I've started a sparc64_defconfig build on staging:
https://bot.staging.kernelci.org/job/kernel-build/65183/console

[nuclearcat]

It seems build process failed:

Cancelling nested steps due to timeout
Sending interrupt signal to process
Terminated
script returned exit code 143

[montjoie]

The jenkins link is 404, so i cannot saw what failed.

[nuclearcat]

I think it got deleted due age.
I saved it, but there is not much useful info, just pod failed by some reason.
Probably easier to repeat build and check pod logs if it will fail again.

[gctucker]

Yes it should be run by hand to see what's going on.

[gctucker]

Well I tried to build sparc64_defconfig in the Docker image and it didn't go very far:

@montjoie Please rebase now that #1336 has been merged

@montjoie Please rebase now that #1336 has been merged

Rebased and updated, since arch is now only sparc

[gctucker]

OK removed staging-skip, let's check the results in the next staging jobs.

[gctucker]

@montjoie Jobs got scheduled but failed because there's no sparc rootfs image for baseline:

Resource unavailable at 'http://storage.kernelci.org/images/rootfs/buildroot/buildroot-baseline/20230310.0/sparc/rootfs.cpio.gz' (404)

https://lava.collabora.dev/scheduler/job/9746088

So please make another PR to fix this.

[mgalka]

@montjoie Do you have any updates on it?

[montjoie]

I have kernelci/buildroot#15 which wait merging.

[mgalka]

I tested kernelci/buildroot#15 - builds fine with kci_rootfs.
Prepared PR to include sparc64 build for buildroot-baseline rootfs.

Depends on #1866

[mgalka]

@montjoie It seems that the PR have now everything to be run on staging. There are rootfs and qemu docker images with sparc64 tools on board, but for some reason I cannot see tests results on the dashboard.
Is there something specific that needs to be set for qemu device to accept this tests?

@montjoie ping?

[montjoie]

Sorry I am on holidays, but I will try to check soon.

[montjoie]

Just did a quick check, the qemu worker was dead, I restarted it.

[montjoie]

Job fails with Job error: Invalid job data: ["Resource unavailable at 'http://storage.kernelci.org/images/rootfs/buildroot/buildroot-baseline/20230421.0/sparc/rootfs.cpio.gz' (404)"]

Ah, this is probably because of the recent rootfs images update, let me fix it and I'll check if it runs fine now.

I updated rootfs images config so it should be using staging images placed at https://storage.staging.kernelci.org/images/rootfs/buildroot/buildroot-baseline/20230418.0/

@montjoie Could you have another look at it

[gctucker]

@montjoie Please take a look or this will need to be closed if there's no update next week.

[montjoie]

rootfs are still not found https://lava.baylibre.com/scheduler/job/3656501

[montjoie]

I will update the PR, but seems few kernel are built on staging, I cannot successful boot (next is failling).

[gctucker]

OK so either someone fixes Sparc on linux-next or we get a build on staging with a stable kernel revision known to work well. How about 6.1?

In fact we need #1963

[gctucker]

Yes. But which stable kernel version is known to work with Sparc64?

[gctucker]

Adding skip label because of #1994

[nuclearcat]

I am closing PR related to legacy and SPARC. We might open topic again when we finish migrating legacy configurations to Maestro
