  [Impact]

   * GCC has a minor bug w.r.t. clobber r30 register in PIC binaries.
   * A patch to fix this has been upstream in 6+
   * But it is not in gcc-5.4 as used on xenial
   * This prevents compiling future-proof and correct greenlet code, on Ubuntu 
16.04 LTS as used by current and supported Openstack Queens release on ppc64el
   * Whilst backported greenlet is available via the cloud archive for binary 
usage, the toolchain is still technically incorrect, and thus hinders using 
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS as workers in upstream Openstack CI
   * As a wishlist it would be nice to backport this one small gcc patch as an 
SRU

2018-12-11 Thread Chris Halse Rogers
Do we have a gcc-5 upload for bionic? As far as I can tell that's not
been done.

  [Impact]

   * GCC has a minor bug w.r.t. clobber r30 register in PIC binaries.
   * A patch to fix this has been upstream in 6+
   * But it is not in gcc-5.4 as used on xenial
   * This prevents compiling future-proof and correct greenlet code, on Ubuntu 
16.04 LTS as used by current and supported Openstack Queens release on ppc64el
   * Whilst backported greenlet is available via the cloud archive for binary 
usage, the toolchain is still technically incorrect, and thus hinders using 
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS as workers in upstream Openstack CI
   * As a wishlist it would be nice to backport this one small gcc patch as an 
SRU

2018-08-27 Thread Dimitri John Ledkov
@sil2100

In practice we care about the default compiler only. In bionic it is
gcc-7 and is fixed.

Unfortunately, we do still have gcc-5 around as non default. The fix for
this was cherrypicked into cosmic already -
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-5/5.5.0-12ubuntu6

I will open a task to fix this in bionic as well, although gcc-5 should
not be used on bionic! (or specifically not in the openstack CI with
16.04/bionic as base os)

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * GCC has a minor bug w.r.t. clobber r30 register in PIC binaries.
   * A patch to fix this has been upstream in 6+
   * But it is not in gcc-5.4 as used on xenial
   * This prevents compiling future-proof and correct greenlet code, on Ubuntu 
16.04 LTS as used by current and supported Openstack Queens release on ppc64el
   * Whilst backported greenlet is available via the cloud archive for binary 
usage, the toolchain is still technically incorrect, and thus hinders using 
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS as workers in upstream Openstack CI
   * As a wishlist it would be nice to backport this one small gcc patch as an 
SRU

  [Test Case]

   * git clone https://github.com/python-greenlet/greenlet
   * cd greenlet
   * ./setup.py build
  Expect success

  Current result failure:

  ---Problem Description---
  greenlet 0.4.14 will not build on ppc64le

  Opened https://github.com/python-greenlet/greenlet/issues/136 because
  attempting to build bdist_wheel for greenlet 0.4.14 on ppc64le Ubuntu
  16.04 LTS yields the following error:

  running build
  running build_ext
  building 'greenlet' extension
  creating build
  creating build/temp.linux-ppc64le-2.7
  powerpc64le-linux-gnu-gcc -pthread -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O2 -Wall

  But the greenlet community is saying this is a gcc bug and it would
  not be safe to revert the greenlet change that exposed this issue. I
  have no idea whether that is true or not. Supposedly this should be
  fixed by
  
https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commitdiff;h=9213244550335bcb2b8590a0d7d58ac74c932361
  but that fix is not present in the latest version of gcc (5.4.0)
  available for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

  ---uname output---
  unavailable due to lab outage

  Machine Type = unavailable due to lab outage

  ---Debugger---
  A debugger is not configured

  ---Steps to Reproduce---
  This should be reproducible with `git clone 
git://github.com/python-greenlet/greenlet; cd greenlet; python setup.py 
bdist_wheel`, though it was originally found using pypi rather than github and 
with a more complicated (scripted) command as detailed in the greenlet bug 
description.
