britney currently spends a majority of its runtime querying for baseline
test results that it won't find, and that it doesn't need. Refactor to
eliminate many of these excess queries.
When querying swift there is no way to take results only newer than a
specified point, you can only query newer than or equal to. But for sqlite
we can absolutely use > instead of >= and avoid re-processing results we've
already seen.
Logging all force-reset-test hints for every package causes
about 850 MB of logs in the last run of 880 MB of logs in total,
let's only log ones matching the package instead, as we do for
force-badtest.
In Ubuntu, we only fetch results on demand, so we might not
have seen the results yet.
Debian always fetches results at the beginning so has all the
data ready.
Due to the number of hints in standing use in Ubuntu, hints.search() is an
expensive operation, and we call it once for *every single test* referenced
from -proposed. Since force-reset-test are a small proportion of the hints
in use, searching once for all the hints of this type and only searching
this subset for each autopkgtest improves performance (with 23000
autopkgtests referenced in -proposed, this saves roughly 1 minute of
runtime, or 11% on a 9-minute britney run; the number of packages in
-proposed is typically much higher at other points in the release cycle,
therefore the absolute improvement in performance is expected to be
greater.)
The force-reset-test hints are an Ubuntu delta so this is not expected to be
upstreamed; and it could eventually be dropped if and when baseline
retesting is implemented in Ubuntu and the number of hints required drops.
This could be implemented with a more generic, elegant solution in
HintsCollection, but again, the scalability problem of hints is hopefully
short-lived so I didn't consider it worth the investment here.
urlopen() supports non-http URLs, but when called on them, http-related
features are absent - such as getcode(). Make the code work with file:///
URLs.
This reverts commit 7ff150ced7.
Sadly we can't use the X-Auth-Token approach due to implementational details (the token is valid only for an hour). So we need to switch back to using swiftclient.
This way there's less secrets that need to be shared and less new code to introduce. We also modified the test tooling to be able to check for authentication tokens in the queries.
We currently skip the ALWAYSFAIL/REGRESSION handling for kernels. This
can lead to us missing genuine regressions in kernel uploads. The
idea is that results from one kernel flavour shouldn't influence
another.
We can keep this idea but do better and actually check for regressions:
when looking at results, if we're considering a kernel, only look at
results which were triggered by this kernel.
We often introduce new kernels post-release, and we still want to not
trigger tests for the kernel image packages. Check for -meta in the
*source* suite as well as the target.
Fix the -meta name calculation for linux-signed-foo.
We currently skip running autopkgtests where there is an installability
problem, but in a few cases the depends policy notes these only, but
otherwise doesn't block migration on them.
In these cases, let's try to run the autopkgtests anyway. There will be
a few instances of uninstallability here, but since we migrate the
packages we should give them a chance to be tested.
We currently concatenate all triggers together into a string, but the
AMQP consumer expects this to be a list.
When using AMQP, keep the triggers as a list. Ensure that the "real"
trigger (the package being tested) is kept first, as before.
On some distros (Ubuntu), arch:all packages are built along with one of
the architectures. We shouldn't be listing 'all' as its own arch in this
case. Instead we filter out the binaries except for on the
'all_buildarch'.
We just had the autopkgtest queues DoSed because britney was crashing
after requesting each reverse dependency for a perl upload, but before
it had written pending.json out so it knew what not to request again.
This was 25,000 requests per arch...
Let's write pending.json straight after sending each request, so that
the next run - even after a crash - won't re-request the same things
again.
These have a hash appended.
We don't actually use the baseline retrying, which is where the ID
parsing is used, but we might as well handle this, not least so we don't
crash.
The apt version comparison sorts 'blacklisted' greater than most version
numbers, which means that we accidentally apply force hints for version
'blacklisted' to all uploads. Since this is the only case of a hacked
version number, let's special case it so that 'blacklisted' hints only
match packages with 'blacklisted' version.
