Kernel developers are unaccustomed to the `srpmproc` process. This
explains and demonstrates the process to create normal backporting
procedures.

RESF Account: https://accounts.rockylinux.org/
srpmproc: https://github.com/rocky-linux/srpmproc
sideline: https://github.com/rocky-linux/sideline

General Process

The RESF primary purpose is to rebuild and debrand a 1:1 bug replica of RHEL and have built tools that support this process. The SIGs are modifications to that initial purpose while reusing the tooling already developed for the base dist-git process. The SIG dist-gits are controlled by automation that executes the srpmproc command so to modify the dist-git in any manner a developer needs to integrate their changes to the sig/cloud/patch configs related to that SIG. SIG/CLOUD - SRPMPROC Kernel Patches -> SIG/CLOUD - Kernel dist-git srpmproc is designed to only modify the dist-git and if a SIG wants a particular driver branch, that cleanly applies, they need to use another program called sideline to create a monolithic patch against a point in time source code base. That is then added to the SIDELINE/_supporting directory of the sig/cloud/patch/kernel directory. srpmproc knows that these patches are to be included into SOURCES/ and added to applypatch directives in the kernel.spec with appropriate config settings for srpmproc.

Developer Process

The general process by the RESF was not initially created with ad-hoc development in mind but rather pulling entire branches from upstream into the current RESF base releases. The following is to provide a general guide on how to develop with srpmproc as the SIG/CLOUD dist-git is not to be modified directly for development support.
Basic Process

Clone sig/cloud/patch/kernel repo
Run Local srpmproc
Build local git repo for kernel source
Make Changes, local builds and testing (not covered in doc)
Source changes from local build to sig/cloud/patch/kernel
Regenerate dist-git with srpmproc
Mock test rpm builds.

The following sections are going to be based off real work that was ultimately abandoned for Rocky8.

Prep for SRPMPROC: Cloning patch/kernel

This is the general prep of the directories used. Note some directions for srpmproc use a temp directory, that is not used here as depending on how long development can last you could lose important work, specifically around the srpmproc-cache

Create Needed Directories

mkdir -p SIG/cloud/
cd SIG/cloud/
mkdir -p {rpms,patch,src,srpmproc-cache,src-git}

Clone the configuration Directives and Patches repo

git clone ssh://git@git.rockylinux.org:22220/sig/cloud/patch/kernel.git patch/kernel.git

Script example used to manage running srpmproc during

#!/bin/bash
set -x

MYHOME=`pwd`
~/bin/srpmproc --cdn rocky8 --version 8 \
    --upstream-prefix "file://${MYHOME}/" \
    --storage-addr file:///${MYHOME}/srpmproc-cache \
    --import-branch-prefix 'r' --strict-branch-mode \
    --rpm-prefix "https://git.rockylinux.org/staging/rpms" \
    --ssh-key-location ~/.ssh/resfgit \
    --source-rpm kernel --tmpfs-mode kernel

`srpmproc` 1st run

This step will be missing a lot of output just so that we can focus on the results and where we source building a local source git tree.

RUN SRPMPROC with script or by hand.

./sprmproc.sh

After srpmproc runs you'll have a a new directory (kernel) in your current path that will have a working copy of the sig/cloud dist-git used to build the RPMs for sig/cloud

Example:

$ ls -a kernel/r8/
.  ..  .gitignore  .kernel.checksum  .kernel.metadata  SOURCES  SPECS

Build Local git tree repo

At this point the dist-git can extracted and modified for change however the individual wants. Below is how the author did this.

Extract the TarBall note this was the original 8.9 change and the exact version has incremented.

tar xvf kernel/r8/SOURCES/linux-4.18.0-513.9.1.el8_9.tar.xz -C src-git/
cd src-git/linux-4.18.0-513.9.1.el8_9/

Commit to a local branch so we have a starting point.

