Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
git commit 29fb2ec384a867ca577335a12f4b45c184e7b642, present in 2.38.0
and later, introduced a function that gets the number of cores from
/proc/cpuinfo. It essentially does this:
do { local @ARGV='/proc/cpuinfo'; return
scalar(grep(/^processor\s*:/, <>)); } if -r '/proc/cpuinfo';
On s390x, the ^processor lines are like this:
processor 0: version = FF, identification = 148F67, machine = 2964
In other arches (I checked amd64, armhf and arm64), they are like this instead:
processor : 0
As a result, that function is returning 0 on s390x, and that value is
used for the number of jobs the script should execute. Since it's
zero, it exits without doing anything, and that breaks the test and
the build[3] on s390x.
The failure can also be seen in debian's s390x build[4].
I suggest this simple regexp change in t/chainlint.pl:
- do { local @ARGV='/proc/cpuinfo'; return
scalar(grep(/^processor\s*:/, <>)); } if -r '/proc/cpuinfo';
+ do { local @ARGV='/proc/cpuinfo'; return
scalar(grep(/^processor[\s\d]*:/, <>)); } if -r '/proc/cpuinfo';
