It can build each individual commit and report -which boards fail on which commits, and which errors come up. It aims -to make full use of multi-processor machines. - -A key feature of buildman is its output summary, which allows warnings, -errors or image size increases in a particular commit or board to be -quickly identified and the offending commit pinpointed. This can be a big -help for anyone working with >10 patches at a time. - - -Caveats -======= - -Buildman can be stopped and restarted, in which case it will continue -where it left off. This should happen cleanly and without side-effects. -If not, it is a bug, for which a patch would be welcome. - -Buildman gets so tied up in its work that it can ignore the outside world. -You may need to press Ctrl-C several times to quit it. Also it will print -out various exceptions when stopped. You may have to kill it since the -Ctrl-C handling is somewhat broken. - - -Theory of Operation -=================== - -(please read this section in full twice or you will be perpetually confused) - -Buildman is a builder. It is not make, although it runs make. It does not -produce any useful output on the terminal while building, except for -progress information (but see -v below). All the output (errors, warnings and -binaries if you ask for them) is stored in output directories, which you can -look at from a separate 'buildman -s' instance while the build is progressing, -or when it is finished. - -Buildman is designed to build entire git branches, i.e. muliple commits. It -can be run repeatedly on the same branch after making changes to commits on -that branch. In this case it will automatically rebuild commits which have -changed (and remove its old results for that commit). It is possible to build -a branch for one board, then later build it for another board. This adds to -the output, so now you have results for two boards. If you want buildman to -re-build a commit it has already built (e.g. because of a toolchain update), -use the -f flag. - -Buildman produces a concise summary of which boards succeeded and failed. -It shows which commit introduced which board failure using a simple -red/green colour coding (with yellow/cyan for warnings). Full error -information can be requested, in which case it is de-duped and displayed -against the commit that introduced the error. An example workflow is below. - -Buildman stores image size information and can report changes in image size -from commit to commit. An example of this is below. - -Buildman starts multiple threads, and each thread builds for one board at -a time. A thread starts at the first commit, configures the source for your -board and builds it. Then it checks out the next commit and does an -incremental build (i.e. not using 'make xxx_defconfig' unless you use -C). -Eventually the thread reaches the last commit and stops. If a commit causes -an error or warning, buildman will try it again after reconfiguring (but see --Q). Thus some commits may be built twice, with the first result silently -discarded. Lots of errors and warnings will causes lots of reconfigures and your -build will be very slow. This is because a file that produces just a warning -would not normally be rebuilt in an incremental build. Once a thread finishes -building all the commits for a board, it starts on the commits for another -board. - -Buildman works in an entirely separate place from your U-Boot repository. -It creates a separate working directory for each thread, and puts the -output files in the working directory, organised by commit name and board -name, in a two-level hierarchy (but see -P). - -Buildman is invoked in your U-Boot directory, the one with the .git -directory. It clones this repository into a copy for each thread, and the -threads do not affect the state of your git repository. Any checkouts done -by the thread affect only the working directory for that thread. - -Buildman automatically selects the correct tool chain for each board. You -must supply suitable tool chains (see --fetch-arch), but buildman takes care -of selecting the right one. - -Buildman generally builds a branch (with the -b flag), and in this case -builds the upstream commit as well, for comparison. So even if you have one -commit in your branch, two commits will be built. Put all your commits in a -branch, set the branch's upstream to a valid value, and all will be well. -Otherwise buildman will perform random actions. Use -n to check what the -random actions might be. - -Buildman effectively has two modes: without -s it builds, with -s it -summarises the results of previous (or active) builds. - -If you just want to build the current source tree, leave off the -b flag. -This will display results and errors as they happen. You can still look at -them later using -se. Note that buildman will assume that the source has -changed, and will build all specified boards in this case. - -Buildman is optimised for building many commits at once, for many boards. -On multi-core machines, Buildman is fast because it uses most of the -available CPU power. When it gets to the end, or if you are building just -a few commits or boards, it will be pretty slow. As a tip, if you don't -plan to use your machine for anything else, you can use -T to increase the -number of threads beyond the default. - - -Selecting which boards to build -=============================== - -Buildman lets you build all boards, or a subset. Specify the subset by passing -command-line arguments that list the desired build target, architecture, -CPU, board name, vendor, SoC or options. Multiple arguments are allowed. Each -argument will be interpreted as a regular expression, so behaviour is a superset -of exact or substring matching. Examples are: - -* 'tegra20' All boards with a Tegra20 SoC -* 'tegra' All boards with any Tegra Soc (Tegra20, Tegra30, Tegra114...) -* '^tegra[23]0$' All boards with either Tegra20 or Tegra30 SoC -* 'powerpc' All PowerPC boards - -While the default is to OR the terms together, you can also make use of -the '&' operator to limit the selection: - -* 'freescale & arm sandbox' All Freescale boards with ARM architecture, - plus sandbox - -You can also use -x to specifically exclude some boards. For example: - - buildman arm -x nvidia,freescale,.*ball$ - -means to build all arm boards except nvidia, freescale and anything ending -with 'ball'. - -For building specific boards you can use the --boards (or --bo) option, which -takes a comma-separated list of board target names and be used multiple times -on the command line: - - buildman --boards sandbox,snow --boards - -It is convenient to use the -n option to see what will be built based on -the subset given. Use -v as well to get an actual list of boards. - -Buildman does not store intermediate object files. It optionally copies -the binary output into a directory when a build is successful (-k). Size -information is always recorded. It needs a fair bit of disk space to work, -typically 250MB per thread. - - -Setting up -========== - -1. Get the U-Boot source. You probably already have it, but if not these -steps should get you started with a repo and some commits for testing. - -$ cd /path/to/u-boot -$ git clone git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git . -$ git checkout -b my-branch origin/master -$ # Add some commits to the branch, reading for testing - -2. Create ~/.buildman to tell buildman where to find tool chains (see 'The -.buildman file' later for details). As an example: - -# Buildman settings file - -[toolchain] -root: / -rest: /toolchains/* -eldk: /opt/eldk-4.2 -arm: /opt/linaro/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2013.08_linux -aarch64: /opt/linaro/gcc-linaro-aarch64-none-elf-4.8-2013.10_linux - -[toolchain-alias] -x86: i386 -blackfin: bfin -openrisc: or1k - - -This selects the available toolchain paths. Add the base directory for -each of your toolchains here. Buildman will search inside these directories -and also in any '/usr' and '/usr/bin' subdirectories. - -Make sure the tags (here root: rest: and eldk:) are unique. - -The toolchain-alias section indicates that the i386 toolchain should be used -to build x86 commits. - -Note that you can also specific exactly toolchain prefixes if you like: - -[toolchain-prefix] -arm: /opt/arm-eabi-4.6/bin/arm-eabi- - -or even: - -[toolchain-prefix] -arm: /opt/arm-eabi-4.6/bin/arm-eabi-gcc - -This tells buildman that you want to use this exact toolchain for the arm -architecture. This will override any toolchains found by searching using the -[toolchain] settings. - -Since the toolchain prefix is an explicit request, buildman will report an -error if a toolchain is not found with that prefix. The current PATH will be -searched, so it is possible to use: - -[toolchain-prefix] -arm: arm-none-eabi- - -and buildman will find arm-none-eabi-gcc in /usr/bin if you have it installed. - -[toolchain-wrapper] -wrapper: ccache - -This tells buildman to use a compiler wrapper in front of CROSS_COMPILE. In -this example, ccache. It doesn't affect the toolchain scan. The wrapper is -added when CROSS_COMPILE environtal variable is set. The name in this -section is ignored. If more than one line is provided, only the last one -is taken. - -3. Make sure you have the require Python pre-requisites - -Buildman uses multiprocessing, Queue, shutil, StringIO, ConfigParser and -urllib2. These should normally be available, but if you get an error like -this then you will need to obtain those modules: - - ImportError: No module named multiprocessing - - -4.

