/en/development/build-cross-s390x 69 How to Build, Run and Debug ClickHouse on Linux for s390x (zLinux) Build on Linux for s390x (zLinux)

At the time of writing (2024 May), support for the s390x platform is considered experimental, i.e. some features are disabled or broken on s390x.

Building ClickHouse for s390x

s390x has two OpenSSL-related build options:

  • By default, OpenSSL is build on s390x as a shared library. This is different from all other platforms, where OpenSSL is build as static library.
  • To build OpenSSL as a static library regardless, pass -DENABLE_OPENSSL_DYNAMIC=0 to CMake.

These instructions assume that the host machine is x86_64 and has all the tooling required to build natively based on the build instructions. It also assumes that the host is Ubuntu 22.04 but the following instructions should also work on Ubuntu 20.04.

In addition to installing the tooling used to build natively, the following additional packages need to be installed:

apt-get install binutils-s390x-linux-gnu libc6-dev-s390x-cross gcc-s390x-linux-gnu binfmt-support qemu-user-static

If you wish to cross compile rust code install the rust cross compile target for s390x:

rustup target add s390x-unknown-linux-gnu

The s390x build uses the mold linker, download it from https://github.com/rui314/mold/releases/download/v2.0.0/mold-2.0.0-x86_64-linux.tar.gz and place it into your $PATH.

To build for s390x:

cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=cmake/linux/toolchain-s390x.cmake ..
ninja

Running

Once built, the binary can be run with, e.g.:

qemu-s390x-static -L /usr/s390x-linux-gnu ./clickhouse

Debugging

Install LLDB:

apt-get install lldb-15

To Debug a s390x executable, run clickhouse using QEMU in debug mode:

qemu-s390x-static -g 31338 -L /usr/s390x-linux-gnu ./clickhouse

In another shell run LLDB and attach, replace <Clickhouse Parent Directory> and <build directory> with the values corresponding to your environment.

lldb-15
(lldb) target create ./clickhouse
Current executable set to '/<Clickhouse Parent Directory>/ClickHouse/<build directory>/programs/clickhouse' (s390x).
(lldb) settings set target.source-map <build directory> /<Clickhouse Parent Directory>/ClickHouse

Visual Studio Code integration

  • CodeLLDB extension is required for visual debugging.
  • Command Variable extension can help dynamic launches if using CMake Variants.
  • Make sure to set the backend to your LLVM installation eg. "lldb.library": "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblldb-15.so"
  • Make sure to run the clickhouse executable in debug mode prior to launch. (It is also possible to create a preLaunchTask that automates this)

Example configurations

cmake-variants.yaml

buildType:
  default: relwithdebinfo
  choices:
    debug:
      short: Debug
      long: Emit debug information
      buildType: Debug
    release:
      short: Release
      long: Optimize generated code
      buildType: Release
    relwithdebinfo:
      short: RelWithDebInfo
      long: Release with Debug Info
      buildType: RelWithDebInfo
    tsan:
      short: MinSizeRel
      long: Minimum Size Release
      buildType: MinSizeRel

toolchain:
  default: default
  description: Select toolchain
  choices:
    default:
      short: x86_64
      long: x86_64
    s390x:
      short: s390x
      long: s390x
      settings:
        CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE: cmake/linux/toolchain-s390x.cmake

launch.json

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "lldb",
            "request": "custom",
            "name": "(lldb) Launch s390x with qemu",

            "preLaunchTask": "Run ClickHouse"
        }
    ]
}

settings.json

This would also put different builds under different subfolders of the build folder.

{
    "cmake.buildDirectory": "${workspaceFolder}/build/${buildKitVendor}-${buildKitVersion}-${variant:toolchain}-${variant:buildType}",
    "lldb.library": "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblldb-15.so"
}

run-debug.sh

#! /bin/sh
echo 'Starting debugger session'
cd $1
qemu-s390x-static -g 2159 -L /usr/s390x-linux-gnu $2 $3 $4

tasks.json

Defines a task to run the compiled executable in server mode under a tmp folder next to the binaries, with configuration from under programs/server/config.xml.
