Rpi4: distributing binaries with no AES for 64-bit OSes by mj-xmr · Pull Request #7979 · monero-project/monero

mj-xmr · 2021-09-28T16:00:37Z

Continuing the discussion and performing concrete experiments from #7953

Generating 64-bit binaries for Rpi in both depends and gitian

The gitian part could not be tested, due to miniupnp not being able to be synched. I was testing it on my branch of my project with:

GH_USER=mj-xmr
VERSION=rpi-distrib-bins
./gitian-build.py -p --url https://github.com/mj-xmr/monero-mj --setup --docker $GH_USER $VERSION
./gitian-build.py -p --url https://github.com/mj-xmr/monero-mj -j 2 --memory 10000 --docker --detach-sign --no-commit --build $GH_USER $VERSION

The full error message was:

fatal: remote error: upload-pack: not our ref 544e6fcc73c5ad9af48a8985c94f0f1d742ef2e0
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
Fetched in submodule path 'external/miniupnp', but it did not contain 544e6fcc73c5ad9af48a8985c94f0f1d742ef2e0. Direct fetching of that commit failed.
Traceback (most recent call last):

	1: from bin/gbuild:304:in `block in <main>'
bin/gbuild:23:in `system!': failed to run cd inputs/monero && git submodule update --init --recursive --force (RuntimeError)

UPDATE:

I was able to go through the above error by issuing:
git submodule sync > /dev/null && git submodule update manually from within inputs/monero

Isn’t that disable aes for all depends builds ?

Isn’t that disable aes for all depends builds ?

Yes it is, but it's far from being perfect yet, hence the "draft" status.

Yes it is, but it's far from being perfect yet, hence the "draft" status.

Mayby add something in depends section of Makefile

depends-noaes: cd contrib/depends && $(MAKE) HOST=$(target) && cd ../.. && mkdir -p build/$(target)-noaes/release cd build/$(target)-noaes/release && cmake -DNO_AES=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$(CURDIR)/contrib/depends/$(target)/share/toolchain.cmake ../../.. && $(MAKE)

mj-xmr · 2021-09-28T17:16:52Z

I'll figure it out. I'm just preparing the workplace right now, so to say. But thanks for the active participation.

mj-xmr · 2021-09-28T17:29:09Z

I confirm, that the binary ARM v8 produced with NO_AES=ON works flawlessly under RPi OS 64-bit (Rpi4).

ArqTras · 2021-09-28T18:06:56Z

I confirm, that the binary ARM v8 produced with NO_AES=ON works flawlessly under RPi OS 64-bit (Rpi4).

I did test same on Ubuntu 21.04 64 bit rpi 4, works fine

mj-xmr · 2021-09-28T18:22:07Z

@ArqTras : Thanks. Could you also share some expertise, if the ARM v7 Rpi build, that I recently added, also makes sense?

mj-xmr · 2021-09-28T18:25:38Z

BTW, in case you didn't know, you may directly test the built binaries by clicking on Checks, and then "Depends". Then scroll down for the bins.

ArqTras · 2021-09-28T18:46:09Z

@ArqTras : Thanks. Could you also share some expertise, if the ARM v7 Rpi build, that I recently added, also makes sense?

I will check as soon as I get my computer on hands ;)

mj-xmr · 2021-09-28T19:02:09Z

I ran tests on RPi 3 and RPi 3B+, both using ARM v7. Both versions: with and without AES were working fine. I'd love to be able to assume here, that all the RPi 3 versions had the AES support. Care to help me research this online maybe @ArqTras ?

selsta · 2021-09-28T19:05:40Z

No Raspberry has hardware AES support

hyc · 2021-09-28T19:07:11Z

32bit ARM code for RandomX has never used hardware AES, it is all 100% software. And too slow to be worth using.

The ARMv7 instruction set doesn't include AES instructions. They're only available in ARMv7l, an ARMv8 processor running in 32bit mode.

mj-xmr · 2021-09-28T19:08:42Z

Thanks for the replies.

32bit ARM code for RandomX has never used AES, it is all 100% software. And too slow to be worth using.

This explains, why the switch NO_AES wasn't needed for the ARM v7. Then I'd say that the ARM v7 RPi would be a candidate for removal at the current state.

mj-xmr · 2021-09-28T19:11:02Z

They're [AES instructions] only available in ARMv7l, an ARMv8 processor running in 32bit mode.

This would be quite an interesting use case. Do y'all think we should cover it in the future? However that reply about 32bit ARM code for RX disqualifies this.

hyc · 2021-09-28T19:11:52Z

I already wrote the code for it. No, I don't think it's useful. tevador/RandomX#148

mj-xmr · 2021-09-28T19:17:24Z

The next step shall be Gitian (A.K.A. "Reproducible Builds")

hyc · 2021-09-28T19:21:12Z

Overall I think supporting Rpi in any form is a waste of effort since they all lack hardware AES. Alternatives like Odroid, Pine64, etc are all plentiful and easily found, with solid Linux support already.

mj-xmr · 2021-09-28T19:24:05Z

A dumb question maybe, but does AES matter so much, if an RPi user wishes just to run a node and use the CLI wallet to perform transactions?

hyc · 2021-09-28T19:27:11Z

it will probably be too slow to finish intiial block download on its own. Copying a blockchain DB from a PC may be ok to get it started but if it ever spends more than a day offline it will never catch up on its own.

ArqTras · 2021-09-28T19:52:17Z

Sync take a day as mentioned early on ssd drive. No issues with create / restore wallet. It’s good to have own trusted node also there is no issue to share blockchain data with others. Not sure about pi3 versions but pi4 is cheap and most popular in EU

BigslimVdub · 2021-10-06T03:38:26Z

FYI Pi4 4gb and 4gb swap takes over a week straight to sync from 0 using microSD card as storage and no pruning :)

hyc · 2021-10-07T10:29:38Z

If you really want to support Rpi, setting up an entire new build seems the wrong way to go. Instead just add dynamic AES detection at runtime, like we do for x86.

One way to get started on that would be to add the output of cat /proc/cpuinfo from rpi3 and rpi4 to one of these tickets so we know what we're dealing with.

Here's output from RK3399 in rockpro64

@Minthos According to other docs, BCM2709 is in the Rpi2, which we don't care about here since it's 32bit only.

Ah, never mind. It's running a 32bit OS. again, we don't care about this, we only need the info for 64bit OS.

But I think it's already cleaar that the Features line will indicate aes when present, and it will be absent on all the Pis.
