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.

Seed doesn't seem to be effective for 4.3 builds any longer

by Paul Sokolovsky

Hello, Following maintenance of android-build.linaro.org due to EC2 issues, I also carved some time to finally do performance comparison of seeded builds vs normal ones, using repo bundles (support of which was added in the spring for our tree). Well, freshly built seed for 4.3 branch is 18Gb, which is big bump from 11Gb previous initial size as I remember it. Surprisingly, with unloaded master, it downloads in 7-8mins, just like (on average) before. But what follows is 30mins checkout. If seed is not used, the checkout (with automagic bundle download) takes ~40mins. So, as it stands, seed no longer provides any performance advantages. One way to explain it is the whole idea of seed is to pack small git objects into big archive, and that's just what bundles do eithern albeit on repository vs entire tree level. I'd still expect seed to work somewhat faster, and have a feeling that checkout from it of 30mins is due to some non-optimal handling from newer repo versions, but I don't have anything to back that except my intuition. And this work at whole was an excursion from another things pressing in the queue, so I have nothing else to propose but: 1. To leave latest produced seed there, but disable (resource-consuming) cronjobs to update it. 2. Gradually migrate jobs on android-build off it. Let me know if there're concerns/suggestions. -- Best Regards, Paul Linaro.org | Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Linaro http://twitter.com/#!/linaroorg - http://www.linaro.org/linaro-blog
