1 NOTES FOR THE HPE NONSTOP PLATFORM
2 ==============================
7 In addition to the requirements and instructions listed
8 in [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md), the following are required as well:
10 * The TNS/X platform supports hardware randomization.
11 Specify the `--with-rand-seed=rdcpu` option to the `./Configure` script.
12 This is recommended but not required. `egd` is supported at 3.0 but cannot
13 be used if FIPS is selected.
14 * The TNS/E platform does not support hardware randomization, so
15 specify the `--with-rand-seed=egd` option to the `./Configure` script.
20 The c99 compiler is required for building OpenSSL from source. While c11
21 may work, it has not been broadly tested. c99 is the only compiler
22 prerequisite needed to build OpenSSL 3.0 on this platform. You should also
23 have the FLOSS package installed on your system. The ITUGLIB FLOSS package
24 is the only FLOSS variant that has been broadly tested.
29 OpenSSL can be built using unthreaded, POSIX User Threads (PUT), or Standard
30 POSIX Threads (SPT). Select the following build configuration for each on
31 the TNS/X (L-Series) platform:
33 * `nonstop-nsx` or default will select an unthreaded build.
34 * `nonstop-nsx_put` selects the PUT build.
35 * `nonstop-nsx_64_put` selects the 64 bit file length PUT build.
36 * `nonstop-nsx_spt_floss` selects the SPT build with FLOSS. FLOSS is
37 required for SPT builds because of a known hang when using SPT on its own.
39 ### TNS/E Considerations
41 The TNS/E platform is build using the same set of builds specifying `nse`
42 instead of `nsx` in the set above.
44 You cannot build for TNS/E for FIPS, so you must specify the `no-fips`
45 option to `./Configure`.
47 Linking and Loading Considerations
48 ----------------------------------
50 Because of how the NonStop Common Runtime Environment (CRE) works, there are
51 restrictions on how programs can link and load with OpenSSL libraries.
52 On current NonStop platforms, programs cannot both statically link OpenSSL
53 libraries and dynamically load OpenSSL shared libraries concurrently. If this
54 is done, there is a high probability of encountering a SIGSEGV condition
55 relating to `atexit()` processing when a shared library is unloaded and when
56 the program terminates. This limitation applies to all OpenSSL shared library
59 It is possible to configure the build with `no-atexit` to avoid the SIGSEGV.
60 Preferably, you can explicitly call `OPENSSL_cleanup()` from your application.
61 It is not mandatory as it just deallocates various global data structures
64 About Prefix and OpenSSLDir
65 ---------------------------
67 Because there are many potential builds that must co-exist on any given
68 NonStop node, managing the location of your build distribution is crucial.
69 Keep each destination separate and distinct. Mixing any mode described in
70 this document can cause application instability. The recommended approach
71 is to specify the OpenSSL version and threading model in your configuration
72 options, and keeping your memory and float options consistent, for example:
74 * For 1.1 `--prefix=/usr/local-ssl1.1 --openssldir=/usr/local-ssl1.1/ssl`
75 * For 1.1 PUT `--prefix=/usr/local-ssl1.1_put --openssldir=/usr/local-ssl1.1_put/ssl`
77 As of 3.0, the NonStop configurations use the multilib attribute to distinguish
78 between different models:
80 * For 3.0 `--prefix=/usr/local-ssl3.0 --openssldir=/usr/local-ssl3.0/ssl`
82 The PUT model is placed in `${prefix}/lib-put` for 32-bit models and
83 `${prefix}/lib64-put` for 64-bit models.
85 Use the `_RLD_LIB_PATH` environment variable in OSS to select the appropriate
86 directory containing `libcrypto.so` and `libssl.so`. In GUARDIAN, use the
87 `=_RLD_LIB_PATH` search define to locate the GUARDIAN subvolume where OpenSSL
93 OpenSSL is built using IEEE Float mode by default. If you need a different
94 IEEE mode, create a new configuration specifying `tfloat-x86-64` (for Tandem
95 Float) or `nfloat-x86-64` (for Neutral Float).
100 The current OpenSSL default memory model uses the default platform address
101 model. If you need a different address model, you must specify the appropriate
102 c99 options for compile (`CFLAGS`) and linkers (`LDFLAGS`).