It will build -only the upstream commit and your final branch commit. - -You can also use -d to see a detailed size breakdown for each board. This -list is sorted in order from largest growth to largest reduction. - -It is even possible to go a little further with the -B option (--bloat).

This increase was offset in by reductions in rodata and -data/bss. - -Shown below the summary lines are the sizes for each board. Below each board -are the sizes for each function. This information starts with: - - add - number of functions added / removed - grow - number of functions which grew / shrunk - bytes - number of bytes of code added to / removed from all functions, - plus the total byte change in brackets - -The change seems to be that hash_command() has increased by more than the -do_mem_crc() function has decreased. The function sizes typically add up to -roughly the text area size, but note that every read-only section except -rodata is included in 'text', so the function total does not exactly -correspond. - -It is common when refactoring code for the rodata to decrease as the text size -increases, and vice versa. - - -The .buildman file -================== - -The .buildman file provides information about the available toolchains and -also allows build flags to be passed to 'make'. It consists of several -sections, with the section name in square brackets. Within each section are -a set of (tag, value) pairs. - -'[toolchain]' section - - This lists the available toolchains. The tag here doesn't matter, but - make sure it is unique. The value is the path to the toolchain. Buildman - will look in that path for a file ending in 'gcc'. It will then execute - it to check that it is a C compiler, passing only the --version flag to - it. If the return code is 0, buildman assumes that it is a valid C - compiler. It uses the first part of the name as the architecture and - strips off the last part when setting the CROSS_COMPILE environment - variable (parts are delimited with a hyphen). - - For example powerpc-linux-gcc will be noted as a toolchain for 'powerpc' - and CROSS_COMPILE will be set to powerpc-linux- when using it. - -'[toolchain-alias]' section - - This converts toolchain architecture names to U-Boot names. For example, - if an x86 toolchains is called i386-linux-gcc it will not normally be - used for architecture 'x86'. Adding 'x86: i386 x86_64' to this section - will tell buildman that the i386 and x86_64 toolchains can be used for - the x86 architecture. - -'[make-flags]' section - - U-Boot's build system supports a few flags (such as BUILD_TAG) which - affect the build product. These flags can be specified in the buildman - settings file. They can also be useful when building U-Boot against other - open source software. - - [make-flags] - at91-boards=ENABLE_AT91_TEST=1 - snapper9260=${at91-boards} BUILD_TAG=442 - snapper9g45=${at91-boards} BUILD_TAG=443 - - This will use 'make ENABLE_AT91_TEST=1 BUILD_TAG=442' for snapper9260 - and 'make ENABLE_AT91_TEST=1 BUILD_TAG=443' for snapper9g45. A special - variable ${target} is available to access the target name (snapper9260 - and snapper9g20 in this case). Variables are resolved recursively. Note - that variables can only contain the characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9, hyphen (-) - and underscore (_). - - It is expected that any variables added are dealt with in U-Boot's - config.mk file and documented in the README. - - Note that you can pass ad-hoc options to the build using environment - variables, for example: - - SOME_OPTION=1234 ./tools/buildman/buildman my_board - - -Quick Sanity Check -================== - -If you have made changes and want to do a quick sanity check of the -currently checked-out source, run buildman without the -b flag. This will -build the selected boards and display build status as it runs (i.e. -v is -enabled automatically). Use -e to see errors/warnings as well. - - -Building Ranges -=============== - -You can build a range of commits by specifying a range instead of a branch -when using the -b flag. For example: - - upstream/master..us-buildman - -will build commits in us-buildman that are not in upstream/master. - - -Building Faster -=============== - -By default, buildman doesn't execute 'make mrproper' prior to building the -first commit for each board. This reduces the amount of work 'make' does, and -hence speeds up the build. To force use of 'make mrproper', use -the -m flag. -This flag will slow down any buildman invocation, since it increases the amount -of work done on any build. - -One possible application of buildman is as part of a continual edit, build, -edit, build, ... cycle; repeatedly applying buildman to the same change or -series of changes while making small incremental modifications to the source -each time. This provides quick feedback regarding the correctness of recent -modifications. In this scenario, buildman's default choice of build directory -causes more build work to be performed than strictly necessary. - -By default, each buildman thread uses a single directory for all builds. When a -thread builds multiple boards, the configuration built in this directory will -cycle through various different configurations, one per board built by the -thread. Variations in the configuration will force a rebuild of affected source -files when a thread switches between boards. Ideally, such buildman-induced -rebuilds would not happen, thus allowing the build to operate as efficiently as -the build system and source changes allow. buildman's -P flag may be used to -enable this; -P causes each board to be built in a separate (board-specific) -directory, thus avoiding any buildman-induced configuration changes in any -build directory. - -U-Boot's build system embeds information such as a build timestamp into the -final binary. This information varies each time U-Boot is built. This causes -various files to be rebuilt even if no source changes are made, which in turn -requires that the final U-Boot binary be re-linked. This unnecessary work can -be avoided by turning off the timestamp feature. This can be achieved by -setting the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable to 0. - -Combining all of these options together yields the command-line shown below. -This will provide the quickest possible feedback regarding the current content -of the source tree, thus allowing rapid tested evolution of the code. - - SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=0 ./tools/buildman/buildman -P tegra - - -Checking configuration -====================== - -A common requirement when converting CONFIG options to Kconfig is to check -that the effective configuration has not changed due to the conversion. -Buildman supports this with the -K option, used after a build. This shows -differences in effective configuration between one commit