perl: fix parallel build race condition in target build

2025-05-05T09:20:38Z

We have received reports of builds of perl occasionally failing when building with many parallel jobs, with a log like the following: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=[...]/perl/perl-5.40.0 ./miniperl -Ilib make_ext.pl \ dist/constant/pm_to_blib MAKE="make" LIBPERL_A=libperl.so File/Path.pm did not return a true value at [...]/hostpkg/usr/lib/perl5/5.40.0/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm line 13. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at [...]/hostpkg/usr/lib/perl5/5.40.0/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm line 13. Compilation failed in require at Makefile.PL line 3. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Makefile.PL line 3. Unsuccessful Makefile.PL(dist/constant): code=65280 at make_ext.pl line 532. The failing extension (dist/constant in the above log) would differ between runs. The cause of the issue is the `-Ilib` in the command line of miniperl. In the host build, `./miniperl -I lib` will use the following include path: [..]/build_dir/hostpkg/perl/perl-5.40.0/cpan/AutoLoader/lib [..]/build_dir/hostpkg/perl/perl-5.40.0/dist/Carp/lib [..]/build_dir/hostpkg/perl/perl-5.40.0/dist/PathTools [..]/build_dir/hostpkg/perl/perl-5.40.0/dist/PathTools/lib [..]/build_dir/hostpkg/perl/perl-5.40.0/cpan/ExtUtils-Install/lib [..]/build_dir/hostpkg/perl/perl-5.40.0/cpan/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/lib [..]/build_dir/hostpkg/perl/perl-5.40.0/cpan/ExtUtils-Manifest/lib [..]/build_dir/hostpkg/perl/perl-5.40.0/cpan/File-Path/lib [..]/build_dir/hostpkg/perl/perl-5.40.0/ext/re [..]/build_dir/hostpkg/perl/perl-5.40.0/dist/Term-ReadLine/lib [..]/build_dir/hostpkg/perl/perl-5.40.0/dist/Exporter/lib [..]/build_dir/hostpkg/perl/perl-5.40.0/ext/File-Find/lib [..]/build_dir/hostpkg/perl/perl-5.40.0/cpan/Text-Tabs/lib [..]/build_dir/hostpkg/perl/perl-5.40.0/dist/constant/lib [..]/build_dir/hostpkg/perl/perl-5.40.0/cpan/version/lib [..]/build_dir/hostpkg/perl/perl-5.40.0/cpan/Getopt-Long/lib [..]/build_dir/hostpkg/perl/perl-5.40.0/cpan/Text-ParseWords/lib [..]/build_dir/hostpkg/perl/perl-5.40.0/cpan/ExtUtils-PL2Bat/lib [..]/build_dir/hostpkg/perl/perl-5.40.0/lib . Various dependencies of the extension build scripts (Makefile.PL) - including File-Path, which failed to be loaded in the error log - are included in the path by buildcustomize.pl, as these extensions are only installed to `lib` as the build proceeds. However, in a target build, miniperl is just a symlink to the previously built host perl. As the host perl does not implicitly load `buildcustomize.pl`, we get the following include path for `./miniperl -Ilib`: lib [..]/staging_dir/hostpkg/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.40.0/x86_64-linux [..]/staging_dir/hostpkg/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.40.0 [..]/staging_dir/hostpkg/usr/lib/perl5/5.40.0/x86_64-linux [..]/staging_dir/hostpkg/usr/lib/perl5/5.40.0 The host perl's install location is used as the default include path which provides File-Path etc. for the target build; however, as more and more libraries get installed into `lib` during the extension build, they may get loaded from there instead, as `lib` is at the beginning of the include path. When multiple extensions are built in parallel, a Makefile.PL may attempt to load File/Path from `lib` after the file has been created, but before its contents have been written fully, resulting in the build to fail. In fact, we should not load anything from `lib` during the target build, as it is the staging directory for the target, including native extensions built for the target architecture - with one exception: The build scripts expect to find target information in the `Config` module, so simply removing `lib` from the include path completely would break the build. Solve the issue by creating an alternative lib directory `lib_build`, symlinking `Config.pm` and its dependencies in it, and replacing the `-Ilib` argument with `-Ilib_build` using a wrapper script around the host perl executable. This is similar to the approach seen in perl's own obsolete/broken cross compile scripts (`Cross/Makefile`). Signed-off-by: Matthias Schiffer

perl: Run make depend to fix build race condition

2024-07-28T21:53:19Z

Run make depend before building perl. This fixes parallel build failures on machines with a high number of cores. Example error 1: /bin/ln -s /build/staging_dir/hostpkg/usr/bin/generate_uudmap generate_uidmap make[5]: ./generate_uudmap: Command not found make[5]: *** [Makefile:321: bitcount.h] Error 127 Example error 2: /bin/ln -s /build/staging_dir/hostpkg/usr/bin/generate_uudmap generate_udmap ./generate_uudmap uudmap.h bitcount.h mg_data.h /bin/ln: failed to create symbolic link 'generate_uudmap': File exists make[5]: *** [Makefile:325: generate_uudmap] Error 1 Link: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=996953 Link: https://salsa.debian.org/perl-team/interpreter/perl/-/commit/366bc98c916a3455f15c532aa33a5636d2fe2803 Closes: https://github.com/openwrt/packages/issues/8238 Signed-off-by: Andreas Gnau
