It can build each individual commit and report -which boards fail on which commits, and which errors come up. It aims -to make full use of multi-processor machines. - -A key feature of buildman is its output summary, which allows warnings, -errors or image size increases in a particular commit or board to be -quickly identified and the offending commit pinpointed. This can be a big -help for anyone working with >10 patches at a time. - - -Caveats -======= - -Buildman is still in its infancy. It is already a very useful tool, but -expect to find problems and send patches. - -Buildman can be stopped and restarted, in which case it will continue -where it left off. This should happen cleanly and without side-effects. -If not, it is a bug, for which a patch would be welcome. - -Buildman gets so tied up in its work that it can ignore the outside world. -You may need to press Ctrl-C several times to quit it. Also it will print -out various exceptions when stopped. - - -Theory of Operation -=================== - -(please read this section in full twice or you will be perpetually confused) - -Buildman is a builder. It is not make, although it runs make. It does not -produce any useful output on the terminal while building, except for -progress information. All the output (errors, warnings and binaries if you -are ask for them) is stored in output directories, which you can look at -while the build is progressing, or when it is finished. - -Buildman produces a concise summary of which boards succeeded and failed. -It shows which commit introduced which board failure using a simple -red/green colour coding. Full error information can be requested, in which -case it is de-duped and displayed against the commit that introduced the -error. An example workflow is below. - -Buildman stores image size information and can report changes in image size -from commit to commit. An example of this is below. - -Buildman starts multiple threads, and each thread builds for one board at -a time. A thread starts at the first commit, configures the source for your -board and builds it. Then it checks out the next commit and does an -incremental build. Eventually the thread reaches the last commit and stops. -If errors or warnings are found along the way, the thread will reconfigure -after every commit, and your build will be very slow. This is because a -file that produces just a warning would not normally be rebuilt in an -incremental build. - -Buildman works in an entirely separate place from your U-Boot repository. -It creates a separate working directory for each thread, and puts the -output files in the working directory, organised by commit name and board -name, in a two-level hierarchy. - -Buildman is invoked in your U-Boot directory, the one with the .git -directory. It clones this repository into a copy for each thread, and the -threads do not affect the state of your git repository. Any checkouts done -by the thread affect only the working directory for that thread. - -Buildman automatically selects the correct toolchain for each board. You -must supply suitable toolchains, but buildman takes care of selecting the -right one. - -Buildman always builds a branch, and always builds the upstream commit as -well, for comparison. It cannot build individual commits at present, unless -(maybe) you point it at an empty branch. Put all your commits in a branch, -set the branch's upstream to a valid value, and all will be well. Otherwise -buildman will perform random actions. Use -n to check what the random -actions might be. - -Buildman is optimised for building many commits at once, for many boards. -On multi-core machines, Buildman is fast because it uses most of the -available CPU power. When it gets to the end, or if you are building just -a few commits or boards, it will be pretty slow. As a tip, if you don't -plan to use your machine for anything else, you can use -T to increase the -number of threads beyond the default. - -Buildman lets you build all boards, or a subset. Specify the subset by passing -command-line arguments that list the desired board name, architecture name, -SOC name, or anything else in the boards.cfg file. Multiple arguments are -allowed. Each argument will be interpreted as a regular expression, so -behaviour is a superset of exact or substring matching. Examples are: - -* 'tegra20' All boards with a Tegra20 SoC -* 'tegra' All boards with any Tegra Soc (Tegra20, Tegra30, Tegra114...) -* '^tegra[23]0$' All boards with either Tegra20 or Tegra30 SoC -* 'powerpc' All PowerPC boards - -Buildman does not store intermediate object files. It optionally copies -the binary output into a directory when a build is successful. Size -information is always recorded. It needs a fair bit of disk space to work, -typically 250MB per thread. - - -Setting up -========== - -1. Get the U-Boot source. You probably already have it, but if not these -steps should get you started with a repo and some commits for testing. - -$ cd /path/to/u-boot -$ git clone git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git . -$ git checkout -b my-branch origin/master -$ # Add some commits to the branch, reading for testing - -2. Create ~/.buildman to tell buildman where to find tool chains. As an -example: - -# Buildman settings file - -[toolchain] -root: / -rest: /toolchains/* -eldk: /opt/eldk-4.2 - -[toolchain-alias] -x86: i386 -blackfin: bfin -sh: sh4 -nds32: nds32le -openrisc: or32 - - -This selects the available toolchain paths. Add the base directory for -each of your toolchains here. Buildman will search inside these directories -and also in any '/usr' and '/usr/bin' subdirectories. - -Make sure the tags (here root: rest: and eldk:) are unique. - -The toolchain-alias section indicates that the i386 toolchain should be used -to build x86 commits. - - -2. Check the available toolchains - -Run this check to make sure that you have a toolchain for every architecture. - -$ ./tools/buildman/buildman --list-tool-chains -Scanning for tool chains - - scanning path '/' -

- -You can see that everything is covered, even some strange ones that won't -be used (c88 and c99).

