Subject: Guix 1.0.1-10.41b4b71 test fails on armhf
Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2019 12:51:45 +0100

Hello,

I have 3 failing tests when building guix 1.0.1-10.41b4b71 on armhf. I
didn't build with -K argument and as it takes ~10 hours, so I'll just paste
my terminal output for now.

It seems to fail on ci.guix.info but the log is partial?

http://ci.guix.info/log/ma98kc90y5jp7h1ydxjlfa7r3nx0sd37-guix-1.0.1-10.41b4b71

Mmmh, I get what's going on in tests/processes.scm. It's an issue in
(guix scripts processes) where argv0 is checked for "guix-daemon".

When using --system my-system, argv0 is "qemu-my-system". So we need to
check both argv0 and argv1 for "guix-daemon".

I'll propose a patch.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

About the failing test below, lzip is not found on armhf and all tests
are skipped but the last one, that fails.

The patch attached, makes sure that this test is also skipped if lzip is
not found.

Now I'm not sure why it is not found but that's another matter.

WDYT?

Here it is. Please tell me what you think. Another solution would be to
accept that (guix process) is broken when guix-daemon is run via binfmt
and disable the tests in that case. However, I don't know how to detect
it properly for the test suite.

WDYT?

From 3b6f5708043a29343275fadf0b0e0e651bb6971e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Mathieu Othacehe <m.othacehe <at> gmail.com>

Subject: [PATCH] process: Fix binfmt support.

Guix-daemon does fork itself for each client process. The pid of the client is
hardcoded into the clone argv[1] field. (guix process) uses this debugging
feature to detect guix-daemon clients.

This does not work when the guix-daemon is run by binfmt. In that case two
problem occurs:

* Command line parsing fails because guix-daemon command line looks like
/gnu/store/xxx-qemu-arm /gnu/store/yyy-guix-daemon ... instead of just
/gnu/store/yyy-guix-daemon ...

* The pid stuffing mechanism does not work because the memory location of argv
differs when the forked process is in reality run by qemu-arm through binfmt.

The first problem is solved by reading /proc/pid/comm instead of parsing
/proc/pid/cmdline to detect if a process is a guix-daemon.

The second problem is solved by renaming guix-daemon forked process to
"guix/<client-pid>" using PR_SET_NAME. Then, (guix process) can parse the
process name instead of the cmdline to find client pids.

* nix/nix-daemon/nix-daemon.cc (acceptConnection): Change the forked process
name to "guix/<client-pid>" with PR_SET_NAME.
* guix/scripts/processes.scm (<process>): "command" field now contains the
content of /proc/pid/comm. Add a new field "command-line" to store the process
command line.
(read-command): New procedure.
(processes): Fill "command" field with /proc/pid/comm content and
"command-line" field with /proc/pid/cmdline content. Adapt "process"
construction accordingly.
(daemon-sessions): Identify guix-daemon main processes by filtering process
with "command" field set to "guix-daemon" and guix-daemon children by
filtering process with "command" field set to "guix/...".
In "child-process->session", parse children "command" field to extract client
pids.
(daemon-session->recutils): Adapt accordingly.
* tests/processes.scm (client): Guix-daemon client process command is now
"guix/...". Adapt accordingly.

Hi Mathieu,

Sorry for the delay!

Good catch!  When “transparent” emulation is no longer transparent…

It’s kinda ugly, but I’d be tempted to go for that second solution:
detecting in tests/processes.scm that we’re under binfmt_misc and
skipping tests.

The reason is that while your patch looks great to me, it would break
when new “guix processes” is used with an old daemon.  There are other
details, like “guix/PID” is not as nice as “guix-daemon PID” (or
similar) for grepping purposes, but “guix-daemon PID” might hit the
limit on command name length.  Tricky!

As for the detection, this appears to work:

  (define (binfmt-misc?)
    (let ((pid (getpid))
          (cmdline (call-with-input-file "/proc/self/cmdline" get-string-all)))
      (match (primitive-fork)
        (0 (dynamic-wind
             (const #t)
             (lambda ()
               (exit (not (equal? (call-with-input-file (format #f "/proc/~a/cmdline" pid)
                                    get-string-all)
                                  cmdline))))
             (const #t)))
        (x (zero? (pk (cdr (waitpid x))))))))

WDYT?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Nice trick, I didn't think of forking process to fool qemu-user ;)

Pushed a fix with your snippet as

Thanks,
