Victor Kamensky (kamensky) April 5, 2018, 6:25 p.m. UTC
New crosstap python implementation is total replacement for
crosstap shell script, that has superseding capabilities.
New script support cross compiling of SystemTap scripts
for user-land, by using supplied image rootfs. Whereas old
script could only deal with scripts against kernel. New script
has more complex logic and additional capabilities.

As invocation interface new script support old "legacy"
mode and provides alternative new regular options interface
to access additional functionality.

You can't assume that B exists and is useful, as if virtual/kernel was
installed from sstate then all the installed pieces will be present
but $B will be empty.

For example, I re-ran oe-selftest on the autobuilder, the kernel was
extracted from sstate as the previous run built it, and the test
failed:

2018-05-13 22:36:08,905 - oe-selftest - INFO - FAIL:

Ross, thank you for pointing to this. I will look at it.

Please note use of B of kernel/virtual by crosstap preceeded my
commit:

c6da6b64 (Tom Zanussi 2012-08-31 00:06:57 -0500 109) 
TARGET_KERNEL_BUILDDIR=$(echo "$BITBAKE_VARS" | grep ^B= \
c6da6b64 (Tom Zanussi 2012-08-31 00:06:57 -0500 110)   | cut -d '=' -f2 | 
cut -d '"' -f2)

I just followed the same logic.

Systemtap translator generates kernel module source and it needs
cross compiled environment to build it against proper kernel sources
build artifacts. I.e cross compilation of kernel module should
be supported when kernel is extracted from sstate.

So my thought was to figure out how to cross compile kernel module
against kernel/virtual sstate, I can take a look how recipe that
'inherit module' works in such case. So I've tried the following in
tree pulled today (cryptodev-module is recipe example that
does 'inherit module'):

Variant1:

bitbake cryptodev-module
bitbake -c clean linux-yocto
bitbake -c cleansstate cryptodev-module
bitbake cryptodev-module

Variant2:

bitbake cryptodev-module
mv tmp-glibc tmp-glibc.bak
bitbake linux-yocto
bitbake cryptodev-module

In both cases I see that full kernel rebuild (pull source, compile,
etc) is retriggered by building cryptodev-module, even if
linux-yocto initially is pulled from sstate. In Variant1
cryptodev-module build actually failed because some host utilities
from kernel tree (like scripts/basic/fixdep) were not rebuilt.

I don't think it is proper for crosstap utility to retrigger
full kernel/virtual build. So unless kernel module build against
kernel/virtual sstate without full rebuild of kernel/virtual is
solved I am not sure what I can do in crosstap script.

Currently I see that work-shared/$MACHINE/kernel-source and
work-shared/$MACHINE/kernel-build-artifacts are created and it
seems their purpose is to facilitate external kernel modules
build, and maybe need to full kernel rebuild will be fixed soon.

Do I miss something? Any advise how to address this problem
is appreciated.

Thanks,
Victor

I recall some work that we did on this 2 (or was it 3) year ago
now .. but can't dig up the thread references. The choices were
to have the helper utilities in sstate or trigger their rebuild
from the shared source + build artifacts. Obviously the outcome
of that work was not a complete solution.

Correct. The build artifacts are enough to build external
modules, but not a full kernel rebuild, that is what the kernel-devsrc
does. But even those full kernel rebuilds do required the scripts/helper
utilities to be rebuilt.

The recipes that inherit modules really should be triggering the
rebuild of those helper scripts if they don't exist, so if that
isn't working, or not enough of the kernel build infrastructure is
in the build-artifacts directory .. that is an area to look into
more.
