Comment 1 Neal Gompa 2022-01-02 12:17:08 UTC
Taking this review.

Comment 2 Neal Gompa 2022-01-02 12:27:43 UTC
Initial spec review:

> Source0:	https://github.com/rui314/mold/archive/refs/tags/v%{version}.tar.gz

Please use proper SourceURL form as proscribed in the Guidelines: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/SourceURL/#_git_tags

In this case, that'd be "%{url}/archive/v%{version}/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz"

> export CFLAGS="%{optflags}"
> export CXXFLAGS="%{optflags}"

CFLAGS should be set to "%{build_cflags}" and CXXFLAGS should be set to "%{build_cxxflags}".

Alternatively, you can just use "%set_build_flags" here.

> ln -sf ../../bin/mold %{buildroot}%{_libexecdir}/mold/ld

What is this? Wouldn't "ln -sr %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/mold %{buildroot}%{_libexecdir}/mold/ld" make more sense here?

> %post
> %{_sbindir}/update-alternatives --install %{_bindir}/ld ld %{_bindir}/ld.mold 1

This should probably only run on initial install rather than unconditionally.

> %check
> %make_build %{build_args} test

If this is doing compilation, you probably want "%set_build_flags" here too before running the "make check" command.

> %{_mandir}/man1/mold.1.gz

This should be "%{_mandir}/man1/mold.1*" as you can't guarantee we won't change from gzip compression in the future.

Comment 3 Neal Gompa 2022-01-02 12:28:42 UTC
> %autosetup -n mold-%{version} -p1

This can be simplified to "%autosetup -p1"

Comment 4 Christoph Erhardt 2022-01-02 13:35:12 UTC
Thanks for the review! I've updated the .spec and .src.rpm files at the above URLs.

> Alternatively, you can just use "%set_build_flags" here.
`%set_build_flags` doesn't seem to work - it looks like the flags aren't propagated to the bundled TBB. I've changed the `export`s as requested; that doesn't cause any troubles.

(We need the bundled TBB since Fedora's tbb package is too old and API-incompatible. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2036372 for details.)

> If this is doing compilation, you probably want "%set_build_flags" here too before running the "make check" command.
It doesn't, so I would leave it out.

By the way, there are two topics on which I'm not quite sure:
1. mold defaults to being compiled with Clang; the .spec forces the compiler to GCC. That's standard procedure according to https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#compiler, right? As far as I'm aware, there are no technical reasons why this package would work better if compiled with Clang.
2. I had to override `strip` with `echo` to prevent the debug info from being stripped away. This feels a bit hacky; is it considered acceptable nonetheless? The alternative would be to patch the Makefile.

Add some information about bundled TBB, per the guidelines: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#bundling

Yeah, seems fine to me.

That's fine, I've seen other packages do that.

Comment 6 Christoph Erhardt 2022-01-02 21:15:42 UTC
Alright! I've updated the files again.
* Added bundling metadata
* Removed unused bundled libraries in %prep

The .spec file (along with its history) is now also available at https://github.com/sicherha/fedora-mold.

Comment 7 Ian McInerney 2022-01-03 06:17:28 UTC
So, I had been working on packaging mold for Fedora over the past few days (hence why I opened that bug against tbb for an update), and there are quite a few things that I had to fix in patches/tests that you don't appear to have in the spec file.

I have a version of my spec file on my copr (under my username imcinerney), so you can download the spec and srpm to see the differences. But essentially, I have had to patch the makefile to fix the issue with flags not passing to the bundled libraries, patch the bundled tbb cmake to fix an issue with it trying to remove flags from the build fedora wants, to run the tests I had to add a build requires for clang (but keep the main compiler as gcc) since the test scripts all hardcode clang, and patch and remove several tests to make them work on Fedora since we don't ship static libraries for libc/libc++.

It isn't fully finished yet, since I haven't dealt with the libexec file yet (and I have a patch to the makefile locally to fix the strip issue that I haven't put into the srpm).

