Optimizing OVERLAY handling on android-build

by Paul Sokolovsky

Hello, There were increasing Android build times during last month again (going over 3.5hrs). Yesterday, I re-created the seed, but that didn't improve times match. I did more stats on builds and it turns out that we spend almost 1.5hrs in copying ever-growing overlay collection to the slaves via sluggish CopyToSlave Jenkins plugin. That's issues known for at least half-year, and was in queue for being reworked. I didn't work on android-build closely for few months, but now that I'm back on maintenance, I'd like to start with fixing this long-overdue issue. The idea was to pull all the needed overlay, straight to a slave. The complication here was handling of license protected files. ci.linaro.org had the same issue, and used a script to handle automatic downloads for some time. However, as of now, it was switched to other process and the script git bitrotted with recent linaro-license-protection codebase changes. I took a look at revamping it, but then though that it may be a good idea to use simpler and more explicit process, following closely click-thru usage. So, if you want to use a license-protected binaries in a build, you'd need to specify: ACCEPT_LICENSE=<license_id> Where <license_id> is id under which license is registered in linaro-license-protection. One good way to figure it out is to read the license page at all (well, as HTML source, the id is included in some links). Wording of variable name (as well as of commands in underlying implementation) is also explicit to point that its usage construes license acceptance. I prototypes these changes using https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~pfalcon/panda-jb-gcc47-tilt-tracki… which is down to 2h10m build time. I'm ready to migrate all builds tomorrow, while we're early in cycle start. Please let me know if there're any issues with approach or proposed migration timeframe, otherwise let's make android-build rock again.

Android on ARM64

by Tang, Yu

Hi, I am from Marvell Semi Ltd, we are evaluating SW solutions to adapt Android to ARM64 SoC quickly. As I consulted with ARM support, they are recommending use 64/32, which run Android in AArch32 mode while kernel runs in AArch64 mode; and they referred me to Linaro as Linaro is working on it. >From http://www.linaro.org/engineering/armv8, we can build ARM64 kernel, and boot the kernel and rootfs from Foundation model; but no info on the Android side yet. So here we have a few questions about the Android side. 1. What's Linaro plans for adapt Android ARM64? Is there any high level plan or details to share? 2. From ARM64's annoucement, AArch32 is broadly compatible with ARMv7A. Are there high level issues identified for AArch32 android adaption so far? 3. Also, does Linaro have any plans for Android in AArch64 mode? Please kindly let me know if there are other channels I shall pursue also. Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks, Yu Tang

[SOS about linaro_android_13.03 build][20130418]

by 徐国圣

Dear lInaro support, I am Bruce from China. I am trying to build image for panadaboard. I got linaro-android 13.03 release(I got build script from this link: https://releases.linaro.org/13.03/android/panda/). I meet some problems: 1. my source code download speed is very slow. It is <8k/s. How can I speed up this? 2. When I try to build this release with linaro_android_build_cmds.sh, and when build to ~/android/kernel/linaro/pandaboard/tools/perf, error is reported. message is like "Makefile 438: No gnu/libc-version.h found, please install glibc-dev[el]/glibc-static". I checked this makefile, and it is caused by libelf and bionic is not find. I checked many linaro toolchain, but I can not find libelf for target build. In fact my host toolchain should have installed this libelf. How can I pass this build? Thank you. /BR Bruce

Migration to new publishing process on android-build

by Paul Sokolovsky

Hello, To address https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android-infrastructure/+bug/1164273 and other publishing issues, we're going to switch to new optimized publishing process (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linaro-android-infrastructure/+spec/protot…). Migration is scheduled to happen this GMT evening/night. The new process is well enough tested, but with migration of this scale, some instability may occur, so please let me know of any non-working builds via IRC.
