https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/log/?h=wip-ppc

The wip-ppc branch on Savannah is currently in a good state. With the
recent rapid churn on core-updates I haven't been very quick about
rebasing on core-updates but I can confirm that building out to mesa
works. Building is slow, it took 6 days to build from guile-final to
mesa without stopping.

The patches start with adding the bootstrap binaries for powerpc.

The next patch fixes guile-3.0.2+ on powerpc (and probably other 32-bit
big-endian systems) and is the result of almost 3 weeks of bisecting.

Next is a patch for binutils to disable one of the tests. The test is
new to core-updates, and fails on powerpc-linux but not the other
architectures we support.

The mesa patch works, but I have to see about enabling the tests. I have
also tested updating mesa and enabling the llvm backend on aarch64 and
the tests no longer fail there, so I'll do another couple (3 hour) mesa
builds to see if the comment needs adjusting or if the tests can be
enabled on powerpc-linux.

mac-fdisk I didn't have a solid reason to put in the wip-ppc branch but
there it is. I need to change CC=gcc to use cc-for-target.

The patch for american-fuzzy-lop I snuck into master

the qemu-command in gnu/build/vm shouldn't overlap with ppc64le.

the last two patches, disabling the tests for mercurial and nss, can
probably be dropped. The comments are accurate though, and we have done
similar in the past on mips64le and armhf.

+PowerPC machines.  @code{mac-fdisk} is an interactive tool with a menu similar
+to PC @code{fdisk}, supported options are somewhat different from PC
+@code{fdisk} due to the differences in partition format.")

++mac-fdisk for DEBIAN
++----------------------
++
++Comments regarding mac-fdisk
++
++mac-fdisk provides Apple partition format utilities required for
++installation of Debian/68k on Apple Macintosh computers. The Debian version
++of mac-fdisk is derived from pdisk 0.4a2 (pdisk.970115.tar) by Eryk Vershen 
++(eryk@apple.com).
++pmac-fdisk is a version of the PC partition format utilities for PowerPC
++computers, taken from the same pdisk source version and can be used for
++installation of Debian/68k on PC partition format disks on Macintosh.
++
++Modifications have been made to the pdisk partition table output code to permit
++parsing the output of 'mac-fdisk -l' in a manner consistent with other Linux
++fdisk utilities. (Christiaan Welvaart, <>)

++.TH MAC-FDISK 8 "1 December 2001" "Debian" "Apple Disk Partitioning Manual"
++.SH NAME
++mac-fdisk \- Apple partition table editor for Linux
++.SH SYNOPSIS
++.B mac-fdisk
++.B "[ \-h | \--help ] [ \-v | \--version ] [ \-l | \--list device ... ]"
++.br
++.B mac-fdisk
++.B "[ \-r | \--readonly ] device ... "
++.SH DESCRIPTION
++.B mac-fdisk
++is a command line type program which partitions disks using the standard Apple
++disk partitioning scheme described in "Inside Macintosh: Devices".
++The
++.I device
++is usually one of the following:
++
++.nf
++.RS
++/dev/sda
++/dev/sdb
++/dev/sdc
++/dev/sdd
++/dev/sde
++/dev/sdf
++/dev/sdg
++/dev/hda
++/dev/hdb
++
++.RE
++.fi
++/dev/sda is the first hard disk on the SCSI bus (i.e. the
++one with the lowest id), /dev/sdb is the second hard disk, and so on.
++The
++.I partition
++is a
++.I device
++name followed by a partition number.
++The partition number is the index (starting from one) of the partition
++map entry in the partition map (and the partition map itself occupies the
++first entry).
++For example,
++.B /dev/sda2
++is the partition described by the second entry in the partiton map on /dev/sda.
++
++.SH OPTIONS
++.TP
++.B \-v | \--version
++Prints version number of the
++.B mac-fdisk
++program.
++.TP
++.B \-h | \--help
++Prints a list of available commands for the
++.B mac-fdisk
++program.
++.TP
++.B \-l | \--list
++Lists the partition tables for the specified
++.IR device(s).
++With no 
++.IR device(s)
++given, lists all SCSI and IDE devices found in the system.
++.TP
++.B \-r | \--readonly
++Prevents
++.B mac-fdisk
++from writing to the device.
++.SH "Editing Partition Tables"
++An argument which is simply the name of a
++.I device
++indicates that
++.B mac-fdisk
++should edit the partition table of that device. Once started, 
++.B mac-fdisk 
++presents an interactive command prompt to edit the partition table. 
++The partition editing commands are:
++
++.nf
++.RS
++h    list available commands
++p    print (list) the current edited partition table status
++P    print ordered by base address
++i    initialize the partition map
++s    change size of partition map
++b    create new 800K Apple_Bootstrap partition (used by yaboot)
++c    create new standard Linux type partition
++C    create new partition, specifying the partition type
++d    delete a partition
++r    reorder partition entry
++w    write the partition table to disk
++q    quit 
++
++.RE
++.fi
++Commands which take arguments prompt for each argument in turn.
++You can also type the arguments separated by spaces
++and those prompts will be skipped. The
++.B i
++and
++.B w
++commands will prompt for confirmation. None of the editing you do will 
++actually affect the state of the disk you are partitioning until the 
++.B w 
++command is issued. Then the map in its edited state will be 
++permanently written to the disk.
++
++Partitions are always specified by their number, the index of the
++partition entry in the partition map.  Many commands will change the
++index numbers of partitions which follow the affected partition; you are
++encouraged to use the 
++.B p
++command to print the partition table as frequently as necessary. For SCSI
++disks, the partition table should not contain more than fifteen partitions 
++(partition map excluded). IDE disks have a limit of 31 partitions.
++
++Here is a more-or-less typical output for the print command:
++
++.nf
++.RS
++Command (? for help): p

