Cross-Building and remote testing of JSC for Linux
This document explains how to cross-build the JSCOnly port for a target board (like a RaspberryPi) and run the JSC tests suite on the board remotely.
To achieve that we build both an image for the board and a cross-toolchain with buildroot.
Tip: if you are going to do this often, then creating a helper script to exports the required environment variables documented below is a good idea.
Instructions for building the image and the toolchain with buildroot
- Download and unpack the last stable version of buildroot. Example:
wget https://buildroot.org/downloads/buildroot-2017.11.2.tar.bz2 tar xfa buildroot-2017.11.2.tar.bz2 cd buildroot-2017.11.2
- pre-configure buildroot with your target board plus this config fragment:
2.1. download jsc_buildroot_extraconfig and save it to
/tmp/
2.2. guess the name of your board defconfig (check the files in
$buildroot/config
) and merge the default config for it with the attached one. For example, for configuring for using the RPi3 in ARM64 (Aarch64) mode we will do:
support/kconfig/merge_config.sh configs/raspberrypi3_64_defconfig /tmp/jsc_buildroot_extraconfig
- run
make menuconfig
and review your systems details, pay special attention the following sections:
3.1 Target options: review that the selected options are ok:
3.1.1 For example, if the board is
ARM32
(
ARMv7
) is not the same to enable
Thumb2
instructions than not. Also the type of
FPU
selected is relevant.
3.2 Check that
ICU
will be built for the target: (check the value
BR2_PACKAGE_ICU=y
)
3.3 Check that the compiler has C++ support enabled (
Toolchain -> Enable C++ support
)
3.4 Check also on
Filesystem images
the size of the image to be generated: Set it to at least to a 2GB size so it has enough free space for storing all the subproducts of the JSC tests.
3.5 Set the builroot hostdir (
Build options -> Host dir
) to the path where the toolchain should be installed. Example:
$ cat .config|grep BR2_HOST_DIR BR2_HOST_DIR="/home/buildbot/toolchains/aarch64/buildroot_2017.11.2"
Save the value of this variable for later.
- Build the buildroot toolchain and the board image.
$ make -j $(nproc)
When it has finished you should have available in the path you defined for${BR2_HOST_DIR}
the cross-toolchain. And you should have available in the subdir output/target of buildroot the image or rootfs that should be flashed on the board.
Instructions for cross-compiling JSC with the buildroot toolchain
Defining the environment variables for the cross-compiler
- export this environment variables
export BR2_HOST_DIR="/home/buildbot/toolchains/aarch64/buildroot_2017.11.2" export CROSS_COMPILE="$(basename $(cat ${BR2_HOST_DIR}/usr/share/buildroot/toolchainfile.cmake|grep CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER|awk -F'"' '{print $2}')|sed "s/g++$//g")" export PATH="${BR2_HOST_DIR}/usr/bin:${PATH}" export CC="${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc" export CXX="${CROSS_COMPILE}g++"
- Check that the CROSS_COMPILE one evaluates to the cross-compiler name without the compiler suffix. Example:
$ echo ${CROSS_COMPILE} aarch64-buildroot-linux-gnu- $ echo ${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc aarch64-buildroot-linux-gnu-gcc
- Pass the flag
-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE
to cmake to the path of the toolchainfile.cmake that buildroot generates. If you use the WebKit internal tooling for building (script Tools/Scripts/build-jsc) you can do that by simply exporting this environment variable:
export BUILD_JSC_ARGS="--cmakeargs=-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=${BR2_HOST_DIR}/usr/share/buildroot/toolchainfile.cmake"
Enabling ccache (optional, but recommended)
If you wish to enable ccache, you can do this:
- First install ccache (the native from the host, via apt-get or similar)
- Create a ccache dir inside
${BR2_HOST_DIR}
and cd into it
mkdir "${BR2_HOST_DIR}/usr/ccache" cd "${BR2_HOST_DIR}/usr/ccache"
- Create symlinks to ccache with the name of the CC and CXX compilers
# Define CC and CXX like above ln -s "$(which ccache)" "${CXX}" ln -s "$(which ccache)" "${CC}"
- Replace on the
${BR2_HOST_DIR}/usr/share/buildroot/toolchainfile.cmake
file the paths to the C and CXX compilers, so they point to
${RELOCATED_HOST_DIR}/ccache
instead of to
${RELOCATED_HOST_DIR}/bin
sed -i '/set(CMAKE_C/s,/bin/,/ccache/,' ${BR2_HOST_DIR}/usr/share/buildroot/toolchainfile.cmake
- Now, each time you build, set your path with the ccache directory first
export PATH="${BR2_HOST_DIR}/usr/ccache:${BR2_HOST_DIR}/usr/bin:${PATH}"
Instructions for running the tests remotely on the board
The script run-javascriptcore-tests allows to run the jsc tests remotely on the board. This script will generate a tarball bundled with the built jsc and all the libraries linking to it, plus all what is needed for run the tests. To make use of this follow the instructions below:
Setup cross-ldd script
For identifying which libraries link to the jsc binary, run-javascriptcore-tests executes the script ldd, but this tool (ldd) won't work out of the box on a cross-build environment.