But I would do this: - -Building 18 commits for 1059 boards (4 threads, 1 job per thread) -Build directory: ../lcd9b - 5bb3505 Merge branch 'master' of git://git.denx.de/u-boot-arm - c18f1b4 tegra: Use const for pinmux_config_pingroup/table() - 2f043ae tegra: Add display support to funcmux - e349900 tegra: fdt: Add pwm binding and node - 424a5f0 tegra: fdt: Add LCD definitions for Tegra - 0636ccf tegra: Add support for PWM - a994fe7 tegra: Add SOC support for display/lcd - fcd7350 tegra: Add LCD driver - 4d46e9d tegra: Add LCD support to Nvidia boards - 991bd48 arm: Add control over cachability of memory regions - 54e8019 lcd: Add CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT to select frame buffer alignment - d92aff7 lcd: Add support for flushing LCD fb from dcache after update - dbd0677 tegra: Align LCD frame buffer to section boundary - 0cff9b8 tegra: Support control of cache settings for LCD - 9c56900 tegra: fdt: Add LCD definitions for Seaboard - 5cc29db lcd: Add CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES option to speed console - cac5a23 tegra: Enable display/lcd support on Seaboard - 49ff541 wip - -Total boards to build for each commit: 1059 - -This shows that it will build all 1059 boards, using 4 threads (because -we have a 4-core CPU). Each thread will run with -j1, meaning that each -make job will use a single CPU. The list of commits to be built helps you -confirm that things look about right. Notice that buildman has chosen a -'base' directory for you, immediately above your source tree. - -Buildman works entirely inside the base directory, here ../lcd9b, -creating a working directory for each thread, and creating output -directories for each commit and board. - - -Suggested Workflow -================== - -To run the build for real, take off the -n: - -$ ./tools/buildman/buildman -b <branch> - -Buildman will set up some working directories, and get started. After a -minute or so it will settle down to a steady pace, with a display like this: - -Building 18 commits for 1059 boards (4 threads, 1 job per thread) - 528 36 124 /19062 1:13:30 : SIMPC8313_SP - -This means that it is building 19062 board/commit combinations. So far it -has managed to succesfully build 528. Another 36 have built with warnings, -and 124 more didn't build at all. Buildman expects to complete the process -in an hour and 15 minutes. Use this time to buy a faster computer. - - -To find out how the build went, ask for a summary with -s. You can do this -either before the build completes (presumably in another terminal) or or -afterwards. Let's work through an example of how this is used: - -$ ./tools/buildman/buildman -b lcd9b -s -... -01: Merge branch 'master' of git://git.denx.de/u-boot-arm - powerpc: + galaxy5200_LOWBOOT -02: tegra: Use const for pinmux_config_pingroup/table() -03: tegra: Add display support to funcmux -04: tegra: fdt: Add pwm binding and node -05: tegra: fdt: Add LCD definitions for Tegra -06: tegra: Add support for PWM -07: tegra: Add SOC support for display/lcd -08: tegra: Add LCD driver -09: tegra: Add LCD support to Nvidia boards -10: arm: Add control over cachability of memory regions -11: lcd: Add CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT to select frame buffer alignment -12: lcd: Add support for flushing LCD fb from dcache after update - arm: + lubbock -13: tegra: Align LCD frame buffer to section boundary -14: tegra: Support control of cache settings for LCD -15: tegra: fdt: Add LCD definitions for Seaboard -16: lcd: Add CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES option to speed console -17: tegra: Enable display/lcd support on Seaboard -18: wip - -This shows which commits have succeeded and which have failed. In this case -the build is still in progress so many boards are not built yet (use -u to -see which ones). But still we can see a few failures. The galaxy5200_LOWBOOT -never builds correctly. This could be a problem with our toolchain, or it -could be a bug in the upstream. The good news is that we