Hi,

I'm new to guix so I'm really struggling to debug this strange issue.
On the latest master I can run 'guix pull', and the latest guix seems
to build just fine, however when I go to do 'guix system reconfigure',
building guix fails the check phase. I've attached the log file. After
some help on IRC, I understand that during 'guix system reconfigure'
ends up building a previous version of itself via the "boot-stripping"
process in gnu/packages/package-management.scm. I followed this linked
list of commits backwards and found that commits prior to commit
224d437fb4 which updates this guix package definition to version 14
which is commit 2a621f1 build just fine, however all the versions of
that package afterwards fail at the same place during 'guix system
reconfigure', in the check phase, with the same tests failing. At this
point, I think I lack sufficient knowledge of guix to debug this issue
further and it looks like cuirass is so backlogged on aarch64 that is
still hasn't gotten to building these guix versions so I can't compare
with it's build attempts. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'd
really like to be running the latest guix from master.

Thanks!

Thanks, and I've attached a graph of the same operating system
declaration from the same revision of Guix but for x86_64, along with
rendered images of both graphs.

The graphs clearly show that xorg-server is provided in two places on
aarch64. The question is why?

Thanks Leo for the help on IRC!

What we seem to have figured out is that commit 49599fab56 is almost
certainly the culprit. So the issue is that somehow using
sddm-service-type in %desktop-services on aarch64 instead of
gdm-service-type which is used an x86_64 after that commit results in
xorg-server-service-type being included twice, likely though
gdm-service-type still being included somewhere.
set-xorg-configuration is a potential culprit, although so far I
haven't' been able to make the test pass by modifying the call to
set-xorg-configuration in desktop.tmpl to explicitly pass
sddm-service-type.

The attached patch fixes the failing guix-system.sh test on aarch64.
However there are now other tests that are failing.

Some of these failing tests have been reported on guix-devel already:

Aiko has reported that the fix for 52908 did indeed fix the
"tests/guix-system.sh" problem on aarch64-linux. This means the
"service 'xorg-server' provided more than once" error has been fixed.

However, fixing that issue has revealed another. Aiko said:

So the current status is that Aiko still can't do "guix reconfigure" on
master after running "guix pull". For this reason, I have re-opened
this bug and unmerged it from 52908, since it's not exactly the same
issue any more.

At the moment, the file-needed/recursive bug that is preventing Aiko
from running "guix reconfigure" appears to be specific to aarch64-linux.
The problem was reported on guix-devel here:


Pierre Langlois did some investigation and found this information,
posted in the email thread above:

To summarize, this seems to be the problem: On aarch64-linux, when an
ELF file's dynamic section does not contain a NEEDED entry for
ld-linux-aarch64.so.1, file-needed/recursive dutifully omits that entry,
but ldd prints it (even though it is actually missing from the file's
dynamic section). This causes the file-needed/recursive test in
tests/gremlin.scm to fail because the set of entries returned by
file-needed/recursive differs from the set of entries returned by ldd.

Although this may sound similar to 52940, it is different. Bug 52940
was an issue where, when an ELF file's dynamic section contains two
entries in RUNPATH that are different strings but refer to the same
directory (which does happen on powerpc64le-linux), it causes
file-needed/recursive to include in its result two entries that are
different strings but refer to the same file. We decided that such
redundant entries are probably benign, so we resolved 52940 by changing
the test to compare entries by file equality, rather than string
equality. However, this is not the same issue as described by Aiko and
Pierre above, so it makes sense that the fix for 52940 did not fix the
test for aarch64-linux.

So, the separate aarch64-linux problem with file-needed/recursive
persists. For comparison, on powerpc64le-linux, when an ELF file's
dynamic section does not contain a NEEDED entry for "ld64.so.2" (I
believe this is the powerpc64le-linux equivalent of
ld-linux-aarch64.so.1), both ldd and file-needed/recursive include
ld64.so.2, despite the fact that there is no actual NEEDED entry for it
in the ELF file. Here is what I see on a powerpc64le-linux system:

I don't know if it's related, but I just noticed this: it's a little
strange that in the above output (for powerpc64le-linux), ld64.so.2 is
included in the second value ($2). This is supposedly the list of .so
file names that could not be found. It's strange that ld64.so.2 shows
up in $2 because it seems to contradict the fact that it is included in
$1, which is the list of files that were found successfully.

Since Pierre shared information about the libguile shared object
specifically, I'll do the same here. On powerpc64le-linux, the
"ld64.so.2" entry is present in the dynamic section of the
/gnu/store/47s31zvkhk2ixqn0z7gq6hpz7j7cn9dl-guile-3.0.7/lib/libguile-3.0.so.1
ELF file:

Maybe this information can help somehow.

