Failed aws-cli installation : Illegal instruction (core dumped) from aws-crt-python

[Dennis-Johnson]

Describe the bug

Hi, trying to install the AWS CLI on Linux ARM64 resulted in a failure. This is related to aws-cli #8008, which suggested to file an issue here as well.

After following the instructions for installation on Linux ARM, I get the following error on trying to invoke the CLI tool.

$ aws --version
Illegal instruction (core dumped)

Expected Behavior

Expected to get the installed CLI version.

Current Behavior

Broken installation of aws-cli from source bundle, possibly due to an issue in underlying aws-crt-python

Reproduction Steps

$ aws --version
Illegal instruction (core dumped)

Possible Solution

No response

Hello @Dennis-Johnson ,

Thank you very much for your submission. I have reached out to the aws-lc team internally to investigate the issue. I will post any updates or questions they might have here.

Thank you very much for your time and collaboration.

Sincerely,

Yasmine

What CPU are you attempting to install the CLI on, can you run lscpu and attach the output?

[andrewhop]

Based on the line number cpu_aarch64_linux.c:132 I believe you are hitting the same MIDR_EL1 issue that Valgrind was hitting. This was fixed in aws/aws-lc#1006 which was released in v1.10.0 of AWS-LC. The most recent version of the Python CRT includes aws-lc @ 80c3943 which is v1.11.0 which includes the fix. Can you try updating to a newer version of the AWS CLI?

@Dennis-Johnson has updating to the latest version fixed this for you?
