Hello,

+Fabio for Freescale/NXP related build failures, +Ricardo for the
systemd test failure.

Thanks for this release. There was a Gitlab CI run on the 2018.11.1
tag, see
https://gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot/pipelines/40779740/builds.
We have only 3 failures on a total of 262 tests, which is not bad.

Here is a quick analysis:

imx6slevk_defconfig,
https://gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot/-/jobs/136980040

freescale_imx7dsabresd_defconfig,
https://gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot/-/jobs/136980027

Both of these look very similar to what was fixed by commit
1ad9c45a059deaaae65a78a9ed7f78b579fed422 in master, but this commit is
also in 2018.11.x.

However, commit 1ad9c45a059deaaae65a78a9ed7f78b579fed422 does not apply
to the failing defconfigs, as they don't use the patch added in
board/freescale/ by this commit.

Fabio, could you perhaps have a look ?

The last failure is on a systemd test, where it says that the boot
didn't work:

https://gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot/-/jobs/136980206

However, looking at the boot log at
https://gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot/-/jobs/136980206/artifacts/file/test-output/TestInitSystemSystemdRwFull-run.log,
it did boot, the login prompt appears.

Perhaps something for Ricardo ? :-)

Thanks,

Thomas

Yes, I will submit patches to fix these issues.

Hello,

Sorry the long delay.

The artifacts are now expired.
But I downloaded in time and made a copy here:

The "Welcome" message appeared but not the "login:" because the getty was not
started. Getty didn't start because /dev/ttyAMA0 was not ready.

These are the messages in the log:
|A start job is running for dev-ttyAMA0.device (1min 35s / 1min 30s)
| TIME    Timed out waiting for device dev-ttyAMA0.device.
|[DEPEND] Dependency failed for Serial Getty on ttyAMA0.


I found in the wild 2 issue reports that have similar symptoms, but I think
they are not the same issue found in this run.

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/10914
This is not the case because that issue is caused by the use of /dev/console
instead of /dev/tty*, I checked and our test case is correctly using /dev/tty*

https://jira.automotivelinux.org/browse/SPEC-544
This one seems to be related only to old systemd versions and already fixed
upstream.

So I created 2 commits:
1) change the test case to boot the image 100 times instead of a single time;
2) add a pre-built image to skip the build in the Gitlab CI (this is the actual
   image that failed in the original report).

So far there were more than 2000 boots without this problem (100 per run):
https://gitlab.com/RicardoMartincoski/buildroot/pipelines/42333203/builds

The only time the boot failed the logs do not show the same DEPEND message:
https://gitlab.com/RicardoMartincoski/buildroot/-/jobs/142073152


I am not sure it's worth digging further if we don't see this issue again.


Regards,
Ricardo
