Bug ID: 13621
Summary: Buildroot builds for i686 even though i486 is selected
Product: buildroot
Version: 2021.02
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: Other
Assignee: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
Reporter: moelzerjens at gmail.com
CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
Target Milestone: ---

Created attachment 8801
--> https://bugs.busybox.net/attachment.cgi?id=8801&action=edit
defconfig

Selecting i486 as target architecture variant results in a kernel that's built for i686.

Steps to reproduce:

Build a image with the attached minimal defconfig and run qemu-system-i386 -nographic -cpu 486 -kernel output/images/bzImage results in This kernel requires an i686 CPU, but only detected an i486 CPU..

--- Comment #1 from Peter Seiderer <[email protected]> --- (In reply to moelzerjens from comment #0)

The buildroot kernel configure/make is called with the correct 'ARCH=i386' and uses the kernel i386_defconfig without further specification of CPU type, which defaults from the linux kernel configure (see e.g. build/linux-5.11/arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu) to M686:

choice
prompt "Processor family"
default M686 if X86_32
default GENERIC_CPU if X86_64

For workaround specify the correct CPU either by configuring a custom linux kernel config/defconfig file (or configure by 'make linux-menuconfig')...

Maybe something which can be improved in buildroot..., on the other side a very special use-case ;-)
