Merge lp:~raof/mir/probe-client-drivers into lp:mir

[Chris Halse Rogers]

Add probing for client platform modules.

The client library now looks in MIR_CLIENT_PLATFORM_PATH (usually /usr/lib/*/mir/client-platform) and loads all the modules it finds in there. At connection time each of those modules are checked whether the MirPlatformPackage matches what they expect; the first one that matches is used.

The smallest individually landable piece of proper driver probing; the client library side of it.

(1) Orphaned comment now needs removing:
16 # Why does this have to come after mir-test-framework here but not in tests/acceptance-tests/
17 # /CMakeLists.txt? ~racarr

(2) Unnecessary (and undesirable) formatting changes:
221 -target_link_libraries(mirclient
222 +target_link_libraries(

224 +
because the first parameter is special and independent of those that follow it.

(3) Remind me why we wanted a C calling convention for C++ code?

(4) Minor optimization: You can avoid a template instantiation using std::atomic_bool for
898 + std::atomic<bool> connect_done;

(5) Fatal: Clients don't start any more:

Note that it's not just the examples but also the tests that need this.

This is bad in two ways:

1. It's more complicated to run executables from inside the build dir.
2. Forgetting to set the proper path may lead to platform libraries from the system being used inadvertently, instead of the expected ones from inside the build dir.

Until now, executing anything from inside the build dir was guaranteed to prefer code from that directory (due to cmake setting RPATH). This setup has served us well and I think we should keep it, even if doing so involves some hackery.

One way would be to search for platform libs in all the places the dynamic linker would look for, but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to access the shared library search paths directly.

Another way would be to take advantage of the RPATH setting, for example:

1. Create a mir/libmirtestconfig.so which exports symbols/functions to get the test platform search path
2. Build it in build/lib/, but don't install it.
3. When figuring out where to search for the platform libs ([1]), try to load the mir/libmirtestconfig.so library and get the test path.
  3.1. In case of an executable/library from the build dir, mir/libmirtestconfig.so will be found (due to RPATH) and the test values will be used.
  3.2. In case of an installed executable/library no RPATH is present and mir/libmirtestconfig.so will not be found.

That doesn't seem like an adequate answer:

We've always been able to run the built binaries from within the build tree (cmake does rpath magic).

This makes it far too easy to accidentally load the wrong (installed) binaries. Could we e.g. look relative to the current library?

review: Needs Fixing

[Robert Carr (robertcarr)]

Seems ok but yeah it would be nice to load from the build dir. One trick ive seen is to use wrapper scripts for the binaries in the build-dir (not installed of course) which exports the appropriate var.

I like the idea of taking advantage of RPATH. One of the best (and worst) things about CMake is its RPATH behaviour. And it's designed that way precisely so you can run things in-situ within the source tree. Haven't assessed alf's plan in detail though.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

There's a hint in the dlopen docs about how it might be achieved:

   dlopen()
       ...
       o (ELF only) If the executable file for the calling program contains
           a DT_RPATH tag, and does not contain a DT_RUNPATH tag, then the
           directories listed in the DT_RPATH tag are searched.

[Chris Halse Rogers (raof)]

Yeah, dlopen("libmirtestconfig.so") would work.

I'm doing the CMakery required to provide wrapper scripts, though. I
strongly prefer that the release build not contain code required only
to set up the test environment.

[Alexandros Frantzis (afrantzis)]

Please make sure that it's still easy to run the examples and tests with gdb/valgrind/other tools.

@Cemil - tested, and passed, under sbuild.

I think I'd like to handle platform discovery a slightly different way; at the moment, MirPlatformPackage contains enough data to be a unique signature in itself.

The drivers are android.so, mesa.so, etc because they're in the client-platform/ directory. Their full name looks like client-platform/mesa.so, client-platform/android.so, etc.

I think client-platform/client-platform-mesa.so, etc look a bit silly :)

$MIR_CLIENT_PLATFORM_PATH and the executable_path() hack looks fragile.

We could write DefaultConnectionConfiguration::the_client_platform_factory() to use dladdr() to locate libmirclient.so and locate the client-modules directory relative to that? (which should be the same in tree and installed.)

review: Needs Fixing

[Chris Halse Rogers (raof)]

I'm not entirely sure what you think is fragile about executable_path()? We're already using it elsewhere in the tests.

If you're concerned about the ../lib/ relative path, then; whoops! Now uses mtf::library_path().

I much prefer the current solution to using dladdr() in the release code. Using dladdr() we make some assumptions about the code that the compiler emits and if those assumptions fail then our release code fails. If the assumptions we set MIR_CLIENT_PLATFORM_PATH based on fail then at worst our test suite fails.

Regardless of how we find the platform libraries by default we'll want a MIR_CLIENT_PLATFORM_PATH option for roughly the same reasons that we have a MIR_CLIENT_PLATFORM_LIB option.

I think we need one of (a) a wrapper, or (b) code in the libraries we
release solely there to negate the need for a trivial wrapper.

Choosing (b) introduces the possibility of otherwise-unnecessary code
having user-visible bugs, so I chose (a).

I hid the real binaries in the time-honoured tradition of libtool
(which uses wrapper scripts, and hides everything in a .libs/
directory). You've got a choice between developers going “why are
there all these *.bin that don't work when I try to run them lying
around in my build tree” and “why are there all these hidden
binaries lying around in my build tree”.

I think hidden files are less confusing. The (normal) directory listing
lists everything you should be running.

Said shell script makes it more difficult to run gdb which is why I
switched to wrapper.c.

We already use std::atomic<bool> elsewhere, so this saves no template instatiations.

Also, std::atomic_bool is not the same as std::atomic<bool>. It's a vestigial attempt to match possibly C1y threading support.

I still believe we could bend rpath* to our will and avoid wrappers. Although it's not impossible to figure that part out later and then drop the wrapper.