++
++.RE
++.fi
++
++The
++.B i
++(initialize) command prompts for the size of the device.  You can just
++type Return to accept the offered size, which should be correct.
++
++The
++.B b
++command is a shortcut to create the bootstrap partition used on PowerPC
++NewWorld machines. It is equivalent to creating an 800k
++.B Apple_Bootstrap
++type partition using the 
++.B C
++command described below. The sole purpose of this partition is to
++store the boot loader. In multiboot environments, the first bootable
++partition found on the disk takes precedence unless a specific boot
++partition is set in OpenFirmware, so it's best to create the bootstrap
++partition first, or move it to a position before any
++.B Apple_HFS 
++or 
++.B Apple_Boot
++partitions using the 
++.B r
++command described below. Then you will still able to boot Linux after
++the occasional OpenFirmware reset.
++
++The
++.B c
++(create new partition) command has three arguments. As mentioned
++above you can type the arguments following the command, separated by
++spaces, or respond to prompts for each argument:
++
++  1) The base address of the start of the partition.
++
++     You can specify a number in blocks (most likely reading from the
++     existing partition map) or you can also type a partition number
++     followed by the letter 'p' to indicate that the new partition
++     should take the place of that existing free space partition.
++
++  2) The length of the partition.
++
++     Again, you can specify a number in blocks or type a partition
++     number followed by the letter 'p' to indicate use of the entire
++     partition. You can also type a number followed by 'k', 'm', or
++     'g' to indicate the size in kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes
++     respectively. (These are powers of 1024, of course, not powers
++     of 1000.)
++
++  3) The name of the partition.
++
++     This can be a single word without quotes, or a string surrounded
++     by single or double quotes. It is best to name any swap partition
++     you create `swap'; other partition names are up to you. The names
++     are not visible to Linux.
++
++The
++.B C
++command is identical to the
++.B c
++command, with the addition of a partition type argument after the
++other arguments. The partition type used for Linux swap and data partitons
++is 
++.B APPLE_UNIX_SVR2
++(this is the partition type created by the 
++.B c
++command). Under normal circumstances, you should not need to use this
++command.
++
++The
++.B d
++command deletes the partition number specified, replacing that partition 
++with partitionable free space.
++
++The
++.B r
++(reorder) command allows the index number of partitions to be changed.
++The index numbers are constrained to be a contiguous sequence. 
++.B mac-fdisk
++will enforce this constraint by recalculating the partition numbers
++after each insert, delete or reorder operation. OpenFirmware looks for
++bootable partitions in the order specified by the index. The
++partitions are not moved on the disk. This command takes two
++arguments, the number of the partition to be moved and the partition
++number it should become.
++
++The
++.B w
++command writes the partition map out to disk. Note that partition
++maps for disks with mounted partitions cannot immediately be
++reinterpreted by the kernel. In order to use the new partition map you
++must reboot. Within the Debian installer system, 
++.B mac-fdisk 
++is normally invoked before any partitions are mounted, thus a reboot is not 
++necessary before continuing the installation.
++
++The
++.B q
++command terminates the program. If there was no 
++.B w
++command issued during the program run, then there will be no effect on the disk.
++
++.SH BUGS
++Some people believe there should really be just one disk partitioning utility.
++
++.B mac-fdisk
++should be able to create HFS partitions that work. Currently, if a
++pre-existing HFS partition is resized, MacOS will continue to use the
++partition size stored in the HFS 'superblock' instead of using the size from
++the partition table (the MacOS volume on the partition remains valid even
++though the sizes don't match anymore). This can have undesired side effects
++especially when creating a smaller HFS partition followed by a few Linux 
++partitions in place of the previous HFS partition space. To avoid this 
++issue, create MacOS partitions within MacOS and then don't resize them 
++in 
++.B mac-fdisk.

