Commit bc499b113 broke guix on guile@2.0.14, improper <operating-system> field initialization
(address . bug-guix@gnu.org)
20180320154302.GL105827@pe06.us.cray.com
Hello Guix,

On the master branch (5d818b3557cc3b546d5bd0639359c14c7c0ab685), when
configured with guile@2.0.14, I get the following backtrace when
running `make`.

Backtrace:

(as an aside: maybe would could postpone compilation of test modules
until `make check`).

I git bisect'd this failure to commit
bc499b113a598c0e7863da9887a4133472985713, which added the
'initrd-modules' field to the (@ (gnu system) <operating-system>)
record.

The %simple-os from (gnu tests base) seems improperly initialized. In
particular, the fields seem to be shifted:

scheme@(guile-user)> (@@ (gnu tests base) %simple-os)
$1 = #<<operating-system>
kernel: #<package linux-libre@4.15.7 ...>
kernel-arguments: ()
bootloader: #<<bootloader-configuration> bootloader: ...>
initrd: #<procedure base-initrd ...>
initrd-modules: ()
firmware: "komputilo"
host-name: #f
hosts-file: ()
mapped-devices: (#<<file-system> device: "my-root" ...> #<<file-system> ...> ...)
file-systems: ()
swap-devices: (#<<user-account> name: "alice" ...> ...)
...

Notice e.g. the "firmware" field has that value that should be in
"host-name", which has the value "hosts-file" should have, and
"mapped-devices" has the value "file-systems" should have, etc.

If you explicitely specify the new "initrd-modules" field this commit
added in (@ (gnu tests) %simple-os), then compilation proceeds as
expected.

That sounds a lot like regular ABI breakage: a new <operating-system>
field was added but gnu/tests/base.go wasn’t rebuilt, and thus was
expecting the previous struct layout.

Does “rm gnu/tests/base.go && make” suffice to fix this issue?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

No, it doesn't help. Previously I had been running "make clean-go"
before each "make.

The error/backtrace is issued when build-aux/compile-all.scm tries to
load gnu/tests/base.scm, before it even gets to compilation.

Oh, can you “rm -rf ~/.cache/guile”?

One thing that could be an issue is that (gnu system install) loads
‘examples/bare-bones.tmpl’. Thus ‘bare-bones.tmpl.go’ ends up in
~/.cache/guile and could be out of sync.

Thanks,

"rm -rf ~/.cache/guile && make clean-go && make" resulted in an error,
but a slightly different backtrace:

This looks like another record issue: the code is accessing the
`services' field instead of the `name-service-switch' field, which is
right next to it.

So it looks like there are still stale .go files somewhere being picked
up. This time it would mean that nss.go is up-to-date and system.go is
stale, since nss.go assumes an offset for `name-service-switch' that is
+1 compared to that of system.go.

Could you maybe try:

rm -rf ~/.cache/guile
make clean-go
strace -f -o log make

and check in `log' whether .go files outside of the build tree are being
used?

Thanks,
Ludo'.

Oh, so it loks like .go files from the system-installed guix are being
picked up:

53692 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/local/lib/guile/2.0/site-ccache/gnu/system.go", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 10

I hadn't expected that, but I suppose it makes sense. Running make
under ./pre-inst-env does not help.

We should probably find a way to prevent this in general, right? We
shouldn't be loading guix modules from outside the source tree during
build.

From my Guix build and source tree, I see this:

Toggle snippet (13 lines)

Don’t you get a similar message?

As a workaround, I temporarily uninstalled Guix from the system. This
allowed compilation from my git checkout to succeed.

It seems that the problem here is that both Guile and Guix were
installed with --prefix=/usr/local.

Guile contains by default $prefix/lib/guile/2.0/site-ccache in its
%load-compiled-path. Thus, it will always find the .go files of that
Guix that’s installed in the same prefix.

In general we can (and do: see the ‘make-go’ target and see
‘pre-inst-env’), but in this case we can’t really prevent it because
$prefix/lib/… is in the default search path of Guile, which is
admittedly problematic.

Maybe we should just forbid install Guix in the same prefix as Guile,
and detect that at configure time.

WDYT?
