Error compiling F-stack on aarch64

[baipaiha]

Trying to build F-stack on aarch64/arm64 with ubuntu 22.04 (Bluefield-2 DPU / Cortex-A72) Assuming it can be supported since i've seen commits about aarch64/arm64: c74bbd605e89bf9ff30b780902b4cf1f8349dc22

• After fixing missing stdlib.h includes in ff_dpdk_if.c and ff_dpdk_pcap.c:

  ff_dpdk_if.c:160:11: error: implicit declaration of function ‘calloc’

• Build continue but fail on ff_compat.c:

• By trying to remove -Werror, build fail on ff_freebsd_init.c:

  /home/ubuntu/work/f-stack/lib/include/machine/pcpu.h:50:40: error: ‘struct pcpu’ has no member named ‘pc_prvspace’

    |     ^~~~~~~~
  make: *** [Makefile:672: ff_freebsd_init.o] Error 1

Has anyone successfully built f-stack on aarch64 ? Any idea on how to fix the call-clobbered register used for global register variable error ?

./machine_include/machine/pcpu.h:60:23: error: call-clobbered register used for global register variable [-Werror] 60 | register struct pcpu *pcpup __asm ("x18"); | ^~~~~ you can add: -ffixed-x18 option to lib/Makefile

has no member named ‘pc_prvspace’, add the pc_prvspace to struct pcpu, deal it

[GeorgKreuzmayr]

I am running into the same issue when trying to compile f-stack on ARM. @wanglailing: What exactly do you mean by "add the pc_prvspace to struct pcpu, deal it"? Could you elaborate on how to fix this error?

ff_freebsd_init.c: In function ‘ff_freebsd_init’:
/data/f-stack/lib/include/machine/pcpu.h:50:42: error: ‘struct pcpu’ has no member named ‘pc_prvspace’; did you mean ‘pc_device’?
