Subject: [Bug 1858046] [NEW] qemu-aarch64 hangs on cptofs during a build of NixOS SD card image
Date: Wed, 01 Jan 2020 22:15:59 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <157791695959.3198.15546015289430538780.malonedeb@soybean.canonical.com> (raw)
Public bug reported:
First, thank you for this incredible project.
While following this guide to build my own image of NixOS:
https://nixos.wiki/wiki/NixOS_on_ARM#Compiling_through_QEMU on ARM
Aarch64.
I encountered a very strange behavior, qemu is correctly used and build
most of the binaries until it executes this exact line over qemu:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/lib/make-
ext4-fs.nix#L55
At this step, the qemu process goes to 100 % of CPU, hangs in a certain
syscall I don't know which one (according to strace & gdb which has no
symbols so breaking and looking the backtrace was useless).
According to iotop, no I/O was done.
And it spent all its time in this syscall during more than 10 hours,
which looks anomalous to me.
I attach some of my CPU info:
model : 142
model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz
stepping : 10
microcode : 0x96
cpu MHz : 3107.071
cache size : 8192 KB
I'm using a ThinkPad T480 to perform those builds, I'm uncertain of how
to debug further this issue, I discussed this with some people over
#nixos-aarch64 and they told me they didn't know how to debug it further
too.
I tried all with this package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qemu-
arm-static/ — I'm currently compiling qemu-git to see if it happens on
upstream too. Will comment when it's done.
Thank you in advance!
