run_in_container: Collapse adjacent tarball layers

overlayfs fails to mount if it's given 500+ lower layers. To reduce
layers, this patch collapses adjacent tarball layers.

Also adds a check to count the number of lower layers before mounting
overlayfs. This gives better error messages when there are too many
layers.

ChromeOS Bazelification

This is an experiment to build ChromeOS with Bazel.

Checking out

For the prototyping phase, we're working on building a snapshot of ChromiumOS. Use repo to check out a snapshotted ChromiumOS tree + Bazel files.

$ mkdir ~/chromiumos
$ cd ~/chromiumos
$ repo init -u https://chrome-internal.googlesource.com/chromeos/manifest-internal -b stabilize-15429.B -g default,bazel
$ repo sync -c -j 4
$ cd src

We're still in the process of moving our development from the Google-internal experimental repository to the public ChromiumOS repository. Meanwhile you need the following hack to make the build pass.

$ bazel/workspace_root/link_files.sh

Unless otherwise specified, examples in this doc assume that your current directory is ~/chromiumos/src.

Installing host dependencies

You need to use a certain version of Bazel to build ChromeOS. The easiest way is to install and use Bazelisk that automatically downloads an appropriate version of Bazel:

GOBIN=$HOME/go/bin go install github.com/bazelbuild/bazelisk@latest

You‘ll also need to get Bazelisk onto your PATH, to be executed before any Bazel that’s already on your PATH, and we‘d like to invoke Bazelisk whenever we run bazel. Create a symlink to bazelisk in a directory that’ll be on your PATH before any other bazels, and name the link bazel. Example:

ln -s ~/go/bin/bazelisk ~/bin/bazel

Building packages

To build sys-apps/attr:

$ BOARD=arm64-generic bazel build @portage//sys-apps/attr

To build all target packages:

$ BOARD=arm64-generic bazel build --keep_going //:all_target_packages

This is a short-cut to build @portage//virtual/target-os:package_set.

Building images

We have the following targets to build images:

  • //images:chromiumos_minimal_image: Minimal image that contains sys-apps/baselayout and sys-kernel/chromeos-kernel only.
  • //images:chromiumos_base_image: Base image.
  • //images:chromiumos_dev_image: Dev image.
  • //images:chromiumos_test_image: Test image.
For historical reasons, the output file name of the dev image is chromiumos_image.bin, not chromiumos_dev_image.bin.

As of 2023-04-25, we primarily test our builds for amd64-generic. We also have known build issues in some packages:

  • chromeos-base/chromeos-chrome: Takes too long time (multiple hours) to build. Also randomly fails to build (b/273830995).

You can inject prebuilt binary packages to bypass building those packages to build a base image. You can pass --config=prebuilts/amd64-generic to do this easily for amd64-generic.

$ BOARD=amd64-generic bazel build --config=prebuilts/amd64-generic //images:chromiumos_base_image

See Injecting prebuilt binary packages for more details.

After building an image, you can use cros_vm command available in CrOS SDK to run a VM locally. Make sure to copy an image out from bazel-bin as it's not writable by default.

$ cp bazel-bin/images/chromiumos_base_image.bin /tmp/
$ chmod +w /tmp/chromiumos_base_image.bin
$ chromite/bin/cros_vm --start --board=amd64-generic --image-path /tmp/chromiumos_base_image.bin

You can use VNC viewer to view the VM.

$ vncviewer localhost:5900

You can also use cros_vm command to stop the VM.

$ chromite/bin/cros_vm --stop

NOTE: We will be reorganizing the directory structure soon. See go/cros-build:alchemy-dirs for the discussion.
  • ebuild/
    • cmd ... misc commands for development
    • private/ ... contains programs used by Bazel rules
      • alchemist ... generates a Bazel repository on bazel build
      • cmd/ commands internally used in the build
        • action_wrapper/ ... the generic wrapper of Bazel actions, handling logs and signals
        • build_image/ ... builds ChromeOS images
        • build_package/ ... builds a Portage binary package; used by ebuild rule

Misc Memo

Debugging a failing package

TODO: Fix the ability to get the build working directory. The method described here is no longer working.

If a package is failing to build, it‘s sometimes useful to view the package’s work directory. To do this run:

bazel build --sandbox_debug //your/ebuild

In the build output you will see a cd into the execroot:

cd /home/rrangel/.cache/bazel/_bazel_rrangel/ca19c0757f7accdebe9bbcbd2cb0838e/sandbox/linux-sandbox/842/execroot/__main__

This directory will contain a directory called build_package.*. It contains all the artifacts that were generated while building the package.

Build logs can be found in:

scratch/diff/build/arm64-generic/tmp/portage/logs/

The package work dir can be found in:

scratch/diff/build/<board>/tmp/portage/<category>/<package>-<version>

Debugging an ephemeral CrOS chroot

Sometimes you want to enter an ephemeral CrOS chroot where a package build is failing to inspect the environment interactively.

To enter an ephemeral CrOS chroot, run the following command:

$ BOARD=arm64-generic bazel run @portage//sys-apps/attr:debug -- --login=after

This command will give you an interactive shell after building a package. You can also specify other values to --login to choose the timing to enter an interactive console:

  • --login=before: before building the package
  • --login=after: after building the package
  • --login=after-fail: after failing to build the package

Injecting prebuilt binary packages

In the case your work is blocked by some package build failures, you can workaround them by injecting prebuilt binary packages via command line flags.

For every ebuild target under @portage//internal/packages/..., an associated string flag target is defined. You can set a gs:// URL of a prebuilt binary package to inject it.

For example, to inject a prebuilt binary packages for chromeos-chrome, you can set this option:

--@portage//internal/packages/stage1/target/board/chromiumos/chromeos-base/chromeos-chrome:114.0.5715.0_rc-r2_prebuilt=gs://chromeos-prebuilt/board/amd64-generic/postsubmit-R114-15427.0.0-49533-8783437624917045025/packages/chromeos-base/chromeos-chrome-114.0.5715.0_rc-r2.tbz2

We have several named config groupings in prebuilts.bazelrc that define typical options to inject prebuilts. You can specify --config to use them.

  • --config=prebuilts/amd64-generic: Injects prebuilt binary packages needed to build amd64-generic images.

Extracting binary packages

In case you need to extract the contents of a binary package so you can easily inspect it, you can use the xpak split CLI.

bazel run //bazel/ebuild/cmd/xpak:xpak -- split --extract libffi-3.1-r8.tbz2 libusb-0-r2.tbz2

Running tests on every local commit

If you'd like to run the tests every time you commit, add the following. You can skip it with git commit --no-verify.

cd ~/chromiumos/src/bazel
ln -s tools/run_tests.sh .git/hooks/pre-commit
