v1 (use "git am")

- add DTRACE option for user to decide

lang/ruby26 assumes that DTrace support is guarded by exists() check,
failing when base toolchain is removed, and instead external toolchain
is provided by ports via /usr/local/share/toolchains/*.mk inclusion.

- remove ${OPSYS} == "FreeBSD" check

DTrace does not exist on DragonFly BSD, the only known consumer of FreeBSD ports.

- Bump PORTREVISION per [1]

Note, 11.4 has modified usr/local/lib/libruby* entries. This is not caused
by this change, instead caused by any rebuild instead. Apparently, timestamp
or something else gets baked in on 11.4, so 11.4 Ruby is not reproducible. I
don't know any tool to diff binaries to tell what exactly is not reproducible.

RUBY_PORTREVISION bump is not included in this patch, git commit --amend
if committing.

UPDATING entry is not needed, the default behaviour of port did not change,
users who disable DTRACE globally will get notified via "options changed"
of poudriere.

lang/ruby27 change should follow shortly.

Are you saying that /usr/sbin/dtrace doesn't exist if WITHOUT_TOOLCHAIN is set?
Comment 2 Ghost 2021-08-05 01:34:44 UTC
(In reply to Steve Wills from comment #1)

WITHOUT_TOOLCHAIN is problematic (removes base headers). Instead, I use:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=257622#c2

dtrace does exist on such a system, but the port can't link DTRACE using non-base toolchain. Base toolchain links symbols that ports toolchain can't,
e.g. https://github.com/DankBSD/ports/commit/fef8031

Some ports already use DTRACE option, e.g. DTRACE_DESC in Mk/bsd.options.desc.mk,
so I think adding a DTRACE option to workaround this may be fine.

> the port can't link

Stderr is in the patch.
Comment 4 Ghost 2021-09-05 22:58:48 UTC
Maintainer timeout (1 month).

Maybe add this option for ports tree consistency,
e.g. do the same as databases/memcached, databases/postgresql14-server,
lang/perl5.34, lang/erlang-runtime24, lang/ponyc, www/node,
and many other ports that have optional DTRACE?

Why not? What is the error? Was it posted previously and I'm missing it?

> Base toolchain links symbols that ports toolchain can't, e.g. https://github.com/DankBSD/ports/commit/fef8031

Sorry, I don't understand. The linked commit doesn't seem to explain much.

I really don't understand this issue overall. It seems like it would really be helpful if you could be more specific about the issue(s) you seem to be encountering.

You seem to be saying that you have set these options in src.conf:

CROSS_TOOLCHAIN=llvm12
WITHOUT_CLANG=yes
WITHOUT_CLANG_BOOTSTRAP=yes
WITHOUT_LLD=yes
WITHOUT_LLD_BOOTSTRAP=yes
WITHOUT_LLDB=yes
WITHOUT_LLVM_COV=yes

and an additional patch to enable using external LLVM toolchain. What isn't clear is why you are doing that, or exactly what problem you are encountering due to this configuration. Perhaps if you could post the error message and/or full build log you get when trying to build ruby with this configuration it might help?

I can say that ruby should be made reproducible if it isn't, in my opinion. I suggest using sysutils/py-diffoscope to investigate what is changing between builds; I've used it in the past and it's quite nice.

I wouldn't suggest invoking maintainer timeout here until the issue is better understood. Maybe someone besides me understands it better. True the option to disable DTRACE is harmless, at the same time, we try not to add unnecessary options as each one adds a maintenance work in the long term. I'd apply the same logic to similarly filed DTRACE option patches.
Comment 6 Steve Wills freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-09-06 03:46:57 UTC
(In reply to Steve Wills from comment #5)
I did compare multiple builds of ruby with diffoscope and dtrace does seem to be a source of non-reproducibility in the package. So that seems like a good reason for a DTRACE option, at least until we can fix dtrace to use reproducible symbol names.

But I don't understand why using the external compiler would cause the link issue, the symbols should be present regardless of which compiler builds them.

FreeBSD base system includes LLVM based toolchain, and if one follows CURRENT,
then each update from source can take hours due to LLVM build. While there are
different ways to solve this via meta mode or ccache, the most efficient way
to lessen compile times is to not build the base toolchain, and use devel/llvm12
from ports instead. LLVM from ports can also be fetched using poudriere-devel
pkg seeding via '-b' option, resulting in no compile time for LLVM. This allows
me to build both kernel+world in less than 5 minutes using cheap (QTJ2) hardware.

