Illegal Instruction during early init on Armv7 (xcompiled from darwin/amd64) #18483

jdizzle · 2017-01-01T01:54:50Z

Please answer these questions before submitting your issue. Thanks!

What version of Go are you using (`go version`)?

go version go1.6.3 darwin/amd64

installed via brew

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (`go env`)?

GOARCH="amd64"
GOBIN=""
GOEXE=""
GOHOSTARCH="amd64"
GOHOSTOS="darwin"
GOOS="darwin"
GOPATH=""
GORACE=""
GOROOT="/usr/local/Cellar/go/1.6.3/libexec"
GOTOOLDIR="/usr/local/Cellar/go/1.6.3/libexec/pkg/tool/darwin_amd64"
GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT="1"
CC="clang"
GOGCCFLAGS="-fPIC -m64 -pthread -fno-caret-diagnostics -Qunused-arguments -fmessage-length=0 -fno-common"
CXX="clang++"
CGO_ENABLED="1"

However I am cross compiling for a linux arm7 system

GOARM=7
GOARCH=arm
GOOS=linux

What did you do?

If possible, provide a recipe for reproducing the error.
A complete runnable program is good.
A link on play.golang.org is best.

// Our first program will print the classic "hello world"
// message. Here's the full source code.
package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    fmt.Println("hello world")
}

What did you see instead?

The executable immediately crashes due to an illegal instruction signal. Here is the output of gdserver:

Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.

It appears that the vmov.f32 instruction is not supported? I'm using a Cortex A9 chip, and the datasheet for the SoC shows the FPU. Is this possibly a software configuration issue on my end. I have ARM_THUMB=n in my kernel configuration.

minux · 2017-01-01T02:01:45Z

Probably your SoC only support VFPv1, not VFPv3 as required by GOARM=7. Try rebuilding with GOARM=6 to see if it fixes the problem.

jdizzle · 2017-01-01T02:21:30Z

I tried with GOARM=6. I get the same signal, but on a different instruction. Thanks for the reply!

Can you post /proc/cpuinfo for us? Thank.

looks like either the processor doesn't have VFP at all, or the kernel has disabled VFP support. You will need to use GOARM=5. If it's the first case, do you mind disclose the SoC part number? (Just curious, because I haven't seen any ARMv7 SoC without VFP.)

davecheney · 2017-01-01T03:32:28Z

Sadly you'll have to compile with GOARM=5 to use soft float emulation.

I'm using a BCM58625. I checked and found my kernel has VFP=n in the config. I switched it to VFP=y, recompiled, and the go code works!

Thank you very much for your prompt and useful assistance.

davecheney · 2017-01-01T07:18:11Z

Not a problem, I'm glad you got it working.
