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 upstream mirroring system is now fully automatic

by Paul Sokolovsky

Hello, I would start with saying that we with Milo and Ben today fixed admin access issue with Gerrit, https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android-infrastructure/+bug/1185061 . It's unclear why it happened, and there're existing 3rd-party reports of it, so I suggest all Gerrit admin to look at bug to be aware of symptoms and report them ASAP if they reoccur. Otherwise, upgrading to Gerrit 2.5 finally allowed us to automatically mirror new AOSP projects as they appear, without compromising security. I also improved detection method of new projects - previously we used manifest from master branch as the source, but as not all projects listed there, we missed some. I switched to using list of projects as provided by gitweb at https://android.googlesource.com/ , and that picked up bunch of new projects. So, from now on, we should have truly complete AOSP mirror all the time. To remind we sync existing projects twice a day and pick up new once a day. Follow up if you think that needs adjustment. Gerrit/mirror also proved to be quite stable during previous exploitation, and now should be fairly feature-complete, and as ITS folks are proactive with supporting services after migration, so I guess this signifies point where LAVA team can hand over Gerrit/mirror to them for ongoing maintenance. Philip, Ben, let me know is that's ok with you. That means that any users of Gerrit and Android upstream mirror are welcome to report any issues directly to its(a)linaro.org (cc: infrastructure(a)linaro.org , so we know how well it goes). The rest on Android infra issue should still go to https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android-infrastructure/ (well, if you want LAVA team to react to it first). Philip, Ben, all notes Gerrit/mirror are reachable from https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/Gerrit . That's not intended to duplicate official docs, but should provide fairly complete reference of typical usecases and issues we faced. Caveat: it may be not always up to date. Feel free to "officially" request improvements to docs via https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android-infrastructure/ (besides just consulting via irc/email of course). I'm excited about these changes - it's first time in 2-month marathon I really feel that migration brings stabilization and improvements to our process and infrastructure. I'm sure that over coming months more improvements will be made and that feeling will be shared by all teams in Linaro.
