sbcl fails to build on PPC: fatal error encountered in SBCL pid 16153: dynamic space too small for core

Description

I am trying to get sbcl to build for PPC. This ticket is for @2.2.2, which is not the current version in Macports. However please bear with me here. I am pretty sure restoring PPC support into @2.2.4 is relatively trivial once @2.2.2 is confirmed to build (it is the last version having PPC code before it was removed). (In fact I have preliminary patches for @2.2.4.)

I need to get past the following error. I initially got it when using @1.2.8 to build @2.2.2. Then I built @1.5.9 with @1.2.8 and tried again, same failure.

//entering make-target-2.sh
//doing warm init - compilation phase
This is SBCL 2.2.2, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.

fatal error encountered in SBCL pid 16153:

Command failed: SBCL_MACOSX_VERSION_MIN=10.6 CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 CXX=/usr/bin/g++-4.2 CPP=/usr/bin/cpp-4.2 sh ./make.sh  --prefix=/opt/local --xc-host="/opt/local/share/sbcl-ppc/bin/sbcl --core /opt/local/share/sbcl-ppc/lib/sbcl/sbcl.core --disable-debugger --sysinit /dev/null --userinit /dev/null"  --dynamic-space-size=8Gb
Exit code: 1

I added --dynamic-space-size=8Gb following some suggestion online, it did not help. (At first I did not specify this flag.)

  1. S. A caveat: threads are broken (might be fixable), so my builds are without variants added.

Some test failures with 1.2.8 are not PPC-specific: https://sourceforge.net/p/sbcl/mailman/message/21453445/

@barracuda156 Thanks for the hard work here. Of course I wish I had access to a PPC system to help, but perhaps I can coordinate more fully with the SBCL crew on IRC <irc://libera.chat/#sbcl> or the SBCL bug tracker <https://launchpad.net/sbcl> if you need something? Feel free to contact me "out of band".

Feel free to contact me "out of band".

Thank you for replying! There are two immediate problems I face, and any help will be greatly appreciated here:

  1. There is a section in src/runtime/ppc-assem.S which has never been fixed for Darwin ABI:
    	/* Call out to obtain our TLS block. */
    	load(reg_NL0,CSYMBOL(specials))
    	/* This won't work on darwin: wrong fixup style.  And is it
    	 * supposed to be lis/ori or lis/addi?  Or does it differ
    	 * between darwin and everything else again? */
    	lis reg_CFUNC,CSYMBOL(pthread_getspecific)@h
    	ori reg_CFUNC,reg_CFUNC,CSYMBOL(pthread_getspecific)@l
    	mtctr reg_CFUNC
    	bctrl
    	mr reg_THREAD, reg_NL0
    

Those suffices @ are invalid, of course, and the code fails. However it is required in order to build with threads enabled. I tried patching it to:

+#ifdef LISP_FEATURE_DARWIN
+	lis reg_CFUNC,hi16(CSYMBOL(pthread_getspecific))
+	ori reg_CFUNC,reg_CFUNC,lo16(CSYMBOL(pthread_getspecific))
+#else
 	lis reg_CFUNC,CSYMBOL(pthread_getspecific)@h
 	ori reg_CFUNC,reg_CFUNC,CSYMBOL(pthread_getspecific)@l
+#endif

This fails however:

ld: absolute address to symbol _pthread_getspecific in a different linkage unit not supported in _call_into_lisp from ppc-assem.o
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [sbcl] Error 1

This is why I had to build without threads (well, I don't promise threads will work if this is fixed, but at least this must be fixed in some way in order to proceed). It has been broken forever: from @1.0.47 up to @2.2.2 this chunk of code remains unchanged, and in @2.2.3 upstream, sadly, just threw away Darwin-specific parts. (So I think it has never been built for PPC at all.)

  1. The issue in the ticket above:
    fatal error encountered in SBCL pid 16153:
    dynamic space too small for core: 31044KiB required, 0KiB available.
    

