[Buildroot] [PATCH v7 1/4] package/go-bootstrap: split into two stages: go1.4 and go1.19.10

[Buildroot] [PATCH v7 1/4] package/go-bootstrap: split into two stages: go1.4 and go1.19.10

[Christian Stewart via buildroot]

Go 1.20 requires a minimum version of go 1.17.13 to bootstrap.

https://go.dev/doc/go1.20#bootstrap

As Go 1.4 was the previous version that could be compiled with C, there is now
no way to bootstrap go with a C compiler, unless we use a two-stage bootstrap:

 - build host-go-bootstrap-1.4-20170531
 - build host-go-bootstrap-1.19.10 with host-go-bootstrap-1.4-20170531
 - build host-go-1.20 with host-go-bootstrap-1.19.9

This is implemented in this commit first, before upgrading host-go to 1.20.

Note: the .patch files from package/go version 1.19.x are not necessary for
package/go-bootstrap-stage2 and have not been included there.

Previous discussion of possible alternatives:

v1 -> v2:

 - fix indentation of GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP in stage2 MAKE_ENV
 - adjust commit description
 - remove duplicate MAKE_ENV declaration line
 - reorder depends on lines in config.in.host

v3 -> v4:

 - Fixed typo compatable -> compatible
 - Dropped dependency on toolchain in go-bootstrap-stage1
 - Dropped updating sources timestamps in go-bootstrap-stage{1,2}
 - Update go-bootstrap-stage2 to 1.19.7
 - Drop these comments and move to separate patch:
   - Fix typo in comments.
   - Adjusted comment built in -> built-in.
   - Adjust comments relating to copying src/ to host/
   - Dropped outdated comment referring to issue 2775.
 - Thanks Thomas for the review.

v4 -> v5:

 - update stage2 to go1.19.9

v5 -> v6:

 - update stage2 to go1.19.10

[Buildroot] [PATCH v7 2/4] package/go: adjust comments

[Christian Stewart via buildroot]

Adjust comments in the Go package to improve clarity:

Config.in.host:

 - Add comment mentioning list of supported architectures.

go.mk:

 - Improve formatting of comment about NOCCACHE
 - Reword comment re: copying src/ to host/
   - the previously linked issue is not relevant.
   - instead: mention that src/ is needed for stdlib.
 - Adjust comment re: adjusting file timestamps.
   - mention this is needed to avoid rebuilding stdlib

Signed-off-by: Christian Stewart <christian@aperture.us>

---

v3 -> v4:

 - move these comments to a separate patch
 - Thanks Thomas for the review.

I dropped this chunk, which isn't making any useful change, and
actually my text editor liked the previous wrapping better, so I left
it as-is.

Applied with this chunk reverted. Thanks!

-
-Riscv64 has SV57 mode when user-space VA is 56 bits.
-Linux kernel recently got support for this mode and Go binaries started crashing as:
-
-runtime: lfstack.push invalid packing: node=0xffffff5908a940 cnt=0x1
-packed=0xffff5908a9400001 -> node=0xffff5908a940
-
-Adjust lfstack code to use only 8 top bits of pointers on riscv64.

[Buildroot] [PATCH v7 4/4] package/go: use host compiler when go-bootstrap unsupported

[Christian Stewart via buildroot]

All Go compiler versions > 1.4.x (old) are written in Go, and require a existing
compiled Go version to use to build from source.

https://golang.org/doc/install/source#bootstrapFromSource

The process for "bootstrapping" the Go compiler in Buildroot is:

1. Compile a C/C++ cross-compiler (gcc) as the host toolchain.
2. Build go-bootstrap-stage1 (which is Go 1.4.x and written in C)
3. Build go-bootstrap-stage2 (which is Go 1.19.x and written in Go)
3. Build go 1.20 (written in Go) using go-bootstrap-stage2.

go-bootstrap-stage1 does not work on 64-bit arm. The Go 1.4.x bootstrap compiler
is compatible with x86, x86_64, and arm (32 bit) only.

This patch adds a fallback to require a host Go compiler to build host-go when
BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_BOOTSTRAP_STAGE2_ARCH_SUPPORTS is not set.

I understand the need, but I'd like to explore other options, namely
using pre-compiled Go compilers, which we would also like to support in
order to have the ability to run "make legal-info", or build Go
packages without necessarily having to build a Go compiler from
scratch. Like what we do for Rust, where you can chose to either use a
pre-built Rust compiler, or build your own with Buildroot.

For Go, I think we could imagine two options:

(a) You use a pre-built Go compiler as a replacement for package/go.
    This would work for architectures/configurations for which
    pre-built Go compilers are available. We would then move package/go
    as a virtual package, with package/go-src being the provider that
    builds the Go compiler from source, and package/go-bin being the
    provider that downloads/installs a pre-built Go compiler.

(b) You use a pre-built Go compiler as a replacement for
    package/go-bootstrap-stage2, i.e you still build the final Go
    compiler from source, but all the bootstrapping is skipped by using
    a pre-built Go compiler for the host. Would this option also
    resolve your use-case of building on ARM64? In other words, is
    there a Go compiler available pre-built for ARM64?

Best regards,

Thomas

The main difference is the Go compiler takes only a minute or so of build
time. Bootstrapping it is fast and produces reproducible results across any
of the architectures Buildroot supports, including those for which there
currently are not any binary Go releases.

Therefore I submit that it is always worth the extra build time to
bootstrap the Go compiler from source as part of the build as opposed to
using a precompiled binary. Also it is less maintenance overhead (updating
hashes for all the platforms) and as the one maintaining this process I
appreciate that.

Today we download an external toolchain but still depend on a gcc package
to be installed on the host as well. Depending on the host Go to be
installed or otherwise provided for the bootstrap process is a decent
approach for architectures that we can't bootstrap with the C compiler
alone.

I can see a way we could add an option to do the binary downloads but would
prefer to keep the logic to depend on the host compiler as a fallback to
use for bootstrapping as well.

This is fine for legal-info as the bootstrap process builds the compiler
with itself several times to ensure that only the version built from source
is used.

What do you think?

Thanks,
Christian

Thanks for your feedback. What I meant by "legal-info" probably was
misunderstood. I very commonly run "make <foo>-legal-info" after
merging a version bump of a package. For 99% of our packages, this is a
trivial operation: it downloads the new tarball, extracts it, and
checks the hashes. For golang-package, it is a non-trivial operation as
it requires building go-bootstrap-stage1, go-bootstrap-stage2 and go,
before the package can be downloaded and vendored using "go".

Okay, I understand your use case.

What if we do the following:

 1. Merge this patch which enables using the host Go compiler on
architectures that aren't supported by host go bootstrap.
 2. Author and merge another series which adds the binary version of
host-go, still falling back on #1 when neither the bootstrap nor the binary
download (external toolchain) is supported.

I am willing to work on #2 as well.

Best,
Christian

I think like we do for Rust, we want to give the user the choice of
