Yeah, I'm currently using

PARALLEL_MAKE = "-j ${@int(oe.utils.cpu_count() / 4)}"

In a .bbappend to limit it, but keep it dynamic.

One question out of curiosity or lack of understanding:
Bitbake offers BB_NUMBER_THREADS to limit (IMHO) the number of bitbake tasks, eg parallel do_compile() tasks. Each of these however spawn the compiler with several parallel threads oe.utils.cpu_count (PARALLEL_MAKE defaults to cpu_count()). Why isn't it more common that we end up in issues due to cpu_count^2 threads being spawned? Shouldn't (roughly) BB_NUMBER_THREADS * PARALLEL_MAKE fully load the CPU?

Best regards, a curious Olli

Anything written in C++ tends to consume 1-2 Gb of ram per compiler process. If that lands you in OOM, you probably should limit that with PARALLEL_MAKE:pn-nodejs, but otherwise that is the sad reality of C++ builds.
I expected something like this. Thanks for the confirmation and I will try to play with PARALLEL_MAKE to reduce the impact.

Yocto Project Newcomer & Unassigned Bugs - Help Needed

Stephen Jolley
 

All,

 

The triage team is starting to try and collect up and classify bugs which a newcomer to the project would be able to work on in a way which means people can find them. They're being listed on the triage page under the appropriate heading:

https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Newcomer_Bugs  Also please review: https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded and how to create a bugzilla account at: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/createaccount.cgi

The idea is these bugs should be straight forward for a person to help work on who doesn't have deep experience with the project.  If anyone can help, please take ownership of the bug and send patches!  If anyone needs help/advice there are people on irc who can likely do so, or some of the more experienced contributors will likely be happy to help too.

 

Also, the triage team meets weekly and does its best to handle the bugs reported into the Bugzilla. The number of people attending that meeting has fallen, as have the number of people available to help fix bugs. One of the things we hear users report is they don't know how to help. We (the triage team) are therefore going to start reporting out the currently 408 unassigned or newcomer bugs.

 

We're hoping people may be able to spare some time now and again to help out with these.  Bugs are split into two types, "true bugs" where things don't work as they should and "enhancements" which are features we'd want to add to the system.  There are also roughly four different "priority" classes right now,  “4.1”, “4.2”, “4.3”, "4.99" and "Future", the more pressing/urgent issues being in "4.1" and then “4.2”.

 

Please review this link and if a bug is something you would be able to help with either take ownership of the bug, or send me (sjolley.yp.pm@...) an e-mail with the bug number you would like and I will assign it to you (please make sure you have a Bugzilla account).  The list is at: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage_Archive#Unassigned_or_Newcomer_Bugs

 

Thanks,

Re: nodejs do_compile eats all resources

Khem Raj
 

On 9/26/22 10:20 AM, Oliver Westermann via lists.yoctoproject.org wrote:
Hey,
We recently added nodejs to our images and noticed that it's do compile process is a real memory hog. Since we planned to update the recipe anyway we didn't pay much attention, but today we updated the recipe to the current version from openembedded-core (16.14.2). Still I see that it consumes nearly all resources it can get, way more than any other package in our build process (and crashing some VMs even).
On my build machine (dual Epyc, 256GB of RAM) it manages to produce nearly 100% CPU load AND eats ~90GB of RAM. Some other machines fail the build due to OOM issues.
how many cores do you have on the dual Epyc sockets. for Mmeory., usually 4GB/per-core is a safe mark for worst case scenario. nodejs build does run some target binaries using qemu-usermode eg. mksnapshot
during build, which in a threaded mode will put more pressure on memory.

I only observed this on the nodejs build, is there a good approach to debug this (or even a known issue)?
Best regards, Olli


[meta-zephyr] new qemu version breaking qemu-cortex-a53

Jon Mason
 

The recently updated version of qemu (v7.1) is causing qemu-cortex-a53
tests to fail. See
https://gitlab.com/jonmason00/meta-zephyr/-/jobs/3082086509

I was able to bisect the issue to that commit. I'm not certain of the
cause beyond that, but other issues are being seen with the new qemu
and meta-arm. Let me know if you want me to open a bug.

