Moving buckets from us-east-1 to us-west-1 because us-west-1 is where
rust-central-station itself runs and in general is where we have all our other
buckets.
Our OSX builders are routinely and significantly over hour 2 hour "soft limit"
for testing PRs. I *think* that a big portion of this time comes from the fact
that LLVM and debug assertions are enabled. In an effort to speed up these
builders and reduce cycle time this commit disables LLVM assertions on OSX for
all builders.
My thinking is that we'll let this bake for a bit after merged to see what the
effect is on timing on Travis. If it doesn't actually help much we can turn them
back on, and if it doesn't help enough we can disable Rust debug assertions as
well.
Most of the other rust-lang buckets are in us-west-1 and I think the original
bucket was just accidentally created in the us-east-1 region. Let's consolidate
by moving it to the same location as the rest of our buckets.
Fix sanitizer tests on buggy kernels
Travis recently pushed an update to the Linux environments, namely the kernels
that we're running on. This in turn caused some of the sanitizer tests we run to
fail. We also apparently weren't the first to hit these failures! Detailed in
google/sanitizers#837 these tests were failing due to a specific commit in the
kernel which has since been backed out, but for now work around the buggy kernel
that's deployed on Travis and eventually we should be able to remove these
flags.

Reorder the job matrix to take advantage of the order how Travis CI starts
them in rust-lang/rust. Plus other refactoring of `.travis.yml`.
1. Move the `$ALLOW_PR` image to the top, so users' PRs will start testing
immediately. Previously the `$ALLOW_PR` image starts 6 minutes after the
build was scheduled.
2. Move the slow macOS images near the top, so they share more time with
the rest of the faster Linux builds, which should shorten total test
time (actually not much, about 7 minutes at most if this change does
work).
3. Merged the `install` section of both Linux and macOS to make the `env:`
section a bit shorter, and enable change 4 below.
4. Do not download or install anything if `$SKIP_BUILD == true`, which
further reduces chance of spurious failure in the PR-CI stage (avoid the
red cross appearing even if CI passed).
Use the `-f` flag to indicate that, for example, a 500 response code is to be
considered a failure, triggering the normal retry logic. Also ignore errors
where we check the date from google.com, as a failure there shouldn't fail the
build.
Add a travis builder for wasm32-unknown-emscripten
This commits add an entry to travis matrix that will execute wasm32-unknown-emscripten tests suites.
- Emscripten for asmjs was updated to sdk-1.37.13-64bit
- The tests are run with node 8.0.0 (it can execute wasm)
- A wrapper script is used to run each test from the directory where it is (workaround for https://github.com/kripken/emscripten/issues/4542)
- Some tests are ignore, see #42629 and #42630
Build instruction profiler runtime as part of compiler-rt
r? @alexcrichton
This is #38608 with some fixes.
Still missing:
- [x] testing with profiler enabled on some builders (on which ones? Should I add the option to some of the already existing configurations, or create a new configuration?);
- [x] enabling distribution (on which builders?);
- [x] documentation.
There is no `minimal` language. Due to travis-ci/travis-ci#4895, it will
fallback to `ruby`, which certainly isn't what we want. `generic` is an
undocumented (travis-ci/docs-travis-ci-com#910) language that serves the
desired purpose.
* Bring back colors on Travis, which was disabled since #39036.
Append --color=always to cargo when running in CI environment.
* Removed `set -x` in the shell scripts. The `retry` function already
prints which command it is running, add `-x` just add noise to the
output.
* Support travis_fold/travis_time. Matching pairs of these allow Travis CI
to collapse the output in between. This greatly cut down the unnecessary
"successful" output one need to scroll through before finding the failed
statement.
Generate XZ-compressed tarballs
Integrate the new `rust-installer` and extend manifests with keys for xz-compressed tarballs.
One of the steps required for https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/21724
Now that the final bug fixes have been merged into sccache we can start
leveraging sccache on the MSVC builders on AppVeyor instead of relying on the
ad-hoc caching strategy of trigger files and whatnot.
ASan and TSan are supported on macOS, and this commit enables their
support.
The sanitizers are always built as *.dylib on Apple platforms, so they
cannot be statically linked into the corresponding `rustc_?san.rlib`. The
dylibs are directly copied to `lib/rustlib/x86_64-apple-darwin/lib/`
instead.
Note, although Xcode also ships with their own copies of ASan/TSan dylibs,
we cannot use them due to version mismatch.
There is a caveat: the sanitizer libraries are linked as @rpath, so the
user needs to additionally pass `-C rpath`:
rustc -Z sanitizer=address -C rpath file.rs
^~~~~~~~
Otherwise there will be a runtime error:
dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libclang_rt.asan_osx_dynamic.dylib
Referenced from: /path/to/executable
Reason: image not found
Abort trap: 6
The next commit includes a temporary change in compiler to force the linker
to emit a usable @rpath.
I've tracked down what I believe is the last spurious sccache failure on #40240
to behavior in mio (carllerche/mio#583), and this commit updates the binaries to
a version which has that fix incorporated.
Previously we would use one builder on Travis to produce two sets of host
compilers for two different targets. Unfortunately though we've recently
increased how much we're building for each target so this is starting to take
unnecessarily long (#40804). This commit splits the dist builders in two by
ensuring that we only dist one target on each builder, which should take a much
shorter amount of time. This should also unblock other work such as landing the
RLS (#40584).
travis: Compile OSX releases with Xcode 7
Unfortunately what we're using right now, Xcode 8.2, cannot compile LLVM for OSX
10.7. We've done this historically and Gecko would like to maintain this
compabitiliby. This commit moves our release builders for OSX to using Xcode 7
which can compile LLVM for 10.7.
The builders running tests continue to use Xcode 8.2, however, because the LLDB
version with Xcode 7, 350, is blacklisted in running our LLDB tests. To continue
running LLDB tests we'll stick with Xcode 8.2.