++found in sector 0 of the disk.
++
++In the BSD world one talks about `disk slices' and a `disklabel'.
++
++Linux needs at least one partition, namely for its root file system.
++It can use swap files and/or swap partitions, but the latter are more
++efficient. So, usually one will want a second Linux partition
++dedicated as swap partition.
++On Intel compatible hardware, the BIOS that boots the system
++can often only access the first 1024 cylinders of the disk.
++For this reason people with large disks often create a third partition,
++just a few MB large, typically mounted on
++.IR /boot ,
++to store the kernel image and a few auxiliary files needed at boot time,
++so as to make sure that this stuff is accessible to the BIOS.
++There may be reasons of security, ease of administration and backup,
++or testing, to use more than the minimum number of partitions.
++
++.B pmac-fdisk
++(in the first form of invocation)
++is a menu driven program for creation and manipulation of
++partition tables.
++It understands DOS type partition tables and BSD or SUN type disklabels.
++
++The
++.I device
++is usually one of the following:
++.br
++.nf
++.RS
++/dev/hda
++/dev/hdb
++/dev/sda
++/dev/sdb
++.RE
++.fi
++(/dev/hd[a-h] for IDE disks, /dev/sd[a-p] for SCSI disks).
++A device name refers to the entire disk.
++
++The
++.I partition
++is a
++.I device
++name followed by a partition number.  For example,
++.B /dev/hda1
++is the first partition on the first IDE hard disk in the system.
++IDE disks can have up to 63 partitions, SCSI disks up to 15.
++See also
++.IR /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt .
++
++A BSD/SUN type disklabel can describe 8 partitions,
++the third of which should be a `whole disk' partition.
++Do not start a partition that actually uses its first sector
++(like a swap partition) at cylinder 0, since that will
++destroy the disklabel.
++
++An IRIX/SGI type disklabel can describe 16 partitions,
++the eleventh of which should be an entire `volume' partition,
++while the ninth should be labeled `volume header'.
++The volume header will also cover the partition table, i.e.,
++it starts at block zero and extends by default over five cylinders.
++The remaining space in the volume header may be used by header
++directory entries.  No partitions may overlap with the volume header.
++Also do not change its type and make some file system on it, since
++you will lose the partition table.  Use this type of label only when
++working with Linux on IRIX/SGI machines or IRIX/SGI disks under Linux.
++
++A DOS type partition table can describe an unlimited number
++of partitions. In sector 0 there is room for the description
++of 4 partitions (called `primary'). One of these may be an
++extended partition; this is a box holding logical partitions,
++with descriptors found in a linked list of sectors, each
++preceding the corresponding logical partitions.
++The four primary partitions, present or not, get numbers 1-4.
++Logical partitions start numbering from 5.
++
++In a DOS type partition table the starting offset and the size
++of each partition is stored in two ways: as an absolute number
++of sectors (given in 32 bits) and as a Cylinders/Heads/Sectors
++triple (given in 10+8+6 bits). The former is OK - with 512-byte
++sectors this will work up to 2 TB. The latter has two different
++problems. First of all, these C/H/S fields can be filled only
++when the number of heads and the number of sectors per track
++are known. Secondly, even if we know what these numbers should be,
++the 24 bits that are available do not suffice.
++DOS uses C/H/S only, Windows uses both, Linux never uses C/H/S.
++
++If possible,
++.B pmac-fdisk
++will obtain the disk geometry automatically.  This is not
++necessarily the physical disk geometry (indeed, modern disks do not
++really have anything like a physical geometry, certainly not something
++that can be described in simplistic Cylinders/Heads/Sectors form),
++but is the disk geometry that MS-DOS uses for the partition table.
++
++Usually all goes well by default, and there are no problems if
++Linux is the only system on the disk. However, if the disk has
++to be shared with other operating systems, it is often a good idea
++to let an fdisk from another operating system make at least one
++partition. When Linux boots it looks at the partition table, and
++tries to deduce what (fake) geometry is required for good
++cooperation with other systems.
++
++Whenever a partition table is printed out, a consistency check is performed
++on the partition table entries.  This check verifies that the physical and
++logical start and end points are identical, and that the partition starts
++and ends on a cylinder boundary (except for the first partition).
++
++Some versions of MS-DOS create a first partition which does not begin
++on a cylinder boundary, but on sector 2 of the first cylinder.
++Partitions beginning in cylinder 1 cannot begin on a cylinder boundary, but
++this is unlikely to cause difficulty unless you have OS/2 on your machine.
++
++A sync() and a BLKRRPART ioctl() (reread partition table from disk)
++are performed before exiting when the partition table has been updated.
++Long ago it used to be necessary to reboot after the use of pmac-fdisk.
++I do not think this is the case anymore - indeed, rebooting too quickly
++might cause loss of not-yet-written data. Note that both the kernel
++and the disk hardware may buffer data.
++
++.SH "DOS 6.x WARNING"
++
++The DOS 6.x FORMAT command looks for some information in the first
++sector of the data area of the partition, and treats this information
++as more reliable than the information in the partition table.  DOS
++FORMAT expects DOS FDISK to clear the first 512 bytes of the data area
++of a partition whenever a size change occurs.  DOS FORMAT will look at
++this extra information even if the /U flag is given -- we consider
++this a bug in DOS FORMAT and DOS FDISK.
++
++The bottom line is that if you use pmac-fdisk to change the size of a
++DOS partition table entry, then you must also use
++.B dd
++to zero the first 512 bytes of that partition before using DOS FORMAT to
++format the partition.  For example, if you were using pmac-fdisk to make a 
++DOS partition table entry for /dev/hda1, then (after exiting pmac-fdisk 
++and rebooting Linux so that the partition table information is valid) you
++would use the command "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda1 bs=512 count=1" to zero
++the first 512 bytes of the partition.
++
++.B BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL
++if you use the
++.B dd
++command, since a small typo can make all of the data on your disk useless.
++
++For best results, you should always use an OS-specific partition table
++program.  For example, you should make DOS partitions with the DOS FDISK
++program and Linux partitions with the Linux pmac-fdisk program.
++
++.SH OPTIONS
++.TP
++.B \-v
++Print version number of
++.B pmac-fdisk

++.SH BUGS
++There are several *fdisk programs around.
++Each has its problems and strengths.
++Try them in the order
++.BR cfdisk ,
++.BR pmac-fdisk ,
++.BR sfdisk .
++(Indeed,
++.B cfdisk
++is a beautiful program that has strict requirements on
++the partition tables it accepts, and produces high quality partition
++tables. Use it if you can. 
++.B pmac-fdisk
++is a buggy program that does fuzzy things - usually it happens to
++produce reasonable results. Its single advantage is that it has
++some support for BSD disk labels and other non-DOS partition tables.
++Avoid it if you can.
++.B sfdisk
++is for hackers only - the user interface is terrible, but it is
++more correct than pmac-fdisk and more powerful than both pmac-fdisk and cfdisk.
++Moreover, it can be used noninteractively.)
++.PP
++The IRIX/SGI type disklabel is currently not supported by the kernel.
++Moreover, IRIX/SGI header directories are not fully supported yet.
++.PP
++The option `dump partition table to file' is missing.

I thought not, but it appears it would match all of powerpc*

(ins)scheme@(guile-user)> (use-modules (ice-9 regex))
(ins)scheme@(guile-user)> (string-match "powerpc" "powerpc")
$1 = #("powerpc" (0 . 7))
(ins)scheme@(guile-user)> (string-match "powerpc" "powerpc64le")
$2 = #("powerpc64le" (0 . 7))
(ins)scheme@(guile-user)> (string-match "powerpc" "armhf")
$3 = #f

If it were string=? then it would be fine, but that would break the
^i[3456]86$ regex. It looks like I would need to add a powerpc64 case
above the powerpc case. Looking at the output of qemu adding
((string-match "powerpc64" cpu) "ppc64") would be the right answer.

Not going to lie, spelling is hard. I normally have spell check turned
off for scheme files.

Looks like Charlène of OpenBSD (I think?) is right, there are some
endianness bugs in mesa with llvm. I've tried, building mesa for powerpc
without llvm isn't actually possible, so disabled tests for now.

Snippet from the test suite log:

or you can use anchored regex, like in the x86 case:

((string-match "^powerpc$" cpu) "ppc")

But you *are* lying, you have the guile spell-(and-syntax-)checker enabled
for all your scheme files, and it is a picky one... ;-)

I still haven't dragged my G4 mini from its osx misery, so I tried
cross-building (from x86_64) instead.

cross-builds ok:
* bootstrap-tarballs
* guile
* binutils
* mac-fdisk

mesa and afl refused because of meson-build-system.

There's currently a bug with cross-building on core-updates. I ran into
it while trying to build rust for i686.

Generally speaking, this patch looks fine to me.  Just curious, what
sort of machines does one use for 32-bit powerpc?

I want to build the bootstrap binaries, see if they're reproducible (in
particular GCC, which I suspect won't be), and verify the hashes.

It might take a few days to do that, but I'll update this thread once
I've done it.

Once you're reasonably sure the bootstrap binaries won't change, we
should consider uploading them to alpha.gnu.org.  Ludo did it for me for
powerpc64le-linux but I don't know who has access (I don't).

Any ideas for how we can get a machine for powerpc CI?  Maybe VMs, I
guess?  Can a POWER9 machine be a powerpc-linux machine...?

Generally this looks reasonable.  I understand 3 weeks is a long
iteration time!  I think it's OK to proceed if it works for
bootstrapping other software on this platform.  Especially since the
change is isolated to just powerpc-linux.

Has the Guile test failure been reported upstream?

Old apple hardware based on powerpc G4 (powermacs, mini, imac, etc.),
maybe even G3.

A VM on power9 may be able to run BE ppc32.

There are a couple families of 32-bit powerpc machines out there with
(IIRC) macppc being the most prevalent for desktops.

Can it do it "directly" or does it need to be inside of a VM/chroot? I
never looked too much into it, never quite seemed like something that
I'd be able to take advantage of.

The two bugs mentioned are known to upstream and there are some other
reports of failures on other niche architectures like hppa.
Unfortunately I haven't gotten around to writing the email letting them
know what works for me but I'll do that soon. I haven't signed the CLA
for GNU projects so I want to make sure I don't send them a poisoned
patch.

I haven’t looked into details so I’ll just share thoughts from a
maintenance viewpoint:

  1. Those fdisk patch file names will make ‘guix lint’ unhappy.  :-)

  2. Apart from mac-fdisk-p18.patch, which looks relatively big, the
     changes seem to be rather non-intrusive, so it’s tempting to merge
     them (on ‘core-updates’ I guess?).

  3. OTOH, what will be the status of this architecture?  I don’t think
     new 32-bit PPC hardware is being made (right?), so I guess we
     probably won’t have substitutes for that architecture.  That means
     it won’t be supported at the same level as other architectures and
     may quickly suffer from bitrot.

I’m torn between #2 and #3.

What do people think?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

I don't think we have checked that ppc64 is unable to build this in a
similar way that x86_64 is able to build 32 bit x86 without virtualization.

But that may be possible, so all hope is not lost.

I'll make sure to touch them up. I was also not happy about the
supported-architectures field of the package, I took that from Debain
(or was it Gentoo?) but I'm not sure of a technical reason why it can't
be built from other architectures.

Before I found some of the patches I played around with fixing the
package. Without looking at the patches too closely some of them fix
warnings and some of them actually make it compile correctly.

I don't know about new 32-bit powerpc hardware, I think it's only being
newly created for the embedded and networking space. As far as operating
systems with support¹ Adélie Linux is the only one I know that's
actually targeting the machines.

I found that emulation on my desktop (Ryzen 3900XT, 24 threads) is
faster than building on native hardware (1 core, 1.5GB of RAM, original
4200 RPM disk), edging it out on single threaded compiling and doing
great when it comes to using multiple cores and parallel builds.
Ignoring how to create an OS image if we just targeted, say, mesa and
maybe one or two other packages, we could have a core set which doesn't
change regularly and won't take up too much emulated build time but will
save days of compile time.

> I’m torn between #2 and #3.
> 
> What do people think?

The fear of bit-rot is real and I think we should mention in the manual
(when I actually write the section) that support is best-effort with
minimal substitutes.

Nits: adjust the test suite to do what?  The message would be clearer if
it explained the purpose of the adjustment.  You could also name the
phases you added/moved, for extra clarity, if you want to.

What's the problem?  Presumably the test fails; a comment here could
clarify that.

If it's a test failure, has the issue been reported upstream?

I think you can put all of this in the substitute-keyword-arguments
form, which would (1) eliminate the need for a comment, (2) eliminate
the need to worry about the order of the keyword arguments, and (3)
eliminate the need to duplicate the new phase in two package
definitions:

(define binutils-boot0
  (package
    (inherit binutils)
    (source (bootstrap-origin (package-source binutils)))
    (name "binutils-cross-boot0")
    (arguments
     `(#:guile ,%bootstrap-guile
       #:implicit-inputs? #f

I played with this in the REPL, and it seems to produce the desired
result (e.g., inspect by running ,pp (package-arguments binutils-boot0)
or similar at the REPL).  However, I didn't actually try building
anything with it.

What do you think?

    (inputs (%boot0-inputs))))

The point is that we can probably "inherit" the phases, so we wouldn't
have to repeat ourselves.

There's also a void port being worked on, but not
upstreamed yet (https://voidlinux-ppc.org)

gentoo, openbsd & netbsd also still have support too.

I'll check to see if I can find something upstream. If not I'll report
it. FWIW Debian disables the test suite for powerpc.

I like the way you've done it (and the comment). The fewer places with
copy/pasted code the better. I'm building it again now to see about the
tests. With your changes I only need to add the phase in (gnu packages
base).

How significant is the failure, anyway?  Are we likely to encounter
trouble down the line on powerpc if we don't resolve this?  I have no
idea, honestly, so I'm asking because I just don't know.

I looked at the rules file you linked.  Are you sure it disables the
test for powerpc?  It reads:

  with_check := yes
  ifneq (,$(findstring nocheck,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)))
    # override buildd admins to run the testsuite anyway ...
    ifeq (,$(filter $(DEB_HOST_ARCH), m68k powerpc sh4 sparc64))
      with_check := disabled through DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS
    endif
  endif
  #with_check := disabled for this upload

I'm not sure what the values for DEB_HOST_ARCH or DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS
would be here.  However, it seems to be setting with_check to disabled
if and only if (1) nocheck shows up in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS and (2)
DEB_HOST_ARCH is not one of m68k, powerpc, sh4, or sparc64.  In other
words, it seems to enable the tests unless nocheck is in
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS, in which case it STILL enables the tests provided
that DEB_HOST_ARCH is one of m68k, powerpc, sh4, or sparc64.

