build log

Starting with 4.10.0rc1 the installation of Samba on my various Arm devices hangs during the compile phase. I have three of them, a Raspi 1 (armv6-j) an Raspi 3 and a LXC on my router (both armv7-a). Samba-4.9.x works flawlessly. 

I have tried many thing, including to install from the straight sources - and I have noticed, that I could provoke similar hang-ups when using a configure with parallel threads, e.g. "./configure -j4". This is strongly discouraged by the Samba team, as it seems to provoke those hangs. 

To further investigate the issue, I put the samba ebuild in my local overlay and exchanged the wav-configure by a plain standard configure... Here's the corresponding diff: 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
circe /usr # diff portage/net-fs/samba/samba-4.10.2.ebuild local/overlay/net-fs/samba/samba-4.10.1.ebuild
136d135
<       "${FILESDIR}/${PN}-4.10.0-disable_gnutls_build_fix.patch"
225a225,226
> #     CPPFLAGS="-I${SYSROOT}${EPREFIX}/usr/include/et ${CPPFLAGS}" \
> #             waf-utils_src_configure ${myconf[@]}
227c228
<               waf-utils_src_configure ${myconf[@]}
---
>       econf ${myconf[@]}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a very dubious hack - but it build successfully. In my eyes this looks like a bug in waf-utils_src_configure. Numerous experiments with installing and removing various packages did change the configure item, last seen in the log. But I could not overcome the problem.

My samba use flags are these:
net-fs/samba client addc winbind smbclient ldb netapi -system-mitkrb5 -system-heimdal syslog addns ldap gnutls json -cups python3_6
This means, I've got a Samba AD-DC with embedded Heimdal...

This is the outcome of emerge --info:

Comment 4 James L. Hammons 2019-07-09 00:50:45 UTC
Was running into the same exact hang as Peter in comment #1 (on x86), I was able to get it past the config hang by using his ebuild patch against version 4.10.5 and get it to successfully build and install.

Not sure what's causing the hang, but it sure looks like WAF is to blame.
Comment 5 Will Simoneau 2019-07-09 12:25:22 UTC
Same problem here too on sparc with MAKEOPTS="-j128 -l180" while attempting to build samba-4.10.2. Downgrading to samba-4.8.6-r2 - along with the requisite downgrades to talloc, tevent, tdb, and ldb - resulted in a successful build.
Comment 6 Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2019-07-09 13:43:44 UTC
Unfortunately the waf-utils.eclass is in "maintainer-needed" state and I don't know WAF good enough to investigate this issue as thoroughly as necessary.

Changing "waf-utils_src_configure" to plain "econf" is a very ugly workaround and nothing I wanna put into our official ebuilds because samba requires WAF.

Hi, same problem here (armv7).
Downgrading samba to 4.8.6-r2 is working for me.
Comment 8 Xavier Miller (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2019-10-01 07:08:16 UTC
samba-4.9.13 is OK too
Comment 9 Ben Kohler gentoo-dev 2020-01-09 15:40:40 UTC
I'm trying to reproduce this, without success so far.  Can you guys try to gather some more details, like perhaps a process tree from "ps faux" while the configure is hung?

ps -faux > hung.txt while configure has hung

Here is the requested information.
The CPU utilization is varying - but the process is hung. In this case it hung here:

Checking for _pread                                                                             : not found
Checking for __pread                                                                            : not found
Checking for pwrite                                                                             : ok
Checking for _pwrite                                                                            :

The exact position, where it hangs is depending, e.g. on Makeopts, i.e. the number of parallel building threads. But even with a lot of experimentation I could not find a clear pattern.

Hi,

It happens also on arm (armv7). Don't know why x86 was added on the title.

For me (armv7, Marvel Armada388, helios4), now, it's stuck some lines after __dup :

Well, raffaele_at_gentoo reported the hangup to happen on i386, too. 

I have the problem on several armv7-a machines, which serve as my Samba Domain Controllers. On RaspberryPi, on my TurrisOmnia router (in a VM) and on a Cubietruck.

Yes, and on all versions >= 4

Version 3 compiles and run fine.

For me the issue started with 4.10.0 on, so it is there on 4.10.x and 4.11.x. IIRC it started with the first 4.10.0_rc I tried.

Sorry... >= 4.10 is NOK (so is 4.11)
but <= 4.9 is OK as you pointed out
Comment 18 Ben Kohler gentoo-dev 2020-02-10 15:34:55 UTC
Ok I can reproduce this pretty reliably in an x86 qemu VM now.  I was not able to repro at all in a chroot.  I'll see if I can figure anything out here.
Comment 19 Ben Kohler gentoo-dev 2020-02-10 17:49:49 UTC
What I know so far:

I can reproduce this every single attempt on my 4-cpu "qemu-system-i386 enable-kvm -cpu pentium2 -smp 4" VM.  It's autodetecting 4 configure jobs here, not respecting MAKEOPTS.  It hangs on "Checking for getgrset" or "Checking for getmntent" every time.

Tried moving up to python3.7, no change.  Tried FEATURES="-sandbox -userpriv -usersandbox -pid-sandbox -network-sandbox -ipc-sandbox" to rule out most common portage-induced issues, no change.

I can get it to work if I append "--jobs 1" to myconf (to be passed to waf configure).  I can get it to fail if I pass any job count higher than 1.

The configure phase doesn't seem to actually go faster with 4 jobs, there are 4 python processes but all but 1 are idle.  
On my i5-2310 CPU (amd64 where configure succeeds):
 configure --jobs 4: 1m11s
 configure --jobs 1: 1m9s

So I'm tempted to just force 1 configure job.

    net-fs/samba: disable broken parallel configure
    
    When parallel configure works, it was slower than --jobs 1 anyway.

Comment 21 Peter Serbe 2020-02-10 19:51:12 UTC
You guys are faster on closing the bug than I can run the patched ebuild on my Raspi... ;-) But anyway: I can confirm, that the proposed patch fixes the hanging configure on Arm.

But what still leaves me a bit unsure, is, that at least the Gentoo supplied WAF-tools seem to ignore even at global MAKEOPTS="-j1" in make.conf. Even more so, as quite a few of those Arm-based boards have only a very restricted amount of memory on board, which is known to be problematic for parallel builds. 

But Thank You, Ben, for fixing it!
Comment 22 Ben Kohler gentoo-dev 2020-02-10 19:57:30 UTC
What we found is that waf-utils eclass is translating your MAKEOPTS jobs to a job parameter for the compile phase (https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/eclass/waf-utils.eclass#n111) but not for configure phase.

Forcing --jobs 1 in the ebuild is what we want here, regardless of whether more than one cpu is detected OR more than 1 job is already set in MAKEOPTS.

But it may be true for the general case that we want waf-utils eclass to start passing MAKEOPTS in the configure phase... that would be a new bug report I think.
Comment 23 Peter Serbe 2020-02-10 20:07:22 UTC
I think by myselft, that the waf-utils-eclass should default any configure-option to 1 job. It did hit Samba - but possibly it could happen to pop up on some other package using WAF, too. 
On the other hand: a search would immediately point to this bug report - and make on trying out to add that --job 1 in the ebuild...

Thanks Ben for pushing this forward.
