[PATCH 0/2] gitlab-ci: Add riscv64 cross builds

[Richard Henderson]

The only tcg host that does not have build coverage is riscv64.
Filling this hole will help with tcg reorgs I have in the works.

Thanks to Alex for help debugging the docker image creation.

[PATCH 1/2] tests/docker: promote debian-riscv64-cross to a full image

[Richard Henderson]

From: Alex Bennée <alex.bennee@linaro.org>

To be able to cross build QEMU itself we need to include a few more
libraries. These are only available in Debian's unstable ports repo
for now so we need to base the riscv64 image on sid with the the
minimal libs needed to build QEMU (glib/pixman).

The result works but is not as clean as using build-dep to bring in
more dependencies. However sid is by definition a shifting pile of
sand and by keeping the list of libs minimal we reduce the chance of
having an image we can't build. It's good enough for a basic cross
build testing of TCG.

Alex, why not using a debian-sid intermediate image?

Well we removed the original debian-sid image a while ago having excised
images that used it. Basing things on sid does cause problems given it's
such a moving feast. Rather than encouraging others to build sid based
images we decided it made more sense to make this a pure standalone
image which we can migrate away from at the first opportunity.

Yeah, which is why I'm worried we'll get the same problem...

So this image can't be used as gating IMO.

Yeah, IME from babysitting libvirt CI, 'sid' containers break in dep
solving more often than is acceptable for a mandatory job, especially
for non-x86 arches.

Pending discussion on patch #1 of this series, I believe
this job is likely going to fail, so must use the
'allow_failure: true' tag or something else (manual?).
Meanwhile this is sorted out:

My only question is whether it's the image creation step that should be allowed to fail. 
If the dpkg deps weren't so broken as to not install, I *think* we should be able to rely 
on the result for the cross-build.

At least that's how I'd prefer to arrange things, if it works...

We have multiple possibilities:

(1) Have all jobs depending on riscv64-debian-cross-container
    use 'allow_failure: true' (see commit d3a4e41da25 "gitlab-ci:
    Fix 'when:' condition in acceptance...")

(2) Use a working snapshot date, see commit b4048a7cd10 ("docker:
    Use a stable snapshot for Debian Sid")

(3) Manually push a built image to mainstream (qemu-project namespace)
    and have forks (try to build) or pull from mainstream

Hmm I had a (4) but forgot about it... Anyhow, I personally prefer (2)
over (1) because we can use it as gating. 'allow_failure' jobs are
*not* gating and we often miss their failures.

Queued to testing/next, thanks.
