Description Julien Delquié 2022-01-29 10:28:13 UTC
If I look to journalctl -nall --unit=systemd-binfmt.service, and update dates of sys-apps/systemd, there is an issue about systemd-binfmt since 27 december 2021 and sys-apps/systemd-250-r1 version.

The service systemd-binfmt does not start:

déc. 27 18:27:16 pasokon.maison systemd[1]: Starting Set Up Additional Binary Formats...
déc. 27 18:27:16 pasokon.maison systemd[1]: systemd-binfmt.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
déc. 27 18:27:16 pasokon.maison systemd[1]: systemd-binfmt.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
déc. 27 18:27:16 pasokon.maison systemd[1]: Failed to start Set Up Additional Binary Formats.

Then since 1 january 2022:

janv. 01 11:48:45 pasokon.maison systemd[1]: Starting Set Up Additional Binary Formats...
janv. 01 11:48:45 pasokon.maison systemd-binfmt[496]: Failed to flush binfmt_misc rules, ignoring: No such file or directory
janv. 01 11:48:45 pasokon.maison systemd[1]: systemd-binfmt.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
janv. 01 11:48:45 pasokon.maison systemd[1]: systemd-binfmt.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
janv. 01 11:48:45 pasokon.maison systemd[1]: Failed to start Set Up Additional Binary Formats.

Same again today (sys-apps/systemd-250.3):

janv. 29 08:59:47 pasokon.maison systemd[1]: Starting Set Up Additional Binary Formats...
janv. 29 08:59:47 pasokon.maison systemd-binfmt[529]: Failed to flush binfmt_misc rules, ignoring: No such file or directory
janv. 29 08:59:47 pasokon.maison systemd[1]: systemd-binfmt.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
janv. 29 08:59:47 pasokon.maison systemd[1]: systemd-binfmt.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
janv. 29 08:59:47 pasokon.maison systemd[1]: Failed to start Set Up Additional Binary Formats.

Furthermore, there is nothing in /etc/binfmt.d and /usr/lib/binfmt.d. Maybe this leads to the issue?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have systemd and no files in /etc/binfmt.d and /usr/lib/binfmt.d
2. Look at journalctl -nall --unit=systemd-binfmt.service
Actual Results:  
systemd-binfmt fails to start.

Expected Results:  
systemd-binfmt start with success.
Comment 1 Julien Delquié 2022-01-29 10:34:02 UTC
Also, I have this in my kernel config:
$ grep -r CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC .config
# CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC is not set

Maybe I should set it?
Comment 2 Julien Delquié 2022-01-29 10:54:53 UTC
Ok, after setting CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC, everything is now ok!

$ grep -r CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC .config
CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC=y

journalctl -e --unit=systemd-binfmt.service
janv. 29 11:50:34 pasokon.maison systemd[1]: Starting Set Up Additional Binary Formats...
janv. 29 11:50:34 pasokon.maison systemd[1]: Finished Set Up Additional Binary Formats.

Sorry for the useless bugreport!
