Custom kernel build fails: rsync: Argument list too long
by Sebastian Hetze 27 Feb '25

Hi *, when trying to build the centos-stream-9 main-automotive kernel for the x86_64 architecture as described in the automotive sig documentation <https://sigs.centos.org/automotive/building/building_an_os_image_that%20use…>, it fails. The failing command appears to be /usr/bin/make -s 'HOSTCFLAGS=-O2 -fexceptions -g -grecord-gcc-switches -pipe -Wall -Werror=format-security -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wp,-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1 -fstack-protector-strong -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-annobin-cc1 -m64 -march=x86-64-v2 -mtune=generic -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -fstack-clash-protection -fcf-protection' 'HOSTLDFLAGS=-Wl,-z,relro -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z,now -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-ld -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-annobin-cc1 ' -j12 ARCH=x86_64 V=1 'TARGETS=bpf cgroup mm livepatch net net/forwarding net/mptcp netfilter tc-testing memfd drivers/net/bonding iommu cachestat drivers/net' SKIP_TARGETS= FORCE_TARGETS=1 INSTALL_PATH=/home/she/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/kernel-automotive-5.14.0-570.518_at.el9iv.x86_64/usr/libexec/kselftests VMLINUX_H= DEFAULT_INSTALL_HDR_PATH=0 install with the error make[3]: Entering directory '/home/she/Workspace/centos-stream-9/redhat/rpm/BUILD/kernel-5.14.0-570.518_at.el9iv/linux-5.14.0-570.518_at.el9iv.x86_64/tools/testing/selftests/bpf' Auto-detecting system features: ... llvm: [ OFF ] make[3]: rsync: Argument list too long make[3]: *** [Makefile:768: test_progs-no_alu32-extras] Error 127 make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/she/Workspace/centos-stream-9/redhat/rpm/BUILD/kernel-5.14.0-570.518_at.el9iv/linux-5.14.0-570.518_at.el9iv.x86_64/tools/testing/selftests/bpf' make[2]: *** [Makefile:233: install] Error 2 This is the unmodified main-automotive branch of the current centos-stream-9 kernel on a current centos-stream-9 system. Setting ulimit -S -s unlimited for ARG_MAX 6291456 does not make any difference. It looks like the actual problem is not with the rsync command line. Any hint what is going wrong and how to proceed?

Re: autosd install on x86_64 hardware
by Alexander Larsson 18 Feb '25

The current automotive images are not compatible with bootc. We hope to eventually change this, but that needs some serious engineering work. The approach for image updates in automotive is based on ostree. automotive-image-builder builds ostree commits, as well as an initial physical image containing that commit. Once the image with the initial commit is deployed, ostree is used to do the update. This happens either by pulling from an ostree repository or by side-loading an offline update file (an ostree static delta) using whatever mechanism you have available. Here are some some docs explaining how this works: https://sigs.centos.org/automotive/building/updating_ostree/#updating-ostre… https://sigs.centos.org/automotive/building/creating_static_deltas/ Also, in general the approach we the automotive images use is to produce physical images that are flashed, we don't use installers like anaconda. Installers are not really a good fit for embedded style hardware. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Alexander Larsson Red Hat, Inc alexl(a)redhat.com alexander.larsson(a)gmail.com

autosd install on x86_64 hardware
by shetze＠redhat.com 11 Feb '25

Hi *, we are currently trying to install autosd on hardware for our railway project. x86_64 hardware is used in Deutsche Bahn rolling stock. For the Automated Train project, we want to install the CentOS autosd on a duagon G28M processor module. We intend to install a bootc container via Anaconda from an ISO image. On the running system, a rebase to a registry-based image can then be performed for (incremental) updates. Does this make sense, or is there a better approach? As far as I can see, containers or OCI images created by auto-image-builder are not recognized as bootable by bootc-image-builder. With rpm-ostree compose I can create a correct bootc container image from the auto-image-builder's ostree commit. I can perform a rebase on this image, but it doesn't boot because the commitmeta signature for ostree-prepare-root cannot be loaded. I can't make an installable ISO from the bootc container image either, because the osbuild doesn't support the autosd-9 distro. My impression is also that the containers created by the auto-image-builder contain only a single blob, so they are not suitable for incremental updates at all. So we won't reach our goal on the way decribed above. Do you have any hints, feedback or tips?