Attempt to cache git modules
Partial resolution of #40772, appveyor remains to be done once travis looks like it's working ok.
The approach in this PR is based on the `--reference` flag to `git-clone`/`git-submodule --update` and is a compromise based on the current limitations of the tools we're using.
The ideal would be:
1. have a cached pristine copy of rust-lang/rust master in `$HOME/rustsrc` with all submodules initialised
2. clone the PR branch with `git clone --recurse-submodules --reference $HOME/rustsrc git@github.com:rust-lang/rust.git`
This would (in the nonexistent ideal world) use the pristine copy as an object cache for the top level repo and all submodules, transferring over the network only the changes on the branch. Unfortunately, a) there is no way to manually control the initial clone with travis and b) even if there was, cloned submodules don't use the submodules of the reference as an object cache. So the steps we end up with are:
1. have a cached pristine copy of rust-lang/rust master in `$HOME/rustsrc` with all submodules initialised
2. have a cloned PR branch
3. extract the path of each submodule, and explicitly `git submodule update --init --reference $HOME/rustsrc/$module $module` (i.e. point directly to the location of the pristine submodule repo) for each one
I've also taken some care to make this forward compatible, both for adding and removing submodules.

travis: See if OSX generates crash dumps
I know for a fact we've had sccache segfault on various platforms and we've also
historically had a lot of problems with the linker on OSX. Let's just poke
around in the crash log directory to see if anything exists. If in the future we
see a build we think segfaulted *and* there's contents here then we can add some
bits that actually print out the logs.
There's a suspicion that the OOM killer is killing sccache (maybe) so this adds
some logging to test out that assumption to see if anything dies and is logged
by `dmesg`

When debugging why builds are taking so long it's often useful to get the
timestamp of all log messages as we're not always timing every tiny step of the
build. I wrote a [utility] for prepending a relative timestamp from the start of
a process which is now downloaded to the builders and is what we wrap the entire
build invocation in.