probably don't need -to blame our commits. The bad news is it isn't tested on that board. - -Commit 12 broke lubbock. That's what the '+ lubbock' means. The failure -is never fixed by a later commit, or you would see lubbock again, in green, -without the +. - -To see the actual error: - -$ ./tools/buildman/buildman -b <branch> -se lubbock -... -12: lcd: Add support for flushing LCD fb from dcache after update - arm: + lubbock -+common/libcommon.o: In function `lcd_sync': -+/u-boot/lcd9b/.bm-work/00/common/lcd.c:120: undefined reference to `flush_dcache_range' -+arm-none-linux-gnueabi-ld: BFD (Sourcery G++ Lite 2010q1-202) 2.19.51.20090709 assertion fail /scratch/julian/2010q1-release-linux-lite/obj/binutils-src-2010q1-202-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu/bfd/elf32-arm.c:12572 -+make: *** [/u-boot/lcd9b/.bm-work/00/build/u-boot] Error 139 -13: tegra: Align LCD frame buffer to section boundary -14: tegra: Support control of cache settings for LCD -15: tegra: fdt: Add LCD definitions for Seaboard -16: lcd: Add CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES option to speed console --/u-boot/lcd9b/.bm-work/00/common/lcd.c:120: undefined reference to `flush_dcache_range' -+/u-boot/lcd9b/.bm-work/00/common/lcd.c:125: undefined reference to `flush_dcache_range' -17: tegra: Enable display/lcd support on Seaboard -18: wip - -So the problem is in lcd.c, due to missing cache operations. This information -should be enough to work out what that commit is doing to break these -boards. (In this case pxa did not have cache operations defined). - -If you see error lines marked with - that means that the errors were fixed -by that commit. Sometimes commits can be in the wrong order, so that a -breakage is introduced for a few commits and fixed by later commits. This -shows up clearly with buildman. You can then reorder the commits and try -again. - -At commit 16, the error moves - you can see that the old error at line 120 -is fixed, but there is a new one at line 126. This is probably only because -we added some code and moved the broken line futher down the file. - -If many boards have the same error, then -e will display the error only -once. This makes the output as concise as possible. - -The full build output in this case is available in: - -../lcd9b/12_of_18_gd92aff7_lcd--Add-support-for/lubbock/ - - done: Indicates the build was done, and holds the return code from make. - This is 0 for a good build, typically 2 for a failure. - - err: Output from stderr, if any. Errors and warnings appear here. - - log: Output from stdout. Normally there isn't any since buildman runs - in silent mode for now. - - toolchain: Shows information about the toolchain used for the build. - - sizes: Shows image size information. - -It is possible to get the build output there also. Use the -k option for -this. In that case you will also see some output files, like: - - System.map toolchain u-boot u-boot.bin u-boot.map autoconf.mk - (also SPL versions u-boot-spl and u-boot-spl.bin if available) - - -Checking Image Sizes -==================== - -A key requirement for U-Boot is that you keep code/data size to a minimum. -Where a new feature increases this noticeably it should normally be put -behind a CONFIG flag so that boards can leave it off and keep the image -size more or less the same with each new release. - -To check the impact of your commits on image size, use -S. For example: - -$ ./tools/buildman/buildman -b us-x86 -sS -Summary of 10 commits for 1066 boards (4 threads, 1 job per thread) -01: MAKEALL: add support for per architecture toolchains -02: x86: Add function to get top of usable ram - x86: (for 1/3 boards) text -272.0 rodata +41.0 -03: x86: Add basic cache operations -04: x86: Permit bootstage and timer data to be used prior to relocation - x86: (for 1/3 boards) data +16.0 -05: x86: Add an __end symbol to signal the end of the U-Boot binary - x86: (for 1/3 boards) text +76.0 -06: x86: Rearrange the output input to remove BSS - x86: (for 1/3 boards) bss -2140.0 -07: x86: Support relocation of FDT on start-up - x86: + coreboot-x86 -08: x86: Add error checking to x86 relocation code -09: x86: Adjust link device tree include file -10: x86: Enable CONFIG_OF_CONTROL on coreboot - - -You can see that image size only changed on x86, which is good because this -series is not supposed to change any other board. From commit 7 onwards the -build fails so we don't get code size numbers. The numbers are fractional -because they are an average of all boards for that architecture. The -intention is to allow you to quickly find image size problems introduced by -your commits. - -Note that the 'text' region and 'rodata' are split out. You should add the -two together to get the total read-only size (reported as the first column -in the output from binutil's 'size' utility). - -A useful option is --step which lets you skip some commits. For example ---step 2 will show the image sizes for only every 2nd commit (so it will -compare the image sizes of the 1st, 3rd, 5th... commits). You can also use ---step 0 which will compare only the first and last commits. This is useful -for an overview of how your entire series affects code size. - -You can also use -d to see a detailed size breakdown for each board. This -list is sorted in order from largest growth to largest reduction. - -It is possible to go a little further with the -B option (--bloat). This -shows where U-Boot has bloted, breaking the size change down to the function -level.

This increase was offset in both -cases by reductions in rodata and data/bss. - -Shown below the summary lines is the sizes for each board. Below each board -is the sizes for each function. This information starts with: - - add - number of functions added / removed - grow - number of functions which grew / shrunk - bytes - number of bytes of code added to / removed from all functions, - plus the total byte change in brackets - -The change seems to be that hash_command() has increased by more than the -do_mem_crc() function has decreased. The function sizes typically add up to -roughly the text area size, but note that every read-only section except -rodata is included in 'text', so the function total does not exactly -correspond. - -It is common when refactoring code for the rodata to decrease as the text size -increases, and vice versa. - - -Providing 'make' flags -====================== - -U-Boot's build system supports a few flags (such as BUILD_TAG) which affect -the build product. These flags can be specified in the buildman settings -file. They can also be useful when building U-Boot against other open source -software. - -[make-flags] -at91-boards=ENABLE_AT91_TEST=1 -snapper9260=${at91-boards} BUILD_TAG=442 -snapper9g45=${at91-boards} BUILD_TAG=443 - -This will use 'make ENABLE_AT91_TEST=1 BUILD_TAG=442' for snapper9260 -and 'make ENABLE_AT91_TEST=1 BUILD_TAG=443' for snapper9g45. A special -variable ${target} is available to access the target name (snapper9260 and -snapper9g20 in this case). Variables are resolved recursively. - -It is expected that any variables added are dealt with in U-Boot's -config.mk file and documented in the README. - - -Other options -============= - -Buildman has various other command line options. Try --help to see them. - - -TODO -==== - -This has mostly be written in my spare time as a response to my difficulties -in testing large series of patches. Apart from tidying up there is quite a -bit of scope for improvement. Things like better error diffs, easier access -to log files, error display while building. Also it would be nice it buildman -could 'hunt' for problems, perhaps by building a few boards for each arch, -or checking commits for changed files and building only boards which use -those files. - - -Credits -======= - -Thanks to Grant Grundler <grundler@chromium.org> for his ideas for improving -the build speed by building all commits for a board instead of the other -way around. - - -Simon Glass -sjg@chromium.org -Halloween 2012 -Updated 12-12-12 -Updated 23-02-13 |