I'm not very familiar with Debian rules files, so perhaps I'm mistaken.
However, I think this means that when DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS doesn't contain
"nocheck" (presumably it doesn't usually?), the tests will be run for
every platform.

In any case, reporting this upstream seems like the right thing to do.

I think the comment is honestly more than necessary, but if you find it
helpful, perhaps someone in the future might, too.  It describes a
possibly surprising behavior of substitute-keyword-arguments that can
happen any time you invoke it.  I just wanted to call it out
specifically for the purpose of this patch review.

This looks to be about 2 weeks worth of time since the last email, with
about 10 days of continuous building and is based on commit
76fc36d0a7215979bb74c05840f5a4de4ab5ea93 which changes the default gcc
to 8. I'll inline my comments in the top of each of the patches.

Some of the patches are going straight to core-updates but I've included
them anyway since the patchset is available in the official repo in the
wip-ppc branch and that's where I developed them.

Efraim Flashner (12):
  gnu: bootstrap: Add support for powerpc-linux.
  gnu: guile-3.0: Fix building on powerpc-linux.
  gnu: gcc-boot0: Use 128-bit long-double on powerpc-linux.
  gnu: binutils: Fix bug in test suite in libiberty.
  gnu: mesa: Add support for powerpc-linux.
  gnu: Add mac-fdisk.
  gnu: american-fuzzy-lop: Add support for powerpc-linux.
  build: qemu-command: Add support for powerpc.
  gnu: mercurial: Skip tests on powerpc-linux.
  gnu: nss: Skip tests on powerpc-linux.
  gnu: zstd: Adjust test suite for 32-bit architectures.
  gnu: glib: Disable failing test.

This patch has the comments updated. I reported my findings to the guile
debbugs email and Other People™ are testing the changes on the other
architectures. Otherwise patch unchanged.

I ran into build troubles without this patch. It only affects gcc-boot0
on powerpc, everything else I built out to mesa was unaffected by a
64-bit/128-bit mismatch.

Completely rewritten. I reported the bug upstream to binutils and after
some testing it was determined to be an actual bug in libiberty's test
suite affecting big-endian systems. I've tested this on x86_64 and saw
no issues with it.

Blanket skipping of the test suite removed, instead we have a phase to
skip certain tests. When rebased on core-updates there will be 3 such
phases and adjustments to the packaging already for powerpc64le and
aarch64. I'll make adjustments to that when I rebase next.

++mac-fdisk for DEBIAN
++----------------------
++
++Comments regarding mac-fdisk
++
++mac-fdisk provides Apple partition format utilities required for
++installation of Debian/68k on Apple Macintosh computers. The Debian version
++of mac-fdisk is derived from pdisk 0.4a2 (pdisk.970115.tar) by Eryk Vershen 
++(eryk@apple.com).
++pmac-fdisk is a version of the PC partition format utilities for PowerPC
++computers, taken from the same pdisk source version and can be used for
++installation of Debian/68k on PC partition format disks on Macintosh.
++
++Modifications have been made to the pdisk partition table output code to permit
++parsing the output of 'mac-fdisk -l' in a manner consistent with other Linux
++fdisk utilities. (Christiaan Welvaart, <>)

++.TH MAC-FDISK 8 "1 December 2001" "Debian" "Apple Disk Partitioning Manual"
++.SH NAME
++mac-fdisk \- Apple partition table editor for Linux
++.SH SYNOPSIS
++.B mac-fdisk
++.B "[ \-h | \--help ] [ \-v | \--version ] [ \-l | \--list device ... ]"
++.br
++.B mac-fdisk
++.B "[ \-r | \--readonly ] device ... "
++.SH DESCRIPTION
++.B mac-fdisk
++is a command line type program which partitions disks using the standard Apple
++disk partitioning scheme described in "Inside Macintosh: Devices".
++The
++.I device
++is usually one of the following:
++
++.nf
++.RS
++/dev/sda
++/dev/sdb
++/dev/sdc
++/dev/sdd
++/dev/sde
++/dev/sdf
++/dev/sdg
++/dev/hda
++/dev/hdb
++
++.RE
++.fi
++/dev/sda is the first hard disk on the SCSI bus (i.e. the
++one with the lowest id), /dev/sdb is the second hard disk, and so on.
++The
++.I partition
++is a
++.I device
++name followed by a partition number.
++The partition number is the index (starting from one) of the partition
++map entry in the partition map (and the partition map itself occupies the
++first entry).
++For example,
++.B /dev/sda2
++is the partition described by the second entry in the partiton map on /dev/sda.
++
++.SH OPTIONS
++.TP
++.B \-v | \--version
++Prints version number of the
++.B mac-fdisk
++program.
++.TP
++.B \-h | \--help
++Prints a list of available commands for the
++.B mac-fdisk
++program.
++.TP
++.B \-l | \--list
++Lists the partition tables for the specified
++.IR device(s).
++With no 
++.IR device(s)
++given, lists all SCSI and IDE devices found in the system.
++.TP
++.B \-r | \--readonly
++Prevents
++.B mac-fdisk
++from writing to the device.
++.SH "Editing Partition Tables"
++An argument which is simply the name of a
++.I device
++indicates that
++.B mac-fdisk
++should edit the partition table of that device. Once started, 
++.B mac-fdisk 
++presents an interactive command prompt to edit the partition table. 
++The partition editing commands are:
++
++.nf
++.RS
++h    list available commands
++p    print (list) the current edited partition table status
++P    print ordered by base address
++i    initialize the partition map
++s    change size of partition map
++b    create new 800K Apple_Bootstrap partition (used by yaboot)
++c    create new standard Linux type partition
++C    create new partition, specifying the partition type
++d    delete a partition
++r    reorder partition entry
++w    write the partition table to disk
++q    quit 
++
++.RE
++.fi
++Commands which take arguments prompt for each argument in turn.
++You can also type the arguments separated by spaces
++and those prompts will be skipped. The
++.B i
++and
++.B w
++commands will prompt for confirmation. None of the editing you do will 
++actually affect the state of the disk you are partitioning until the 
++.B w 
++command is issued. Then the map in its edited state will be 
++permanently written to the disk.
++
++Partitions are always specified by their number, the index of the
++partition entry in the partition map.  Many commands will change the
++index numbers of partitions which follow the affected partition; you are
++encouraged to use the 
++.B p
++command to print the partition table as frequently as necessary. For SCSI
++disks, the partition table should not contain more than fifteen partitions 
++(partition map excluded). IDE disks have a limit of 31 partitions.
++
++Here is a more-or-less typical output for the print command:
++
++.nf
++.RS
++Command (? for help): p