It seems fishy that on aarch64-linux, there is no NEEDED entry for
ld-linux-aarch64.so.1 in the ELF files under consideration. As shown
above, a similar entry DOES exist on both x86_64-linux and
powerpc64le-linux. For this reason, it seems plausible that maybe the
missing NEEDED entry is bad. However, I don't really know enough to say
whether it's indicative of a problem with our aarch64-linux port. Is
there an aarch64-linux or ELF expert in the room who can help? :-)

It also seems fishy that, on powerpc64le-linux, file-needed/recursive
apparently resolves ld64.so.2 successfully, even though it
simultaneously includes it in the "failed to resolve" list. Confusing
as that is to me, I don't know if that's really related to the
aarch64-linux issue.

More investigation is needed...

I'm afraid I don't have any new insight if this is an issue or just
working as intended. Given we have a limited bandwidth to address this
thoroughly, would it make sense to apply a temporary work-around in the
mean time? I'd be good for at least guix to build on aarch64 in the 1.4
release.

I have the attached patch in my tree for instance (along with an update
of the guix package), and I've not noticed any issues on a rockpro64,
running cgit, DHCP and dnsmasq. That's just anecdotal :-), but I'm also
thinking if we unblock the guix package then the farm might catch other
issues that could help getting to the bottom of this.

WDYT?

Thanks,
Pierre

Hi Pierre,

FYI, it looks like you included bug-guix@gnu.org in the CC list of your
last email. If you do that, I believe it will create a new bug report,
which may not be what you intended to do.

I agree with you. That said, I don't personally run any aarch64-linux
machines, and I don't plan to investigate the aarch64-linux issue
further right now.

Although I will defer to anyone who actually runs aarch64-linux and
knows better, at the moment to me it seems reasonable to commit a patch
like the one you've proposed in order to ensure that the "guix" package
builds successfully on that platform for the 1.4.0 release. The fact
that you have successfully built and used various pieces of software on
aarch64-linux with this patch suggests that maybe the current behavior
is OK, after all.

I've made some rather trivial modifications to your patch, mainly to
make it conform to our required ChangeLog format. If nobody has further
comments, I will commit the attached version to master in about 24
hours.

I've committed this in 24c3485bb3ffc05e687ef6513ac287b8d3048bab. We
still need to update the "guix" package, so even if you run "guix pull"
right now, you won't be able to successfully build "guix" after pulling
on aarch64-linux yet.

I will coordinate with the other people who are helping to make the
1.4.0 release to ensure that this fix makes it into the 1.4.0 release.
See this guix-devel email thread for details:

FWIW, I can also confirm that updating the "guix" package to a version
that contains 24c3485bb3ffc05e687ef6513ac287b8d3048bab allows the "guix"
package (which contains the fairly important "guix-daemon"), to build
again. Thanks for getting it that far!

Haven't been able to upgrade my aarch64 systems without local patches
for over a month now... glad to see a fix is *almost* ready!

Is there anything in particular holding back upating the guix package
(other than the huge amount of big merges in progress, release
preparation, etc. and etc.)?


Thanks everyone!

I went ahead and pushed to master:

f758ede583ef9662963873750206540f58ff3c45 gnu: guix: update to 1.3.0-22.24c3485.

I tried building a newer version, but there were new test suite failures
on both aarch64 and x86_64 :/

Happy aarch64ing!

Since the 'guix' package still does not build on aarch64, I'm reopening
this bug.

Oh it doesn't? What hash are you on?

I'm currently on b14a1cdef571c0901f716f4e752a97e8028ccbbd on a RockPro64
and it's working OK, maybe something changed since then although this
hash isn't very old. I see the farm does not have any substitutes yet.

Thanks,
Pierre

I'm not using aarch64, so I can't give a commit hash. I am observing the
build farm's support for aarch64.

As you point out, the build farm cannot build it:


Maybe it's a problem with in the 'guix' package, maybe in the some other
package. But the effect for users is the same, and they report things
like this:

Oh I see, I'm not familiar with how the infra works, but it looks like
aarch64 jobs aren't currently scheduled at all: https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/337714/details

Maybe we could restart it and see if we can reproduce the problem? I
wonder if there's a good reason for jobs not being scheduled, I saw
recent commits regarding new aarch64 HW being set up.

I'll be happy to help debug build issues when we know more of course!

Thanks,
Pierre

It looks to me that there were problems with the guix package on
aarch64-linux, but it's working currently.


Also, substitute availability for aarch64-linux and armhf-linux is
OK. Does that mean this issue can be closed?

Thanks,

Chris

The guix package for armhf-linux is not built anymore by
ci.guix.gnu.org, but guix for aarch64-linux seems to be working.

Closing,
