  To: dev; +Cc: Neil Horman, thomas, david.marchand, mdr

Since we've moved away from our initial validate-abi.sh script, in
favor of check-abi.sh, which uses libabigail, remove the old script from
the tree, and update the docs accordingly

 -------------------------
 
 The ``devtools`` directory in the DPDK source tree contains a utility program,
-``validate-abi.sh``, for validating the DPDK ABI based on the Linux `ABI
-Compliance Checker
-<http://ispras.linuxbase.org/index.php/ABI_compliance_checker>`_.
+``check-abi.sh``, for validating the DPDK ABI based on the libabigail `abidiff
+utility: <https://sourceware.org/libabigail/manual/abidiff.html>`_
 
-This has a dependency on the ``abi-compliance-checker`` and ``and abi-dumper``
-utilities which can be installed via a package manager. For example::
+The syntax of the ``check-abi.sh`` utility is::
 
-   sudo yum install abi-compliance-checker
-   sudo yum install abi-dumper
+   ./devtools/check-abi.sh <refdir> <newdir>
 
-The syntax of the ``validate-abi.sh`` utility is::
+Where <refdir> specifies the directory housing the reference build of dpdk, and
+<newdir> specifies the dpdk build directory to check the abi of
 
-   ./devtools/validate-abi.sh <REV1> <REV2>
+Example:
+To compare your build branch to the ABI of the master branch
+after you have built your branch
 
-Where ``REV1`` and ``REV2`` are valid gitrevisions(7)
-https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitrevisions.html
-on the local repo.
+#.        $ cd <path to dpdk src tree>
+#.        $ mkdir ~/ref
+#.        $ git clone --local --no-hardlinks --single-branch -b master . ~/ref 
+#.        $ cd ~/ref
+#.        $ cp <path to dpdk src tree from above>/.config ./.config
+#.        $ make defconfig
+#.        $ make
+#.        $ <path to dpdk src tree>/devtools/check-abi.sh ~/ref <path to dpdk src tree>
 
-For example::
-
-   # Check between the previous and latest commit:
-   ./devtools/validate-abi.sh HEAD~1 HEAD
-
-   # Check on a specific compilation target:
-   ./devtools/validate-abi.sh -t x86_64-native-linux-gcc HEAD~1 HEAD
-
-   # Check between two tags:
-   ./devtools/validate-abi.sh v2.0.0 v2.1.0
-
-   # Check between git master and local topic-branch "vhost-hacking":
-   ./devtools/validate-abi.sh master vhost-hacking
-
-After the validation script completes (it can take a while since it need to
-compile both tags) it will create compatibility reports in the
-``./abi-check/compat_report`` directory. Listed incompatibilities can be found
-as follows::
-
-  grep -lr Incompatible abi-check/compat_reports/

check-abi.sh appears to be backward step in terms of usability.

With validate-abi.sh I do can do a "validate-abi.sh HEAD~1 HEAD".
And it will do the build, install, dump and comparison for me. 
And it picked up my 20.0.2 - > 21.0 changes no problem. 

With check-abi on the other hand, I need to the build and install myself.
check-abi requires dump files, but I see no reference in the documentation to how these are created.
It silently fails when it doesn't find any ...

Do I run abi-dumper on the so's myself, or how does it work?

No, check-abi.sh benefits from a nice integration in build scripts.
See below.

check-abi.sh is integrated in test-build.sh and test-meson-builds.sh.
Probably we should document usage in these scripts.

Looks like I need to set DPDK_ABI_REF_VERSION=master, not obvious.
Any tips or tricks would be welcome.

export DPDK_ABI_REF_VERSION=v20.02
or
export DPDK_ABI_REF_VERSION=v19.11

Depends on which compatibility you want to test...

Few things ...

1. test-meson-build.sh keep barfing complaining about reference paths.
ValueError: dst_dir must be absolute, got reference/v19.11/build-gcc-static/usr/local/share/dpdk/examples/bbdev_app

Under the hood, ninja install is failing complaining that it needs an absolute path.
I fixed this in test_meson_build.sh and will send a patch in a minute. 
Though it's strange no-one else has seen it?

2. test-meson-build.sh compares the abi for the static builds, which doesn't make any sense. 

3. test-meson-build.sh will only take a branch in DPDK_ABI_REF_VERSION that exists locally.
In order to get it to compare HEAD against HEAD~1, which you would imagine is a pretty common case.
I had a create a branch for HEAD~1, in validate-abi this a pretty simple `validate-abi HEAD~1 HEAD`

Thanks,

Ray K

I set an absolute path in DPDK_ABI_REF_DIR.
Not sure you can really fix it. What would be the root dir?

Yes

Why is it a common case? You want to compare with a tag. Why something else?

Figure it out at runtime, check with realpath, if DPDK_ABI_REF_DIR is not set?
Or at the very least test_meson_build.sh should barf, if DPDK_ABI_REF_DIR is not set when $DPDK_ABI_REF_VERSION is set.

I disagree, perhaps it's just me as a contributor.
My first action is to check that _my_ submission has done no harm. 
Assuming that the origin's HEAD is more than likely good, I check my changes against it.

I assume that anything else that has changed between the origin's HEAD and v19.11, someone somewhere else has approved. 
So why would I compare against v19.11,  when I only want to check that the changes I have made have caused no harm.

