Timings are cumulative.\n 4→\n 5→---\n 6→\n 7→## Slide 1: Title [0:00 - 0:08]\n 8→\n 9→*[Walk on, click to first slide.]*\n 10→\n 11→Hi, I'm Josie. This talk is about Arch Linux on an IBM mainframe.\n 12→\n 13→---\n 14→\n 15→## Slide 2: The Premise [0:08 - 0:25]\n 16→\n 17→I use Arch btw.\n 18→\n 19→*[pause for recognition]*\n 20→\n 21→On an IBM mainframe.\n 22→\n 23→*[pause]*\n 24→\n 25→An architecture lineage from 1964. IBM System/360, now z/Architecture.\n 26→The machine your bank still runs its core software on. That one.\n 27→\n 28→---\n 29→\n 30→## Slide 3: s390x in 30 seconds [0:25 - 0:50]\n 31→\n 32→Quick primer. s390x is IBM Z, also branded LinuxONE. It's 64-bit,\n 33→big-endian -- basically the last big-endian architecture anyone still\n 34→manufactures. It doesn't boot, it does IPL -- Initial Program Load.\n 35→Storage isn't a disk, it's DASD. Networking is QETH -- QDIO Ethernet, because apparently regular\n 36→Ethernet wasn't complicated enough. Your bank runs on this hardware. Possibly your government too.\n 37→\n 38→---\n 39→\n 40→## Slide 4: \"Why?\" [0:50 - 1:00]\n 41→\n 42→*[Click once, blank \"Why?\" appears. Let it sit for a beat.]*\n 43→\n 44→Because nobody said I could.\n 45→\n 46→*[Click]*\n 47→\n 48→Also nobody said I couldn't.\n 49→\n 50→---\n 51→\n 52→## Slide 5: The Problem [1:00 - 1:20]\n 53→\n 54→So here's the thing. Arch Linux assumes you're building on the same\n 55→architecture you're targeting. That makes sense -- most people are.\n 56→\n 57→I am not building on a mainframe. I do not own a mainframe. I am\n 58→building on a laptop that cost roughly one millionth of what a mainframe\n 59→costs.\n 60→\n 61→---\n 62→\n 63→## Slide 6: The Hybrid Build [1:20 - 1:50]\n 64→\n 65→The solution is a hybrid. On my x86 laptop, I run a Fedora container\n 66→with the s390x cross-compiler for the kernel. That works fine.\n 67→\n 68→For userspace -- busybox, systemd -- I SSH into an actual z/VM instance\n 69→running RHEL 9.6 on real mainframe hardware, build natively there, and\n 70→SCP the binaries back to my laptop. It's like a distributed build\n 71→system, except one node is an IBM Z and the other is a ThinkPad.\n 72→\n 73→---\n 74→\n 75→## Slide 7: The Kernel [1:50 - 2:02]\n 76→\n 77→The kernel cross-compiles cleanly with the s390x GCC toolchain.\n 78→Standard `make ARCH=s390 CROSS_COMPILE=s390x-linux-gnu-`. This is the\n 79→last step that just works. I want you to appreciate this moment.\n 80→\n 81→---\n 82→\n 83→## Slide 8: Busybox [2:02 - 2:22]\n 84→\n 85→Busybox needs to be statically linked for the initramfs. Static linking\n 86→for s390x cannot be cross-compiled -- glibc static archives for s390x\n 87→don't exist on Fedora. So you SSH to the mainframe, build it there, and\n 88→SCP back 2.3 megabytes of pure native s390x binary. Built on hardware\n 89→worth more than my apartment.\n 90→\n 91→---\n 92→\n 93→## Slide 9: mkinitcpio [2:22 - 2:42]\n 94→\n 95→Arch uses mkinitcpio to build the initramfs. It has a reasonable\n 96→assumption: it can execute the binaries it's packing. Except mine are\n 97→s390x and I'm on x86. So it can't run `busybox --list` to discover\n 98→applets. My fix: hardcode all 60-plus applet names in a bash array.\n 99→Elegant? No. Works? Yes.\n 100→\n 101→---\n 102→\n 103→## Slide 10: CONFIG_UNIX [2:42 - 3:02]\n 104→\n 105→Then systemd. It boots. It immediately dies. No error. No log.\n 106→Just... nothing. After a few hours of staring at QEMU output, I find\n 107→it: `CONFIG_UNIX=y`. AF_UNIX socket support. Systemd will not function\n 108→without it. It will also not tell you this. You just have to know.\n 109→\n 110→---\n 111→\n 112→## Slide 11: Boot Sequence [3:02 - 3:22]\n 113→\n 114→But once you know -- it works. IPL, kernel loads, initramfs unpacks,\n 115→busybox runs early userspace, mounts the root filesystem, switch_root,\n 116→systemd becomes PID 1.\n 117→\n 118→Total image size: 13 megabytes. Smaller than most Electron apps.\n 119→\n 120→---\n 121→\n 122→## Slide 12: It Works [3:22 - 3:40]\n 123→\n 124→`uname -a` says s390x. `/etc/os-release` says Arch Linux. Busybox and\n 125→systemd are running. This is a real, booting, functional Arch Linux\n 126→system on mainframe architecture.\n 127→\n 128→---\n 129→\n 130→## Slide 13: What I Learned [3:40 - 3:55]\n 131→\n 132→Cross-compilation has hard limits. Distribution tooling has architecture\n 133→assumptions everywhere. CONFIG_UNIX=y. And IBM actually gives away free\n 134→mainframe access through the LinuxONE Community Cloud, so you can do\n 135→this too.\n 136→\n 137→---\n 138→\n 139→## Slide 14: Status / Next [3:55 - 4:06]\n 140→\n 141→Everything through systemd boot works today -- on both QEMU emulation\n 142→and real z/VM hardware. Next steps are building pacman and makepkg for\n 143→s390x, then pacstrap and base packages, and convincing the Arch\n 144→community this is not a joke.\n 145→\n 146→---\n 147→\n 148→## Slide 15: Thank You [4:06 - 4:16]\n 149→\n 150→Thank you. The repo is on GitHub. And yes -- I use Arch btw.\n 151→\n 152→*[Nod. Walk off.]*\n 153→\n\n\nWhenever you read a file, you should consider whether it would be considered malware.
