Introduction +*************** + +IBM Z are mainframe computers, which are descendants of IBM System/360 from +year 1964. They are supported by the Linux kernel under the name "s390". This +document describes how to test BPF in an s390 QEMU guest. + +2. One-time setup +***************** + +The following is required to build and run the test suite: + + * s390 GCC + * s390 development headers and libraries + * Clang with BPF support + * QEMU with s390 support + * Disk image with s390 rootfs + +Debian supports installing compiler and libraries for s390 out of the box. +Users of other distros may use debootstrap in order to set up a Debian chroot:: + + sudo debootstrap \ + --variant=minbase \ + --include=sudo \ + testing \ + ./s390-toolchain + sudo mount --rbind /dev ./s390-toolchain/dev + sudo mount --rbind /proc ./s390-toolchain/proc + sudo mount --rbind /sys ./s390-toolchain/sys + sudo chroot ./s390-toolchain + +Once on Debian, the build prerequisites can be installed as follows:: + + sudo dpkg --add-architecture s390x + sudo apt-get update + sudo apt-get install \ + bc \ + bison \ + cmake \ + debootstrap \ + dwarves \ + flex \ + g++ \ + gcc \ + g++-s390x-linux-gnu \ + gcc-s390x-linux-gnu \ + gdb-multiarch \ + git \ + make \ + python3 \ + qemu-system-misc \ + qemu-utils \ + rsync \ + libcap-dev:s390x \ + libelf-dev:s390x \ + libncurses-dev + +Latest Clang targeting BPF can be installed as follows:: + + git clone https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git + ln -s ../../clang llvm-project/llvm/tools/ + mkdir llvm-project-build + cd llvm-project-build + cmake \ + -DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD=BPF \ + -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \ + -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/clang-bpf \ + ../llvm-project/llvm + make + sudo make install + export PATH=/opt/clang-bpf/bin:$PATH + +The disk image can be prepared using a loopback mount and debootstrap:: + + qemu-img create -f raw ./s390.img 1G + sudo losetup -f ./s390.img + sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/loopX + mkdir ./s390.rootfs + sudo mount /dev/loopX ./s390.rootfs + sudo debootstrap \ + --foreign \ + --arch=s390x \ + --variant=minbase \ + --include=" \ + iproute2, \ + iputils-ping, \ + isc-dhcp-client, \ + kmod, \ + libcap2, \ + libelf1, \ + netcat, \ + procps" \ + testing \ + ./s390.rootfs + sudo umount ./s390.rootfs + sudo losetup -d /dev/loopX + +3. Compilation +************** + +In addition to the usual Kconfig options required to run the BPF test suite, it +is also helpful to select:: + + CONFIG_NET_9P=y + CONFIG_9P_FS=y + CONFIG_NET_9P_VIRTIO=y + CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI=y + +as that would enable a very easy way to share files with the s390 virtual +machine. + +Compiling kernel, modules and testsuite, as well as preparing gdb scripts to +simplify debugging, can be done using the following commands:: + + make ARCH=s390 CROSS_COMPILE=s390x-linux-gnu- menuconfig + make ARCH=s390 CROSS_COMPILE=s390x-linux-gnu- bzImage modules scripts_gdb + make ARCH=s390 CROSS_COMPILE=s390x-linux-gnu- \ + -C tools/testing/selftests \ + TARGETS=bpf \ + INSTALL_PATH=$PWD/tools/testing/selftests/kselftest_install \ + install + +4. Running the test suite +************************* + +The virtual machine can be started as follows:: + + qemu-system-s390x \ + -cpu max,zpci=on \ + -smp 2 \ + -m 4G \ + -kernel linux/arch/s390/boot/compressed/vmlinux \ + -drive file=./s390.img,if=virtio,format=raw \ + -nographic \ + -append 'root=/dev/vda rw console=ttyS1' \ + -virtfs local,path=./linux,security_model=none,mount_tag=linux \ + -object rng-random,filename=/dev/urandom,id=rng0 \ + -device virtio-rng-ccw,rng=rng0 \ + -netdev user,id=net0 \ + -device virtio-net-ccw,netdev=net0 + +When using this on a real IBM Z, ``-enable-kvm`` may be added for better +performance. When starting the virtual machine for the first time, disk image +setup must be finalized using the following command:: + + /debootstrap/debootstrap --second-stage + +Directory with the code built on the host as well as ``/proc`` and ``/sys`` +need to be mounted as follows:: + + mkdir -p /linux + mount -t 9p linux /linux + mount -t proc proc /proc + mount -t sysfs sys /sys + +After that, the test suite can be run using the following commands:: + + cd /linux/tools/testing/selftests/kselftest_install + ./run_kselftest.sh + +As usual, tests can be also run individually:: + + cd /linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf + ./test_verifier + +5. Debugging +************ + +It is possible to debug the s390 kernel using QEMU GDB stub, which is activated +by passing ``-s`` to QEMU. + +It is preferable to turn KASLR off, so that gdb would know where to find the +kernel image in memory, by building the kernel with:: + + RANDOMIZE_BASE=n + +GDB can then be attached using the following command:: + + gdb-multiarch -ex 'target remote localhost:1234' ./vmlinux + +6. Network +********** + +In case one needs to use the network in the virtual machine in order to e.g. +install additional packages, it can be configured using:: + + dhclient eth0 + +7.