 I think this code in test-meson-build.sh should probably be fixed:

if [ ! -d $abirefdir/src ]; then
                                git clone --local --no-hardlinks \
                                        --single-branch \
                                        -b $DPDK_ABI_REF_VERSION \
                                        $srcdir $abirefdir/src
                        fi

Like you noted, using -b allows us to checkout a tag/branch in the cloned
repository but requires that it exist locally.  We should probably prefix the
checkout with a git fetch --tags

I don't understand your concern.
A reference is an older version, so it should be in the git tree.

yes, but not unless you've done a recent pull or fetch.  If you set
DPDK_ABI_REF_VERSION to a tag/branch that didn't exist as of the last time you
updated the tree, it won't be there (which it sounds like what is being
encountered here).  You can fix that by doing a git pull or git fetch prior to
running this script (or internal to the script)

Sorry I still don't understand the case.
We want to compare the current version C with a reference R which is older.
If the reference R is not in the tree, it means the version C is not in the tree.
But C is the current version, so it is in the tree by definition.

     Local GIT copy                 DPDK.ORG



If a user clones from dpdk.org when dpdk 19.11 is tagged in the tree, or any
time before dpdk 20.11 is tagged, then creates a feature branch, they may want
to compare their abi to the latest stable version.  If they check dpdk.org and
see that dpdk 20.11 is the latest tag in the tree, they can run check-abi.sh
with the reference tag specified as 20.11, which exists in the dpdk.org tree,
but may not have been pulled into their local copy yet.

I'm not saying this is definately what happened, but it would explain the
reported observations.

Ah, So its not the problem i was describing, I think the problem you are seeing
is that the -b option only operates on branches and tags, not arbitrary git
revisions.

To fix that, what we probably need to do is alter test-build.sh and
test-meson-build.sh such that the git clone operation is preceded by something
like this:
git tag ABI_CHECK_TAG $DPDK_ABI_REF_VERSION

git clone ....

git tag -d ABI_CHECK_TAG

Doing so will guarantee that the source tree has a tag reference that the git
clone operation can use to do a checkout with a -b option on.

OK now I understand.
The user specified a reference which is not in his local tree.
I vote for considering this case as an user mistake,
and document it as a limitation of the tool integration in our build
testing scripts.

I don't see the benefit of such test.
Can we just document that the reference must be an existing tag?

We could, but like Ray said, if you want people to use this, you'll want to make
it easy for them.  Many people will want to test the ABI against a well known
tag, but some are going to want to test against an arbitrary version (i.e.
against the merge base of their feature branch and the point they branched
from), which means they will attempt to check against an arbitrary hash value or
non-tag symbolic reference.  Theres no reason we can't enable that, the only
reason it doesn't work is because of an ideosyncracy of the git branch command,
and the above fixes that.

* [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4] devtools: remove old ABI validation script
  2020-04-16 14:54 [dpdk-dev] [PATCHv3] Remove validate-abi.sh from tree Neil Horman

From: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com>

Since we've moved away from our initial validate-abi.sh script,
in favor of check-abi.sh, which uses libabigail,
remove the old script from the tree, and update the docs accordingly.

No progress was done during a month after discussions about
the usage example.

This v4 fixes punctuation and replaces the usage example based on make
with a link to the recommendation in doc/guides/contributing/patches.rst.

Applied quickly for 20.05.

 -------------------------
 
 The ``devtools`` directory in the DPDK source tree contains a utility program,
-``validate-abi.sh``, for validating the DPDK ABI based on the Linux `ABI
-Compliance Checker
-<http://ispras.linuxbase.org/index.php/ABI_compliance_checker>`_.
+``check-abi.sh``, for validating the DPDK ABI based on the libabigail
+`abidiff utility <https://sourceware.org/libabigail/manual/abidiff.html>`_.
 
-This has a dependency on the ``abi-compliance-checker`` and ``and abi-dumper``
-utilities which can be installed via a package manager. For example::
+The syntax of the ``check-abi.sh`` utility is::
 
-   sudo yum install abi-compliance-checker
-   sudo yum install abi-dumper
+   devtools/check-abi.sh <refdir> <newdir>
 
-The syntax of the ``validate-abi.sh`` utility is::
+Where <refdir> specifies the directory housing the reference build of DPDK,
+and <newdir> specifies the DPDK build directory to check the ABI of.
 
-   ./devtools/validate-abi.sh <REV1> <REV2>
-
-Where ``REV1`` and ``REV2`` are valid gitrevisions(7)
-https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitrevisions.html
-on the local repo.
-
-For example::
-
-   # Check between the previous and latest commit:
-   ./devtools/validate-abi.sh HEAD~1 HEAD
-
-   # Check on a specific compilation target:
-   ./devtools/validate-abi.sh -t x86_64-native-linux-gcc HEAD~1 HEAD
-
-   # Check between two tags:
-   ./devtools/validate-abi.sh v2.0.0 v2.1.0
-
-   # Check between git master and local topic-branch "vhost-hacking":
-   ./devtools/validate-abi.sh master vhost-hacking
-
-After the validation script completes (it can take a while since it need to
-compile both tags) it will create compatibility reports in the
-``./abi-check/compat_report`` directory. Listed incompatibilities can be found
-as follows::
-
-  grep -lr Incompatible abi-check/compat_reports/
+The ABI compatibility is automatically verified when using a build script
+from ``devtools``, if the variable ``DPDK_ABI_REF_VERSION`` is set with a tag,
+as described in :ref:`ABI check recommendations<integrated_abi_check>`.