and the next. - -For example: - - $ buildman -b kc4 -sK - ... - 43: Convert CONFIG_SPL_USBETH_SUPPORT to Kconfig - arm: - + u-boot.cfg: CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT=1 CONFIG_SPL_NET=1 - + u-boot-spl.cfg: CONFIG_SPL_MMC=1 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SUPPORT=1 - + all: CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT=1 CONFIG_SPL_MMC=1 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SUPPORT=1 CONFIG_SPL_NET=1 - am335x_evm_usbspl : - + u-boot.cfg: CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT=1 CONFIG_SPL_NET=1 - + u-boot-spl.cfg: CONFIG_SPL_MMC=1 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SUPPORT=1 - + all: CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT=1 CONFIG_SPL_MMC=1 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SUPPORT=1 CONFIG_SPL_NET=1 - 44: Convert CONFIG_SPL_USB_HOST to Kconfig - ... - -This shows that commit 44 enabled three new options for the board -am335x_evm_usbspl which were not enabled in commit 43. There is also a -summary for 'arm' showing all the changes detected for that architecture. -In this case there is only one board with changes, so 'arm' output is the -same as 'am335x_evm_usbspl'/ - -The -K option uses the u-boot.cfg, spl/u-boot-spl.cfg and tpl/u-boot-tpl.cfg -files which are produced by a build. If all you want is to check the -configuration you can in fact avoid doing a full build, using -D. This tells -buildman to configuration U-Boot and create the .cfg files, but not actually -build the source. This is 5-10 times faster than doing a full build. - -By default buildman considers the follow two configuration methods -equivalent: - - #define CONFIG_SOME_OPTION - - CONFIG_SOME_OPTION=y - -The former would appear in a header filer and the latter in a defconfig -file. The achieve this, buildman considers 'y' to be '1' in configuration -variables. This avoids lots of useless output when converting a CONFIG -option to Kconfig. To disable this behaviour, use --squash-config-y. - - -Checking the environment -======================== - -When converting CONFIG options which manipulate the default environment, -a common requirement is to check that the default environment has not -changed due to the conversion. Buildman supports this with the -U option, -used after a build. This shows differences in the default environment -between one commit and the next. - -For example: - -$ buildman -b squash brppt1 -sU -Summary of 2 commits for 3 boards (3 threads, 3 jobs per thread) -01: Migrate bootlimit to Kconfig -02: Squashed commit of the following: - c brppt1_mmc: altbootcmd=mmc dev 1; run mmcboot0; -> mmc dev 1; run mmcboot0 - c brppt1_spi: altbootcmd=mmc dev 1; run mmcboot0; -> mmc dev 1; run mmcboot0 - + brppt1_nand: altbootcmd=run usbscript - - brppt1_nand: altbootcmd=run usbscript -(no errors to report) - -This shows that commit 2 modified the value of 'altbootcmd' for 'brppt1_mmc' -and 'brppt1_spi', removing a trailing semicolon. 'brppt1_nand' gained an a -value for 'altbootcmd', but lost one for ' altbootcmd'. - -The -U option uses the u-boot.env files which are produced by a build. - - -Building with clang -=================== - -To build with clang (sandbox only), use the -O option to override the -toolchain. For example: - - buildman -O clang-7 --board sandbox - - -Doing a simple build -==================== - -In some cases you just want to build a single board and get the full output, use -the -w option, for example: - - buildman -o /tmp/build --board sandbox -w - -This will write the full build into /tmp/build including object files. You must -specify the output directory with -o when using -w. - - -Support for IDEs (Integrated Development Environments) -====================================================== - -Normally buildman summarises the output and shows information indicating the -meaning of each line of output. For example a '+' symbol appears at the start of -each error line. Also, buildman prints information about what it is about to do, -along with a summary at the end. - -When using buildman from an IDE, it is helpful to drop this behaviour. Use the --I/--ide option for that. You might find -W helpful also so that warnings do -not cause the build to fail: - - buildman -o /tmp/build --board sandbox -wWI - - -Changing the configuration -========================== - -Sometimes it is useful to change the CONFIG options for a build on the fly. This -can be used to build a board (or multiple) with a few changes to see the impact. -The -a option supports this: - - -a - -where is a CONFIG option (with or without the CONFIG_ prefix) to enable. -For example: - - buildman -a CMD_SETEXPR_FMT - -will build with CONFIG_CMD_SETEXPR_FMT enabled. - -You can disable options by preceding them with tilde (~). You can specify the --a option multiple times: - - buildman -a CMD_SETEXPR_FMT -a ~CMDLINE - -Some options have values, in which case you can change them: - - buildman -a 'BOOTCOMMAND="echo hello"' CONFIG_SYS_LOAD_ADDR=0x1000 - -Note that you must put quotes around string options and the whole thing must be -in single quotes, to make sure the shell leave it alone. - -If you try to set an option that does not exist, or that cannot be changed for -some other reason (e.g. it is 'selected' by another option), then buildman -shows an error: - - buildman --board sandbox -a FRED - Building current source for 1 boards (1 thread, 32 jobs per thread) - 0 0 0 /1 -1 (starting)errs - Some CONFIG adjustments did not take effect. This may be because - the request CONFIGs do not exist or conflict with others. - - Failed adjustments: - - FRED Missing expected line: CONFIG_FRED=y - - -One major caveat with this feature with branches (-b) is that buildman does not -name the output directories differently when you change the configuration, so -doing the same build again with different configuration will not trigger a -rebuild. You can use -f to work around that. - - -Other options -============= - -Buildman has various other command-line options. Try --help to see them. - -To find out what toolchain prefix buildman will use for a build, use the -A -option. - -To request that compiler warnings be promoted to errors, use -E. This passes the --Werror flag to the compiler. Note that the build can still produce warnings -with -E, e.g. the migration warnings: - - ===================== WARNING ====================== - This board does not use CONFIG_DM_MMC. Please update - ... - ==================================================== - -When doing builds, Buildman's return code will reflect the overall result: - - 0 (success) No errors or warnings found - 100 Errors found - 101 Warnings found (only if no -W) - -You can use -W to tell Buildman to return 0 (success) instead of 101 when -warnings are found. Note that it can be useful to combine -E and -W. This means -that all