need to compile 32bit on x86_64 cpu

need to compile 32bit on x86_64 cpu

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 282 bytes --]

On a dom0 with Pentium D 64bit, i want to compile the kernel for 32bit since
my domU will be 32bit OS.

However when i try to compile the kernel, it only gives the option to
compile the kernel for x84_64 cpu. How do i force it to compile for 32 bit
cpu ?

Re: need to compile 32bit on x86_64 cpu

I have a dual boot machine with a 32 bit OS installed to compile 32 bit
kernels and a 64 bit OS for 64 bit kernels.  This is pretty lame but it
does obviously work.  I'd be interested in a better solution too :-)

Hi Harald!

Can you please explain it ?

Right now what i use is from the README file

make linux-2.6-xen-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig

If i specify ARCH="i386" after this in the same line, it still tries to
compile for x86_64 cpu.

In Cambridge we chroot into a 32-bit filesystem to build 32-bit 
binaries on 64-bit host. Works fine.

I have the following setup:

aptitude install linux32

mkdir /dapper32

deboostrap --arch i386 dapper /dapper32

linux32 chroot /dapper32 /bin/bash

source /etc/profile

There you have your 32bit environment on amd64.

See man debootstrap.

Reading the README i found a way to do this

export XEN_TARGET_ARCH=i386

or

export XEN_TARGET_ARCH=x86_32

Then do

make linux-2.6-xen-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig

Now menuconfig shows the 32bit cpu's. However when i run the build command,
it fails badly giving the following errors:

My guess is that its complaining about some libraries for 32bit and since
the os is 64bit, they are not present.

Can anyone please shed more light on this ?

Thanks.

RE: [Xen-devel] need to compile 32bit on x86_64 cpu

[Petersson, Mats]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1062 bytes --]

I tried using
"setarch i386 bash"
"make clean dist"
It's still compiling, but it looks like it might work... 
 
[You may need to install setarch on your machine, as some machines don't
have it installed as default. setarch allows the machine to set a flag
so that when something like uname is asking "What processor is this" the
answer will be "i686" instead of "x86_64", and thus tools that use for
example "uname -m" to find the CPU type, will figure that it's a 32-bit
processor instead of 64-bit. 
 
However, you may need to have certain libraries and other tools
installed on the machine to build 32-bit binaries.

You need to clean the linux kernel directory (probably with "mrproper"
note: mrproper will remove your .config file too, so copy that if you
have made any changes...)

The libraries is going to be one major problem i guess as already the same
libraries are installed in 64bit mode and the system won't allow both to be
installed :(

It works on most distributions (SUSE, RH, Mandrake) if you have the
right compat RPMs installed because they follow LSB properly. Normally
the 64bit install should install the right compat rpms by default
together with the 64bit libraries.

The main offenders which seem to be unable to get this right are the Debian derived
ones (Ubunutu etc.) and Slackware. On those you need to use a chroot hack.
Complain to them.

Basically if your distribution has "lib64" and it isn't a symlink to lib 
you should be ok.

Kerrnel compile fine without any libraries BTW - just user tools
need them.

There is nothing wrong with it. Thats what i setting up now since other

Re: need to compile 32bit on x86_64 cpu

[Anand Gupta]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 884 bytes --]

Hi Keir!

I loop mount a 32bit image and do a chroot to it. Inside it the cpu is still
showing as x86_64.

So i installed setarch and use it to set it as i386 and then try a yum
update/ use yum to install any package, it gives an error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/yum", line 4, in ?
    import yum
  File "__init__.py", line 33, in ?
  File "updates.py", line 18, in ?
  File "arch.py", line 218, in ?
  File "arch.py", line 208, in getCanonArch
  File "arch.py", line 139, in getCanonX86Arch
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/proc/cpuinfo'

When i try to cat /proc/cpuinfo, it seems it doesn't exist :(

Any ideas where i am going wrong ?

Thanks.

Then you either didn't install the right compat libraries or 
didn't use setarch correctly.

This is what i did

setarch i386 bash

And the machine is a fresh install of centos 4.3 x86_64.

under the chroot: mount /proc
outside: mount -t proc none  /path/to/chroot/proc

(You'll have to unmount it prior to unmounting the image, when you're
finished with it.)

