Currently .go files embed randomly-generated symbols stemming from
‘syntax-session-id’, which prevents reproducible builds (see

One way to fix it would be to allow users to specify a random seed used
when generating session ids, and to make that available as a
command-line option to ‘guild compile’. (GCC does something similar
with its ‘-frandom-seed’ option.)

Probably, ‘syntax-session-id’ would have to be a SRFI-39 parameter and
we would need a ‘fresh-syntax-session-id’ procedure that would take a
seed as a parameter. In turn, ‘fresh_syntax_session_id’ would need to
take that extra argument, and it would need to be changed to not read
directly from /dev/urandom.

WDYT?

We could add this, but it is not analogous to the -frandom-seed option
where it is okay to give it the same value everywhere. Users would need
to ensure that distinct session-ids are used for every invocation of
Guile.

More precisely, users of this feature would need to observe the
following restriction, or else unspecified behavior may result:

If A.go is generated by a Guile session with session-id A, and
B.go is generated by a Guile session with session-id B, and
they are both loaded into a Guile session with session-id C, then
A, B, and C must all be distinct session-ids.

One more thing: even with a deterministic session-id, the multi-threaded
compiling of *.go files recently added to Guix will lead to
non-deterministic outputs. I'm not sure how to make this work
deterministically with concurrency. Even if we switched to a fixed
number of concurrent processes with one thread each, when process A
attempts to load a .go file that is produced by process B, it is not
deterministic whether it will be there. If it is there, the macros in
that .go file will contain B's session-id, and if not, they will contain
A's session-id.

This might adversely affect the efficiency of our macro expander on
platforms with slow thread local variables, and I'm not sure what it
would buy us. If the idea is that it would allow us to build things in
multiple threads, I think that won't work anyway, for the reasons given
above.

I'm not entirely sure I've not made a mistake in my thinking, however.

Mark

With GCC the common idiom is to use ‘-frandom-seed=$source_file’.

However, it would be best if ‘guild compile’ would choose the seed
deterministically by default somehow, because we cannot expect all users
to add the new flag and use properly.

What about having ‘guild compile’ use the canonical file name of the
source being compiled (or a hash thereof) as the seed?

Right.

I wonder if we could detect collisions. Ideally each .go could record
its session ID, but that’s probably not feasible in 2.0.

Hmm, OK. Well, let’s keep this use case aside for now.

I was just thinking that it would be a convenient interface for (scripts
compile) to specify the session ID to use.

I think the first thing to do is to change ‘fresh_syntax_session_id’ so
that they can use a user-specified seed, when available, instead of
‘scm_i_random_bytes_from_platform’.

WDYT?

Thanks for working on it! :-)

I've given this more thought, and I think I have a way that avoids
session-ids altogether.

Currently, we include both the session-id and a global gensym counter in
the names of freshly generated marks and labels in psyntax.scm.
Instead, let them include the module name and a per-module counter.

More later...

I've attached a preliminary implementation of this idea, but I'm not yet
confident in its correctness.

I think you shouldn't worry about this. The VM keeps a pointer to the
current thread, and accesses the dynamic state / dynamic stack from
there. There are no pthread_getkey calls when accessing parameters in
the normal case.

Looks pretty good to me but I think we should put it off until after
2.0.12, just so we can get the release out the door. WDYT?

On the other hand, maybe including it in 2.0.12 is the right thing;
dunno. What do you think?

87bmxxnjd7.fsf@gnu.org
Hi!

[sent to guile-devel yesterday, probably should have gone here]

I have rebased Mark's patch to master and added a fix on top of that,
needed on 2.1 to pass make check.

Also, I found that to pass make check these patches depend on
(yesterday's) latest master commit

Use atomics for async interrupts

that patch seems to depend on (at least git rebase-wise)

Deprecate user asyncs
Deprecate arbiters
Fold 2.1.4 news into 2.2 news

Having these 6 patches on top op 2.1.4 has guile produce deterministic
.go files...mostly.