compiler warnings will produce failures (code 100) and all other -warnings will produce success (since 101 is changed to 0). - -If there are both warnings and errors, errors win, so buildman returns 100. - -The -y option is provided (for use with -s) to ignore the bountiful device-tree -warnings. Similarly, -Y tells buildman to ignore the migration warnings. - -Sometimes you might get an error in a thread that is not handled by buildman, -perhaps due to a failure of a tool that it calls. You might see the output, but -then buildman hangs. Failing to handle any eventuality is a bug in buildman and -should be reported. But you can use -T0 to disable threading and hopefully -figure out the root cause of the build failure. - -Build summary -============= - -When buildman finishes it shows a summary, something like this: - - Completed: 5 total built, duration 0:00:21, rate 0.24 - -This shows that a total of 5 builds were done across all selected boards, it -took 21 seconds and the builds happened at the rate of 0.24 per second. The -latter number depends on the speed of your machine and the efficiency of the -U-Boot build. - - -How to change from MAKEALL -========================== - -Buildman includes most of the features of MAKEALL and is generally faster -and easier to use. In particular it builds entire branches: if a particular -commit introduces an error in a particular board, buildman can easily show -you this, even if a later commit fixes that error. - -The reasons to deprecate MAKEALL are: -- We don't want to maintain two build systems -- Buildman is typically faster -- Buildman has a lot more features - -But still, many people will be sad to lose MAKEALL. If you are used to -MAKEALL, here are a few pointers. - -First you need to set up your tool chains - see the 'Setting up' section -for details. Once you have your required toolchain(s) detected then you are -ready to go. - -To build the current source tree, run buildman without a -b flag: - - ./tools/buildman/buildman - -This will build the current source tree for the given boards and display -the results and errors. - -However buildman usually works on entire branches, and for that you must -specify a board flag: - - ./tools/buildman/buildman -b - -followed by (afterwards, or perhaps concurrently in another terminal): - - ./tools/buildman/buildman -b -s - -to see the results of the build. Rather than showing you all the output, -buildman just shows a summary, with red indicating that a commit introduced -an error and green indicating that a commit fixed an error. Use the -e -flag to see the full errors and -l to see which boards caused which errors. - -If you really want to see build results as they happen, use -v when doing a -build (and -e to see the errors/warnings too). - -You don't need to stick around on that branch while buildman is running. It -checks out its own copy of the source code, so you can change branches, -add commits, etc. without affecting the build in progress. - -The can include board names, architectures or the -like. There are no flags to disambiguate since ambiguities are rare. Using -the examples from MAKEALL: - -Examples: - - build all Power Architecture boards: - MAKEALL -a powerpc - MAKEALL --arch powerpc - MAKEALL powerpc - ** buildman -b powerpc - - build all PowerPC boards manufactured by vendor "esd": - MAKEALL -a powerpc -v esd - ** buildman -b esd - - build all PowerPC boards manufactured either by "keymile" or "siemens": - MAKEALL -a powerpc -v keymile -v siemens - ** buildman -b keymile siemens - - build all Freescale boards with MPC83xx CPUs, plus all 4xx boards: - MAKEALL -c mpc83xx -v freescale 4xx - ** buildman -b mpc83xx freescale 4xx - -Buildman automatically tries to use all the CPUs in your machine. If you -are building a lot of boards it will use one thread for every CPU core -it detects in your machine. This is like MAKEALL's BUILD_NBUILDS option. -You can use the -T flag to change the number of threads. If you are only -building a few boards, buildman will automatically run make with the -j -flag to increase the number of concurrent make tasks. It isn't normally -that helpful to fiddle with this option, but if you use the BUILD_NCPUS -option in MAKEALL then -j is the equivalent in buildman. - -Buildman puts its output in ../ by default but you can change -this with the -o option. Buildman normally does out-of-tree builds: use -i -to disable that if you really want to. But be careful that once you have -used -i you pollute buildman's copies of the source tree, and you will need -to remove the build directory (normally ../) to run buildman -in normal mode (without -i). - -Buildman doesn't keep the output result normally, but use the -k option to -do this. - -Please read 'Theory of Operation' a few times as it will make a lot of -things clearer. - -Some options you might like are: - - -B shows which functions are growing/shrinking in which commit - great - for finding code bloat. - -S shows image sizes for each commit (just an overall summary) - -u shows boards that you haven't built yet - --step 0 will build just the upstream commit and the last commit of your - branch. This is often a quick sanity check that your branch doesn't - break anything. But note this does not check bisectability! - - -Using boards.cfg -================ - -This file is no-longer needed by buildman but it is still generated in the -working directory. This helps avoid a delay on every build, since scanning all -the Kconfig files takes a few seconds. Use the -R flag to force regeneration -of the file - in that case buildman exits after writing the file. with exit code -2 if there was an error in the maintainer files. - -You should use 'buildman -nv ' instead of greoing the boards.cfg file, -since it may be dropped altogether in future. - - -TODO -==== - -Many improvements have been made over the years. There is still quite a bit of -scope for more though, e.g.: - -- easier access to log files -- 'hunting' for problems, perhaps by building a few boards for each arch, or - checking commits for changed files and building only boards which use those - files - - -Credits -======= - -Thanks to Grant Grundler for his ideas for improving -the build speed by building all commits for a board instead of the other -way around. - - -Simon Glass -sjg@chromium.org -Halloween 2012 -Updated 12-12-12 -Updated 23-02-13 -Updated 09-04-20 diff --git a/tools/buildman/README.rst b/tools/buildman/README.rst new file mode 120000 index 0000000000..c359387b2b --- /dev/null +++ b/tools/buildman/README.rst @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +buildman.rst \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/tools/buildman/buildman.rst b/tools/buildman/buildman.rst new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..ae0b60648d --- /dev/null +++ b/tools/buildman/buildman.rst @@ -0,0 +1,1406 @@ +..