To fix that we use the attached cross-ldd.
So we need to put this script renamed to ldd on the binary path of the cross-toolchain (${BR2_HOST_DIR}/bin
)
# Fist save attached cross-ldd into /tmp $ cp /tmp/cross-ldd ${BR2_HOST_DIR}/usr/bin/ldd # Important! make it executable: $ chmod +x ${BR2_HOST_DIR}/usr/bin/ldd
Check that it worked:
$ which ldd /home/buildbot/toolchains/aarch64/buildroot_2017.11.2/usr/bin/ldd # We need to export this environment variables every-time we want to use this. export BR2_HOST_DIR="/home/buildbot/toolchains/aarch64/buildroot_2017.11.2" export CROSS_COMPILE="$(basename $(cat ${BR2_HOST_DIR}/usr/share/buildroot/toolchainfile.cmake|grep CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER|awk -F'"' '{print $2}')|sed "s/g++$//g")" export PATH="${BR2_HOST_DIR}/usr/bin:${PATH}" export CC="${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc" export CXX="${CROSS_COMPILE}g++" $ cd WebKit $ ldd WebKitBuild/Release/bin/jsc libdl.so.2 => /home/buildbot/toolchains/aarch64/buildroot_2017.11.2/aarch64-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00000000deadbeef) libc.so.6 => /home/buildbot/toolchains/aarch64/buildroot_2017.11.2/aarch64-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/lib/libc.so.6 (0x00000000deadbeef) ld-linux-aarch64.so.1 => /home/buildbot/toolchains/aarch64/buildroot_2017.11.2/aarch64-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1 (0x00000000deadbeef) libJavaScriptCore.so.1 => /home/buildbot/jsconly/jsconly-linux-aarch64-release/build/WebKitBuild/Release/lib/libJavaScriptCore.so.1 (0x00000000deadc0de) libicui18n.so.59 => /home/buildbot/toolchains/aarch64/buildroot_2017.11.2/aarch64-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/usr/lib/libicui18n.so.59 (0x00000000deadbeef) libicuuc.so.59 => /home/buildbot/toolchains/aarch64/buildroot_2017.11.2/aarch64-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/usr/lib/libicuuc.so.59 (0x00000000deadbeef) libicudata.so.59 => /home/buildbot/toolchains/aarch64/buildroot_2017.11.2/aarch64-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/usr/lib/libicudata.so.59 (0x00000000deadbeef) libpthread.so.0 => /home/buildbot/toolchains/aarch64/buildroot_2017.11.2/aarch64-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00000000deadbeef) libatomic.so.1 => /home/buildbot/toolchains/aarch64/buildroot_2017.11.2/aarch64-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/lib/libatomic.so.1 (0x00000000deadbeef) libstdc++.so.6 => /home/buildbot/toolchains/aarch64/buildroot_2017.11.2/aarch64-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00000000deadbeef) libm.so.6 => /home/buildbot/toolchains/aarch64/buildroot_2017.11.2/aarch64-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/lib/libm.so.6 (0x00000000deadbeef) libgcc_s.so.1 => /home/buildbot/toolchains/aarch64/buildroot_2017.11.2/aarch64-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00000000deadbeef)
Note: Replace the above IP with the one from your board.
Configure the SSH access to the board
- First copy your ssh key to the board so you can login passwordless
$ ssh-keygen # default root password is "jsc" $ ssh-copy-id root@jsc-rpi3-64.board.local
Now double-check that you can ssh on the board without password:ssh-copy-id root@jsc-rpi3-64.board.local
Also accept any ssh key so next time it don't answers any question and the webkit tooling later can ssh automatically.
- Then configure the bencher config file on the board.
ssh on the board and create in the home directory a file named '.bencher' with the path where to copy the jsc products and tests for running.
dev-machine $ ssh root@jsc-rpi3-64.board.local board-rpi64 # mkdir /root/jsc-temp board-rpi64 # echo '{"tempPath": "/root/jsc-temp"}' > /root/.bencher
- Now configure the remote config file
The Script Tools/Scripts/run-javascriptcore-tests also expects some config parameters with the IP of the board. You can pass that parameters by creating a file with this contents
$ cat remote-jsc-tests-config.json {"remote": "root@jsc-rpi3-64.board.local:22"}
- Finally, execute run-javascriptcore-tests as follows:
# NOTE: The cross-ldd script needs the environment variables below set to work properly. export BR2_HOST_DIR="/home/buildbot/toolchains/aarch64/buildroot_2017.11.2" export CROSS_COMPILE="$(basename $(cat ${BR2_HOST_DIR}/usr/share/buildroot/toolchainfile.cmake|grep CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER|awk -F'"' '{print $2}')|sed "s/g++$//g")" export PATH="${BR2_HOST_DIR}/usr/bin:${PATH}" export CC="${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc" export CXX="${CROSS_COMPILE}g++" Tools/Scripts/run-javascriptcore-tests --jsc-only --release --no-build --no-fail-fast --memory-limited --remote-config-file ${pathtothefileabove}/remote-jsc-tests-config.json
