On a ppc64le host, running postgres (tried with 9.4 to 9.6) gives the following
warning when trying to flush data to disks (which happens very frequently):
WARNING: could not flush dirty data: Operation not permitted.
A quick dig in postgres source code indicate it uses sync_file_range(2) to
flush data; which on ppe64le and arm64 is translated to sync_file_range2(2)
for alignements reasons.
The profile did not allow sync_file_range2(2), making postgres sad because
it can not flush its buffers. arm_sync_file_range(2) is an ancient alias to
sync_file_range2(2), the syscall was renamed in Linux 2.6.22 when the same
syscall was added for PowerPC.

contrib
The contrib directory contains packages that do not belong in the core containerd packages but still contribute to overall containerd usability.
Package such as Apparmor or Selinux are placed in contrib because they are platform dependent and often require higher level tools and profiles to work.
Packaging and other built tools can be added to contrib to aid in packaging containerd for various distributions.
Testing
Code in the contrib directory may or may not have been tested in the normal test pipeline for core components.