Thanks,
Jon

It was tested with zephyr-openthread-rcp
along Oniro's IoT gateway blueprint

For the record deployment was done manually:

- Click on device button
- uf2conv.py "zephyr.hex" -c -f 0xADA52840
- and then copy to mounted "/dev/disk/by-label/MDK-DONGLE"

Support of unfree flashing tools might be added later (once double verified)

This needs a Gitlab CI entry to test. I did a quick one and ran CI on
it here:
https://gitlab.com/jonmason00/meta-zephyr/-/pipelines/651094923

I'll email the patch to add CI shortly.

Considering you're using SRC_URI unconditionally, I suggest you use:
.
├── swupdate
│   ├── 09-swupdate-args
│   ├── defconfig
│   ├── sw-description
│   └── swupdate.cfg
└── swupdate_%.bbappend

I'm pretty sure you're not appending to the correct recipe, swupdate
recipe is the SWUpdate recipe for building the SWUpdate update mechanism
SW, it's not for building an image that is making use of SWUpdate mechanism.

I think you want to append to swupdate-image recipe or create your own
inheriting swupdate-image?

Or probably both actually, one for adding your configuration files to
the SWUpdate SW and the
IMAGE_DEPENDS/SWUPDATE_IMAGES/SWUIPDATE_IMAGE_FSTYPES to the image recipe.

In any case, you're missing:
FILESEXTRAPATHS:prepend := "${THISDIR}/${PN}:"
in your bbappend for adding files. c.f.

Re: nodejs do_compile eats all resources

Alexander Kanavin
 

Anything written in C++ tends to consume 1-2 Gb of ram per compiler
process. If that lands you in OOM, you probably should limit that with
PARALLEL_MAKE:pn-nodejs, but otherwise that is the sad reality of C++
builds.

On my build machine (dual Epyc, 256GB of RAM) it manages to produce nearly 100% CPU load AND eats ~90GB of RAM. Some other machines fail the build due to OOM issues.

I only observed this on the nodejs build, is there a good approach to debug this (or even a known issue)?

Setting up layers in Yocto, the introduction

Alexander Kanavin
 

TL;DR version
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

If you want to get everything needed to run a yocto build:

- clone the bootstrap repository (ask your distribution maintainer where =
it is):
$ git clone bootstrap_repo_uri

- run 'setup-layers' from that repo:
$ /path/to/bootstrap_repo/setup-layers

If you want to save the layers setup for replication elsewhere:

- save the config file and the replication script into a 'bootstrap repos=
itory')
(this can be an organization-specific yocto layer, or a standalone reposi=
tory):
$ bitbake-layers create-layers-setup /path/to/bootstrap_repo

- document where the bootstrap repository can be found for your users

What is this layer setup tooling? (the long version)
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D

Once you have a working build with the correct set of layers, it is benef=
icial
to capture the layer setup --- what they are, which repositories they com=
e from
and which SCM revisions they're at --- into a configuration file, so that=
this
setup can be easily replicated later, perhaps on a different machine. Her=
e's
how to do this::

$ bitbake-layers create-layers-setup /srv/work/alex/meta-alex/
NOTE: Starting bitbake server...
NOTE: Created /srv/work/alex/meta-alex/setup-layers.json
NOTE: Created /srv/work/alex/meta-alex/setup-layers

The tool needs a single argument which tells where to place the output, c=
onsisting
of a json formatted layer configuration, and a ``setup-layers`` script th=
at can use that configuration
to restore the layers in a different location, or on a different host mac=
hine. The argument
can point to a custom layer (which is then deemed a "bootstrap" layer tha=
t needs to be
checked out first), or into a completely independent location.

The replication of the layers is performed by running the ``setup-layers`=
` script provided
above:

1. Clone the bootstrap layer or some other repository to obtain
the json config and the setup script that can use it.

2. Run the script directly with no options::

alex@Zen2:/srv/work/alex/my-build$ meta-alex/setup-layers
Note: not checking out source meta-alex, use --force-bootstraplayer=
-checkout to override.