Backporting process (cherry-picks mostly)

This is ultimately up to the back porter but due to the massive monolithic patch that is preferred by srpmproc and its current configuration changes its best to leave some markers in the backport commits. In the following example we used these markers to make sure we could reproduce the upstream change log for future cherry-picks

<subject unaltered >

<ticket_system> <ticket>
<opt: CVE> <CVE-NUMBER>
commit <sha1 of original commit>
<opt: upstream-diff> <diff commtent on why it differs from upstream>

    clocksource/arm_arch_timer: Add build-time guards for unhandled register accesses

    jira ROC-2809
    commit 4775bc63f880001ee4fbd6456b12ab04674149e3

    As we are about to change the registers that are used by the driver,
    start by adding build-time checks to ensure that we always handle
    all registers and access modes.

Local Kernel Builds

Compile the kernel in place (outside the scope of this document). You could also export all these patches and manually add them to the dist-git like by many other dist-git builds however they can not be submitted to the SIG from this state. So this would be exclusively for your local testing. If you choose to do this and are not sure how to use mock builds, Skip's Blog as a relevant primer tutorial for Rocky

Prepare changes for srpmproc integration

This is the part deviates pretty drastically from normal developer workflows.

Generate Monolithic Patch

In this case you'll want to take the commit you're branched off to the HEAD of your branch and create a single patch. Using the local commits in the above output we'll want 26523a2078fe to be the first sha and c92984ca64bb to be the final

git diff 26523a2078fe c92984ca64bb > ../ampereone.patch

Generate cherry-pick patch and changelog entries (a basic method)

This segment is a manual way of producing the needed changelog entries and a nicer patch header than a standard git diff. And is being used to show examples of how and where to contribute.

echo -e "Backport AmpereOne CPU clocksource and related bug fixes\n\nThis is just a monolithic diff.\nThe Commits backported are in git log order.\n" > ../patch_msg.resf.txt;
echo -n "" > ../srpmproc_changelog.resf.txt;

git log --pretty="format:%b" \
    | grep ^commit | awk '{print $2}' \
    | sed 's/)$//' | \
    while read commit; do \
      git log -1 --pretty="format:%h %s" ${commit} >> ../patch_msg.resf.txt; \
      echo "\n" >> ../patch_msg.resf.txt; \
      git log -1 --pretty="format:message:    \"%h - %an - %cs - %s\"" ${commit} >> ../srpmproc_changelog.resf.txt; \
      echo "\n" >> ../srpmproc_changelog.resf.txt; \
    done;

echo -e "\n\nBackport-By: Jonathan Maple (jmaple@ciq.com)\n\n" >> ../patch_msg.resf.txt;
cat ../patch_msg.resf.txt > ../ampereone.resf.patch;
cat ../ampereone.patch >> ../ampereone.resf.patch;

Example Results

Patch File so there is local reference to what was done. Its important to show how the monolithic patch is generated in the event the changes need to be re-played in the event of a code correction:

$ cat ../ampereone.resf.patch

Copy Monolithic Patch

cp ../ampereone.resf.patch ../../patch/kernel.git/SIDELINE/_supporting/

Modify SRPMPROC directives

This requires manual modification of directives file as srpmproc needs to be told what to do with the new file.

Some unique notes about srpmproc

patch - directive applies a patch to the dist-git files themselves, NOT adding a patch the .spec file
add: {file: <path>} is what will copy the file from srpmproc directories INTO the dist-git SOURCES/ location.
spec_change is where we configure changes to the specfile like would be done to a standard dist-git
- This is processed in order, so search_and_replace will be processed in order for adding patches. Make sure the patches are applied in correct order.
- Since the file is processed in order the changelog items need to be placed in reverse order ie newest item at the top.

Example of a modification, NOTE search_and_replace were below the chagnelog entries. They were moved on this abandoned work such that the file and search_and_replace were located generally in order relation to how they would be modified in a pure dist-git style repo. In a hope to avoid jumping back and forth in the file.

Commit locally and rerun `srpmproc`

As of 2024.01.29 srpmproc cannot work off dev branches so this code will need to be on the main r<version> branch. Once this is done re-running srpmproc using the above script or exact same command parameters used when creating the local srpmproc will use the new local HEAD.

    Add AmpereOne CPU clocksource patches to r8

    There is a request in the cloud to support fixes for AmpereOne CPUs with
    clocksource fixes in the Rocky8 kernels.  This was a large manual
    backport with cherry-picks and picking up all known bugfixes for pulled
    patches.

Example using the new commit:
