Description Nathan Zachary (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2018-11-15 03:25:26 UTC
Starting with Chromium 71, I can't compile using USE=jumbo-build as it will chew through all available memory (on one workstation, that's 24 GiB) and lock the system.  Chromium 70 didn't have this problem.

Filing this bug to discuss options for fixing the problem, or at least warning users about this potential problem with the jumbo-build USE flag.

For now, there are options to limit the number of combined source files, but that seems to be less than ideal.

I would like to better understand what changed between 70 and 71 to spur this problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Compile >=www-client/chromium-71 with jumbo-build enabled.
Actual Results:  
System locks due to running out of memory.

Expected Results:  
Compilation should succeed with 24 GiB of RAM available. :-)
Comment 1 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2018-11-15 06:12:26 UTC
It works just fine for me. I suspect something is weird on your system.

> I would like to better understand what changed between 70 and 71 to spur this problem.

We no longer force clang in >=www-client/chromium-70.0.3538.67-r1. That's the only significant change I can think of.

> Filing this bug to discuss options for fixing the problem

This is a bug tracker, not a discussion forum. If you can provide real evidence of a bug, please re-open it.
Comment 2 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2018-11-15 06:55:20 UTC
Sorry, I guess that was a little rude.

What I mean is that you really need to give me more information for me to be able to do anything useful with this. At a minimum, any bug report should include a build log and emerge --info.

Also, since I cannot reproduce the problem myself, you'll likely need to do some research to figure out the cause of the problem.
Comment 3 Nathan Zachary (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2018-11-15 16:09:43 UTC
Hi Mike,

I understand that this is not a discussion forum, and I apologise for not providing enough information.  I filed the bug for tracking because oftentimes posts in the forum are not enough to get any traction on an issue.

At first I thought it was just a problem on one of my desktop workstations, but then the same thing happened on my other desktops and laptops.  Here's the emerge --info from my main desktop:

If I need to try rebuilding it again, I can do so in order to get a full build log, but the problem seemed to happen at various times (based essentially on when it ran out of memory).  

It very likely could have something to do with going back to GCC instead of Clang.

Thank you for your feedback, and I will try to follow better standards for bug filing in the future.

Cheers,
Nathan Zachary
Comment 4 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2018-11-15 16:18:01 UTC
Please set PORT_LOGDIR="/var/log/portage" in make.conf so that portage will save copies of all build logs moving forward.

You may also set FEATURES="clean-logs" to have portage remove build logs after some number of days (7 by default).

Done on all my systems, and sometime soon I will try building Chromium 71 again with jumbo-build enabled.

Thanks for your support, Mike.
Comment 6 Nathan Zachary (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2018-11-16 04:35:39 UTC
I decided to try building it with jumbo-build on one of my laptops first (since it's not as critical of a system):

I have the full log, but it's ~90MB.  So I have attached the last lines.  At that point, all memory and then swap filled, resulting in the freeze.

Hello,
I met with the same trouble, for me the last version that built fine with USE="jumbo-build" was www-client/chromium-70.0.3538.67, www-client/chromium-70.0.3538.110 ended with an error and OOM frenzy.

Comment 10 rob 2018-12-16 20:43:31 UTC
Similar issue here. Although with-out the system freeze. However the build log - see end attached - suggests massive memory usage up until memory is full (16 GB RAM and 30 GB Swap).

I tried disabling the as-needed LDFLAG as suggested in the Gentoo forums, however that did not seem to help.

Stable Gentoo amd64 with Gentoo Kernel trying to build chromium-71.0.3578.80 on i7 M CPU with 2.9 GHz.

Comment 11 Drew 2018-12-19 14:33:30 UTC
Have the same issue. Chromium eats all memory during compile because of many threads of ninja.

ninja have the following flags:
  -j N     run N jobs in parallel [default=6, derived from CPUs available]
  -l N     do not start new jobs if the load average is greater than N

I tried to pass flags to ninja using environment variable, but they were not received:
$ sudo NINJA_FLAGS="-l 1 -j 3" ebuild /usr/portage/www-client/chromium/chromium-71.0.3578.80.ebuild compile
[skip]
>>> Compiling source in /var/tmp-ondisk/portage/www-client/chromium-71.0.3578.80/work/chromium-71.0.3578.80 ...
ninja -v -j5 -l0 -C out/Release gen/ui/accessibility/ax_enums.mojom.h gen/ui/accessibility/ax_enums.mojom-shared.h
ninja: Entering directory `out/Release'

By default ninja have CORES+1 threads and eats a lot of memory.
Comment 12 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2018-12-19 15:12:13 UTC
NINJA_FLAGS does absolutely nothing. I have no idea where you got that from.

If you want to override the arguments passed to ninja, use the NINJAOPTS variable. Otherwise, it defaults to a value based on your MAKEOPTS.
Comment 13 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2018-12-19 15:14:08 UTC
I really don't think there is anything I can do here, and nobody else has offered any useful suggestions. Giving the bug to Nathan since he insists on keeping it open.
Comment 14 Nathan Zachary (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2018-12-19 16:45:37 UTC
It's not that I insisted on keeping it open.
I reported a bug, and apparently it doesn't only happen for me.
Something clearly changed between versions 70 and 71, but if it's not important enough to keep open here, then I'll just let it go.

here is a solution: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1074724.html
Comment 16 rob 2019-03-04 17:56:45 UTC
Well for me this was not the fix.

I noticed that baselayout was updated from 2.4 to 2.6 last December after I had switched to gcc:7 standard compiler in June 2018.

Compiling gcc:7 again solved this error.

btw: I had this error documented above when compiling firefox too.
