[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/3] package/runc: use BR_PATH to find pkg-config

[Romain Naour]

When BR2_PACKAGE_LIBSECCOMP is set, go will try to find libseccomp
library using pkg-config. But pkg-config is not in the PATH when go
is called during the runc build.

Set the correct PATH in RUNC_MAKE_ENV.

Fixes:

[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/3] package/runc: fix shared only build when libseccomp is enabled.

[Romain Naour]

When BR2_PACKAGE_LIBSECCOMP is set, the go build system will try to
find static library libseccomp.a since "static_build" and
"extldflags '-static'" are used.

Link runc statically only for static only build and prefer dynamic
linking otherwise.

Indeed, in BR2_SHARED_LIBS=y builds, libseccomp.a will not be produced.

That's interesting, I thought Go was making static linking *mandatory*.
If that's not the case, then I would indeed prefer if we handled this
like all other packages: static linking only when BR2_STATIC_LIBS.

However, this should be done consistently for all packages: flannel and
docker-containerd also pass -extldflags '-static' unconditionally.

Geoff, Christian, do you see a problem with Romain's proposal?

Thanks,

In my latest revision of docker-engine I removed the -static flag for CGO
because btrfs would not link for the same reason.
I think it's fine to remove the ?-static? extldflag on everything for Go. I have
had no trouble doing so with docker-engine and I don't see why there would be a
problem with the other packages.
We want to statically link the Go code to other go code, yes, but linking the Go
code to C libraries should be fine dynamically.
Best, Christian

I believe this only happens on ARM, because on ARM, Go forces the use
of -pie, for some reason:

        pie := (goarch == "arm" && goos == "linux") || goos == "android"
        if pie { // we need to use -pie for Linux/ARM to get accurate imported sym
                cgoLDFLAGS = append(cgoLDFLAGS, "-pie")
        }

And static linking + PIE isn't supported by uClibc. But on
architectures other than ARM, I believe Go doesn't use -pie, so static
linking with uClibc should work (remains to be tested, though).

For this reason, I believe your patch is not correct as it disables Go
packages for static linking on all architectures, while only ARM is
affected by this problem.

This is yet another situation which makes me think we should add a
"BR2_TOOLCHAIN_SUPPORTS_PIE" hidden boolean.

OK. Can we remove unconditionally, or should we still keep it for
BR2_STATIC_LIBS=y builds?

Perhaps we should pass -extldflags '$(TARGET_LDFLAGS)', since
TARGET_LDFLAGS will automatically contain -static when
BR2_STATIC_LIBS=y.

For the specific case of runc, is "RUNC_GOTAGS = static_build" needed
when BR2_STATIC_LIBS=y ?

Thanks,

That should be fine since extldflags is, I believe, only passed to C related
linkers.
For the specific case of runc, is ?RUNC_GOTAGS = static_build? needed

when BR2_STATIC_LIBS=y ?



That go tag is related to linking Go related code? In the runc code with a quick
grep I see only one inconsequential place it's actually referenced:

Godeps/_workspace/src/github.com/godbus/dbus/homedir_dynamic.go:// +build
!static_build Godeps/_workspace/src/github.com/godbus/dbus/homedir_static.go:// +build
static_build
And in that code I cannot even see the logic between the differences in the two
files, as far as I can tell when doing a static build it just looks up the
current home dir of the user, when doing a dynamic build it does some complex
/etc/passwd checking or the like. Absolutely nonsensical.
I'd just leave the static_build tag in there unconditionally, as it seems to
have little to no effect anyway, and turning it off will actually result in some
more complex and unnecessary home directory detection code being activated.

Ok, thanks for your explanation.

Actually this patch is a try to fix the libseccomp build issue... I wasn't sure
about using "static_build" only for static builds.
I don't know much the Go build system but it seems possible to link dynamically
with libseccomp.so thanks to cgo being enabled (CGO_ENABLED=1).
Can you test Thomas's proposal (pass -extldflags '$(TARGET_LDFLAGS)') ?

Feel free to respin these patches and continue the work on docker-engine ;)

Best regards,
Romain

I have just sent a patch series that passes -static only when
BR2_STATIC_LIBS=y:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/652100/
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/652101/
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/652102/

So I've marked this patch as superseded.

I'll mark your patch as Changes Requested. We instead need a patch at
the BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_ARCH_SUPPORTS level that makes Go packages
unavailable on ARM + uClibc + static linking. To do this, you should
probably use the BR2_TOOLCHAIN_SUPPORTS_PIE option added by
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/646956/.

Something like:

config BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_ARCH_SUPPORTS
        bool
        default y
-       depends on BR2_arm || BR2_aarch64 || BR2_i386 || BR2_x86_64 || ...
+       depends on (BR2_arm && BR2_TOOLCHAIN_SUPPORTS_PIE) || BR2_aarch64 || BR2_i386 || BR2_x86_64 || ...
