x/build/env/linux-riscv-qemu: add new RISC-V builder under qemu

Closed this issue · 9 comments

@rminnich @josharian et al want to start landing RISC-V code, so we need a builder.

@rminnich says qemu (from the sifive fork) is good now.

We can run a builder similar to what we're going to do for Fuchsia and what we previous did for a bit in https://github.com/golang/build/tree/master/env/linux-arm-qemu (but that was more emulation than we'd probably want here). We'll probably want to only run tests in qemu but do builds natively.

@rminnich, on golang-dev you wrote:

tip qemu is unlikely to be the right choice.
The riscv qemu has not been all that stable. I use the fork from
sifive. We'll want to use that

Where is that fork?

Searching for [sifive qemu], one of the top hits is from April 2018 with title "RISC-V QEMU Part 2: The RISC-V QEMU port is upstream - SiFive" but I guess https://github.com/sifive/freedom-u-sdk has a risc-qemu submodule that goes to ... https://github.com/riscv/riscv-qemu/tree/ad8989a3b5359eb1afa57d7ffedeea6a3c797d9c .... so, that one? Or which branch thereof?

Thanks.

Sorry if this is already known but the Risc-V have been upstreamed into Qemu and version 3.1.0 already works.

Fedora also have a riscv64 image and multiple packages built (including gccgo). I'm running it locally and found no problems so far:

I am leading Fedora/RISCV efforts and happy to answer any questions.

In general RISC-V development went upstream and the last 2-3 QEMU releases support RISC-V. Similar with libvirt.

We've had linux/riscv64 builders running on real hardware since November 2019. As such, I doubt we want to bring one up on qemu any more.