Comment 8 Christoph Erhardt 2022-01-03 08:04:03 UTC
Thanks Ian! The test dependencies are indeed something I have missed since I was building the package locally. I have updated my `BuildRequires:` accordingly. Fedora does ship static libraries for glibc and libstdc++, but some test scripts also require glibc(x86-32).

Not sure why it works here without having to patch the Makefiles. Maybe it's because I pass `CC=gcc CXX=g++` directly as arguments to `%make_build`.

I've now set up a project on Copr: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/sicherha/fedora/package/mold/
Unsurprisingly, the build currently works only for x86_64 because the other architectures do not ship glibc(x86-32). The EPEL builds fail because mimalloc-devel is not available. We may want to conditionally use the bundled mimalloc there.

Comment 9 Jun.Miao 2022-01-03 09:15:56 UTC
But, how to yum install the glibc-static(x86-32) ?

jmiao@fedora35:mold$ sudo yum install glibc-static
Last metadata expiration check: 2:22:25 ago on Mon 03 Jan 2022 01:50:17 AM EST.
Package glibc-static-2.34-11.fc35.x86_64 is already installed.

Nothing to do.
Complete!
jmiao@fedora35:mold$

If i build, there are BuildRequires error:

setting SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=1640995200
error: Failed build dependencies:
	glibc-static(x86-32) is needed by mold-1.0.1-1.fc35.x86_64

You could request mimalloc to be branched for EPEL 9. It already exists in EPEL 8.

Comment 11 Christoph Erhardt 2022-01-03 12:25:36 UTC
Jun, you need to install the package `glibc-static.i686`.

Comment 12 Jun.Miao 2022-01-03 13:24:32 UTC
> Jun, you need to install the package `glibc-static.i686`.
> BuildRequires:  glibc-static(x86_32)
BuildRequires:  glibc-static.i686

In this case, we can yum glibc32 according to the Failed build dependencies to install, like following:
jmiao@fedora35:fedora-mold$ rpmbuild -ba mold.spec 
setting SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=1640995200
error: Failed build dependencies:

	glibc-static.i686 is needed by mold-1.0.1-1.fc35.x86_64

Otherwise, like some one don`t know Its name(glibc-static.i686) to yum.

Comment 13 Christoph Erhardt 2022-01-03 14:30:22 UTC
The `.i686` suffix notation seems to be specific to yum/dnf; rpmbuild doesn't know what to do with it. `BuildRequires: glibc-static(x86-32)` is the only notation I have found to work.

Comment 14 Christoph Erhardt 2022-01-03 15:28:52 UTC
A summary of the current status.

epel7, epel8
------------
Fails to build due to unsatisfied `BuildRequires: gcc-c++ >= 10`. Nothing we can do, I guess.

epel9
-----
Fails to build due to unsatisfied `BuildRequires: mimalloc-devel`. Tracked in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2036686.

f34, f35, rawhide
-----------------
Builds on x86_64 and aarch64. I have excluded the other architectures because mold can currently produce binaries for elf_x86_64, elf_i386 and aarch64linux only - so it probably doesn't make much sense to ship it on other architectures.
The testsuite fails on aarch64 with a failed assertion; I'm investigating this.

Comment 15 Ian McInerney 2022-01-03 17:04:58 UTC
Looking at the build log for the x86_64 build on COPR, the Fedora flags still aren't being passed into the bundled tbb build process. For instance this is one of the build commands it is executing:

[  3%] Building CXX object src/tbb/CMakeFiles/tbb.dir/address_waiter.cpp.o
cd /builddir/build/BUILD/mold-1.0.1/out/tbb/src/tbb && /usr/bin/g++ -D__TBB_BUILD -D__TBB_USE_ITT_NOTIFY -I/builddir/build/BUILD/mold-1.0.1/third-party/tbb/src/tbb/../../include -D__TBB_DYNAMIC_LOAD_ENABLED=0 -O2 -g -DNDEBUG -flifetime-dse=1 -Wall -Wextra -Wfatal-errors -mrtm -mwaitpkg -pthread -std=c++11 -MD -MT src/tbb/CMakeFiles/tbb.dir/address_waiter.cpp.o -MF CMakeFiles/tbb.dir/address_waiter.cpp.o.d -o CMakeFiles/tbb.dir/address_waiter.cpp.o -c /builddir/build/BUILD/mold-1.0.1/third-party/tbb/src/tbb/address_waiter.cpp

which is missing all the -Werror=format-security and other Fedora flags. To fix this I think you will need patches 0 and 1 from the srpm I posted. The main reason this happens (even with you setting the CLFAGS/CXXFLAGS variables) is that the mold makefile will actually use -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS when building the bundled tbb, and that option ignores the CXXFLAGS environment variable and only uses the ones specified in the CMake command line. I am not actually sure why it isn't throwing an error about linking PIE code with non-PIE code though, because it looks like tbb is not using the -fPIE flag in its build.

Comment 16 Christoph Erhardt 2022-01-03 18:19:51 UTC
You're right; I've added your patches.

Comment 17 Christoph Erhardt 2022-01-03 22:50:46 UTC
The (first) test that fails on aarch64 is one where mold is invoked directly from a shell script.

When a linker is launched indirectly via the compiler driver, the latter tells it about the desired emulation (e.g. `-m elf_x86_64` or `-m aarch64linux`). But since mold is called directly here - without `-m` - it falls back to its default behaviour: assuming `elf_x86_64`.

Here's what other linkers do:
ld.bfd and ld.gold seem to get their default emulation hardcoded at build time.
ld.lld is clever and detects the emulation from the input file(s).

Until mold adopts either the bfd/gold way or the lld way, the only path I see right now would be to patch all test scripts where mold gets invoked directly.

Comment 18 Christoph Erhardt 2022-01-05 18:33:42 UTC
I think this is ready for another round of review.

mold now builds successfully for x86_64 and aarch64 on f34, f35 and rawhide; support for epel9 will be added once mimalloc has been pushed to stable.

Actually, there is. You can use

BuildRequires: devtoolset-10-gcc-c++

instead of plain

BuildRequires: gcc-c++

and then add

. /opt/rh/devtoolset-10/enable

at the beginning of %build and %check, if applicable.

See my existing binaryen[1] package for a recent example.

[1] https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/binaryen/blob/epel7/f/binaryen.spec

Comment 20 Neal Gompa 2022-01-13 12:01:31 UTC
For EPEL7, you'd BR "devtoolset-10-toolchain" and put ". /opt/rh/devtoolset-10/enable" at the beginning of %build (and %install and %check as needed).

For EPEL8, you'd BR "gcc-toolset-10-toolchain" and put ". /opt/rh/gcc-toolset-10/enable" instead.

Comment 21 Christoph Erhardt 2022-01-13 22:29:01 UTC
Thanks for the tips! With an additional patch backported from upstream, mold now builds on epel8. New status:

epel7
-----
Fails to build due to unsatisfied `BuildRequires: mimalloc-devel`. Is there sufficient interest in mold on epel7 to make branching mimalloc-devel worthwhile?

epel8, epel9, f34, f35, rawhide
-------------------------------
Builds successfully on x86_64 and aarch64; other architectures are excluded because mold can't produce native binaries for them.

Comment 22 Christoph Erhardt 2022-01-13 22:38:26 UTC
Correction: the testsuite isn't green yet on epel8 x86_64; at least one unit test still fails. I'm investigating this...

