Thanks for the report! I can confirm this reproduces as you described. It also does appear to be related to seccomp. Briefly, you should see something like this logged on startup: The default policy for linux/amd64 is defined here: https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/7e4affb6702a39f378170b8866f966d1b29e06fc/libbeat/common/seccomp/policy_linux_amd64.go#L25. This policy can be redefined via the apm-server.yml, adding example configYou may also disable seccomp altogether with |

Thanks for the answer, your workaround seems to work fine indeed! I'll open an issue in the beats repository, mentioning this one. Should we keep this issue open until apm-server has updated its dependency to beats? |

Yes, let's keep this open until the dependency update. Thanks again! |

clone3 is a linux syscall that is now used by glibc starting version 2.34. It is used when pthread_create() gets called. Current seccomp filters do not allow this syscall leading to crashes like runtime/cgo: pthread_create failed: Operation not permitted See elastic/apm-server#6238 for more details

APM Server version (
apm-server version):apm-server version 8.0.0 (amd64), libbeat 8.0.0 [unknown built unknown] (current master but the issue also applies to previous apm-server version)
Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior:
Since we upgraded to glibc 2.34, the apm-server crashes quite rapidly with the following error:
Steps to reproduce:
Please include a minimal but complete recreation of the problem,
including server configuration, agent(s) used, etc. The easier you make it
for us to reproduce it, the more likely that somebody will take the time to
look at it.

** Additional information **
This issue started to happen as soon as we switched to glibc 2.34. It did not happen on glibc 2.33. Downgrading glibc from 2.34 to 2.33 resolves the issue, with the exact same binaries. This problem might as well be a golang bug but I'm not really sure and since I don't see any issue on their bug tracker, I'm wondering if we are the only ones hitting this.
Glibc 2.34 started to use the new
clone3syscall on thread creation (in thepthread_create()function from my understanding). This syscall sometimes returnsEPERMleading to the following crash (https://github.com/golang/go/blob/4e308d73ba3610838305997b6f4793c4f4dcfc4e/src/runtime/cgo/gcc_libinit.c#L94). I say "sometimes" because there are other successfulclone3()calls before.I've seen a few projects that also had issue with this new syscall (Docker, Firefox and Chromium). They all mention issues with their sandbox which is based on seccomp. I see the APM project also depend on https://github.com/elastic/go-seccomp-bpf. I couldn't see it really used or even any syscall filtering on the go-seccomp-bpf project as there are on the previously mentionned projets, but maybe I'm overlooking something?
It's also worth to mention that running as root doesn't fix the
Operation not permittederror.Let me know if you need any other information, I'm not a go expert at all. Thanks for any help you could provide, I'll keep looking on my side.
