Description Buchan Milne 2021-11-01 11:38:42 CET

Description of problem:

I was wanting to try waydroid and/or anbox. The current anbox-modules (https://github.com/anbox/anbox-modules) don't compile on kernel > 5.7, failing with: "ERROR: modpost: "kallsyms_lookup_name" undefined".

Similar reports (https://github.com/anbox/anbox-modules/issues/49) indicate that the drivers are now available upstream, and could be enabled, see e.g.:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Anbox#Building_a_kernel

If this isn't possible, I could package a fork that uses Kprobes: https://github.com/choff/anbox-modules

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. # zgrep -E '(CONFIG_ASHMEM|+CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES=)' /proc/config.gz
2. Search for ASHEMEM or BINDER in http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/kernel/current/SOURCES/defconfig-x86_64-desktop?view=markup
3.

Comment 2 Buchan Milne 2021-11-06 12:55:40 CET

I have succeeded with out-of-tree modules (dkms package), however I got stuck with:

11-06 10:00:19.105   427   427 E libpsi  : No kernel psi monitor support (errno=2)

So, regardless of enabling ashmem and binder, for the purposes of using waydroid (at least, possibly anbox as well), pressure stall information must also be enabled, at least:

CONFIG_PSI=y

In this case, psi must be enabled via kernel command line by appending `psi=1`, otherwise add:

CONFIG_PSI_DEFAULT_DISABLED=n

See https://github.com/waydroid/waydroid/issues/136

Comment 3 Thomas Backlund 2021-11-06 15:04:52 CET

I've enabled PSI in next kernel build (4.14.17-1 currently building), and you need to enable it with "psi=1"...

I need to think a bit about the other android bits

Comment 4 Buchan Milne 2021-11-06 15:33:29 CET

I built a kernel with only the following changes:

[root@buchan-desktop ~]# zgrep PSI /proc/config.gz 
CONFIG_PSI=y
# CONFIG_PSI_DEFAULT_DISABLED is not set
[root@buchan-desktop ~]# cat /proc/cmdline 
BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-5.10.75-1.mga8custom root=UUID=466aceb7-8be9-434c-ae3d-4247a70fd06f ro splash quiet noiswmd resume=/dev/VGsys/swap audit=0 psi=1 vga=791


With the rest of what I've packaged so far for waydroid (including ashmem_linux and binder_linux from https://github.com/choff/anbox-modules as a dkms package), this was sufficient to get an android container to start (on Mageia 8). I'll try and get what I've done uploaded later today, so we don't necessarily need them enabled in the kernel package.

Comment 5 Thierry Vignaud 2022-02-09 06:19:05 CET

Were you able to run anbox?

CC: (none) => thierry.vignaud

Comment 6 Buchan Milne 2022-02-13 11:28:49 CET

I didn't try anbox itself, I wanted these changes for waydroid:

http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/waydroid/current/SPECS/waydroid.spec?revision=1754269&view=markup

I have been successfully running waydroid on Mageia 8 since I uploaded it. On Mageia 8 you need:
* to add `psi=1` to your boot parameters
* install kernel >= kernel-5.14.17-1.mga8 (e.g. current kernel from updates should work)
* install waydroid from backports/testing (urpmi waydroid)
* Run `waydroid init` to install an android runtime
* systemctl start waydroid-container as root


To run an android container:
* Be logged into a wayland session (plasma or Gnome)
* waydroid session start
* waydroid show-full-ui

Similar steps should work on Cauldron with less effort.

Comment 8 Buchan Milne 2022-12-10 18:46:37 CET

Please try dkms-anbox-0.0.3-1.mga9.noarch when it is available on your mirror.

(My local mirror is out-of-date and my cauldron VM doesn't have the matching kernel-devel package installed, so I haven't tried it myself on a 6.0.x kernel yet)

I don't know the latest kernel version of mga8, if there are in 6.3.* or 6.4.*, I could push an update indeed!?

Comment 20 Thomas Andrews 2023-10-17 04:14:14 CEST

Backported kernels in mga8 went as high as 6.1.45, but "regular" kernel is 5.15.126. IMO, anyone who needed the backported kernels because of newer hardware should have upgraded to mga9 by now.

But then, I can't decide these things by myself.

Comment 21 Thomas Andrews 2023-10-17 04:24:21 CEST

MGA9-64 Plasma in VirtualBox.

I downloaded dkms-anbox using qarepo, then used urpmi to successfully install waydroid. I watched part of a short video on waydroid, discovering I should have been using wayland for success, but I forged ahead anyway.

I enabled the waydroid-container service, then ran "waydroid init." Lots of stuff was downloaded and stored locally, and when finished, it quit. Seemed normal enough, as far as I went. I would say it was enough to show that the modules were built.

Giving this an OK, and validating.

Comment 23 Chris Denice 2023-10-30 22:24:04 CET

Let me add a little comment, I've pushed further my attempts to run waydroid, and even though this update has fixed the problem with anbox, we have other problems with two other packages that prevents waydroid to successfully start: python-gbinder and libgbinder. I will open other reports for them to fix that.

NB: All that because my new battery charger from Traxxas (Live Peak) is utterly sh... You have to download an android app to control it, even though it comes with buttons. How stupid is that??? I still cannot believe some enginners manades to come with such a crazy idea...

On the bright side, that's why I am going to make waydroid working :)
