Description Mark Linimon freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-08-29 12:00:45 UTC
The src tree is in the process of splitting the 32-bit arm bits into the existing 'armv6' and the new 'armv7'.  I am developing a patch to the entire tree to allow this.

The approach is to duplicate any special-case code for armv6 to armv7.  In most cases this will be, for example, NOT_FOR_ARCHS gaining an armv7 entry.  These will probably not need too much testing.

Other changes are more invasive.  In addition to the overall total patch I will soon attach to this PR, I will open separate PRs for various pieces of it for those types of changes, or changes that affect ports with many dependencies (devel/llvm*, lang/gcc*, lang/perl5*), and reference them here.

My suggestion is to have at least 2 exp-runs:

 - the first, on amd64, to prove "first, do no harm".  I am running tests here
   which I want to have pass before submitting the entire patch.

 - the second, with qemu and arch set to 'armv7'.  I expect this run will be
   at _least_ as good as the armv6 one; there may be certain ports which will
   actually build on armv7 and not on armv6.  Nevertheless, we have to check for
   regressions.

 - another would be with qemu/armv6, again, to prove no regressions.

We don't do exp-runs on qemu.

IIUC you will be doing production runs on armv7 soon enough.  IMHO an -exp run would be a good way to get a running start.
Comment 3 Mark Linimon freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-08-29 12:34:19 UTC
At some point a TRYBROKEN armv7 run should also be done.  The patches "assume" that anything broken on armv6 is also going to be broken on armv7.  As a first approximation that's probably true.  (It is also easier to remove a few uneccesary lines that try to add hundreds piecemeal.)

We can remove the following comment in lang/go14, it was a qemu bug and it's fixed:
# NB: apparently this failure is only when running under emulation via
# qemu; it works fine on native hardware.  Let's leave the line in as a
# reminder, but commented out for now while this is being investigated.
#BROKEN_armv6=          Fails to configure: wait: interrupted system call
Comment 7 Mark Linimon freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-08-30 20:23:00 UTC
Patch is currently being tested via

  poudriere +
  patched qemu script +
  https://reviews.freebsd.org/D12010 + 
  https://reviews.freebsd.org/D12027

which I expect to blow up any moment now.
Comment 8 Mark Linimon freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-08-30 20:25:07 UTC
fwiw, the ports from 221895-221922 have now correctly built on amd64.  I have not tested the resulting packages for correctness, however; nor have I tested all the trivial ones not included in those patches.

I get the same buildworld failure on arm.armv6 and arm.armv7.  So I can't regression-test the patches on armvN for now.  Suggestions would be appreciated.

This is what I've done to build a poudriere jail for armv7:

cd /usr/src
svn up
svn patch /root/D12010.diff


poudriere jails -c -j 12armv7 -v head -a arm.armv7 -m svn+http -x -P /root/D12010.diff

Author: linimon
Date: Tue Oct 10 21:31:35 UTC 2017
New revision: 451721
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/451721

Log:
  For ports that are explicitly enabled on armv6, also enable them
  on armv7.  This has not been tested with an -exp run but should
  "do no harm".

Comment 15 Michal Meloun freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-10-12 05:52:39 UTC
It seems that some of patches is missing in commit.
Mainly:
multimedia/ffmpeg
lang/ruby*
math/cln
net/freerdp

Can you, please, also commit these patches?
Thanks

(In reply to Michal Meloun from comment #15)

This is the first of what will be a series of commits.  They were the easiest ones that did not take big risks with important packages.

I have been traveling for several weeks; I think the others will have to wait until I get back home.
Comment 17 Mark Linimon freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-11-30 08:36:03 UTC
A greatly updated version of this patch has been committed.
