Target: x86_64
Summary: OpenSSL RSA key generation hangs on x86_64
Product: buildroot
Version: unspecified
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: Other
AssignedTo: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
ReportedBy: info at je-eigen-domein.nl
CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
Estimated Hours: 0.0

OpenSSL ends up in an endless 100% CPU loop when generating keys on x86_64.

E.g. when running "openssh" for the first time, or executing "openssl genrsa"

It seems that the openssl library buildroot produces includes code for 32-bit systems, and does not work properly on x86_64.

In openssl.mk It tests for BR2_ARCH:

==
OPENSSL_TARGET_ARCH=generic32

[...]

ifeq ($(BR2_ARCH),x86_64)
OPENSSL_TARGET_ARCH=x86_64
endif
==

Not sure why, but this does not seem to work, and OpenSSL always builds as "generic32"

If I use $(ARCH) instead, it does work properly and solves the key generation problem:

==
ifeq ($(ARCH),x86_64)
OPENSSL_TARGET_ARCH=x86_64
endif
==

[Buildroot] [Bug 497] OpenSSL RSA key generation hangs on x86_64

https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=497

--- Comment #1 from Thomas Petazzoni <[email protected]> 2009-07-29 15:07:30 UTC --- You're right.

There are two solutions to fix the issue. The first solution is to use $(ARCH), as you suggested. ARCH is defined by project/Makefile.in. The second solution if to change the test to be

ifeq ($(BR2_ARCH),"x86_64")

note the double quotes around x86_64.

Not sure which one is best, though.

--- Comment #2 from Peter Korsgaard <[email protected]> 2009-07-29 19:15:36 UTC --- It's because BR2_ARCH is a string value, so it contains " chars as well, E.G. the tests have to be written as:

ifeq ($(BR2_ARCH),"x86_64")
OPENSSL_TARGET_ARCH=x86_64
endif

I'll fix it in git - Thanks.
