I will fix it as my top priority today.

Reproduce steps:

- Build core-image-sato-sdk on qemuarm64
- Run qemu
- Log over ssh (openssh) failed


I did have a little bit of a look at this. It seems to hang during
key
generation before starting the server during boot.

I had a suspicion that the problem could be a lack of entropy.
We're
supposed to have the virtio entropy generation being passed through
from the host to avoid problems with entropy starvation but I'm not
sure its running for arm64.

I noticed the .config shows CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_VIRTIO=m but setting
that
to =y didn't help. The virtio rng connects via pci bus iirc and
CONFIG_PCI isn't set so I'm now looking into that...

To update, adding this config to the kernel:

CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_VIRTIO=y
CONFIG_PCI=y
CONFIG_PCI_HOST_GENERIC=y

Hi RP,

Without modify config, just revert two commits on kernel source
could
fix the issue
(sshd start successfully)


1. Revert "random: fix crng_ready() test"

This reverts commit 43838a23a05fbd13e47d750d3dfd77001536dd33


2. Revert "random: use a different mixing algorithm for
add_device_randomness()"

This reverts commit dc12baacb95f205948f64dc936a47d89ee110117

But I am not sure the affect of the modification to other arch, and
the root
cause the above two commits introduced

Still requiring more digging

We do not want to revert those commits. I think the right solution is
to enabled:

Agreed. Reverting the commits is not an option.

Bruce


CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_VIRTIO=y
CONFIG_PCI=y
CONFIG_PCI_HOST_GENERIC=y

in the qemuarm64 machine's kernel defconfig and this will then allow
the host entropy to pass through to the guest. This is how all the
other qemu machines are working, its just not working on qemuarm64 due
to the PCI bus being disabled currently (the device is a PCI virtio
driver).

We therefore need to give Bruce the right changes to the kernel config
fragments to enable the above options. I think the options you
mentioned are automatically enabled if the PCI bus and host generic
options are enabled.

Cheers,

Richard