104 Cross Compiling on Windows
105 --------------------------
107 To configure and compile OpenSSL, you will need to set up a Cygwin environment.
108 The Cygwin tools should include bash, make, and any other normal tools required
109 for building programs.
111 Your `PATH` must include the bin directory for the c99 cross-compiler, as in:
113 export PATH=/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/HPE\ NonStop/L16.05/usr/bin:$PATH
115 This should be set before Configure is run. For the c99 cross-compiler to work
116 correctly, you also need the `COMP_ROOT` set, as in:
118 export COMP_ROOT="C:\Program Files (x86)\HPE NonStop\L16.05"
120 `COMP_ROOT` needs to be in Windows form.
122 `Configure` must specify the `no-makedepend` option otherwise errors will
123 result when running the build because the c99 cross-compiler does not support
124 the `gcc -MT` option. An example of a `Configure` command to be run from the
125 OpenSSL directory is:
127 ./Configure nonstop-nsx_64 no-makedepend --with-rand-seed=rdcpu
129 Do not forget to include any OpenSSL cross-compiling prefix and certificate
130 options when creating your libraries.
132 The OpenSSL test suite will not run on your workstation. In order to verify the
133 build, you will need to perform the build and test steps in OSS in your NonStop
134 server. You can also build under gcc and run the test suite for Windows but that
137 **Note:** In the event that you are attempting a FIPS-compliant cross-compile,
138 be aware that signatures may not match between builds done under OSS and under
139 cross-compiles as the compilers do not necessarily generate identical objects.
140 Anything and everything to do with FIPS is outside the scope of this document.
141 Refer to the FIPS security policy for more information.
143 The following build configurations have been successfully attempted at one
144 point or another. If you are successful in your cross-compile efforts, please
150 **Note:** Cross-compile builds for TNS/E have not been attempted, but should
151 follow the same considerations as for TNS/X above. SPT builds generally require
152 FLOSS, which is not available for workstation builds. As a result, SPT builds
153 of OpenSSL cannot be cross-compiled.
155 Also see the NSDEE discussion below for more historical information.
157 Cross Compiling with NSDEE
158 --------------------------
160 **Note:** None of these builds have been tested by the platform maintainer and
161 are supplied for historical value. Please submit a Pull Request to OpenSSL
162 should these need to be adjusted.
164 If you are attempting to build OpenSSL with NSDEE, you will need to specify
165 the following variables. The following set of compiler defines are required:
167 # COMP_ROOT must be a full path for the build system (e.g. windows)
168 COMP_ROOT=$(cygpath -w /path/to/comp_root)
169 # CC must be executable by your shell
172 ### Optional Build Variables
175 CIPHENABLES="enable-ssl3 enable-ssl3-method enable-weak-ssl-ciphers enable-rc4"
177 ### Internal Known TNS/X to TNS/E Cross Compile Variables
179 The following definition is required if you are building on TNS/X for TNS/E
180 and have access to a TNS/E machine on your EXPAND network - with an example
183 SYSTEMLIBS="-L/E/cs3/usr/local/lib"
185 Version Procedure (VPROC) Considerations
186 ----------------------------------------
188 If you require a VPROC entry for platform version identification, use the
193 OPENSSL_VPROC_PREFIX=T0085H06
197 OPENSSL_VPROC_PREFIX=T0085L01
199 ### Common Definition
201 export OPENSSL_VPROC=${OPENSSL_VPROC_PREFIX}_$(
203 if [ -n "$PRE_RELEASE_TAG" ]; then
204 PRE_RELEASE_TAG="-$PRE_RELEASE_TAG"
206 if [ -n "$BUILD_METADATA" ]; then
207 BUILD_METADATA="+$BUILD_METADATA"
209 echo "$MAJOR.$MINOR.$PATCH$PRE_RELEASE_TAG$BUILD_METADATA" |\
213 Example Configure Targets
214 -------------------------
216 For OSS targets, the main DLL names will be `libssl.so` and `libcrypto.so`.
217 For GUARDIAN targets, DLL names will be `ssl` and `crypto`. The following
218 assumes that your PWD is set according to your installation standards.
