After some consideration, I think indeed this kernel option needs to be enabled. 1) Rasperry pi binaries While using rasperry-pi targetted Docker images is terrible for performance, rebuilding the images for ARMv8 is often a messy process. And then there is the valid usecase of developing images and apps for rasperry pi users. Finally, there are some binary-only rasperry pi apps. 2) Support for android apps While anbox isn't around for armv8, it's probably just a matter of time. Android ecosystem is binary-only and a non-trivial amount of binaries have been built for pre-ARMv7 times. 3) armel development Most obsolete of all the options, but some people might want to use arm64 machines to build and test apps to be deployed on existing armel HW. --- debian/config/arm64/config | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/debian/config/arm64/config b/debian/config/arm64/config index 2be794a6c..a0432894d 100644 --- a/debian/config/arm64/config +++ b/debian/config/arm64/config @@ -12,6 +12,10 @@ CONFIG_SCHED_MC=y CONFIG_SECCOMP=y CONFIG_KEXEC=y CONFIG_XEN=y +CONFIG_ARMV8_DEPRECATED=y +CONFIG_SWP_EMULATION=y +CONFIG_CP15_BARRIER_EMULATION=y +CONFIG_SETEND_EMULATION=y CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE=y CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL=y CONFIG_ARM64_ACPI_PARKING_PROTOCOL=y -- 2.11.0
