build problems found in Orangepi-r1_bullseye_current

[Caletronics]

Hello and Happy New Year,

 

From https://redirect.armbian.com/orangepi-r1/Bullseye_current I downloaded:

Armbian_22.11.1_Orangepi-r1_bullseye_current_5.15.80.img.xz

and installed. I see a file that shouldn't exist:

$ ls -l /*core
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16789504 Nov 30 11:55 /qemu_fstype_20221130-195503_13162.core

 

A short while later I found this:

$ armbian-add-overlay /etc/keys-h3.dts
/usr/sbin/armbian-add-overlay: line 62: /lib/modules/5.15.80-sunxi/build/scripts/dtc/dtc: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
Error: dtc does not support compiling overlays

 

There is a symlink involved:

$ ls -l /lib/modules/5.15.80-sunxi/build
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 Nov 30 03:13 /lib/modules/5.15.80-sunxi/build -> /usr/src/linux-headers-5.15.80-sunxi

 

and I find:

$ file /usr/src/linux-headers-5.15.80-sunxi/scripts/dtc/dtc
/usr/src/linux-headers-5.15.80-sunxi/scripts/dtc/dtc: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, BuildID[sha1]=739474e836a0c8fb69e7d3902622523128d499a4, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, not stripped

 

... which should be ARM not x86_64.

The wlan0 interface seems to work as expected but this is still worrisome. Again, may or may not be related to the build.

 

I'm not sure if the above are related because of some error during the build or if I should report these seperately.

 

Thanks,

Chris

A followup:

# apt-get --reinstall install linux-headers-current-sunxi

# file /usr/src/linux-headers-5.15.80-sunxi/scripts/dtc/dtc

... ARM, EABI5 ...

shows that this is a problem in the image.

 

On the other hand doing this:

apt-get install wpasupplicant/bullseye-backports

still produces kernel backtraces.

 

And after this:

# apt-get install linux-image-edge-sunxi linux-headers-edge-sunxi linux-dtb-edge-sunxi

reboot

# uname -a
Linux orangepi-r1 6.0.10-sunxi #22.11.1 SMP Wed Nov 30 11:14:43 UTC 2022 armv7l GNU/Linux

I still get kernel backtraces from wpa_supplicant (direct or via nmtui).

The wlan0 interface does work regardless.

This image is assembled incorrectly. This error has been fixed in the build system to date.

You need to uninstall the kernel header package. Then install the dependencies necessary for the build.

apt-get install build-essential kmod debhelper devscripts

After that, install the kernel header package again.

 

@Igor I still have a question about why the kernel headers are installed in the standard image?

To make it easier for installing drivers via DKMS is the only reason. But I guess its better to disable?

For me, it's still vague. The topic requires study for me.
I assume that there should be no development packages in the standard image. The fakeroot package alone is a security issue.

We provide / have minimal images for software deployment purposes, where "nothing" comes preinstalled. Standard CLI image provides more things including possibility to recompile kernel, build armbian image, drivers, ... This was since ever, only default headers install was included recently.

This question is for a philosophical conversation.
Let's leave it hanging in the air.
