Build Ampere CentOS Kernel
Build Linux kernel 5.x on CentOS 7
This article’s procedure was tested in Ampere Altra CPU platform, but suppose that x86 system also can use this procedure.
CentOS 7’s gcc is too old to compile Linux kernel 5.x, and it can use another package named “software collections(SCL)” to install newer gcc to build Linux kernel.

htop more column for mass CPUs
htop can support multiple columns in one screen, just press F2 enter setup mode, and change left column and right column to CPUs (1-4/8) [Bar] and CPUs (5-8/8) [Bar]


htoprc , put it on /etc/htoprc or ~/.config/htop/htoprc
# Beware! This file is rewritten by htop when settings are changed in the interface.
# The parser is also very primitive, and not human-friendly.

CentOS8 ARM64/AARCH64 Install Docker
It’s not complex to install docker on ARM64 platform and make it work, but it needs a trick
Read more »ARM64 mfpu=neon-fp-armv8 and unrecognized command line option
又學到一個小知識
原因是因為 -mfpu=neon-fp-armv8 是 arm32 compiler option ARM64 使用 Linux ABI 那邊就規範要支援 Floatpoint 和 ASIMD(也就是 neon 的 64bit 版 )
不要用 -mfpu 指令就可以了

QEMU Network Problem When Run With Docker
如果 Docker 和 QEMU 同時執行時,QEMU 內部透過 tap interface bridge 到 host network 的網路會出不去
這個問題的原因是 Docker 起來之後,會將 iptables 的 packet forward 預設變成 DROP
這時可以在 Docker 起來的時候將 bridge interface 加到 iptables 規則內即可,首先編輯 systemd docker service
QEMU Run x86_64/AMD64 VM on ARM64/AARCH64
This is a work note for run x86_64/AM64 on ARM64/AARCH64 server .
Because they are different archeticture, so, run x86_64 on ARM server would be very slow.
and some functions might be different when run on different platform
