The commit 8442ac9c02 set
install_tag option to install_emptydir() calls, but it requires
meson-0.62.0. Hence, after the commit, we cannot build systemd
with older meson anymore. As using install_tag is quite useful
for building systemd package, let's bump the requirement of
meson version to 0.62.0.
Note, the current meson versions of major distributions are:
CentOS 9: 0.63.3
CentOS 10: 1.4.1
Fedora 40: 1.4.1
Fedora 41: 1.5.1
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (focal): 0.53.2 -- EOL on 2025-04
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (jammy): 0.61.2 -- EOL on 2027-04
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (noble): 1.3.2
Ubuntu 24.10 (oracular): 1.5.2
Debian 11 (bullseye): 0.56.2 (1.0.0 in backports) -- EOL on 2024-08
Debian 12 (bookworm): 1.0.1 (1.5.1 in backports)
openSUSE Leap 15.6: 1.6.1
openSUSE Tumbleweed: 1.6.1
As the next version (v258) is not expected to be released before
the end of 2025-04, it is OK to cut the support of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and
Debian 11. Also, our policy for support of distributions explicitly says
only latest Ubuntu LTS and non-LTS releases are supported.
Hence, we can also cut Ubuntu 22.04, even if it is not EOL.
Follow-up for 8442ac9c02.
Closes#35967.
Given that gold is pretty much unmaintained and does not support
`-static-pie` for bootloader components it should be safe to drop.
Also switch to clang-17 while we're at it.
Although, this is CI, we can still do better. It also ensures that any
env var changes make it into the script, as things like PATH would not
survive a `sudo -E`.
By using meson features we can replace the handcrafted dependency
auto-detection by just passing the value from get_option directly to the
required arg for dependency, find_library etc.
'auto' features make the dependency optional, 'enabled' requires it
while 'disabled' features will skip detection entirely.
Any skipped or not found dependency will just be a no-op when passed to
build steps and therefore we can also skip the creation of empty vars.
The use of skip_deps for these is dropped here as meson provides a way
to disable all optional features in one go by passing
'-Dauto_features=disabled'.
To avoid apt complaining:
+ apt-get -y install clang-15 lldb-15 lld-15 clangd-15

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python3-lldb-14 : Conflicts: python3-lldb-x.y
python3-lldb-15 : Conflicts: python3-lldb-x.y
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
We have some missing coverage in the CI, all builds enable these features,
but there are often changes and they cover a lot of code. Do one build
without them to ensure we don't break builds.
This drops all mentions of gnu-efi and its manual build machinery. A
future commit will bring bootloader builds back. A new bootloader meson
option is now used to control whether to build sd-boot and its userspace
tooling.
Meson started warning when 'setup' is not used:
WARNING: Running the setup command as `meson [options]` instead of `meson setup [options]` is ambiguous and deprecated.
Also add more quoting in output to make the message clearer.
In the Xen case, it's the hypervisor which manages kexec. We thus
have to ask it whether a kernel is loaded, instead of relying on
/sys/kernel/kexec_loaded.
The warning isn't that serious and mostly there to inform the user that
lld/mold cannot build efi binaries. It is also better to build test with
fatal meson warnings.
Allows to 'meson install --tags systemd-boot --no-rebuild' to install only the EFI
binaries, skipping the rest, for a very quick build:
$ ninja src/boot/efi/linuxx64.efi.stub
[21/21] Generating src/boot/efi/linuxx64.efi.stub with a custom command
$ ninja src/boot/efi/systemd-bootx64.efi
[10/10] Generating src/boot/efi/systemd-bootx64.efi with a custom command
$ DESTDIR=/tmp/foo meson install --tags systemd-boot --no-rebuild
Installing src/boot/efi/systemd-bootx64.efi to /tmp/foo/usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi
Requires Meson 0.60 to be used, prints a warning for unknown keyword
in earlier versions, but there's no failure
https://mesonbuild.com/Installing.html#installation-tags
This makes sure that building ia32 EFI binaries on x86_64 works.
We force gnu-efi support to ensure it's not skipped by accident
and provide the lib32 dir manually, because clang does not support
'--print-multi-os-directory', which is used to auto-detect it.
For some reason Ubuntu Focal repositories now have `llvm-13` virtual
package which can't be installed, but successfully fools our check,
resulting in no clang/llvm being installed...
```
$ apt show llvm-13
Package: llvm-13
State: not a real package (virtual)
N: Can't select candidate version from package llvm-13 as it has no candidate
N: Can't select versions from package 'llvm-13' as it is purely virtual
N: No packages found
$ apt install --dry-run llvm-13
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package llvm-13 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'llvm-13' has no installation candidate
```
to make it easier to figure out why it fails.
For example in https://github.com/systemd/systemd/runs/4799774735?check_suite_focus=true
it failed with
```
meson.build:1003:8: ERROR: Command "/usr/bin/clang -print-targets" failed with status 1.
A full log can be found at /home/runner/work/systemd/systemd/build/meson-logs/meson-log.txt
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.
```
and it wasn't clear what exactly happened there.
Let's assign a specific -Dcryptolib= value to each job to have at least
some coverage for all supported cryptolibs without unnecessarily
multiplying the test matrix.
Should provide coverage for #21880.
ATTOW llvm-11 got into focal-updates, which conflicts with llvm-11
provided by the apt.llvm.org repositories. Let's use the system
llvm package if available in such cases to avoid that.