It can build each individual commit and report +which boards fail on which commits, and which errors come up. It aims +to make full use of multi-processor machines. + +A key feature of buildman is its output summary, which allows warnings, +errors or image size increases in a particular commit or board to be +quickly identified and the offending commit pinpointed. This can be a big +help for anyone working with >10 patches at a time. + + +Caveats +------- + +Buildman can be stopped and restarted, in which case it will continue +where it left off. This should happen cleanly and without side-effects. +If not, it is a bug, for which a patch would be welcome. + +Buildman gets so tied up in its work that it can ignore the outside world. +You may need to press Ctrl-C several times to quit it. Also it will print +out various exceptions when stopped. You may have to kill it since the +Ctrl-C handling is somewhat broken. + + +Theory of Operation +------------------- + +(please read this section in full twice or you will be perpetually confused) + +Buildman is a builder. It is not make, although it runs make. It does not +produce any useful output on the terminal while building, except for +progress information (but see -v below). All the output (errors, warnings and +binaries if you ask for them) is stored in output directories, which you can +look at from a separate 'buildman -s' instance while the build is progressing, +or when it is finished. + +Buildman is designed to build entire git branches, i.e. muliple commits. It +can be run repeatedly on the same branch after making changes to commits on +that branch. In this case it will automatically rebuild commits which have +changed (and remove its old results for that commit). It is possible to build +a branch for one board, then later build it for another board. This adds to +the output, so now you have results for two boards. If you want buildman to +re-build a commit it has already built (e.g. because of a toolchain update), +use the -f flag. + +Buildman produces a concise summary of which boards succeeded and failed. +It shows which commit introduced which board failure using a simple +red/green colour coding (with yellow/cyan for warnings). Full error +information can be requested, in which case it is de-duped and displayed +against the commit that introduced the error. An example workflow is below. + +Buildman stores image size information and can report changes in image size +from commit to commit. An example of this is below. + +Buildman starts multiple threads, and each thread builds for one board at +a time. A thread starts at the first commit, configures the source for your +board and builds it. Then it checks out the next commit and does an +incremental build (i.e. not using 'make xxx_defconfig' unless you use -C). +Eventually the thread reaches the last commit and stops. If a commit causes +an error or warning, buildman will try it again after reconfiguring (but see +-Q). Thus some commits may be built twice, with the first result silently +discarded. Lots of errors and warnings will causes lots of reconfigures and your +build will be very slow. This is because a file that produces just a warning +would not normally be rebuilt in an incremental build. Once a thread finishes +building all the commits for a board, it starts on the commits for another +board. + +Buildman works in an entirely separate place from your U-Boot repository. +It creates a separate working directory for each thread, and puts the +output files in the working directory, organised by commit name and board +name, in a two-level hierarchy (but see -P). + +Buildman is invoked in your U-Boot directory, the one with the .git +directory. It clones this repository into a copy for each thread, and the +threads do not affect the state of your git repository. Any checkouts done +by the thread affect only the working directory for that thread. + +Buildman automatically selects the correct tool chain for each board. You +must supply suitable tool chains (see --fetch-arch), but buildman takes care +of selecting the right one. + +Buildman generally builds a branch (with the -b flag), and in this case +builds the upstream commit as well, for comparison. So even if you have one +commit in your branch, two commits will be built. Put all your commits in a +branch, set the branch's upstream to a valid value, and all will be well. +Otherwise buildman will perform random actions. Use -n to check what the +random actions might be. + +Buildman effectively has two modes: without -s it builds, with -s it +summarises the results of previous (or active) builds. + +If you just want to build the current source tree, leave off the -b flag. +This will display results and errors as they happen. You can still look at +them later using -se. Note that buildman will assume that the source has +changed, and will build all specified boards in this case. + +Buildman is optimised for building many commits at once, for many boards. +On multi-core machines, Buildman is fast because it uses most of the +available CPU power. When it gets to the end, or if you are building just +a few commits or boards, it will be pretty slow. As a tip, if you don't +plan to use your machine for anything else, you can use -T to increase the +number of threads beyond the default. + + +Selecting which boards to build +------------------------------- + +Buildman lets you build all boards, or a subset. Specify the subset by passing +command-line arguments that list the desired build target, architecture, +CPU, board name, vendor, SoC or options. Multiple arguments are allowed. Each +argument will be interpreted as a regular expression, so behaviour is a superset +of exact or substring matching. Examples are: + +- 'tegra20' - all boards with a Tegra20 SoC +- 'tegra' - all boards with any Tegra Soc (Tegra20, Tegra30, Tegra114...) +- '^tegra[23]0$' - all boards with either Tegra20 or Tegra30 SoC +- 'powerpc' - all PowerPC boards + +While the default is to OR the terms together, you can also make use of +the '&' operator to limit the selection: + +- 'freescale & arm sandbox' - all Freescale boards with ARM architecture, plus + sandbox + +You can also use -x to specifically exclude some boards. For example: + + buildman arm -x nvidia,freescale,.*ball$ + +means to build all arm boards except nvidia, freescale and anything ending +with 'ball'. + +For building specific boards you can use the --boards (or --bo) option, which +takes a comma-separated list of board target names and be used multiple times +on the command line: + +.. code-block:: bash + + buildman --boards sandbox,snow --boards + +It is convenient to use the -n option to see what will be built based on +the subset given. Use -v as well to get an actual list of boards. + +Buildman does not store intermediate object files. It optionally copies +the binary output into a directory when a build is successful (-k). Size +information is always recorded. It needs a fair bit of disk space to work, +typically 250MB per thread. + + +Setting up +---------- + +#. Get the U-Boot source. You probably already have it, but if not these + steps should get you started with a repo and some commits for testing. + + .. code-block:: bash + + cd /path/to/u-boot + git clone git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git . + git checkout -b my-branch origin/master + # Add some commits to the branch, reading for testing + +#. Create ~/.buildman to tell buildman where to find tool chains (see + buildman_settings_ for details). As an example:: + + # Buildman settings file + + [toolchain] + root: / + rest: /toolchains/* + eldk: /opt/eldk-4.2 + arm: /opt/linaro/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2013.08_linux + aarch64: /opt/linaro/gcc-linaro-aarch64-none-elf-4.8-2013.10_linux + + [toolchain-alias] + x86: i386 + blackfin: bfin + openrisc: or1k + + + This selects the available toolchain paths. Add the base directory for + each of your toolchains here. Buildman will search inside these directories + and also in any '/usr' and '/usr/bin' subdirectories. + + Make sure the tags (here root: rest: and eldk:) are unique. + + The toolchain-alias section indicates that the i386 toolchain should be used + to build x86 commits. + + Note that you can also specific exactly toolchain prefixes if you like:: + + [toolchain-prefix] + arm: /opt/arm-eabi-4.6/bin/arm-eabi- + + or even:: + + [toolchain-prefix] + arm: /opt/arm-eabi-4.6/bin/arm-eabi-gcc + + This tells buildman that you want to use this exact toolchain for the arm + architecture. This will override any toolchains found by searching using the + [toolchain] settings. + + Since the toolchain prefix is an explicit request, buildman will report an + error if a toolchain is not found with that prefix. The current PATH will be + searched, so it is possible to use:: + + [toolchain-prefix] + arm: arm-none-eabi- + + and buildman will find arm-none-eabi-gcc in /usr/bin if you have it + installed. + + Another example:: + + [toolchain-wrapper] + wrapper: ccache + + This tells buildman to use a compiler wrapper in front of CROSS_COMPILE. In + this example, ccache. It doesn't affect the toolchain scan. The wrapper is + added when CROSS_COMPILE environtal variable is set. The name in this + section is ignored. If more than one line is provided, only the last one + is taken. + +#. Make sure you have the require Python pre-requisites + + Buildman uses multiprocessing, Queue, shutil, StringIO, ConfigParser and + urllib2.

Sometimes commits can be in the wrong order, so that a +breakage is introduced for a few commits and fixed by later commits. This +shows up clearly with buildman. You can then reorder the commits and try +again. + +At commit 16, the error moves: you can see that the old error at line 120 +is fixed, but there is a new one at line 126. This is probably only because +we added some code and moved the broken line further down the file. + +As mentioned, if many boards have the same error, then -e will display the +error only once. This makes the output as concise as possible. To see which +boards have each error, use -l. So it is safe to omit the board name - you +will not get lots of repeated output for every board. + +Buildman tries to distinguish warnings from errors, and shows warning lines +separately with a 'w' prefix. Warnings introduced show as yellow. Warnings +fixed show as cyan. + +The full build output in this case is available in:: + + ../lcd9b/12_of_18_gd92aff7_lcd--Add-support-for/lubbock/ + +Files: + +done + Indicates the build was done, and holds the return code from make. This is 0 + for a good build, typically 2 for a failure. + +err + Output from stderr, if any. Errors and warnings appear here. + +log + Output from stdout. Normally there isn't any since buildman runs in silent + mode. Use -V to force a verbose build (this passes V=1 to 'make') + +toolchain + Shows information about the toolchain used for the build. + +sizes + Shows image size information. + +It is possible to get the build binary output there also. Use the -k option +for this. In that case you will also see some output files, like: + +- System.map +- toolchain +- u-boot +- u-boot.bin +- u-boot.map +- autoconf.mk +- SPL/TPL versions like u-boot-spl and u-boot-spl.bin if available + + +Checking Image Sizes +-------------------- + +A key requirement for U-Boot is that you keep code/data size to a minimum. +Where a new feature increases this noticeably it should normally be put +behind a CONFIG flag so that boards can leave it disabled and keep the image +size more or less the same with each new release. + +To check the impact of your commits on image size, use -S. For example:: + + $ ./tools/buildman/buildman -b us-x86 -sS + Summary of 10 commits for 1066 boards (4 threads, 1 job per thread) + 01: MAKEALL: add support for per architecture toolchains + 02: x86: Add function to get top of usable ram + x86: (for 1/3 boards) text -272.0 rodata +41.0 + 03: x86: Add basic cache operations + 04: x86: Permit bootstage and timer data to be used prior to relocation + x86: (for 1/3 boards) data +16.0 + 05: x86: Add an __end symbol to signal the end of the U-Boot binary + x86: (for 1/3 boards) text +76.0 + 06: x86: Rearrange the output input to remove BSS + x86: (for 1/3 boards) bss -2140.0 + 07: x86: Support relocation of FDT on start-up + x86: + coreboot-x86 + 08: x86: Add error checking to x86 relocation code + 09: x86: Adjust link device tree include file + 10: x86: Enable CONFIG_OF_CONTROL on coreboot + + +You can see that image size only changed on x86, which is good because this +series is not supposed to change any other board. From commit 7 onwards the +build fails so we don't get code size numbers. The numbers are fractional +because they are an average of all boards for that architecture. The +intention is to allow you to quickly find image size problems introduced by +your commits. + +Note that the 'text' region and 'rodata' are split out. You should add the +two together to get the total read-only size (reported as the first column +in the output from binutil's 'size' utility). + +A useful option is --step which lets you skip some commits. For example +--step 2 will show the image sizes for only every 2nd commit (so it will +compare the image sizes of the 1st, 3rd, 5th... commits). You can also use +--step 0 which will compare only the first and last commits. This is useful +for an overview of how your entire series affects code size. It will build +only the upstream commit and your final branch commit. + +You can also use -d to see a detailed size breakdown for each board.

This increase was offset in by reductions in rodata and +data/bss. + +Shown below the summary lines are the sizes for each board. Below each board +are the sizes for each function. This information starts with: + +add + number of functions added / removed + +grow + number of functions which grew / shrunk + +bytes + number of bytes of code added to / removed from all functions, plus the total + byte change in brackets + +The change seems to be that hash_command() has increased by more than the +do_mem_crc() function has decreased. The function sizes typically add up to +roughly the text area size, but note that every read-only section except +rodata is included in 'text', so the function total does not exactly +correspond. + +It is common when refactoring code for the rodata to decrease as the text size +increases, and vice versa. + + +.. _buildman_settings: + +The .buildman settings file +--------------------------- + +The .buildman file provides information about the available toolchains and +also allows build flags to be passed to 'make'. It consists of several +sections, with the section name in square brackets. Within each section are +a set of (tag, value) pairs. + +'[toolchain]' section + This lists the available toolchains. The tag here doesn't matter, but + make sure it is unique. The value is the path to the toolchain. Buildman + will look in that path for a file ending in 'gcc'. It will then execute + it to check that it is a C compiler, passing only the --version flag to + it. If the return code is 0, buildman assumes that it is a valid C + compiler. It uses the first part of the name as the architecture and + strips off the last part when setting the CROSS_COMPILE environment + variable (parts are delimited with a hyphen). + + For example powerpc-linux-gcc will be noted as a toolchain for 'powerpc' + and CROSS_COMPILE will be set to powerpc-linux- when using it. + +'[toolchain-alias]' section + This converts toolchain architecture names to U-Boot names. For example, + if an x86 toolchains is called i386-linux-gcc it will not normally be + used for architecture 'x86'. Adding 'x86: i386 x86_64' to this section + will tell buildman that the i386 and x86_64 toolchains can be used for + the x86 architecture. + +'[make-flags]' section + U-Boot's build system supports a few flags (such as BUILD_TAG) which + affect the build product. These flags can be specified in the buildman + settings file. They can also be useful when building U-Boot against other + open source software. + + [make-flags] + at91-boards=ENABLE_AT91_TEST=1 + snapper9260=${at91-boards} BUILD_TAG=442 + snapper9g45=${at91-boards} BUILD_TAG=443 + + This will use 'make ENABLE_AT91_TEST=1 BUILD_TAG=442' for snapper9260 + and 'make ENABLE_AT91_TEST=1 BUILD_TAG=443' for snapper9g45. A special + variable ${target} is available to access the target name (snapper9260 + and snapper9g20 in this case). Variables are resolved recursively. Note + that variables can only contain the characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9, hyphen (-) + and underscore (_). + + It is expected that any variables added are dealt with in U-Boot's + config.mk file and documented in the README. + + Note that you can pass ad-hoc options to the build using environment + variables, for example: + + SOME_OPTION=1234 ./tools/buildman/buildman my_board + + +Quick Sanity Check +------------------ + +If you have made changes and want to do a quick sanity check of the +currently checked-out source, run buildman without the -b flag. This will +build the selected boards and display build status as it runs (i.e. -v is +enabled automatically). Use -e to see errors/warnings as well. + + +Building Ranges +--------------- + +You can build a range of commits by specifying a range instead of a branch +when using the -b flag. For example:: + + buildman -b upstream/master..us-buildman + +will build commits in us-buildman that are not in upstream/master. + + +Building Faster +--------------- + +By default, buildman doesn't execute 'make mrproper' prior to building the +first commit for each board. This reduces the amount of work 'make' does, and +hence speeds up the build. To force use of 'make mrproper', use -the -m flag. +This flag will slow down any buildman invocation, since it increases the amount +of work done on any build. + +One possible application of buildman is as part of a continual edit, build, +edit, build, ... cycle; repeatedly applying buildman to the same change or +series of changes while making small incremental modifications to the source +each time. This provides quick feedback regarding the correctness of recent +modifications. In this scenario, buildman's default choice of build directory +causes more build work to be performed than strictly necessary. + +By default, each buildman thread uses a single directory for all builds. When a +thread builds multiple boards, the configuration built in this directory will +cycle through various different configurations, one per board built by the +thread. Variations in the configuration will force a rebuild of affected source +files when a thread switches between boards. Ideally, such buildman-induced +rebuilds would not happen, thus allowing the build to operate as efficiently as +the build system and source changes allow. buildman's -P flag may be used to +enable this; -P causes each board to be built in a separate (board-specific) +directory, thus avoiding any buildman-induced configuration changes in any +build directory. + +U-Boot's build system embeds information such as a build timestamp into the +final binary. This information varies each time U-Boot is built. This causes +various files to be rebuilt even if no source changes are made, which in turn +requires that the final U-Boot binary be re-linked. This unnecessary work can +be avoided by turning off the timestamp feature. This can be achieved by +setting the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable to 0. + +Combining all of these options together yields the command-line shown below. +This will provide the quickest possible feedback regarding the current content +of the source tree, thus allowing rapid tested evolution of the code:: + + SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=0 ./tools/buildman/buildman -P tegra + + +Checking configuration +---------------------- + +A common requirement when converting CONFIG options to Kconfig is to check +that the effective configuration has not changed due to the conversion. +Buildman supports this with the -K option, used after a build. This shows +differences in effective configuration between one commit and the next. + +For example:: + + $ buildman -b kc4 -sK + ... + 43: Convert CONFIG_SPL_USBETH_SUPPORT to Kconfig + arm: + + u-boot.cfg: CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT=1 CONFIG_SPL_NET=1 + + u-boot-spl.cfg: CONFIG_SPL_MMC=1 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SUPPORT=1 + + all: CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT=1 CONFIG_SPL_MMC=1 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SUPPORT=1 CONFIG_SPL_NET=1 + am335x_evm_usbspl : + + u-boot.cfg: CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT=1 CONFIG_SPL_NET=1 + + u-boot-spl.cfg: CONFIG_SPL_MMC=1 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SUPPORT=1 + + all: CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT=1 CONFIG_SPL_MMC=1 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SUPPORT=1 CONFIG_SPL_NET=1 + 44: Convert CONFIG_SPL_USB_HOST to Kconfig + ... + +This shows that commit 44 enabled three new options for the board +am335x_evm_usbspl which were not enabled in commit 43. There is also a +summary for 'arm' showing all the changes detected for that architecture. +In this case there is only one board with changes, so 'arm' output is the +same as 'am335x_evm_usbspl'/ + +The -K option uses the u-boot.cfg, spl/u-boot-spl.cfg and tpl/u-boot-tpl.cfg +files which are produced by a build. If all you want is to check the +configuration you can in fact avoid doing a full build, using -D. This tells +buildman to configuration U-Boot and create the .cfg files, but not actually +build the source. This is 5-10 times faster than doing a full build. + +By default buildman considers the follow two configuration methods +equivalent:: + + #define CONFIG_SOME_OPTION + + CONFIG_SOME_OPTION=y + +The former would appear in a header filer and the latter in a defconfig +file. The achieve this, buildman considers 'y' to be '1' in configuration +variables. This avoids lots of useless output when converting a CONFIG +option to Kconfig. To disable this behaviour, use --squash-config-y. + + +Checking the environment +------------------------ + +When converting CONFIG options which manipulate the default environment, +a common requirement is to check that the default environment has not +changed due to the conversion. Buildman supports this with the -U option, +used after a build. This shows differences in the default environment +between one commit and the next. + +For example:: + + $ buildman -b squash brppt1 -sU + Summary of 2 commits for 3 boards (3 threads, 3 jobs per thread) + 01: Migrate bootlimit to Kconfig + 02: Squashed commit of the following: + c brppt1_mmc: altbootcmd=mmc dev 1; run mmcboot0; -> mmc dev 1; run mmcboot0 + c brppt1_spi: altbootcmd=mmc dev 1; run mmcboot0; -> mmc dev 1; run mmcboot0 + + brppt1_nand: altbootcmd=run usbscript + - brppt1_nand: altbootcmd=run usbscript + (no errors to report) + +This shows that commit 2 modified the value of 'altbootcmd' for 'brppt1_mmc' +and 'brppt1_spi', removing a trailing semicolon. 'brppt1_nand' gained an a +value for 'altbootcmd', but lost one for ' altbootcmd'. + +The -U option uses the u-boot.env files which are produced by a build. + + +Building with clang +------------------- + +To build with clang (sandbox only), use the -O option to override the +toolchain. For example: + +.. code-block:: bash + + buildman -O clang-7 --board sandbox + + +Doing a simple build +-------------------- + +In some cases you just want to build a single board and get the full output, use +the -w option, for example: + +.. code-block:: bash + + buildman -o /tmp/build --board sandbox -w + +This will write the full build into /tmp/build including object files. You must +specify the output directory with -o when using -w. + + +Support for IDEs (Integrated Development Environments) +------------------------------------------------------ + +Normally buildman summarises the output and shows information indicating the +meaning of each line of output. For example a '+' symbol appears at the start of +each error line. Also, buildman prints information about what it is about to do, +along with a summary at the end. + +When using buildman from an IDE, it is helpful to drop this behaviour. Use the +-I/--ide option for that. You might find -W helpful also so that warnings do +not cause the build to fail: + +.. code-block:: bash + + buildman -o /tmp/build --board sandbox -wWI + + +Changing the configuration +-------------------------- + +Sometimes it is useful to change the CONFIG options for a build on the fly. This +can be used to build a board (or multiple) with a few changes to see the impact. +The -a option supports this: + +.. code-block:: bash + + -a + +where is a CONFIG option (with or without the `CONFIG_` prefix) to enable. +For example: + +.. code-block:: bash + + buildman -a CMD_SETEXPR_FMT + +will build with CONFIG_CMD_SETEXPR_FMT enabled. + +You can disable options by preceding them with tilde (~). You can specify the +-a option multiple times: + +.. code-block:: bash + + buildman -a CMD_SETEXPR_FMT -a ~CMDLINE + +Some options have values, in which case