IPEX 2.5 XPU and 2.6 XPU cannot be imported with GLIBC 2.41 #794

Hi @Disty0 , we don't have OS Arch Linux support. May I know how you install the driver on Arch Linux? |
|
It works in Fedora and inside Intel's Python Conda environment with the pip installation using Python 3.12 for me doing inference. |
intel-compute-runtime-bin package takes the .deb files from the intel-compute-runtime github releases and installs them for Arch Linux via makepkg: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/intel-compute-runtime-bin Other GPU related stuff and even pure PyTorch XPU works fine on the GPU, only issue is with IPEX 2.5 and 2.6. IPEX 2.5 was working before and broke after a large update. I don't know and remember exactly which package causes this but a lot of compiler related stuff like glibc and llvm was updated. It broke somewhere between February 1st and 4th. A news feed i can find between those dates is this: https://archlinux.org/news/glibc-241-corrupting-discord-installation/ |

I can reproduce the exact same issue on Ubuntu 25.04 / plucky with glibc 2.41. Run Ubuntu plucky in docker: docker run -it --device /dev/dri --name ubuntu_plucky ubuntu:plucky /bin/bashWithin ubuntu plucky docker image: apt update
apt install python3.12 python3.12-venv python3-pip
apt upgrade -y
python3.12 -m venv venv

Otherwise, there might be something wrong with your environment. Did you have `libjpeg` or `libpng` installed before building `torchvision` from source?

I think I found the issue. In GLIBC 2.41 release notes, the following is stated.
It seems like we are seeing the result of this change here. Edit: I did some more digging and ValveSoftware/Source-1-Games#6978 (comment) has a good writeup about this issue and a source from Redhat describing this issue. It seems like setting linker flags that explicitly marks the stack as executable or not solves this. |

changed the title

Changed the issue title from Arch Linux to GLIBC 2.41 as it is reproducible on other distros with GLIBC 2.41 too. |
|
I found a workaround to run ipex 2.6 for libintel-ext-pt-cpu.so error, with patching : sudo patchelf --clear-execstack /path/to/libintel-ext-pt-cpu.so, as i was encountering this error too, from 2.5 without success. |

Same error reported on Arch Linux, I fix the error using execstack: execstack -c /path/to/libintel-ext-pt-cpu.so |
Describe the bug
IPEX 2.5 XPU and 2.6 XPU cannot be imported on latest Arch Linux.
IPEX 2.3 and below and pure PyTorch 2.5 / 2.6 / 2.7 XPU without IPEX is not affected / works fine.
Importing IPEX 2.5 XPU and 2.6 XPU throws the following error:
And running
execstack -cthrows the following error:(venv25) disty:~ $ execstack -c venv25/lib/python3.12/site-packages/intel_extension_for_pytorch/lib/libintel-ext-pt-cpu.so execstack: venv25/lib/python3.12/site-packages/intel_extension_for_pytorch/lib/libintel-ext-pt-cpu.so: section file offsets not monotonically increasingonnxruntime-openvino also suffers from a similar error but running
