Title:
Kernel package builds running out of space on builders
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[Impact]
Our kernel builds are sometimes running out of space on the builders
when we are building multiple flavours. We've seen this with
focal:linux-hwe for amd64 and impish:linux-unstable for arm64. This is
in part because package builds are broken up into a build phase (which
builds the source tree) and a binary phase (which creates the debs).
These are run separately, with the binary phase run under fakeroot to
get correct ownership for files in the package archives, requiring
builds for multiple flavours to be present on disk at the same time.
We have implemented various fixes for this problem over time, and
explored many others which have not worked out. But the size of the
kernel keeps increasing, and now it seems our only remaining option is
to build one flavour and install its files, then remove the flavour
build files before building the next flavour. This means that files
are installed for later package builds during the build phase,
requiring that ownership of these files be fixed up during the binary
phase to get correct ownership in the package archives.
[Test Plan]
Build a full set of kernel packages (inlcuding linux-source and dbgsym
packages, which are generally excluded when not building on builders)
at a given tag, then build another set from the same tag with the
packaging changes applied. Compare the resulting debs to confirm that
the set of produced packages is the same, the file lists within the
packages are the same, and that file ownership and permissions between
the packages is identical.
I have done this testing with the proposed patches with a recent
linux-unstable tag and found no differences with and without the
changes.
[Where problems could occur]
Incorrect ownership of files in the package archives is the main
concern. I have tested for this, but it is possible that future
upstream changes could unexpectedly result in files with incorrect
ownership.
Reordering of the package build sequence could result in missing files
which should be in packages, or files present in packages which should
be excluded. Some instances of this occurred while developing these
changes and have been fixed. Future updates to upstream or to the
packaging could cause additional issues.