you can change them: + +.. code-block:: bash + + buildman -a 'BOOTCOMMAND="echo hello"' CONFIG_SYS_LOAD_ADDR=0x1000 + +Note that you must put quotes around string options and the whole thing must be +in single quotes, to make sure the shell leave it alone. + +If you try to set an option that does not exist, or that cannot be changed for +some other reason (e.g. it is 'selected' by another option), then buildman +shows an error:: + + $ buildman --board sandbox -a FRED + Building current source for 1 boards (1 thread, 32 jobs per thread) + 0 0 0 /1 -1 (starting)errs + Some CONFIG adjustments did not take effect. This may be because + the request CONFIGs do not exist or conflict with others. + + Failed adjustments: + + FRED Missing expected line: CONFIG_FRED=y + + +One major caveat with this feature with branches (-b) is that buildman does not +name the output directories differently when you change the configuration, so +doing the same build again with different configuration will not trigger a +rebuild. You can use -f to work around that. + + +Other options +------------- + +Buildman has various other command-line options. Try --help to see them. + +To find out what toolchain prefix buildman will use for a build, use the -A +option. + +To request that compiler warnings be promoted to errors, use -E. This passes the +-Werror flag to the compiler. Note that the build can still produce warnings +with -E, e.g. the migration warnings:: + + ===================== WARNING ====================== + This board does not use CONFIG_DM_MMC. Please update + ... + ==================================================== + +When doing builds, Buildman's return code will reflect the overall result:: + + 0 (success) No errors or warnings found + 100 Errors found + 101 Warnings found (only if no -W) + +You can use -W to tell Buildman to return 0 (success) instead of 101 when +warnings are found. Note that it can be useful to combine -E and -W. This means +that all compiler warnings will produce failures (code 100) and all other +warnings will produce success (since 101 is changed to 0). + +If there are both warnings and errors, errors win, so buildman returns 100. + +The -y option is provided (for use with -s) to ignore the bountiful device-tree +warnings. Similarly, -Y tells buildman to ignore the migration warnings. + +Sometimes you might get an error in a thread that is not handled by buildman, +perhaps due to a failure of a tool that it calls. You might see the output, but +then buildman hangs. Failing to handle any eventuality is a bug in buildman and +should be reported. But you can use -T0 to disable threading and hopefully +figure out the root cause of the build failure. + +Build summary +------------- + +When buildman finishes it shows a summary, something like this:: + + Completed: 5 total built, duration 0:00:21, rate 0.24 + +This shows that a total of 5 builds were done across all selected boards, it +took 21 seconds and the builds happened at the rate of 0.24 per second. The +latter number depends on the speed of your machine and the efficiency of the +U-Boot build. + + +How to change from MAKEALL +-------------------------- + +Buildman includes most of the features of MAKEALL and is generally faster +and easier to use. In particular it builds entire branches: if a particular +commit introduces an error in a particular board, buildman can easily show +you this, even if a later commit fixes that error. + +The reasons to deprecate MAKEALL are: +- We don't want to maintain two build systems +- Buildman is typically faster +- Buildman has a lot more features + +But still, many people will be sad to lose MAKEALL. If you are used to +MAKEALL, here are a few pointers. + +First you need to set up your tool chains - see the 'Setting up' section +for details. Once you have your required toolchain(s) detected then you are +ready to go. + +To build the current source tree, run buildman without a -b flag: + +.. code-block:: bash + + ./tools/buildman/buildman + +This will build the current source tree for the given boards and display +the results and errors. + +However buildman usually works on entire branches, and for that you must +specify a board flag: + +.. code-block:: bash + + ./tools/buildman/buildman -b + +followed by (afterwards, or perhaps concurrently in another terminal): + +.. code-block:: bash + + ./tools/buildman/buildman -b -s + +to see the results of the build. Rather than showing you all the output, +buildman just shows a summary, with red indicating that a commit introduced +an error and green indicating that a commit fixed an error. Use the -e +flag to see the full errors and -l to see which boards caused which errors. + +If you really want to see build results as they happen, use -v when doing a +build (and -e to see the errors/warnings too). + +You don't need to stick around on that branch while buildman is running. It +checks out its own copy of the source code, so you can change branches, +add commits, etc. without affecting the build in progress. + +The can include board names, architectures or the +like. There are no flags to disambiguate since ambiguities are rare. Using +the examples from MAKEALL: + +Examples:: + + - build all Power Architecture boards: + MAKEALL -a powerpc + MAKEALL --arch powerpc + MAKEALL powerpc + ** buildman -b powerpc + - build all PowerPC boards manufactured by vendor "esd": + MAKEALL -a powerpc -v esd + ** buildman -b esd + - build all PowerPC boards manufactured either by "keymile" or "siemens": + MAKEALL -a powerpc -v keymile -v siemens + ** buildman -b keymile siemens + - build all Freescale boards with MPC83xx CPUs, plus all 4xx boards: + MAKEALL -c mpc83xx -v freescale 4xx + ** buildman -b mpc83xx freescale 4xx + +Buildman automatically tries to use all the CPUs in your machine. If you +are building a lot of boards it will use one thread for every CPU core +it detects in your machine. This is like MAKEALL's BUILD_NBUILDS option. +You can use the -T flag to change the number of threads. If you are only +building a few boards, buildman will automatically run make with the -j +flag to increase the number of concurrent make tasks. It isn't normally +that helpful to fiddle with this option, but if you use the BUILD_NCPUS +option in MAKEALL then -j is the equivalent in buildman. + +Buildman puts its output in ../ by default but you can change +this with the -o option. Buildman normally does out-of-tree builds: use -i +to disable that if you really want to. But be careful that once you have +used -i you pollute buildman's copies of the source tree, and you will need +to remove the build directory (normally ../) to run buildman +in normal mode (without -i). + +Buildman doesn't keep the output result normally, but use the -k option to +do this. + +Please read 'Theory of Operation' a few times as it will make a lot of +things clearer. + +Some options you might like are:: + + -B shows which functions are growing/shrinking in which commit - great + for finding code bloat. + -S shows image sizes for each commit (just an overall summary) + -u shows boards that you haven't built yet + --step 0 will build just the upstream commit and the last commit of your + branch. This is often a quick sanity check that your branch doesn't + break anything. But note this does not check bisectability! + + +Using boards.cfg +---------------- + +This file is no-longer needed by buildman but it is still generated in the +working directory. This helps avoid a delay on every build, since scanning all +the Kconfig files takes a few seconds. Use the -R flag to force regeneration +of the file - in that case buildman exits after writing the file. with exit code +2 if there was an error in the maintainer files. + +You should use 'buildman -nv ' instead of greoing the boards.cfg file, +since it may be dropped altogether in future. + + +TODO +---- + +Many improvements have been made over the years.
