I heard that the app depends on the kernel version of Linux, so I can't update the kernel.I would like to know exactly what apps are going to be like.
For example, is there an application that stopped working because I used the removed ABI as written in the URL below?
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/Documentation/ABI

Or is there an example of a change in code in the kernel that changes speed and affects multi-threaded/multiprocessing?

It does not include programs that assume dedicated modules for the purpose of controlling specific hardware.I would like to know not about user space such as dependence on glibc, but an example where the app depends on the Linux kernel, and if you upgrade the kernel version, it will stop working or behave strangely.I think this kind of problem probably occurs with Docker who can't change the Linux kernel version.

I'm not sure if this is an app issue, but when I was using VMware Server 2, I couldn't upgrade the kernel version because I couldn't compile the drivers.

Also, although it's not an app, there was a time when there was a bug in xfs, and unfortunately there were a few NASs that were shipped using the kernel at that time.If you raise the kernel of this type of NAS, the kernel could not be raised because the bug fixed file system was applied and the file system could not be read at all.I remember that it was an ARMOABI dependent issue.

Both are written in memory, so the details are ambiguous, but I don't know if it's the answer the questioner intended, so I'll leave it as a passing comment as far as I can remember.If you are interested, you can find the details by searching.
