[dpdk-dev] CPU does not support x86-64 instruction set

[dpdk-dev] CPU does not support x86-64 instruction set

[Alex Markuze]

Hi, I'm new to DPDK and Im trying to compile on a x86 Ubuntu 14.04 VM(KVM).
And I'm getting this error:

"error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set"

I've seen in the Archive that Jinho had this same issue last year, I'd be
glad to know how it was resolved.

Thanks
Alex.

You should try "-cpu host" option of Qemu/KVM in order to have the full 
instruction set of your host.

Please confirm it's working.

[dpdk-dev] Fwd: CPU does not support x86-64 instruction set

[Alex Markuze]

Thomas Thanks for your reply,
I've resolved the issue in a similar way by modifying the VM xml config
file with this line
<cpu mode='host-passthrough’/>.

I was wondering if a Makefile/.config solution exists w/o modifying an
existing VM in cases where its not possible.
I've tried to modify the .config file with 'CONFIG_RTE_MACHINE="native" ->
CONFIG_RTE_MACHINE="x86-64"'
But it didn't seem to matter (I didn't explore this much farther, I
dint really try a clean build and didn't make sure that the .config file
I've modified was read).

Alex.

Not sure to understand what you want.
If you try to build DPDK for most of machines (including VM), you should set
	CONFIG_RTE_MACHINE="default"
in your .config file.

   I'm guessing that the gcc doesn't understand the Arch so it throws this
error:
  "error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set"

   I was looking for a way to tell the gcc not to worry about the QEMU cpu
and just compile x86_64 binary.

This error can also be cause by the VM's CPU definition not being defined. The following xml snippet of code is from my DPDK VM's definition.

[dpdk-dev] CPU does not support x86-64 instruction set

[jinho hwang]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 633 bytes --]

Hi,

I am having trouble to compile the dpdk in a virtual machine. I am using
KVM as a hypervisor, and guest os is ubuntu 12.10, kernel 3.5.0, x86_64. I
have been using dpdk for a week and run the examples in a native platform.
But when I try to move it to virtual machine, it gives me the following
error:

/home/guest/dpdk-1.2.3r1/lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/eal/eal.c:1:0: error: CPU
you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set

I am sure that I have installed 64 bit version as it shows in "uname -a".
Also, /proc/cpuinfo shows "model name: QEMU Virtual CPU version
(cpu64-rhe16)".

Do you have any idea?

Thank you,

Jinho

I figured out just now. It was because gcc version. I used to use 4.4, but
in the guest virtual machine, I used 4.7 which may have additional
functions to check strictly. - Jinho