++
++.RE
++.fi
++
++The
++.B i
++(initialize) command prompts for the size of the device.  You can just
++type Return to accept the offered size, which should be correct.
++
++The
++.B b
++command is a shortcut to create the bootstrap partition used on PowerPC
++NewWorld machines. It is equivalent to creating an 800k
++.B Apple_Bootstrap
++type partition using the 
++.B C
++command described below. The sole purpose of this partition is to
++store the boot loader. In multiboot environments, the first bootable
++partition found on the disk takes precedence unless a specific boot
++partition is set in OpenFirmware, so it's best to create the bootstrap
++partition first, or move it to a position before any
++.B Apple_HFS 
++or 
++.B Apple_Boot
++partitions using the 
++.B r
++command described below. Then you will still able to boot Linux after
++the occasional OpenFirmware reset.
++
++The
++.B c
++(create new partition) command has three arguments. As mentioned
++above you can type the arguments following the command, separated by
++spaces, or respond to prompts for each argument:
++
++  1) The base address of the start of the partition.
++
++     You can specify a number in blocks (most likely reading from the
++     existing partition map) or you can also type a partition number
++     followed by the letter 'p' to indicate that the new partition
++     should take the place of that existing free space partition.
++
++  2) The length of the partition.
++
++     Again, you can specify a number in blocks or type a partition
++     number followed by the letter 'p' to indicate use of the entire
++     partition. You can also type a number followed by 'k', 'm', or
++     'g' to indicate the size in kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes
++     respectively. (These are powers of 1024, of course, not powers
++     of 1000.)
++
++  3) The name of the partition.
++
++     This can be a single word without quotes, or a string surrounded
++     by single or double quotes. It is best to name any swap partition
++     you create `swap'; other partition names are up to you. The names
++     are not visible to Linux.
++
++The
++.B C
++command is identical to the
++.B c
++command, with the addition of a partition type argument after the
++other arguments. The partition type used for Linux swap and data partitons
++is 
++.B APPLE_UNIX_SVR2
++(this is the partition type created by the 
++.B c
++command). Under normal circumstances, you should not need to use this
++command.
++
++The
++.B d
++command deletes the partition number specified, replacing that partition 
++with partitionable free space.
++
++The
++.B r
++(reorder) command allows the index number of partitions to be changed.
++The index numbers are constrained to be a contiguous sequence. 
++.B mac-fdisk
++will enforce this constraint by recalculating the partition numbers
++after each insert, delete or reorder operation. OpenFirmware looks for
++bootable partitions in the order specified by the index. The
++partitions are not moved on the disk. This command takes two
++arguments, the number of the partition to be moved and the partition
++number it should become.
++
++The
++.B w
++command writes the partition map out to disk. Note that partition
++maps for disks with mounted partitions cannot immediately be
++reinterpreted by the kernel. In order to use the new partition map you
++must reboot. Within the Debian installer system, 
++.B mac-fdisk 
++is normally invoked before any partitions are mounted, thus a reboot is not 
++necessary before continuing the installation.
++
++The
++.B q
++command terminates the program. If there was no 
++.B w
++command issued during the program run, then there will be no effect on the disk.
++
++.SH BUGS
++Some people believe there should really be just one disk partitioning utility.
++
++.B mac-fdisk
++should be able to create HFS partitions that work. Currently, if a
++pre-existing HFS partition is resized, MacOS will continue to use the
++partition size stored in the HFS 'superblock' instead of using the size from
++the partition table (the MacOS volume on the partition remains valid even
++though the sizes don't match anymore). This can have undesired side effects
++especially when creating a smaller HFS partition followed by a few Linux 
++partitions in place of the previous HFS partition space. To avoid this 
++issue, create MacOS partitions within MacOS and then don't resize them 
++in 
++.B mac-fdisk.

