riscv64: request for official binaries and basic CI

Author: LuckyMagician99Created Aug 11, 2025Updated Jun 22, 2026

Hi maintainers, thanks for tini!

We’d like to kindly propose official riscv64 support. Below are our build results and a small, reproducible PID-namespace test showing tini -s reaps zombies as PID1 on riscv64. We’re happy to help with CI/PRs if this is in scope.

Environment

- Distro: openEuler 24.03 LTS (riscv64)
- Kernel: Linux localhost.localdomain 6.6.0-27.0.0.31.oe2403.riscv64 #1 SMP Fri May 24 21:52:58 CST 2024 riscv64 riscv64 GNU/Linux
- (Optional) Docker 28.3.2, containerd 1.6.22, runc 1.1.8

Build

  • cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. && make -j$(nproc)
  • file tini: ./tini: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, UCB RISC-V, RVC, double-float ABI, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux-riscv64-lp64d.so.1, BuildID[sha1]=6aeeb791162331ff889766540994a2201ae9074b, for GNU/Linux 4.15.0, stripped
  • sha256sum tini: 2b608d0928fecbbe7ad9d88b4342437c767af9c329b434a79aafa0469b5e34a4 tini
  • Full log attached: build-2025-08-11.log
  • Repro tarball attached: tini-riscv64-369448a-2025-08-11.tar.gz

PID1 behavior (PID namespace, no container runtime required)

We used unshare -fp --mount-proc and a small program that orphans many short-lived children to PID1.

  • PID1 = custom no-wait program (doesn’t wait()) — zombies accumulate under PPID 1:

  • PID1 = tini -s — zombies reaped promptly:

(Full outputs attached as pid1_nowait.txt and pid1_tini.txt)

Request (happy to adjust if preferred)

  • Provide official riscv64 release artifacts for tini
  • Add a minimal riscv64 CI job (QEMU-based compile is fine to start)

We can help

  • Run tests on riscv64 and share logs
  • Open a PR adding a basic CI workflow
