[PATCH 0/5] Add Binman code-coverage test to CI

Binman has 100% code coverage to ensure that future changes and refactors do not break existing entry types. This is a critical feature, given that it is relied on to produce images for all sorts of different SoCs and vendors.
With the NXP additions the 'binman test -T' step was missed, so the Binman coverage test is currently failing.
This series provides a means to close the testing gap. It cannot be applied until the tests are added, which should happen before -next is applied to -master
Simon Glass (5): Dockerfile: Add python3-coverage Dockerfile: Add python3-pycryptodome buildman: Support building within a Python venv u_boot_pylib: Use correct coverage tool within venv CI: Run code-coverage test for Binman

This (and same for patch 2) should be in tools/buildman/requirements.txt

This is used by some Binman entry types, so add it to allow more tests to pass.

The Python virtualenv tool sets up a few things in the envronment, putting its path first in the PATH environment variable and setting up a sys.prefix different from the sys.base_prefix value.
At present buildman puts the toolchain path first in PATH so that it can be found easily during the build. For sandbox this causes problems since /usr/bin/gcc (for example) results in '/usr/bin' being prepended to the PATH variable. As a result, the venv is partially disabled.
The result is that sandbox builds within a venv ignore the venv, e.g. when looking for packages.
Correct this by detecting the venv and adding the toolchain path after the venv path.

If you want to remember a PATH, why don't you use a differnet variable like U_BOOT_TOOLPATH to convey this information instead of manipulating the PATH variable?

Remembering a path?
The goal here is to give buildman what it needs, i.e. the combination of PATH changes (if needed) and CROSS_COMPILE that makes things work.
I am not proposing to change the mechanics of buildman, just deal with this venv situation which I had not previously noticed.
The result is that sandbox builds within a venv ignore the venv, e.g. when looking for packages.
Correct this by detecting the venv and adding the toolchain path after the venv path.

At present buildman puts the toolchain path first in PATH so that it can be found easily during the build. For sandbox this causes problems since /usr/bin/gcc (for example) results in '/usr/bin' being prepended to the PATH variable. As a result, the venv is partially disabled.
The result is that sandbox builds within a venv ignore the venv, e.g. when looking for packages.
Correct this by detecting the venv and adding the toolchain path after the venv path.

Why are we using PATH at all in this case? Shouldn't we just be setting CROSS_COMPILE=/full/path/to/the/prefix ?

This is the -p option to buildman. The original commit was:

buildman: Add an option to use the full tool chain path
In some cases there may be multiple toolchains with the same name in the path. Provide an option to use the full path in the CROSS_COMPILE environment variable.
Note: Wolfgang mentioned that this is dangerous since in some cases there may be other tools on the path that are needed. So this is set up as an option, not the default. I will need test confirmation (i.e. that this commit fixes a real problem) before merging it.
As to why we don't always do this, well that is back in the mists of time, 10 years ago.
BTW, this is raising a point ("let's change the behaviour") separate from the goal of this commit, which is to fix a problem with venv, albeit that if we made -p the only option, then we could potentially drop all PATH changes. Perhaps toolchains are built differently now, such that they always invoke their tools using the same prefix and dir?

Wait, I'm confused. buildman internally updates its own PATH to avoid calling CROSS_COMPILE with the full path due to a concern about toolchain bugs?

That it's going about things backwards? If you're setting CROSS_COMPILE _then_ it should be the full path that it already knows otherwise if not setting CROSS_COMPILE then also not modifying PATH.

Wait, I'm confused. buildman internally updates its own PATH to avoid calling CROSS_COMPILE with the full path due to a concern about toolchain bugs?
Not its own PATH: the one it passes to U-Boot's 'make'.
OK, but the point stands.
I'm not sure why, actually. It is such a long time ago that I don't remember.
I see:
~/.buildman-toolchains/gcc-13.2.0-nolibc/arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-ld
Yes, prefixed version that's allowed to be called by users.
and
~/.buildman-toolchains/gcc-13.2.0-nolibc/arm-linux-gnueabi/arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld
Internal usage, here be dragons and all that.
but interestingly there is no gcc in the latter directory, which there was in 4.6 (and presumably for some time after).
Certainly for sandbox there is no prefix, so we cannot add it in that case, and sandbox is actually the arch used to run these tests.
CROSS_COMPILE is empty for sandbox, yes.
What are you suggesting we change about this patch?
That it's going about things backwards? If you're setting CROSS_COMPILE _then_ it should be the full path that it already knows otherwise if not setting CROSS_COMPILE then also not modifying PATH.
That is what the code does, yes. It either adds the toolchain path to CROSS_COMPILE or to PATH, not both. The 'full_path' argument controls which one it uses.
I'm saying it should always use the full path to CROSS_COMPILE and never modify PATH.
That wouldn't work with toolchains that don't have a prefix, though. If that is what you want I'm happy to modify the patch.
Yes, thanks.

When running within a Python venv we must use the 'coverage' tool (which is within the venv) so that the venv packages are used in preference to system packages. Otherwise the coverage tests run in a different environment from the normal tests and may fail due to missing packages.
Handle this by detecting the venv and changing the tool name.

Binman includes a good set of tests covering all of its functionality. This includes a code-coverage test.
However to date the code-coverage test has not been checked automatically by CI, relying on people to run 'binman test -T' themselves.
Plug the gap to avoid bugs creeping in future.
