package_rpm: restrict rpm to 4 threads

2024-11-30T13:41:59+00:00

TL;DR version: with this, and the previous compression level changes I am seeing drastic speedups in package_write_rpm completion times: webkitgtk goes from 78 seconds to 37 seconds glibc-locale goes from 399 seconds to 58 seconds (!) The long version: rpm uses multithreading for two purposes: - spawning compressors (which are nowadays themselves multi-threaded, so the feature is not as useful as it once was) - parallel file classification While the former behaves well on massively parallel CPUs (it was written and verified here :), the latter was then added by upstream and only benchmarked on their very old, slow laptop, apparently: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/commit/41f0e214f2266f02d6185ba11f797716de8125d4 On anything more capable it starts showing pathologic behavior, presumably from spawning massive amount of very short-lived threads, and then having to synchronize them. For example classifying glibc-locale takes 5m20s with 256 threads (default on my machine!) 1m49s with 64 threads 59s with 16 threads 48s with 8 threads Even a more typical recipe like webkitgtk is affected: 47s with 256 threads 32s with 64 threads 27s with 16 or 8 threads I have found that the optimal amount is actually four: this also means that only four compressors are running at a time, but as they're themselves using threads, and typical recipes are dominated by just two or three large packages, this does not affect overall completion time.

package_rpm: use zstd's default compression level

2024-11-30T13:41:59+00:00

zstd uses 3 by default, while 19 is the highest and slowest. It's not clear why 19 was picked to begin with, possibly I copy-pasted it from rpm's examples without thinking: https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky/commit/?h=master-next&id=4a4d5f78a6962dda5f63e9891825c80a8a87bf66 This brings significant speedups in rpm's compression step: for example compressing webkitgtk takes 11s instead of 36s. The rpm size increases from 175648k to 234860k. I think it's a worthy default tradeoff.

gcc: add a backport patch to fix an issue with tzdata 2024b

2024-11-30T13:41:59+00:00

There is an issue in the std::chrono::tzdb parser that causes problems since the tzdata-2024b release started using %z in the main format. As a real world problem I encounter an issue with the waybar clock module, which ignores the timezone setting and only shows system time.

kexec-tools: update COMPATIBLE_HOST because of makedumpfile

2024-11-30T13:41:59+00:00

makedumpfile is not compatible with mipsarcho32 and riscv32, so set for kexec-tools accordingly. And update packagegroup-core-tools-testapps too.

selftest/sstatetests: run CDN mirror check only once

2024-11-30T13:41:59+00:00

The first no-fail check was an attempt to work around the old CDN's instability (and it didn't really help); it should not be necessary with the new CDN, and only delays a-full completion.

shadow: use update-alternatives to handle groups.1

2024-11-30T13:41:59+00:00

This patch fixes the following error at do_rootfs: update-alternatives: Error: not linking /PATH/TO/rootfs/usr/share /man/man1/groups.1 to /usr/share/man/man1/groups.1.coreutils since /PATH/TO/rootfs/usr/share/man/man1/groups.1 exists and is not a link The problem can be reproduced by adding the following lines to local.conf and then building an image: EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES:append = " doc-pkgs" IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " shadow coreutils" groups.1 is handled by update-alternatives in coreutils recipe, so do it in shadow recipe too.

ffmpeg: fix packaging examples

2024-11-30T13:41:59+00:00

* I've noticed that ffmpeg package isn't created in my builds, due to --disable-programs in EXTRA_OECONF added by our .bbappend, but was surprised that lib32-ffmpeg is created. * lib32-ffmpeg was created only because it contained the examples which are installed in /usr/share/ffmpeg even when PN is lib32-ffmpeg as we pass --datadir=${datadir}/ffmpeg in EXTRA_OECONF here * --disable-programs controls ${bindir}/ffprobe ${bindir}/ffmpeg and ${datadir}/ffmpeg/ffprobe.xsd ${datadir}/ffmpeg/libvpx-*.ffpreset (From OE-Core rev: 24bf3ad245fa2dba14a59477279c6db3c8bcd088) Signed-off-by: Martin Jansa Signed-off-by: Mathieu Dubois-Briand Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie (cherry picked from commit d7bf828b6431a254201675e41047f53da47912f5) Signed-off-by: Steve Sakoman