++pmac-fdisk \- Partition table manipulator for Linux
++.SH SYNOPSIS
++.BI "pmac-fdisk [\-u] " device
++.sp
++.BI "pmac-fdisk \-l [\-u] " "device ..."
++.sp
++.BI "pmac-fdisk \-s " "partition ..."
++.sp
++.BI "pmac-fdisk \-v
++.SH DESCRIPTION
++Hard disks can be divided into one or more logical disks called
++.IR partitions .
++This division is described in the
++.I "partition table"
++found in sector 0 of the disk.
++
++In the BSD world one talks about `disk slices' and a `disklabel'.
++
++Linux needs at least one partition, namely for its root file system.
++It can use swap files and/or swap partitions, but the latter are more
++efficient. So, usually one will want a second Linux partition
++dedicated as swap partition.
++On Intel compatible hardware, the BIOS that boots the system
++can often only access the first 1024 cylinders of the disk.
++For this reason people with large disks often create a third partition,
++just a few MB large, typically mounted on
++.IR /boot ,
++to store the kernel image and a few auxiliary files needed at boot time,
++so as to make sure that this stuff is accessible to the BIOS.
++There may be reasons of security, ease of administration and backup,
++or testing, to use more than the minimum number of partitions.
++
++.B pmac-fdisk
++(in the first form of invocation)
++is a menu driven program for creation and manipulation of
++partition tables.
++It understands DOS type partition tables and BSD or SUN type disklabels.
++
++The
++.I device
++is usually one of the following:
++.br
++.nf
++.RS
++/dev/hda
++/dev/hdb
++/dev/sda
++/dev/sdb
++.RE
++.fi
++(/dev/hd[a-h] for IDE disks, /dev/sd[a-p] for SCSI disks).
++A device name refers to the entire disk.
++
++The
++.I partition
++is a
++.I device
++name followed by a partition number.  For example,
++.B /dev/hda1
++is the first partition on the first IDE hard disk in the system.
++IDE disks can have up to 63 partitions, SCSI disks up to 15.
++See also
++.IR /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt .
++
++A BSD/SUN type disklabel can describe 8 partitions,
++the third of which should be a `whole disk' partition.
++Do not start a partition that actually uses its first sector
++(like a swap partition) at cylinder 0, since that will
++destroy the disklabel.
++
++An IRIX/SGI type disklabel can describe 16 partitions,
++the eleventh of which should be an entire `volume' partition,
++while the ninth should be labeled `volume header'.
++The volume header will also cover the partition table, i.e.,
++it starts at block zero and extends by default over five cylinders.
++The remaining space in the volume header may be used by header
++directory entries.  No partitions may overlap with the volume header.
++Also do not change its type and make some file system on it, since
++you will lose the partition table.  Use this type of label only when
++working with Linux on IRIX/SGI machines or IRIX/SGI disks under Linux.
++
++A DOS type partition table can describe an unlimited number
++of partitions. In sector 0 there is room for the description
++of 4 partitions (called `primary'). One of these may be an
++extended partition; this is a box holding logical partitions,
++with descriptors found in a linked list of sectors, each
++preceding the corresponding logical partitions.
++The four primary partitions, present or not, get numbers 1-4.
++Logical partitions start numbering from 5.
++
++In a DOS type partition table the starting offset and the size
++of each partition is stored in two ways: as an absolute number
++of sectors (given in 32 bits) and as a Cylinders/Heads/Sectors
++triple (given in 10+8+6 bits). The former is OK - with 512-byte
++sectors this will work up to 2 TB. The latter has two different
++problems. First of all, these C/H/S fields can be filled only
++when the number of heads and the number of sectors per track
++are known. Secondly, even if we know what these numbers should be,
++the 24 bits that are available do not suffice.
++DOS uses C/H/S only, Windows uses both, Linux never uses C/H/S.
++
++If possible,
++.B pmac-fdisk
++will obtain the disk geometry automatically.  This is not
++necessarily the physical disk geometry (indeed, modern disks do not
++really have anything like a physical geometry, certainly not something
++that can be described in simplistic Cylinders/Heads/Sectors form),
++but is the disk geometry that MS-DOS uses for the partition table.
++
++Usually all goes well by default, and there are no problems if
++Linux is the only system on the disk. However, if the disk has
++to be shared with other operating systems, it is often a good idea
++to let an fdisk from another operating system make at least one
++partition. When Linux boots it looks at the partition table, and
++tries to deduce what (fake) geometry is required for good
++cooperation with other systems.
++
++Whenever a partition table is printed out, a consistency check is performed
++on the partition table entries.  This check verifies that the physical and
++logical start and end points are identical, and that the partition starts
++and ends on a cylinder boundary (except for the first partition).
++
++Some versions of MS-DOS create a first partition which does not begin
++on a cylinder boundary, but on sector 2 of the first cylinder.
++Partitions beginning in cylinder 1 cannot begin on a cylinder boundary, but
++this is unlikely to cause difficulty unless you have OS/2 on your machine.
++
++A sync() and a BLKRRPART ioctl() (reread partition table from disk)
++are performed before exiting when the partition table has been updated.
++Long ago it used to be necessary to reboot after the use of pmac-fdisk.
++I do not think this is the case anymore - indeed, rebooting too quickly
++might cause loss of not-yet-written data. Note that both the kernel
++and the disk hardware may buffer data.
++
++.SH "DOS 6.x WARNING"
++
++The DOS 6.x FORMAT command looks for some information in the first
++sector of the data area of the partition, and treats this information
++as more reliable than the information in the partition table.  DOS
++FORMAT expects DOS FDISK to clear the first 512 bytes of the data area
++of a partition whenever a size change occurs.  DOS FORMAT will look at
++this extra information even if the /U flag is given -- we consider
++this a bug in DOS FORMAT and DOS FDISK.
++
++The bottom line is that if you use pmac-fdisk to change the size of a
++DOS partition table entry, then you must also use
++.B dd
++to zero the first 512 bytes of that partition before using DOS FORMAT to
++format the partition.  For example, if you were using pmac-fdisk to make a 
++DOS partition table entry for /dev/hda1, then (after exiting pmac-fdisk 
++and rebooting Linux so that the partition table information is valid) you
++would use the command "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda1 bs=512 count=1" to zero
++the first 512 bytes of the partition.
++
++.B BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL
++if you use the
++.B dd
++command, since a small typo can make all of the data on your disk useless.
++
++For best results, you should always use an OS-specific partition table
++program.  For example, you should make DOS partitions with the DOS FDISK
++program and Linux partitions with the Linux pmac-fdisk program.
++
++.SH OPTIONS
++.TP
++.B \-v
++Print version number of
++.B pmac-fdisk
++program and exit.
++.TP
++.B \-l
++List the partition tables for
++.BR /dev/hd[a-d] ,
++.BR /dev/sd[a-h] ,
++and then exit.
++.TP
++.B \-u
++When listing partition tables, give sizes in sectors instead
++of cylinders.
++.TP
++.BI "\-s " partition
++The
++.I size
++of the partition (in blocks) is printed on the standard output.
++.SH BUGS
++There are several *fdisk programs around.
++Each has its problems and strengths.
++Try them in the order
++.BR cfdisk ,
++.BR pmac-fdisk ,
++.BR sfdisk .
++(Indeed,
++.B cfdisk
++is a beautiful program that has strict requirements on
++the partition tables it accepts, and produces high quality partition
++tables. Use it if you can. 
++.B pmac-fdisk
++is a buggy program that does fuzzy things - usually it happens to
++produce reasonable results. Its single advantage is that it has
++some support for BSD disk labels and other non-DOS partition tables.
++Avoid it if you can.
++.B sfdisk
++is for hackers only - the user interface is terrible, but it is
++more correct than pmac-fdisk and more powerful than both pmac-fdisk and cfdisk.
++Moreover, it can be used noninteractively.)
++.PP
++The IRIX/SGI type disklabel is currently not supported by the kernel.
++Moreover, IRIX/SGI header directories are not fully supported yet.
++.PP
++The option `dump partition table to file' is missing.

