This commit disables building documentation on cross-compiled compilers, for
example ARM/MIPS/PowerPC/etc. Currently I believe we're not getting much use out
of these documentation artifacts and they often take 10-15 minutes total to
build as it requires building rustdoc/rustbook and then also generating all the
documentation, especially for the reference and the book itself.
In an effort to cut down on the amount of work that we're doing on dist CI
builders in light of recent timeouts this was some relatively low hanging fruit
to cut which in theory won't have much impact on the ecosystem in the hopes that
the documentation isn't used too heavily anyway.
While initial analysis in #48827 showed only shaving 5 minutes off local builds
the same 5 minute conclusion was drawn from #48826 which ended up having nearly
a half-hour impact on the bots. In that sense I'm hoping that we can land this
and test out what happens on CI to see how it affects timing.
Note that all tier 1 platforms, Windows, Mac, and Linux, will continue to
generate documentation.
These arguments are passed to the relevant x.py invocation in all cases
anyway. As such, there is no need to separately configure them. x.py
will ignore the configuration when they are passed on the command line
anyway.
Now that the final bug fixes have been merged into sccache we can start
leveraging sccache on the MSVC builders on AppVeyor instead of relying on the
ad-hoc caching strategy of trigger files and whatnot.
I've tracked down what I believe is the last spurious sccache failure on #40240
to behavior in mio (carllerche/mio#583), and this commit updates the binaries to
a version which has that fix incorporated.
Previously we would use one builder on Travis to produce two sets of host
compilers for two different targets. Unfortunately though we've recently
increased how much we're building for each target so this is starting to take
unnecessarily long (#40804). This commit splits the dist builders in two by
ensuring that we only dist one target on each builder, which should take a much
shorter amount of time. This should also unblock other work such as landing the
RLS (#40584).
Now that mozilla/sccache#43 is fixed the caching works for MinGW on Windows. We
still can't use it for MSVC just yet, but I'll try to revive that branch at some
point.
Currently CI builds can fail spuriously during the LLVM build (#39003). I
believe this is due to sccache, and I believe that in turn was due to the fact
that the sccache server used to just be a raw mio server. Historically raw mio
servers are quite complicated to get right, but this is why we built Tokio! The
sccache server has been migrated to Tokio which I suspect would fix any latent
issues.
I have no confirmation of this (never been able to reproduce the deadlock
locally), but my hunch is that updating sccache to the master branch will fix
the timeouts during the LLVM build.
The binaries previously came from Gecko's infrastructure, but I've built new
ones by hand for Win/Mac/Linux and uploaded them to our CI bucket.
This commit adds a new flag to the configure script,
`--enable-extended`, which is intended for specifying a desire to
compile the full suite of Rust tools such as Cargo, the RLS, etc. This
is also an indication that the build system should create combined
installers such as the pkg/exe/msi artifacts.
Currently the `--enable-extended` flag just indicates that combined
installers should be built, and Cargo is itself not compiled just yet
but rather only downloaded from its location. The intention here is to
quickly get to feature parity with the current release process and then
we can start improving it afterwards.
All new files in this PR inside `src/etc/installer` are copied from the
rust-packaging repository.
This expands the `cross` travis matrix entry with a few more targets that our
nightlies are building:
* x86_64-rumprun-netbsd
* arm-unknown-linux-musleabi
* arm-unknown-linux-musleabihf
* armv7-unknown-linux-musleabihf
* mips-unknown-linux-musl
* mipsel-unknown-linux-musl
This commit doesn't compile custom toolchains like our current cross-image does,
but instead compiles musl manually and then compiles libunwind manually (like
x86_64) for use for the ARM targets and just uses openwrt toolchains for the
mips targets.
This commit adds six new travis matrix entires for doing cross-compiled
distribution builds of the compiler. The support added in #38731 allows us to
quickly compile a complete suite of distribution artifacts for cross-compiled
platforms, and currently each matrix entry (when fully cached) clocks in around
an hour to finish. Note that a full test run typically takes about two hours
right now.
With further optimizations coming down the pike in #39026 this commit also
starts doubling up cross-compiled distribution builders on each matrix entry. We
initially planned to do one build per entry, but it's looking like we may be
able to get by with more than one in each entry. Depending on how long these
builds take we may even be able to up it to three, but we'll start with two
first.
This commit then completes the suite of cross-compiled compilers that we're
going to compile, adding it for a whole litany of platforms detailed in the
changes to the docker files here. The existing `cross` image is also trimmed
down quite a bit to avoid duplicate work, and we'll eventually provision it for
far more cross compilation as well.
Note that the gcc toolchains installed to compile most of these compilers are
inappropriate for actualy distribution. The glibc they pull in is much newer
than we'd like, so before we turn nightlies off we'll need to tweak these docker
files to custom build toolchains like the current `linux-cross` docker image
does.
