[Bug 1916112] Re: Illegal instruction crash of QEMU on Jetson Nano
Posted by Stefan Weil 3 years, 2 months ago 
TCG works and I get a Linux boot prompt in the guest Raspbian when
vector instructions for TCG are disabled, so obviously the undefined
instruction is simply unsupported for Jetson Nano and Xavier.

Patch used to disable it:

Title:
  Illegal instruction crash of QEMU on Jetson Nano

Status in QEMU:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have a jetson nano (arm64 SBC) and I want to check the native
  emulation performance of Raspbian Buster. I used the info available
  here:

  https://github.com/dhruvvyas90/qemu-rpi-kernel/tree/master/native-
  emuation

  I have Xubuntut 20.04 with KVM enabled kernel running on the Jetson
  Nano

  However QEMU crashes with "Illegal Instruction" during kernel boot. I
  have a built latest QEMU from sources with following configuration

  ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --target-list=aarch64-softmmu,arm-
  softmmu  --enable-guest-agent --enable-vnc  --enable-vnc-jpeg
  --enable-vnc-png --enable-kvm --enable-spice --enable-sdl --enable-gtk
  --enable-virglrenderer --enable-opengl

  qemu-system-aarch64 --version
  QEMU emulator version 5.2.50 (v5.2.0-1731-g5b19cb63d9)

  When I run as follows:

  ../build/qemu-system-aarch64 -M raspi3
  -append "rw earlyprintk loglevel=8 console=ttyAMA0,115200 dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootdelay=1"
  -dtb ./bcm2710-rpi-3-b-plus.dtb
  -sd /media/96747D21747D0571/JetsonNano/2020-08-20-raspios-buster-armhf-full.qcow2
  -kernel ./kernel8.img
  -m 1G -smp 4 -serial stdio -usb -device usb-mouse -device usb-kbd

  I get :
  [ 74.994834] systemd[1]: Condition check resulted in FUSE Control File System being skipped.
  [ 76.281274] systemd[1]: Starting Apply Kernel Variables...
  Starting Apply Kernel Variables...
  Illegal instruction (core dumped)

  When I use GDB I see this:

  Thread 8 "qemu-system-aar" received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
  [Switching to Thread 0x7fad7f9ba0 (LWP 28037)]

  #3 cpu_exec (cpu=cpu@entry=0x7fb4502c40) at ../accel/tcg/cpu-exec.c:819
  ..

  I have just two questions:

  Is this a problem with QEMU or is there anything specific build or
  options I need to use. Any specific version of QEMU should be used ?

  Why is TCG used as the accelerator when KVM is present. Is it possible
  and how to use KVM ?

  If I enabled the KVM then I get this error:

  ../build/qemu-system-aarch64 -M raspi3 -enable-kvm -append "rw earlyprintk loglevel=8 console=ttyAMA0,115200 dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootdelay=1" -dtb ./bcm2710-rpi-3-b-plus.dtb -sd /media/96747D21747D0571/JetsonNano/2020-08-20-raspios-buster-armhf-full.qcow2 -kernel ./kernel8.img -m 1G -smp 4 -serial stdio -usb -device usb-mouse -device usb-kbd

I think QEMU TCG for AARCH64 hosts needs a runtime check to decide which 
vector instructions are supported by the host (like it is done for 
AMD64). It currently fails because it generates instructions which are 
unknown for NVIDIA Jetson Nano and Xavier (Tegra CPU).

TCI works (now tested on Apple M1), too.