My client code is seems to be happy with this, however Guix tells me
that some files are still not deterministic:

lib/guile/2.2/ccache/ice-9/peg/cache.go
lib/guile/2.2/ccache/system/repl/coop-server.go
lib/libguile-2.2.so.0.0.0

and in Guix's debug output (only after I removed this hoping to get
guile-next reproducible, guix informed me about the plain output
nondeterminism?)

lib/guile/2.2/ccache/ice-9/peg/cache.go.debug
lib/guile/2.2/ccache/web/server/http.go.debug

Any ideas on what's causing this remaining nondeterminism?

Greetings,
Jan.

Did you look at these differences with diffoscope? That would be
useful.

I’ve committed something similar but that honors ‘SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH’.
So by default there’s no difference compared to the previous behavior,
but if ‘SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH’ is given, then it is used as the build date.

Thanks!

I built it with ‘guix build --rounds=2 -K’ and got 17 differing .go
files. I looked at srfi/srfi-9/gnu.go with ediff + hexl-mode in Emacs
and found a dozen of “t-XYZ” and “tmp-XYZ” identifiers with a different
value for XYZ (an integer).

To be continued…

To demonstrate non-reproducibility (with the attached patch, which is a
rebased version of Mark’s), just build the same module twice: once with
its dependency evaluated, and then with its dependency compiled. The
results differ:

This is fixed by introducing a “per-module gensym” (patch attached; to
be applied on top of the previous one). That way, the sequence number
in generated identifiers only depends on the module being compiled, not
on whether other modules are being interpreted or not.

The ‘module-gensym’ procedure I added adds a hash of the module name in
the identifier, to distinguish from symbols introduced by ‘gensym’.
This makes symbols 3–4 characters longer; perhaps we could avoid it.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

With the attached patch I can build ‘stable-2.0’ with --rounds=2 and
there are no discrepancies.

I’ll apply it next week if there are no objections.

Next I’ll adjust it for ‘master’.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

This introduces a race condition when expanding from multiple threads at
once. Any plan here?

Good point! We could grab a per-module mutex for that, though that’s
again a fat mutex.

Thoughts?

I would use atomic boxes if possible, but they are in another module :/
Even mutexes aren't directly available in boot-9 any more... Alternately
we can make a new primitive for module-generate-unique-id! which can
obviously use C. That's probably the easiest option, sadly!

Applied as commit 84a740d86a5afd235f1b47ac66c88db010b1d56b in master (2.1).

I haven’t yet done a --rounds=2 build of master, but hopefully that’ll
be fine!

I've just stumpled upon this as within Nixpkgs we have a pending [PR]
that references this issue. Since it reads as if it should be solved in
Guile 2.1+ but still occurs for us in nixpkgs when using parallel builds
(aka using multiple cores in a single build) I thought it might be a
good to get in touch.

Updating our expression to Guile 3.0.2 did not fix the reproducibility
issues either (when built using multiple cores).

I've just now tried a Guix 1.1.0 QEMU image and invoked `guix build
--round=2 -K guile --check -c 8` and it also wasn't reproducible. A
bunch of .go files showed differences between the builds.

Am I missings something?

Would gladly help if there is something I can do.

Hello!

I've hit a .go non-reproducibility issue fairly trivially on
core-updates. I think it sufficed to change a core library file (e.g.,
commit 7102c18678dc02d5ee6c77a9a70ae344482af841 which touched (guix
build utils)) and then attempting to build something with --rounds=2
flagged it:

I'm not *positive* this is the same issue, but disabling parallelism
building the Debian package of guix appears to fix reproducibility of
almost all of the .go files... (the one exception is gnu/ci.go embeds
the build path, and just filed a bug for that: #44835)


Notice the somewhat arbitrary list of different gnu/packages/*.scm files
and arbitrary order:

./usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/guile/3.0/site-ccache/gnu/packages/admin.go

strings --all --bytes=8 {}

While building in serial rather than parallel is a significant slowdown,
it seems like being able to build reproducibly might be worth the cost,
at least for certain guix variants, such as the package used for
guix-daemon... I'll likely disable parallel building for the next guix
upload to Debian, at least. :)

Parallel builds with guile-3.0.9 still introduce non-determinism

so it is not just a simple ordering issue, but certain entries are
missing or replaced.
Is there an equivalent of objdump for .go files to see what is in there?
