Here's my current aarch64 patch set. As attached I don't know if the patches
will apply, I stripped bootstrap bash/mkdir/tar/xz out of the set so the email
won't be too big.
grep without custom phase:
The main purpose of this patch is so that it can be reapplied in the next
patch. Without the patch, fgrep is:
#! /gnu/store/eee...-bootstrap-binaries/bin/sh
exec /gnu/store/eee...-grep-2.28/bin/grep -F ...
and there's no simple way to fix that
This patch should work against master.
patch egrep/fgrep:
I don't believe this actually patches egrep/fgrep, just the version in /tmp
so that it passes the test. Regardless, it passes the test at unpack time,
and it works later on.
This patch breaks all the current architectures, since egrep/fgrep are
binaries pre grep-2.25.
daemon patch:
The if statement should be easy to write, but I'm having a really hard time
with it. Interestingly, when I used the armhf binary install tarball the
daemon there worked.
add bootstrap-binaries:
This one (still) isn't final, the ones currently hosted at the time of this
email were built without the first patch, so building failed.
Even with the patch to the test, not all the tests passed at last check.
gcc patch:
I don't know if this is necessary, but we try not to use lib64. There was
supposed to be another aarch64 gcc patch, to add aarch64 specific flags,
but all of the flags caused the bootstrapping GCCs to fail, so I had to take
them out. We'll have to figure something out, at the very least to make sure
we're targeting ARMv8-a and not 8.1 or 8.2 as more devices come out.
aarch64-linux-gnu target:
This one I tossed in.
Efraim Flashner (6):
gnu: %static-inputs: Use 'grep' without custom phase.
gnu: %bootstrap-coreutils&co: Patch egrep/fgrep to work regardless of
$PATH.
daemon: On aarch64, use increments of 16 on the stack.
gnu: Add bootstrap-binaries for 'aarch64-linux'.
gnu: gcc: Force Aarch64 to use /lib.
hydra: Add "aarch64-linux-gnu" as a cross-compilation target.

Am I right that this is not needed if we produce bootstrap binaries with
patch #1 applied? (That is, where ‘egrep’ and ‘fgrep’ look for ‘grep’
in $PATH.)
OTOH it cannot hurt, so it’s best to apply it.
Have you check whether it works on the other arches, which use an old
grep where ‘egrep’ and ‘fgrep’ are not scripts? (‘substitute*’ might
throw an exception if it’s passed a binary file, though I think that’s
not the case here.)
If it doesn’t break the other arches, OK for ‘core-updates’, thanks!
Ludo’.

I think we can make it unconditional. Could you test whether the
attached patch works for aarch64?

This one looks good. It would be nice to specify which commit was used
to produce the binaries though, and I would encourage using Guile 2.0.14
(I’m afraid you’ll be mad at me for asking you that ;-)) because it’s
bit-reproducible.
How does that sound?

I think they call it ARMv9 no? I would also add “This is currently in
an experimental stage, with limited support. @xref{Contributing}, for
how to help!”.

I think we should just skip this patch. There’s no reason one
architecture should be treated different from the others in that
respect.

before grep-2.25 egrep and fgrep are binary files. The one time I tried
it on x86_64 it failed spectacularly. In the end it definately needs
some sort of test to make sure its aarch64 (or another newly added
target)

I don't think it should cause a problem either way. As far as I can tell
it doesn't make a difference to the software built further down the
line.

Sounds good. I'll rebuild the bootstrap-binaries with guile-2.0.14 and

That actually sounds like a great idea. I started by copying Mark's
armhf patch, and I was wondering which commit he used. As far as
rebuilding the bootstrap-binaries, its much faster on my current
machine. (And by much faster I mean around 10 hours, not 15.)
As far as reproducability, of the 5 targets, in the past I found guile
and gcc to be unreproducable, so its great to see it down to just gcc.

I need to check if its ARMv8 or ARMv8-a, I don't actually remember.

I don't get 'failed to clone' or similar error like I did without
either patch, so it looks good.

Looks like I spoke too soon. I tried to build gccgo which failed at the
linking stage, since it turned out libgcc_s was in gccgo/lib64 and not
gccgo/lib. I then tried gcc@4.9 and had a similar failure, the lib files
were split between lib and lib64. Other than this patch (with a when
file-exists), the other idea is to change libdir in gcc.scm:86 to be
lib64 on aarch64.
Unfortunately it looks like it'd cause a full rebuild on core-updates.
I'll test it overnight and see how it goes.

As is, all of our GCC versions FTBFS on aarch64, except the versions used during bootstrapping. This includes gccgo, but I haven't checked the other 'special GCCs' to see if also affects them.
With the above patch I was able to build GCC@4.9 and gccgo, and gccgo@5 failed as expected.
Unfortunately pushing this patch would result in a full rebuild on core-updates. Suggestions?

Given that ‘core-updates’ is still in the stage where we haven’t build
everything, you could push this ‘substitute*’ statement now IMO.
It’s pretty bad that software insists on using /lib64 down the road,
though.
Thanks,

This patch, applied in February, contains a serious error. The stack
address passed to 'clone' is supposed to be near the end of the memory
block allocated for the stack, and that's how it was before this patch
was applied. Since this patch was applied, it now passes an address
very close to the *start* of the memory block.
This broke the daemon on mips64el in a subtle way that was rather
difficult to debug. After about six months of being too busy with other
things to investigate properly, I finally tracked it down to this
change.
I reverted this commit. Let's try again to find a proper fix for this
issue on aarch64.
Thanks,
Mark

How about doubling the size of the stack to [32 * 1024 * 2] and
changing the clone location to 'stack + sizeof(stack) - 16', does that
work for mips64el? With this revert the daemon is completely broken on
aarch64.

Arrgh, good catch; my bad! I wonder why this did not cause more
problems on other architectures.

Is there a need to double the size of the stack? If we have no reason
to think so, I'd rather leave it alone.

The problem with (stack + sizeof(stack) - 16) is that there's no
guarantee that 'stack' will be aligned on a 16-byte boundary. It might
be that if we add another local variable somewhere else in this
function, or if the compiler changes, we'll need to change the 16 to a
different number to make it work.
Can you try the following patch on aarch64 and report back?
Thanks,
Mark

Actually, the last patch was not quite right. C/C++ makes it rather
difficult to avoid edge cases in arithmetic. Can you try this one
instead?

The aarch64 machine that I tested this on built packages without any
problems. Looks good to me.