I don't have a way to test this on native armhf or i686 but I tried
changing the test timeout to 30 minutes (from the new default of 180
seconds) and it still timed out / hung forever. This is the minimal
patch to skip that test.

You can remove ' in '#f and '#t here.
That shouldn't cause a derivation change.
Keeping ' is harmless though, it's just superfluous.
Likewise for some other commits.

I'm not really familiar with powerpc and the packages you modified,
so I'm just looking at style, and cross-compilation issues (which you seem
to have covered).

Greetings,
Maxime.

I submitted the bug upstream. It turns out it was a bug in the test
suite which only showed up on big-endian systems. They've fixed it in
libiberty (in GCC) and I added the patch to binutils on core-updates.
Tests pass on powerpc-linux and x86_64-linux.

It also made this commit much much smaller :)

I repeated Efraim's steps on two different x86_64-linux Guix System
machines.  In both cases, it produced exactly the same hash.  Therefore,
it would seem these bootstrap binaries are actually reproducible.  I was
surprised by this because of my experience with bug 41669.  I expected
GCC to not be reproducible, but in this case it seems reproducible.

I wonder what's different?  The powerpc64 architecture is 64-bit, and
powerpc is 32-bit, but I wonder what else might be different that could
cause the non-reproducibility to occur only in the powerpc64-linux
case.

Anyway, this is good news for the powerpc-linux port.  It is also an
interesting clue for the investigation of bug 41669, but further
discussion about that should go there, not here.

In terms of what is more relevant here, IIRC there is some CI code to
build cross toolchain stuff to powerpc-linux-gnu. Is it possible that
you reused some of that? I don't remember exactly from the other bug
report which bits suddenly made the difference. Otherwise I built mine
about 4 months earlier.

I feel like “best-effort with minimal substitutes” is already more than
I’d be willing to commit to as a maintainer.

We just added POWER9, for which we have actual hardware, and even
getting to this minimal state where we provide a binary tarball required
quite some effort.

Doing the same with 32-bit PowerPC would require us to set up emulation;
we wouldn’t even have real hardware.

All in all, my preference would be to take the patches but not mention
PowerPC 32-bit support anywhere, or at least, not provide substitutes
and binary installation tarball.  IOW, few people would know whether it
actually works :-) but tinkerers could still play with it.

WDYT?

I’m surprised removing the executable works.  See
‘guile-2.2-skip-oom-test.patch’.

Given the size of these patches, please add a couple of sentences
explaining what they do.

It would be best if we could refer to a fork instead of carrying those
patches, though.

You can even write:

  #:tests? (not (string-prefix? "powerpc-" (or …)))

Note: use ‘string-prefix?’ because ‘%current-target-system’ returns a
triplet, not a “system type”.

I think I'm going to sit on the mac-fdisk package for a while. It would
be good to cut down the patches a bit. And I have to actually test it at
some point.

This is great news, thanks for checking!

With this, we can be more confident uploading the binary seeds to

Yes, that’s weird, but it’s better this way.  :-)

I took another look at it and I'm building 3.0.5 again but with
the 'remove-failing-tests phase removed. We'll find out in about 42
hours if it's needed or not.

I have also learned that 'best effort' is a grey area in other circles;
does it mean you'll move mountains and spare no expense (The Best
Effort!™) or that you'll give it a shot but make no promises. I
definitely meant the second.

How about changing the mips64el documentation to say that there is
minimal support for the two architectures, with no substitutes, and may
be fun for tinkerers with the hardware. Then we could also change the
check in the guix.m4 to add mips64el-linux as supported in case anyone
does actually want to play with it.

Current text:

@item mips64el-linux (deprecated)¬
little-endian 64-bit MIPS processors, specifically the Loongson series,
n32 ABI, and Linux-Libre kernel.  This configuration is no longer fully
supported; in particular, there is no ongoing work to ensure that this
architecture still works.  Should someone decide they wish to revive this
architecture then the code is still available.

Proposed text:

@item Alternative architectures
In addition to architectures which are actually supported there are a
few formally unsupported architectures which may be of interested to
tinkerers. Namely mips64el-linux, little-endian 64-bit MIPS processors,
specifically the Loongson series, n32 ABI, and powerpc-linux, big-endian
32-bit POWER processors, specifically the PowerPC 74xx series. There are
no installation tarballs, substitutes or promises that these
architectures are functional.

And then I'd move it lower than the powerpc64le-linux entry.

No, not as “supported”, I surely don’t want to deal with mips64el-linux
bugs.  :-)

Maybe it’s more readable to keep it as a bullet list, like:

  @item mips64el-linux (@emph{unsupported})
  …

  @item powerpc-linux (@emph{unsupported})
  …

with a sentence explaining what “unsupported” means.

IMO guix.m4 should either require --with-courage or emit a prominent
warning for these.

WDYT?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Ah, I didn't see your email.

That was kind-of my idea with grouping them together

The problem then becomes whoever tinkers with it will have to keep
either a custom guix.m4 for their guix package or a custom guix package
with "--with-courage" as a configure-flag.

Yes, but people who just skim through that page may just see that
‘powerpc-linux’ is listed, without noticing that there’s a sentence ten
line above that says “The following arches are not supported”.  Having
“unsupported” next to it should avoid that (yes, I’ve learned to be
super cautious.  :-)).

True.  In that case, let it go without ‘--with-courage’ but emit a
warning with AC_MSG_WARN that points to the relevant section of the
manual.

Deal?

Thanks!

For me the best way to run 32 bit powerpc software,
is using KVM on a POWER9 system. The https://www.powerpc-notebook.org/
will run 32 bit software as well.
