2021-12-15 r/3248 fix(ops/pipelines): Chunk build pipeline into multiple uploadsVincent Ambo1-8/+44
The number of jobs in the depot pipeline is reaching the limits of the Buildkite backend's ability for a single pipeline upload. Based on a conversation with their support my understanding is that this has to do with internal locking mechanisms at Buildkite. To work around this, we can instead chunk the pipeline into several smaller chunks that are uploaded serially. This commit introduces logic to chunk the pipeline accordingly. The chunk size chosen is 256 for now (a multiple of our number of agents, which is useful if we can get builds from the first chunk to start before the next ones are uploaded). Note that this chunk size is significantly below even the current number of targets (~460 as of this commit), but choosing a lower chunk size might alleviate problems we've been seeing with timeouts during pipeline uploads.

2021-12-10 r/3178 fix(ops/pipelines): Move :anchor: to static pipelineVincent Ambo1-20/+0
This step would get inserted at the wrong point in the build pipeline otherwise, causing a dependency cycle and causing the pipeline to fail. Change-Id: I534568eec77f74ae6c47276820f8a9e99493a3ea
2021-12-10 r/3177 refactor(ops/pipelines): Move :duck: logic into static pipelineVincent Ambo1-34/+0
This simplifies the fallback logic used in case of Nix evaluation failure and makes it so that the evaluation step itself is the one that is marked as failed in Buildkite. This is possible because the pipeline upload command will insert new steps at the point where it runs in the pipeline, and not later. Change-Id: I870534c004ebc457a1602623c4e5f9c0c68e28fc
2021-11-29 r/3116 refactor(ops/pipelines): Query build status from Buildkite APIVincent Ambo1-7/+21
Instead of manually tracking the build status through Buildkite metadata, use the Buildkite GraphQL API in the `:duck:` build step (i.e. the one that determines the status of the entire pipeline to be reported back to Gerrit) to fetch the number of failed jobs. This way we have less manual state accounting in the pipeline. The downside is that the GraphQL query embedded here is a little hard to read. Notes: * This needs an access token for Buildkite. We already have one for besadii which is also run by the agents, so I've given it GraphQL permissions and reused it. * I almost introduced a very rare bug here: My initial intuition was to simply `exit $FAILED_JOBS` - in the extremely rare case where `$FAILED_JOBS % 256 = 0` this would mean we would ... fail to fail the build :) Change-Id: I61976b11b591d722494d3010a362b544efe2cb25

This automatically pushes a new ref at refs/r/$revision to Gerrit whenever a CI run completes on canon.

2021-08-29 r/2799 refactor(ops/pipelines): Move failure status zeroing to setupVincent Ambo1-10/+1
We changed the configured pipeline in Buildkite to upload `static-pipeline.yaml` instead of containing the steps of that pipeline itself. This makes it easier to test changes to builds and such, but adds another build step with scheduling overhead etc. However - we can work around this by killing one of the existing build steps. There's no reason the failure status zeroing (required for status reporting) shouldn't be part of the pipeline setup, so I've moved it there instead and nuked that step. This should mean that the pipeline is configurable from within the repo, but without slowing anything down.

2021-08-26 r/2786 feat(pipelines/depot): Skip build steps if their out paths existVincent Ambo1-0/+12
Skip build steps if they have already been built, reducing pipelines to the things that actually changed between builds. On canon all targets are always built (we require this for anchoring). Note that this is not perfect, garbage collection and competing pipelines may affect each other. Also note that we have some impure targets that change on every commit.

2021-08-26 r/2783 feat(ops/pipelines/depot): only evaluate once if possiblesterni1-3/+15
We currently evaluate every target twice -- once when the depot pipeline is built and once when actually running the build step in question. Nix evaluation is quite slow especially given heavy use of import from derivation in depot, so avoiding the second evaluation is desireable. Evaluating a derivation yields a `drv` file in the nix store which can be passed to `nix-store --realise` in order to build it eliminating the need to wait for evaluation. We can obtain the path to the `drv` file while building the pipeline via `target.drvPath` and remember it for the build later. However we need to work around a flaw (or oversight) in Nix's dependency tracking via string context: This is based on derivations, not output path (because this is what evaluation deals with, likely). This is no problem per se, but an issue is that Nix can't express a dependency on a `drv` file without any of its output paths. This means for us that we either have to build all output paths at evaluation time (which we don't want, obviously) or to deal with the fact that the `drv` file we need may be garbage collected at any moment after discarding the string context -- then nix is unable to track the reference from the pipeline to the `drv` file in the store. So to prevent a race condition between the pipeline and the garbage collector we fall back to the normal nix-build invocation as we did before.

2021-04-11 r/2477 feat(ops/pipelines): Add gcroots for depot builds on canonVincent Ambo1-2/+22
Adds a conditional build step that only runs on the canon branch, and only if :duck: (the status reporting step) succeeds, which creates a new Nix GC root for all depot targets named `depot-canon`. In practice this might be a bit racey, as canon builds are not guaranteed to succeed in order (though it is likely). This shouldn't matter much in practice: We only want to prevent rebuilds of the whole world.

2020-08-31 r/1748 feat(ci): Add subtarget support for buildsVincent Ambo1-6/+13
We have naturally evolved a distinction between logical and physical targets. Physical targets are those which correspond directly to a tree location on disk and can be built with `-A path.to.files`, while logical targets are those that are exported from within an expression but do not have a corresponding file on disk. This change adds support for exporting logical targets from any tree location by adding a `meta.targets` attribute containing keys into itself, which will be consumed by the CI target gathering logic and included in the generated pipeline. Note that the labels for subtargets are syntactically different to emphasise that they do not correspond to a file location. For example, this change enables 'ops.nixos.whitbySystem' as a subtarget, which is labeled in CI as `ops/nixos:whitbySystem`.

2020-08-31 r/1747 feat(ops/pipelines): Dynamically generate CI pipeline from targetsVincent Ambo1-13/+66
Create the pipeline by outputting a file that contains nix-build invocations for each target's *derivation path*. Each invocation has a generated Nix expression passed to it with `-E` which fetches the correct target from the tree while correctly handling targets with strange characters (such as in Go-packages). This makes it possible to run target-level granular pipelines. We're getting somewhere!

2020-08-26 r/1725 feat: Implement automatic CI target detection for the depotVincent Ambo1-1/+1
Automatically walk the entire depot tree and pick out things that are "buildable", then include them in the attribute `ci.targets` (which is now also the target for CI builds). A long time ago, in a land far away, we (well, I, at the time) had a prototype of this which ran into constant issues with infinite recursions while trying to walk the tree. In fact, this is why readTree originally gained the `__readTree`-attribute which marks things that were imported automatically. Based on some code edef whipped up earlier (with the breakthrough being that we also add the attribute to top-level folders, which suddenly resolves a whole bunch of problems), I've now implemented this actually working version. At the moment all builds still happen as one big bag of builds, but at some point we will granularise this.
