[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] ci: hook to Github Actions

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] ci: hook to Github Actions

[David Marchand]

With the recent changes in terms of free access to the Travis CI, let's
offer an alternative with Github Actions.
Running jobs on ARM is not supported unless using external runners, so
this commit only adds builds for x86_64 and cross compiling for i386 and
aarch64.

Differences with the Travis CI integration:
- All jobs generate documentation.
  This is not that heavy and the default timeout on actions is never
  reached so no reason splitting this into multiple jobs.
- Error logs are not dumped to the console when something goes wrong.
  Instead, they are gathered in a "catch-all" step and attached as
  artifacts.
- A cache entry is stored once and for all, but if no cache is found you
  can inherit from the default branch cache. The cache is 5GB large, for
  the whole git repository.
- The maximum retention of logs and artifacts is 3 months.
- /home/runner is world writable, so a workaround has been added for
  starting dpdk processes.

Thanks for working on this.  Sadly, I think we will have to abandon
Travis soon - given the new changes it is looking very awful.  Robot
already is starved for job time.

Since we don't have ARM test runs, I guess we will have to rely on
something else for that coverage now, but I like that there is coverage
included at least to compile.

I will need to update the robot to pull information from github actions,
so for now it will need to be manually checked (but here's an example of
a run: https://github.com/ovsrobot/dpdk/actions/runs/382073265).  What's
nice is the robot is already primed to run the jobs, so that's good.

For ARM test runs, UNH is a good candidate but nothing prevents other
ARM based CI from being added.

Thanks.
I added a bookmark to https://github.com/ovsrobot/dpdk/actions for now.

I am looking at [1], is DPDK not considered as open source project?

Is it possible to keep Travis CI for Arm?

Is there any guarantee that GitHub actions will be free forever?

Ilya (@OVS) contacted the Travis support.
The reply is that a project that has sponsored contributors can not
ask for free tokens on Travis CI.

I personally did not try to contact their support given this response.

For individuals, the 10k credits with the current DPDK jobs get burned
in something like 4 runs (read: 4 runs a month).
Even if we narrow the configuration to only ARM, this will at best
give us x3, so let's say 12 runs a month.

Now consider the ovsrobot and the number of series that hit the list
on a worst^Wbest day like a week before rc1.

There is no "forever".
At least, UNH lab which the project sponsors seems viable on the mid/long term.

I think we are spending our efforts on things that will not work for the community in the long run (unless the project spends money to buy credits)

Yes, agree, all the more reason to continue to maintain the lab.

That was not the initial goal of the patch, but GHA can be used by
developers who work on their github forks too, like for testing before
submitting to the public ml.

On spending efforts, the lab should be the priority.
My main concern was to get ABI checks back quickly since 21.02
proposals started to hit the list.
A ticket has been opened for the lab to handle this, but this can take
some time so in the interim we have GHA support.

I sent the v2 with ABI checks.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 1/2] ci: hook to GitHub Actions

[David Marchand]

With the recent changes in terms of free access to the Travis CI, let's
offer an alternative with GitHub Actions.
Running jobs on ARM is not supported unless using external runners, so
this commit only adds builds for x86_64 and cross compiling for i386 and
aarch64.

Differences with the Travis CI integration:
- Error logs are not dumped to the console when something goes wrong.
  Instead, they are gathered in a "catch-all" step and attached as
  artifacts.
- A cache entry is stored once and for all, but if no cache is found you
  can inherit from the default branch cache. The cache is 5GB large, for
  the whole git repository.
- The maximum retention of logs and artifacts is 3 months.
- /home/runner is world writable, so a workaround has been added for
  starting dpdk processes.
- Ilya, working on OVS GHA support, noticed that jobs can run with
  processors that don't have the same capabilities. For DPDK, this
  impacts the ccache content since everything was built with
  -march=native so far, and we will end up with binaries that can't run
  in a later build. The problem has not been seen in Travis CI (?) but
  it is safer to use a fixed "-Dmachine=default" in any case.
- Scheduling jobs is part of the configuration and takes the form of a
  crontab. A build is scheduled every Monday at 0:00 (UTC) to provide a
  default ccache for the week (useful for the ovsrobot).

Changelog since v1:
- changed shell variables value in CI scripts and Travis configuration
  (s/=[^\$]*1/=\1true), this makes it easier for GHA,
- forced compilation as 'default' to avoid random unit tests issues in
  GHA,
- scheduled a run per week on Monday at 0:00 UTC,
- updated the ccache key:
  - no need to depend on the default-library parameter since this
    parameter only impacts the linking of dpdk binaries,
  - the week when the cache is generated is added so that jobs in
    other branches can benefit from a recent cache (mimicking what we had
    for the robot in Travis),
- realigned documentation generation with what is done in Travis:
  generating the doc in all jobs was a waste of resources,

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 2/2] ci: enable v21 ABI checks

[David Marchand]

v21 ABI will be maintained until v21.11.

Let's use the latest released libabigail 1.8.

In GitHub Actions, libabigail binaries and the ABI reference are stored
in two shared caches as all branches can use the same.

While at it, we can reproduce changes from the commit 0b8086ce3fe7
("devtools: remove useless files from ABI reference").
This will save some space in the CI caches.

Confirmed that ABI check script is detecting issues, in the absence of the 
Travis checks I am for having this alternative.

Thanks for offering an interesting CI alternative.

That's because the build machine and test machine are the same, but I

the steps.  I'm not 100% sure, because it's all supposed to be a
black-box.

Series applied.

For the time being, we can check jobs status by checking:
https://github.com/ovsrobot/dpdk/actions
Next step is to update the robot to make use of
https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/rest/reference/actions#list-workflow-runs-for-a-repository
