Provide linux aarch64 support

[mhalbritter]

Hello,

would it be possible to provide linux aarch64 support?

Thanks,
Moritz

See jetty/jetty.project#7630

I've made some progress towards this (via MacOS), see the latest update on #1034.

Note that whilst adding build support might be close, I'm not sure when we'd be able to do signed releases via Maven Central... We would be need a reproducible build environment (doable) which worked for the as much of the Linux/ARM ecosystem as possible, e.g. are there ABI differences between different hardware platforms? I think BoringSSL on ARM Linux should cope whether or not crypto ARM extensions are present, but we'd need to test it :)

Yup. Although even that can be complicated because we honor both static information (-march=armv8-a+crypto) and runtime information (getauxval). So if you make builds, you'll need to decide what baseline you're targeting and configure the build accordingly.

(That's true for x86 too. If you build with AVX2 instructions statically available, the resulting binary may not work on pre-AVX2 machines.)

Hi, @davidben and @prbprbprb, i using linux_arm64. And tried to build for m1(i know ) conscrypt , but i saw that we need an android sdk android sdk that does not exist for the linux_arm64 version, I want to find out if there is some way to get a concrypt for linux_arm64, without manually building the android sdk? and even if I get the android sdk, will it be possible for me to compile concrypt code for linux_arm64?

+1 we are trying to build on AWS Graviton and is running in

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no conscrypt_openjdk_jni-linux-aarch_64 in java.library.path: [/usr/java/packages/lib, /lib, /usr/lib, /usr/lib64, /lib64]

Thank you for the arm support for MacOS! @prbprbprb are we planning to provide arm support for linux now too?
Eagerly waiting for it.

Hi, is there any plan to move forward with aarch64 support?

Hi, I am working on a patch to add linux-aarch64 support. Will post it in a few days.

PR: #1204

BoringSSL build command is the same as linux x86.
