From console output, it looks that machine/ is read before or very closed of the time it is created:

Comment 2 Mark Millard 2018-12-11 21:12:01 UTC
There was a list exchange tied to this back on 2018-Aug-31: Re: svn commit: r338404 - head/sys/conf . Ed Maste and Glen Baber were involved.

Note: -r338404 or anything near it was not likely to be the cause of the problem.

I reported then that:

https://ci.freebsd.org/job/FreeBSD-head-powerpc-build/7454/consoleText

showed the problem for -r339319 but the the prior and later builds
of -r339318 and -r338320 for powerpc did not show the problem. -r339319
was unlikely to be involved in the problem based on its content.

But I vaguely remember seeing this on a rare occasion for a much longer
time. (But I've no specific, public evidence to reference.)
Comment 7 Li-Wen Hsu freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-06-04 12:43:30 UTC
Close this for now since this has not happened for more than a year.
Comment 8 Mark Millard 2021-04-30 02:35:55 UTC
(In reply to Li-Wen Hsu from comment #7)

I just got this on release/13.0.0 on arm64 cross building
to target armv7, where buildworld worked fine but buildkernel
then got the problem. (I'll note that I've had other successful
buildworld buildkernel makes in recent days.) I was building
release/13.0.0 from release/13.0.0 (again).

However, I was able to repeat the failure by manually repeating
just the cc command that the .o.meta file reported (from the
directory it also reported). This eliminates any potential for
a race. Yet, before and after doing the cc show the file and
links and such as in place and working and having existed for
some time:

My build activity here is from experimenting with using zfs
for the first time in many years. So that aspect is unlike
my prior examples of this failure. But it also explains why
I'd rebuild what I'd already built previously.
Comment 9 Mark Millard 2021-04-30 02:45:55 UTC
(In reply to Mark Millard from comment #8)

Fixing some poor wording on my part:

"This eliminates any potential for a race."

I meant: ". . . with other processes in the build".

I was not trying to claim a wider context then
that.
Comment 10 Mark Millard 2021-04-30 03:28:41 UTC
(In reply to Mark Millard from comment #9)

Some experiments with a command adjusted to be tolerable
to gcc10 (just to find the include handling behavior) and
using -v that shows the include paths shows:

#include "..." search starts here:
#include <...> search starts here:
 .
 /usr/13_0R-src/sys
 /usr/13_0R-src/sys/contrib/ck/include
 /usr/13_0R-src/sys/contrib/libfdt
 /usr/13_0R-src/sys/contrib/device-tree/include

and gets:

In file included from /usr/13_0R-src/sys/sys/param.h:99,
                 from /usr/13_0R-src/sys/kern/genoffset.c:35:

   46 | #include <machine/endian.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

Given the search path listed, the failure makes sense.

It appears that:

--sysroot=/usr/obj/BUILDs/13_0R-CA7-nodbg-clang/usr/13_0R-src/arm.armv7/tmp

is not ending up contributing to the path list. Same
when I added a -isysroot for the path.

Notably I have:

. . .

and paths with a /usr/13_0R-src prefix are showing up.
(But that does not involve two levels of zfs file systems,
however.)

It does appear that both system-clang and gcc10 are ending
up with similar behavior for the sysroot include file
handling during this failure. (I've not rebooted yet.)
So either I've got an operator-error problem that I've not
noticed or the problem is not specific to system-clang.

(I used gcc10 because I'm not aware of a way to have
clang report its include search path sequence, just
its library search path sequence.)

[Back to system-clang.]

clang may not report its search path sequence but
truss reports the following involving "machine":

52747: fstatat(AT_FDCWD,"./machine",0xffffffff9190,0x0) ERR#2 'No such file or directory'

52747: fstatat(AT_FDCWD,"/usr/13_0R-src/sys/sys/machine",0xffffffff9ab0,0x0) ERR#2 'No such file or directory'

It is not even trying the sysroot as a path prefix for
the include involving "machine".