I did the same for my poudriere build jail and installed devel/llvm12 as toolchain. The ports LLVM != base LLVM; the base one can link DTrace symbols
(in www/node, etc) while ports one can't. Maybe the ports LLVM can't link them due to diff between base LLVM, or the base LLVM includes some headers by default, or I don't have related toolchain binaries in $PATH symlinked to /usr/local/llvm12/*.

This is not an issue to me; I don't use DTRACE options in ports and opted to turn them off instead. The only ports that I use that have non-optional DTRACE are lang/ruby2*.

> Full build log you get when trying to build ruby with this configuration it might help?

Sorry, but I can't expose my environment, as this is an infoleak that can help
crafting exploits and puts me in risk. I prefer to have unique binaries. I already posted the required steps to reproduce this.

> True the option to disable DTRACE is harmless, at the same time, we try not to add unnecessary options as each one adds a maintenance work in the long term.

Currently DTrace support is an "automagic" option (which some folks dislike),
but I think that the main rationale to include DTRACE as an option, is ports tree consistency. My use case happens to need this.

Thanks.

(In reply to Evgeniy Khramtsov from comment #7)

Could you try running the scripts in this repo with your setup:

https://github.com/swills/dtrace_thing

and posting the results? You can leave out the particular md5 checksums if you want, but it would be helpful to know if they produce the same results on multiple runs or not.

I wonder if this is a problem with the ports tool chain, this might help show that.

I'm fine with adding the DTRACE option if we can better understand the issue and perhaps file a bug for the root cause, but simply turning it off as a workaround without understanding the issue seems like a bad idea, to me.
Comment 9 Steve Wills freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-09-06 13:28:19 UTC
I've tried to reproduce this issue, but so far I've been unable to reproduce it.
Comment 10 Ghost 2021-09-06 14:31:48 UTC

Sure. Although I changed $COMP because "cc" and "ld" don't exist here:
-COMP="cc"
+COMP="/usr/local/llvm12/bin/clang"
and
-COMP="c++"
+COMP="/usr/local/llvm12/bin/clang++"

Seems that dtrace calls "ld" regardless of what is set as LD in /usr/share/mk/sys.mk. LD set via env(1) is also ignored. Maybe a base issue?

Greg V of DankBSD could not experience issues with Ruby because of symlinks:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=257621#c1

In my setup I don't use symlinks.

Thank you, yes, this is the cause of the issue and what I was trying to get to. Indeed, dtrace expects an "ld" command:

https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/cddl/contrib/opensolaris/lib/libdtrace/common/dt_open.c#n789

It would be nice if it checked LD environment variable, and we can file a bug requesting that, but expecting an "ld" command to exist somewhere seems like a pretty reasonable expectation to me.

I'm not even sure where the right place to file a bug on dtrace would be. What is the upstream source? Or perhaps it should be filed against FreeBSD base since this was added here:

https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/cddl/contrib/opensolaris/lib/libdtrace/common/dt_open.c?id=fb24b944be9a0a5c0fe8a09b28321d1ff2c245fd

Seems like there are a number of ways around the issue for now.

You could patch this hard coded path in your setup for now, since you've already patched so many other things. Or perhaps create a patch to dtrace to have it check LD environment variable and fall back to "ld" and add that to a dtrace bug report. But, since we now understand the issue and disabling dtrace in the port avoids it and also helps with reproducibility, I'm OK with the patch to ruby to add the DTRACE option.

Thanks again for the help understanding the issue. I'll try to file a bug against FreeBSD base and create a patch when I have some time.

Could you test this patch and see if it allows ruby to build with dtrace enabled with your environment (non-system compiler, no system ld, etc.)?

But it seems that Ruby needs something more?

Passing $CPP to CONFIGURE_ENV did not help.

Did you try in a freshly created poudriere jail built using the patch
and src.conf? The jail should not have "cc", etc by default. "delete-old"
on existing jail does not delete "cc" and other binaries.

Thanks for trying to fix this. My priority in fixing DTRACE with ports LLVM
is low, but I will try any patches.

I have switched to lang/ruby30 where this problem does not exist (no DTrace).

My interest to test/rebase/update ruby2{6,7} patches in PRs may diminish.