Since it is not pointing to a specific error in the code, I have no hint how to try fixing it.

Support for Darwin/PPC was removed with sbcl-2.2.3 <http://sbcl.org/news.html>.

Gonna be kinda tricky to do this for a single Portfile, so I wonder if anyone can chime in on what should be done: a "new" port with the architecture in the name ('lang/sbcl-ppc')?

What I had already done is sbcl-ppc-bootstrap port that uses 1.0.47 (the last available binary) to build 1.2.8 (maximum it can build, same for Intel), and then I used 1.2.8 to build 1.5.9. Versions 2.x.x do not build yet, however.

Yes, I am aware that upstream removed PPC code in 2.2.3, that’s why I refer to 2.2.2 in the ticket. However it seems not too hard to revert the removal.

If the issue is purely technical, then it is not too hard to build PPC code on a modern Intel Mac. Set up 10.6.x in VM, make sure to install Rosetta, build Macports for PPC natively, run PPC binaries. I have such set up on my MacMini at home with Catalina.

But of course, the problem may rather be economical: upstream has limited time and may prefer use it for smth else. This is understandable, so my questions here do not imply I expect others to fix the thing and keep maintaining. It just might happen that for someone from developers errors I reported are known and trivial, while for me it may take days or weeks.

My general understanding (which can be wrong) is that compilers, if properly designed, are cross-platform, and we don’t need to change PPC assembler, it just has to be fixed once. If gcc11 builds, sbcl should ))

  1. S. I don’t want to create a burden for anyone, and lack of hardware or spare time is perfectly understandable. If someone comes up with a useful suggestion, great, otherwise I will try to fix it myself and update on success or failure.

I will look into assembler error, it’s two lines of code after all, should be fixable.

I might be leery of not understanding how Rosetta interacts with my debugging. But maybe I should give this a whirl on the 2013 iMac I have running Catalina.

Once you get something running in MacPorts we can perhaps assess the effort required to merge the patches upstream. Since they don't seem to have test coverage under ppc/darwin, figuring out how to give them a CI instance they can run to see when they break ppc/darwin would probably win over bonus points.

Please do not try it now, it won't work for sbcl-ppc, at least right-away. The problem is that we are forced to start with pre-built binary, and it fails, confusing the arch with x86_64. I have the same problem with other ports that rely on pre-built boot binary: my ghc-ppc-bootstrap works on 10.5.8 and 10.6 PPC, but fails on Rosetta, and the recent openjdk7 attempt also fails.

I tried now in order to let you know if it works. I get these funny errors:

CORRUPTION WARNING in SBCL pid 40193:
Memory fault at ebebebeb (pc=0x0, sp=0x0)
The integrity of this image is possibly compromised.

I tried to trick make-config.sh, forcing ppc, but it did not help.

So yeah, while 90% or more of ports build for PPC on Rosetta, few fail, and this is such a case.

SBCL development doesn't have tons of resources. Krystof seems to be implying that they don't really have a demand from users.

Well, Mac community have to blame themselves, honestly speaking, since they generally keep away from developers, and then developers get impression that no one uses PPC Macs for years. At the same time even more obscure archs like MIPS and SPARC remain supported. Like, how many users of SGI are there? (I wish I had Tezro, but it's just crazy expensive.)

Once you get something running in MacPorts we can perhaps assess the effort required to merge the patches upstream. Since they don't seem to have test coverage under ppc/darwin, figuring out how to give them a CI instance they can run to see when they break ppc/darwin would probably win over bonus points.

In principle, I can arrange remote access to my G5 Quad, if someone would really want to put some effort into this, but as I said, my hopes are very modest.

I'm interested in SBCL. So I tried to install SBCL on PPC Tiger. I modified the SBCL portfile based on the old one which is got from GitHub.

Then I was able to install SBCL-2.0.9. But I cannot install the later versions than 2.0.9.