The usage involving "BUILDs" was:

# grep BUILDs truss.txt
52747: fstatat(AT_FDCWD,"/usr/obj/BUILDs/13_0R-CA7-nodbg-clang/usr/13_0R-src/arm.armv7/tmp/usr/local/cuda",0xffffffffc430,0x0) ERR#2 'No such file or directory'

52747: __realpathat(AT_FDCWD,"./opt_global.h","/usr/obj/BUILDs/13_0R-CA7-nodbg-clang/usr/13_0R-src/arm.armv7/sys/GENERIC-NODBG-CA7/opt_global.h",1024,0) = 0 (0x0)

There is no evidence of any attempted use of sysroot has
a general include path prefix.

A "cc -###" with the other parameters as in the .o.meta
does report:

"-isysroot" "/usr/obj/BUILDs/13_0R-CA7-nodbg-clang/usr/13_0R-src/arm.armv7/tmp"

So the following would seem to apply if otherwise
/usr/include/ usage would be expected:

# ls -PTldU /usr/obj/BUILDs/13_0R-CA7-nodbg-clang/usr/13_0R-src/arm.armv7/tmp/usr/include/machine/endian.h
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  33 Apr 29 12:38:12 2021 /usr/obj/BUILDs/13_0R-CA7-nodbg-clang/usr/13_0R-src/arm.armv7/tmp/usr/include/machine/endian.h -> ../../../sys/arm/include/endian.h

But I see no evidence that -isysroot ( or any /usr/include )
is being put to use.
Comment 12 Mark Millard 2021-04-30 04:51:21 UTC
(In reply to Mark Millard from comment #11)

Well, I replicated the issue for my "CA72" builds
(instead of the prior "CA7" ones): targeting
cortex-a72 (aarch64). But I experimented in a
different direction after that:

rm -fr /usr/obj/BUILDs/13_0R-CA72-nodbg-clang/usr/13_0R-src/arm64.aarch64/sys/GENERIC-NODBG-CA72

then attempting the buildkernel. That is building
fine. Somehow the older build's content is involved
in the new builds include file handling failure.
I will note that for the older build, the part of
the path-text "13_0R-src" was different because
I'd changed naming conventions.

My builds are META_MODE builds, not that I know such
matters for why the include file is not found.

For CA7, instead of deleting GENERIC-NODBG-CA7, I'll
rename it before starting another kernel build. This
might let me find something interesting by
comparison/contrast of the older and newer material.

[You can skip to the # pwd and later lines to just
see what the below lead to discovering.  (- is new
from-scratch rebuild and + is older rebuild failure
that was not for a from scratch rebuild)]

Well, the prefix differences in the .o.meta file
look like:

 CWD /usr/obj/BUILDs/13_0R-CA7-nodbg-clang/usr/13_0R-src/arm.armv7/sys/GENERIC-NODBG-CA7
 TARGET genoffset.o
-OODATE /usr/13_0R-src/sys/kern/genoffset.c opt_global.h machine
+OODATE /usr/13_0R-src/sys/kern/genoffset.c opt_global.h

. . .

Both new and old show the likes of:

-R 94818 ./opt_global.h

The paths with "machine" show ./ prefixes, not
the explicit path I had expected. And that leads
to my incorrect expectations and to the explanation
for the behavior:

# pwd
/usr/obj/BUILDs/13_0R-CA7-nodbg-clang/usr/13_0R-src/arm.armv7/sys

# ls -Tld */machine
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  24 Apr 21 03:39:09 2021 GENERIC-NODBG-CA7-older/machine -> /usr/src/sys/arm/include
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  30 Apr 29 21:54:15 2021 GENERIC-NODBG-CA7/machine -> /usr/13_0R-src/sys/arm/include

The older tree links to an absolute path that starts with /usr/src/
(from before my rename). So "machine" was present locally but pointed
to a path that had nothing to reference. That is enough to apparently
block the compiler from looking via --sysroot's path.

That probably also gets back to the .o.meta file difference:

-OODATE /usr/13_0R-src/sys/kern/genoffset.c opt_global.h machine
+OODATE /usr/13_0R-src/sys/kern/genoffset.c opt_global.h

where the older not-from-scratch rebuild does not list "machine"
but the from-scratch build's one does.

buildworld, by contrast, does not produce such absolute paths that
reach outside a fairly localized sub tree (by comparison). So it
survived the rename in a way that did not mess up the rebuild.

I've no clue if the original intermittent problem was with creating
or using or replacing such symbolic links (whatever the content of
the links). Back then I never even thought to look for this type of
"machine" usage.