Furthermore, i manually created /proc/cpuinfo (don't know why i did, just
did it). Just to clarify this /proc/cpuinfo is inside the chrooted file
image i am working on.

Now yum works fine.

However inside xen, when i do make help or any other option, it gives the
following error:

Config.mk:42: /home/xen-unstable.hg/config/i386.mk: No such file or
directory
Config.mk:42: /home/xen-unstable.hg/config/i386.mk: No such file or
directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/home/xen-unstable.hg/config/i386.mk'.
Stop.

Inside the config directory there are following files

ia64.mk
x86_32.mk
x86_64.mk

Now when i use setarch x86_32, it gives the following error:

Don't know how to set arch to x86_32

Thanks for all the help.

Then likely the compat rpms are not installed.

I don't know they are called on RH and Clones, on SUSE they are called
*-32bit.rpm

I used the above method and now there is a complete /proc inside the chroot

What do you use for the "make" command. It looks like you're setting
XEN_TARGET_ARCH=i386, wihich I don't think works, it should be x86_32 to
work correctly.

I have the following compat rpms installed already on the machine.

compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.3
compat-db-4.1.25-9
compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.7.2
compat-libgcc-296-2.96-132.7.2
compat-libcom_err-1.0-5
compat-openldap-2.1.30-4

I installed the following as well

compat-gcc-32-3.2.3-47.3.x86_64.rpm
compat-gcc-32-c++-3.2.3-47.3.x86_64.rpm
compat-glibc-2.3.2-95.30.i386.rpm
compat-glibc-2.3.2-95.30.x86_64.rpm
compat-glibc-headers-2.3.2-95.30.x86_64.rpm

Now using setarch the compile is going on so far and has given no errors. I
will post results once the compilation is done and the domU is booted up
with the kernel.

Thanks for all the help.

This probably would mean that the kernel compiled is a non xen kernel ?
(Please correct me if i am wrong)

I used the following to compile the kernel (after i used setarch linux32
bash)

make linux-2.6-xen-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig
make linux-2.6-xen-build

I then copied the dist/install/lib/modules to /lib/modules and then used
depmod and mkinitrd to create the initrd image. Moved the kernel from
dist/install/boot to /home where i call them from inside the config files.

Can anyone tell me how to resolve the above problem ?

Re: [Xen-devel] Re: need to compile 32bit on x86_64 cpu

[Jerone Young]

If you are using paravirutal Xen (which I believe you are). You "cannot"
use a 32-bit Xen domU kernel with it. You have you use 64-bit Xen domU
kernel with it. I can tell by the path you are using 64bit Xen
"/home/xen/xen-3.0.2-2/dist/install/usr/lib64/python/xen/xend/XendDomainInfo.py". Best to stick with 32-bit Xen if you want to run 32bit domUs.

So i would need to compile and install 32bit version of xen on the dom0 now
? Shouldn't the 64bit allow me to run 32bit domU's as well as 64bit domU's ?
(atleast thats what i thought it would allow)

Thanks.

No, you can only run the same-bitness for Xenified guests. Xen 3.x
supports unmodified guests at any level of bitness (up to whatever Xen
itself is, you obviously can't run a 64-bit unmodified guest on top of a
32-bit Xen). 
 
But for Xenified guests, the Xen-build and the Guest-OS must be the same
- this is because it's actually quite complicated to translate  the
different page-table levels and map the memory such that the guest can
access it, etc [not exactly rocket science, of course, but it does make
life more difficult for the hypervisor]. 
 
It has been discussed to make a shim-layer that translates the
Xen-calling interface. 
 
Is there any particular reason you feel that you must run a 32-bit
guest-OS. Almost all applications will work just fine in a 64-bit guest.
Of course, there are some exceptions... If so, then you do need to move
to 32-bit host-OS as well as guest-OS, yes.

Thanks for all the explanation Mats.

Well i didn't think of running 64bit on top of 32bit xen, however i
certainly thought about vice-versa. However your explanation has made it
clear it isn't possible.

Thanks for all the help.