.. note::

This will work to update an existing checkout as well.

.. note::
The script is self-sufficient and requires only python3
and git on the build machine.

.. note::
Both the ``create-layers-setup`` and the ``setup-layers`` provided sev=
eral additional options
that customize their behavior - you are welcome to study them via ``--=
help`` command line parameter.

Questions and answers
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

1. Why JSON, and not YAML?

JSON is a part of the python standard library, while YAML is not. This me=
ans you can bootstrap a build on just about any
machine that has python and its core library, without first having to ins=
tall any dependencies. JSON not quite as easy
on the eye, but with decent indentation it's totally ok.

Before anyone asks, XML is appallingly difficult to read by modern standa=
rds of readability. No thanks.

2. I don't want the script in the bootstrap repo, just the config. I will=
provide my own tools. How?

Use --json-only to generate only the config, and not the script:

$ bitbake-layers create-layers-setup -json-only /srv/work/alex/meta-a=
lex/

3. I want to generate the compatible json with my own tools. Is there a s=
chema to validate it?

There is:
https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky/tree/meta/files/layers.schema.json

You can use python3-jsonschema package to check the validity.

4. I don't want the json or the script, and would want to use an entirely=
different format and tools. Is
'create-layers-setup' hardcoded to the OE json format?

Actually not! Other formats can be added through a plugin mechanism. OE j=
son writer is just
the default plugin but others can be implemented and selected:

--writer {oe-setup-layers}, -w {oe-setup-layers}
Choose the output format (defaults to oe-setup-la=
yers).

5. I want to use something else than hardcoded revisions in the json (e.g=
. refer to branch
names or tags).

No problem! Edit the json to say 'main' or 'release-x.y'. Anything that '=
git checkout' can take will
work. Just be careful that these modification are not overwritten later b=
y 'create-layers-setup' by
e.g. renaming the json file first.

6. I already have an existing checkout and want to update it to the lates=
t greatest. How?

First, update the bootstrap repository to the latest (or otherwise desire=
d) revision to
obtain the latest versions of the script, and the json config. Ask the di=
stro maintainers
for the recommended practice to do so.

Then, run the script again - it should be able to handle a layers checkou=
t that already
exists, and update everything accoriding to the latest json, obtained in =
the first step.

7. Ok, I have checked out all the layers. Now what?

The next step is to actually set up a yocto build from an existing config=
uration template,
and start a bitbake session. This is made separate from handling the laye=
r repositories and
will be described separately.


Re: meta-spdxscanner

Martin Leduc <martin.leduc@...>
 

Hi Lei,

 

Yes, the issue is fixed by doing the actions defined into https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69858963/how-can-one-fully-replace-distutils-which-is-deprecated-in-3-10 :

 

Replace

from distutils.core import setup

with

from setuptools import setup

 

into ../tmp/work/x86_64-linux/python3-patch-native/1.16-r0/patch-1.16/setup.py

 

The output is not really useful at the moment because it crash after hours of computing for the kernel and some other packages.

 

Actually, I’ve made a workaround to my problems by making a PHP script parsing the Yocto SPDX output but it’s not enough.

INHERIT += "create-spdx"

 

My idea is: I do not use the scancode-tk as expected.

 

I’ve also built one Fossology server but it run hours and hours and hours without finishing the produce the report and the reports are not, for my needs, complete.

 

If you have any input else than it’s defined in the README, it will be really interesting.

 

Thank you for your help.

Hi,

 

Im sorry for late reply.

 

Is this issue resolved? If not, can you tell me which class you are using? I cant get enough information from your log.

It will be better if you supply the setting about enable meta-spdxscanner in local.conf.

I thought the agreement was to stop promoting meta-gplv2?
Still I find it listed here - it somehow implies that this is still
officially support, which everyone agreed it isn't

Can this be removed from the announcement template for the next
releases? - just to avoid any future misunderstandings
Someone needs to do the work involved and I guess that hasn't happened.
It isn't entirely simple as this does still exist in the other
releases.
Could you open a bug please so we don't forget this.
