I've looked at this a bit. For gzip, barebox already uses '-n', so that
should work correctly. Most other compressors don't add a timestamp, at
least in my quick tests. What remains is lzop.

We already have a BAREBOX_NEEDS_HOST_LZOP option, so the only thing needed
is a patch. Using SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH for mtime_low/mtime_high if available
(instead of the file time) should be trivial.

I'd expect that these change as well.

Hmmm, maybe make it configurable
- ptxdist release: what we have now
- toolchain release: if the compiler changes, then the result will be
  different anyways.
- manual 'date' string: any use-case for this?

That's what his patch does. I'd like to have one timestamp for all of
PTXdist.

So the question is, why does barebox_menuconfig depend on base.install.
Probably via barebox.extract but that shouldn't happen either.

If I understood correctly, you want some timestamp which does not
change, as long as barebox is not touched. Why not base it on the
barebox version then? What would be the problem with that?

Also I'd prefer to use something BSP-global, but I couldn't find anything
suitable:

PTXCONF_PROJECT_VERSION - not guaranteed to be a date
PTXCONF_PLATFORM_VERSION - same here

Maybe ptxdist could offer using one of those as a fake timestamp, if the
appropriate format is used.

It's not an issue, the same happens without the patches. I just never noticed
it. The dependencies come from base.install.

Ok, not used as in no user/host in the binary at all. That's ok then.

Hmmm, I applied the patches and did some quick checks, and I'm not seeing
the issue. If you run ptxdist with '-d' you might get a hint where the
dependency is coming from.

You can easily overwrite that in your BSP and I'm wouldn't mind changing
that in general. The PTXdist release was just a convenient 'date' to use.
I'd like to have something that is global to the BSP. Do you have any
sugestions?

Updates are certainly one use-case. For me it's also useful to develop
PTXdist. I can compare ipkgs from before and after some refactoring more
easily.

Yes, it generates #defines, but apparently these are not used anywhere in the
barebox source tree, thus they do not end up in the binary.

I guess so. It's host-chrpath, host-pkg-config, kernel-header, host-attr, host-

SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH uses the ptxdist release number for the timestamp, thus the
timestamp changes with every ptxdist release. I'd prefer to *really* get the
same binary when the source code was not changed at all. A ptxdist version bump
has a high potential of not touching anything barebox related.

I also do not like mangling the barebox version into a timestamp, but I couldn't
come up with any better idea.

My main use case for reproducible builds is RAUC. Since bootloader updates are
especially hairy on some platforms, I'm happy about having the ability to spare
a few of them (while retaining an update mechanism that ensures a persistent
state of the system *and* without using prebuilt bootloaders).

However, I do not mind if ptxdist by default builds more packages reproducibly.

I'd like to see this patch split in two.
One to handle the KBUILD_BUILD_ stuff. That should be done like the kernel
with the symlink magic, but otherwise unconditionally (for now).
Use SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH for the timestamp. I want to change the kernel to use
this too.

Another patch for the rest. I'm not quite sure how I want to handle this.
My current plan is to have a setup option: Developers can use it to disable
reproducible builds to see stuff like the build timestamps etc.
CI and release builds have it enabled by default. I currently don't have
any reason do disable reproducibility for releases.

What do you think?

Hmm, then something is wrong here. scripts/mkcompile_h has always used

That's the usual early build stuff, right? host-pkg-config and things like
that.

For the sake of completeness: the _USER and _HOST variables are *not yet*
incorporated into the resulting binaries by barebox (at least with my
configuration).

It's an opt-in hammer at least. One annoyance that I observed is, that
menuconfig barebox also does build host-faketime and a bunch of other things
that are not a dependency of the host-faketime package.

According to my observations, only the compression. A few compressors are
capable of not including timestamps (e.g. gzip: --no-name), but others are not
(lzop).

To fix that, there are a few options I do not like:

1. fix the in the barebox build system and implement ugly hacks so this works
for lzop (overwriting an lzo header field) and other compressors that do not
support this out of the box.

2. fix this in ptxdist, probably by doing the same ugly stuff before copying
images to IMAGEDIR

3. fix the problems in lzop and other compressors that do not support faking or
skipping those header fields.

The thirds option is still the best, but it will take ages to reach
distributions.

What is not covered by the KBUILD_BUILD_* variables? faketime is a big
hammer that can cause other problems. I'd like to understand what happens
here first.

Re: [ptxdist] [PATCH 2/3] barebox: add option for building barebox reproducibly

2018-10-12 Thread Baeuerle, Florian
I tested this for phycore-am335x and phycard-imx27 bootloaders. I get the same
binaries from different machines, but I think anyone using that feature should
first test it before putting any trust into it.

This is a quick implementation that I primarily need for my RAUC bundles (for
not overwriting unchanged bootloaders).

I think this could me implemented as a ptxdist- or platform option that would
theoretically allow building every package reproducibly.

Some packages need special treatment of course, but that could be done with:

ifdef PTXDIST_REPRODUCIBLE
PKG_ENV := $(PKG_ENV) SOME_OTHER_VAR=1
endif

or a new variable:

PKG_REPRODUCIBLE_ENV := ...

Any thoughts or ideas on this?
