*We have not built M3 yet as some work still remains for us to be feature complete and ready for QA. This puts us behind schedule but the plan is to complete the key features we’ve planned rather than adhere strictly to dates. We hope to make up time during M4 by having M3 at high quality and take advantage of our automation.
*We have not built M3 yet as there are still three issues that need to be resolved:
*RP is away for the rest of the week which means M3 progress will be limited this week, Ross will queue patches.
**strace ptest regressions with 5.1/5.2 kernels
*Key 3.0 changes have now merged:
**systemd timeouts on mips
**5.2 linux-libc-kernel-headers
**hashequiv server rewrite
**5.2 kernel recipes by default for all reference BSPs
*The strace regressions will be discussed with the kernel community, the best workaround may be to lower the individual test timeouts so one the affected individual tests fail rather than all tests timing out.
**Removal of LSB and poky-lsb and replacement with alt config testing
*The qemumips issue with systemd is puzzling as its happening in hwdb and hwdb should be generated in advance anyway. Investigation is ongoing about why its being regenerated, a workaround is to increase the timeout as mips is just slow (it does complete eventually, its just marginal).
**systemd by default for poky-altcfg
*The hashequiv server changes are being tested in master-next
**Patches have significantly reduced the dependency on python2
It is planned to build M3 this week with the workarounds mentioned above worst case. Its expected there would be further hashequiv fixing during M4.
**Reproducible builds are now being tested for core-image-minimal
*We hope to make up time during M4 by having M3 at high quality and take advantage of our automation.
**Automated toolchain testsuite tests (binutils, gcc, glibc)
*Key blocking issues for M3 that have been fixed:
**Systemtap issues with 5.2 were debugged and patches sent/merged upstream
**5.2 dmesg on qemuarm64 fixed
**qemumips hang when using highmem root caused and worked around (for now)
**mdadm ptest timeout worked around
**quilt and libevent ptest regressions from M2 resolved
*Remaining issues blocking M3:
**systemd boot failure on qemumips
**strace ptest timeout
**Hash equivalence performance problems (RP has a simple idea to ~double speed)
**Hash equivalence bugs
**Toolchain testsuite relocation bugs (Nathan working on it)
*Hash Equivalency status:
**Ideas about removing some dependency information from the hashes to allow faster bulk queries aren’t viable so the current codebase approach is correct
**we need to rework the client/server communication to scale to the autobuilder
**there are some bugs in the code the autobuilder continues to expose
**we have cases where its not 100% clear what the correct behaviour should be
**test cases are proving to be problematic to write in a maintainable way
*Documentation - Due to illness Scott is unavailable for the next month or two so doc patches will be handled by Richard or Ross in the short term. We’ll likely limit them to correctness issues and defer any substantial new text. If anyone has availability and skills to work on the manuals please talk to us. We’re aware there is a patch backlog.

Next Team Meetings:

Key Status/Updates:

  • We’re now in feature freeze for 3.0 and working on bug fixing for final release
  • We have not built M3 yet as there are still three issues that need to be resolved:
    • strace ptest regressions with 5.1/5.2 kernels
    • systemd timeouts on mips
    • hashequiv server rewrite
  • The strace regressions will be discussed with the kernel community, the best workaround may be to lower the individual test timeouts so one the affected individual tests fail rather than all tests timing out.
  • The qemumips issue with systemd is puzzling as its happening in hwdb and hwdb should be generated in advance anyway. Investigation is ongoing about why its being regenerated, a workaround is to increase the timeout as mips is just slow (it does complete eventually, its just marginal).
  • The hashequiv server changes are being tested in master-next

It is planned to build M3 this week with the workarounds mentioned above worst case. Its expected there would be further hashequiv fixing during M4.

  • We hope to make up time during M4 by having M3 at high quality and take advantage of our automation.
  • Documentation - Due to illness Scott is unavailable for the next month or two so doc patches will be handled by Richard or Ross in the short term. We’ll likely limit them to correctness issues and defer any substantial new text. If anyone has availability and skills to work on the manuals please talk to us. We’re aware there is a patch backlog.
  • If anyone has any status items for the project they’d like to add to the weekly reports, please email Richard+Stephen.
