Encounter not found instruction error and poor performance of hyperscan

[datonli]

Hi all, had anyone encounter this problem like me below:

It seems like a problem about cpu instruction set, my /proc/cpuinfo return :

[root@XXXX hs_build]# gcc -march=native -Q --help=target | grep march
-march= core-avx2

when I forbidden the instruction set avx and bmi2, then it could complete the compilation, but the hyperscan 's performance is just about 500Mb/s, it's really long distance with the official numbers. I doubt that it maybe relate with the instruction sets.

[mdb256]

That build issue looks like a mismatch between the compiler and assembler - the C compiler is generating asm with avx2 instructions, but the assembler doesn't understand these instructions.

It appears to be Linux, but which distro and toolchain are you using?

[datonli]

@mdb256 What I'm using is listed below:

cmake 3.7.1,
gcc 4.8.5 (also used 4.8.2, same error),
ragel 6.9,
Python 2.7.13,
boost 1.62.0,
pcap 1.8.1
hyperscan 4.3.2

[mdb256]

What version of binutils? That's what provides the assembler, as.

[datonli]

Sorry for the duplicate reply, my as version is like that:

[root@XXXX hyperscan]# as -V
GNU assembler version 2.20.51.0.2 (x86_64-redhat-linux) using BFD version version 2.20.51.0.2-5.34.el6 20100205

Maybe we could discuss this in mailing list.

[mdb256]

As we have discussed this directly I will close this issue. Please open a new issue or contact us directly if you are having any more problems.