Awesome!

Could you describe the process step-wise? For me 1.5.9 failed on Tiger (on Leopard and SL PPC it builds fine).

Did you make any custom patches for these?

  1. S. I did not yet try building 2.0.9. 2.0.11 failed to build. I will try now with 2.0.9.

Replying to tomio-arisaka:

Maybe you can suggest a better procedure than I have used in my portfiles above. Ideally we would want to minimize steps needed to get to the latest (or the latest feasible for PPC) version of sbcl. (In any case we will likely need a new port to bootstrap some working version of sbcl – what I have as sbcl-ppc-bootstrap or alike.)

comment:18 Changed 3 years ago by barracuda156

I confirm that sbcl 2.0.9 builds. In fact I built it with 1.2.8, which means no in-between steps: sbcl-ppc-bootstrap (1.2.8) → sbcl (2.0.9).

"MacPorts-SBCL-PPC-Tiger.tar.bz2" file includes the old SBCL portfiles modified by me. I think they work, but they are not good scripts:)

Thank you very much! I will look through these.

Do I get it right that I have built without threads and fancy variants? (For me these fail, and at least one reason I point above – a chunk of code invalid for Darwin ABI.)

The implementation of SBCL's threads has not been applied to PPC-Darwin. So I gave up using SBCL's threads on PPC-Darwin.

But I'm glad that SBCL-2.0.9 can compile Maxima on PPC-Tiger.

By the way, I'm trying to use another Lisp which has the functions of threads. (e.g. ECL-21.2.1 and CCL-1.2/MCL-6.0)

I will have to take a break from this (and everything else) until the end of the month, as I will be away from PPC hardware. (Just letting you know that I did not give up.)

Replying to easye:

Support for Darwin/PPC was removed with sbcl-2.2.3 <http://sbcl.org/news.html>.

Gonna be kinda tricky to do this for a single Portfile, so I wonder if anyone can chime in on what should be done: a "new" port with the architecture in the name ('lang/sbcl-ppc')?

We got two alternative pathways now, though both lead to 2.0.9 maximum, at the moment. Which, do you think, is more Macports-compatible?

And if you were able to get any hints from the upstream in the meanwhile, please update us. I can bring back ppc support into the latest sbcl, but we need to fix 2.2.2 first.

Good to know that. Hopefully, we at least can bring 2.0.9 for PPC into Macports soon.

I got clisp built on 10.6 PPC but did not try using it yet.

A statement from the SBCL maintainer via IRC:

<Krystof> easye: I think it's worth saying that if there are users willing to                                      
          step up and maintain our ppc/darwin support, we'd reinstate it on                                        
          that basis                                                    [13:20]                                    
<Krystof> the problem we were having is: no hardware, no access to hardware,                                       
          no demand from users, no ability to check whether changes for other                                      
          platforms cause breakage                                      [13:21]     

Resurrecting the thread, where do we stand at the moment? I can restore PPC into the current code, for the most part, however there are two problems: a) threads supports apparently was always broken and b) versions of sbcl past 2.0.9 fail to build. Some advice on the errors I faced (described above) would be very much helpful, since otherwise it is not clear what to try fixing :) It’s understandable that the upstream cannot test PPC builds, but if it is possible to consult with someone, that gonna be great. For example, what has changed in 2.0.10 substantially enough as to break PPC build?

Although performed outside of a MacPorts build environment, I was able to successfully compile SBCL 2.2.2 using SBCL 1.0.47 on Mac OS X 10.5.8. I will attach an archive to this ticket. Attached to this archive is the full compilation together with the test suite and "port installed" output.

I do not have the time right now to attempt patching lang/sbcl/Portfile, but this demonstrates a proof of concept.

Thank you very much! I will look into logs and try to figure out how we can patch the Portfile. If that works, then we can restore PPC support into 2.2.6, perhaps.