Comment 23 Christoph Erhardt 2022-01-14 07:23:15 UTC
Opened upstream issue for failed test on epel8: https://github.com/rui314/mold/issues/270

Comment 24 Christoph Erhardt 2022-01-15 10:33:48 UTC
I need some guidance here. :-)

Rui is amazingly reactive and has fixed the aforementioned issue. Unfortunately, the resulting two upstream patches are not easy to backport because a fair amount of refactoring has happened since 1.0.1.

How should we deal with this situation?
a) Move forward to a Git snapshot.
b) Stay with 1.0.1 for now, accepting that mold won't be available on epel8 x86_64 until 1.0.2.
c) Invest effort into backporting the fix - Debian/RHEL-style, as it were.

Comment 25 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2022-01-15 12:39:53 UTC
I'd probably go with 1.0.1. EPEL8 can wait a little.(In reply to Neal Gompa from comment #20)

That's very useful advice. Is it documented in EPEL docs? I couldn't find it.

I'd go with b) . EPEL8 can wait a little while in my opinion, unless you have
some users that are waiting for EPEL8 build right now.

This is not documented anywhere, as far as I know. Someone should document it for EPEL packaging guidelines. :)

I'd recommend just doing Fedora and EPEL 9 for now as well, unless you have a *really* compelling reason to do EPEL 8 immediately.

I don't - it's just sort of a gamification thing where one seeks to get as many green check marks in Copr as possible. ;-) Let's dispense with epel8 support for the time being, then.

Barring further review feedback, I would consider this package to be in reasonably good shape.

Comment 29 Ken Dreyer (Red Hat) 2022-01-21 22:42:30 UTC
Thanks for doing this. I have been packaging it in https://github.com/ktdreyer/mold-rpm so we can experiment with this for Ceph builds.

Is master working completely for you on all platforms now? I'm sure you could ask Rui to tag 1.0.2 upstream. This application is moving incredibly fast upstream at the moment, and 1.0.1 lacks many things.

Comment 30 Christoph Erhardt 2022-01-23 21:20:06 UTC
mold 1.0.2 was released earlier today; I have updated the package accordingly.

[Sorry for wasting a fair amount of Copr processor time in the process - but I needed to pinpoint a show-stopping aarch64 bug without having physical access to aarch64 hardware. The resulting upstream bug report and patch are here: https://github.com/rui314/mold/issues/298]

Comment 31 Christoph Erhardt 2022-01-23 21:28:12 UTC
New status: everything working fine on epel8, epel9, f34, f35 and rawhide for x86_64 and aarch64.

Packages for other architectures remain held back until mold becomes capable of producing native binaries for them.

Comment 34 Christoph Erhardt 2022-01-24 21:41:51 UTC
I have uploaded a new revision that fixes most of the remarks.

There's one failure I seem unable to fix because the build fails on rawhide if I replace `%define` with `%global`:
[!]: Spec use %global instead of %define unless justified.
     Note: %define requiring justification: %define build_args
     PREFIX=%{_prefix} LIBDIR=%{_libdir} CC=gcc CXX=g++
     CFLAGS="%{build_cflags}" CXXFLAGS="%{build_cxxflags}"
     LDFLAGS="%{build_ldflags}" STRIP=echo SYSTEM_MIMALLOC=1
     SYSTEM_XXHASH=1
The build error in question looks as follows - note the incomplete path; it should be `/builddir/build/BUILD/mold-1.0.2/.package_note-mold-1.0.2-1.fc36.x86_64.ld`:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot open linker script file /builddir/build/BUILD/.package_note-mold-1.0.2-1.fc36.x86_64.ld: No such file or directory

Concerning rpmlint, I'm unsure how to get these two messages fixed:
mold.x86_64: E: non-readable /usr/bin/ld 0
mold.x86_64: W: non-executable-in-bin /usr/bin/ld 0

Don't worry about it. I'm fine with that.

That's a result of alternatives, I believe?

You should swap "%{_bindir}/ld" in the file list for "%ghost %{_bindir}/ld"

Nevermind, you're already doing that. Don't worry about it.
