it is
running:

The header of libaio/harness/cases/23.t says:
* Verify that aio poll doesn't miss any events. This is a regression test for
* kernel commit 363bee27e258 ("aio: keep poll requests on waitqueue until
* completed")ยน.
guixp9 is running kernel linux-image-5.10.0-0.bpo.8-powerpc64le version
5.10.46-4~bpo10+1. The kernel commit mentioned above was backported to
upstream stable kernel 5.10.85, which was included in Debian's
linux-image version 5.10.92-1, available in the buster-backports kernel.
So long story short, we need to update guixp9's kernel so that we can
build core-update's libaio. I suggest we take the opportunity to update
all of the Debian packages as well.
I don't have access to guixp9's console, so unfortunately I can't
perform the update. Or rather, I can if someone else reboots the machine
afterwards and fixes any boot issues that could come up (hopefully not
but it's always a possibility).

Thanks so much for reporting this. I think the berlin connected machines
were handled via guix-devel, and I've just updated polaris (which builds
powerpc64le-linux) for the bordeaux build farm.
I'm going to close this issue.