This commit updates Cargo with rust-lang/cargo#3820 which includes a fix for

travis: Remove compiling OpenSSL through homebrew
I don't believe that we need this any more now that `cargo-vendor` isn't
installed to create a source tarball (that only happens on Linux)
travis: Attempt to debug sccache failures
I can't find anything that'd cause unexpected EOF in the source, so let's try
taking a look at the error logs on failures.
This is a last-ditch attempt to help our pain with dealing with #38878 on the
bots. A new environment variable is added to the compiler,
`RUSTC_RETRY_LINKER_ON_SEGFAULT`, which will instruct the compiler to
automatically retry the final linker invocation if it looks like the linker
segfaulted (up to 2 extra times).
Unfortunately there have been no successful attempts to debug #38878. The only
information seems to be that the linker (e.g. `ld` on OSX) is segfaulting
somewhere in some thread pool implementation. This appears to be spurious as
failed PRs will later merge.
The hope is that this helps the queue keep moving without clogging and delaying
PRs due to #38878.
This change introduces a Dockerfile and script which builds a complete
Fuchsia toolchain which can be used to build Rust distribution for
Fuchsia. We only support cross-compiling at the moment, hence only
setting the target.
Travis only gives us 30GB disk space and we don't currently have an option to
increase that. Each musl target generates "hello world" binaries of about 3.5MB
in size, and we're testing two targets in the same image. We have around 3k
run-pass tests and 2 musl targets which works out to around 20GB. That's
dangerously close to the limit and is causing PRs to bounce.
This PR splits up the builder in two, one for x86_64 musl and the other for
i686. Hopefully that'll keep us under the disk limit.
Closes#40359
PRs can't land againt beta right now because the android bot is filling up on
disk space. I don't really know what's going on but the android bot is the
longest one to run anyway so it'll benefit from being split up regardless.
Now that mozilla/sccache#43 is fixed the caching works for MinGW on Windows. We
still can't use it for MSVC just yet, but I'll try to revive that branch at some
point.
This commit attempts to move more network operations to being retryable through
various operations. For example git submodule updates, downloading snapshots,
etc, are now all in retryable steps.
Hopefully this commit can cut down on the number of network failures we've been
seeing!
Currently CI builds can fail spuriously during the LLVM build (#39003). I
believe this is due to sccache, and I believe that in turn was due to the fact
that the sccache server used to just be a raw mio server. Historically raw mio
servers are quite complicated to get right, but this is why we built Tokio! The
sccache server has been migrated to Tokio which I suspect would fix any latent
issues.
I have no confirmation of this (never been able to reproduce the deadlock
locally), but my hunch is that updating sccache to the master branch will fix
the timeouts during the LLVM build.
The binaries previously came from Gecko's infrastructure, but I've built new
ones by hand for Win/Mac/Linux and uploaded them to our CI bucket.
travis: Add builders without assertions
This commit adds three new builders, one OSX, one Linux, and one MSVC, which
will produce "nightlies" with LLVM assertions disabled. Currently all nightly
releases have LLVM assertions enabled to catch bugs before they reach the
beta/stable channels. The beta/stable channels, however, do not have LLVM
assertions enabled.
Unfortunately though projects like Servo are stuck on nightlies for the near
future at least and are also suffering very long compile times. The purpose of
this commit is to provide artifacts to these projects which are not distributed
through normal channels (e.g. rustup) but are provided for developers to use
locally if need be.
Logistically these builds will all be uploaded to `rustc-builds-alt` instead of
the `rustc-builds` folder of the `rust-lang-ci` bucket. These builds will stay
there forever (until cleaned out if necessary) and there are no plans to
integrate this with rustup and/or the official release process.

Delete the makefile build system
This PR deletes the makefile build system in favor of the rustbuild build system. The beta has now been branched so 1.16 will continue to be buildable from the makefiles, but going forward 1.17 will only be buildable with rustbuild.
Rustbuild has been the default build system [since 1.15.0](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/37817) and the makefiles were [proposed for deletion](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/proposal-for-promoting-rustbuild-to-official-status/4368) at this time back in November of last year.
And now with the deletion of these makefiles we can start getting those sweet sweet improvements of using crates.io crates in the compiler!
Add support for test suites emulated in QEMU
This commit adds support to the build system to execute test suites that cannot
run natively but can instead run inside of a QEMU emulator. A proof-of-concept
builder was added for the `arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf` target to show off how
this might work.
In general the architecture is to have a server running inside of the emulator
which a local client connects to. The protocol between the server/client
supports compiling tests on the host and running them on the target inside the
emulator.
Closes#33114
travis: Gate on some minimal support for incremental compilation.
This commit adds a travis job that
1. builds a stage2 compiler in incremental mode (but with empty incremental compilation cache), and
2. builds and runs the run-pass test suite also in incremental mode.
Building incrementally with an empty cache makes sure that the compiler doesn't crash in dependency tracking during bootstrapping. Executing the incrementally built test suite gives some measure of confidence that we generate valid code.
Note, however, that the above does not give strong guarantees about the validity of incremental compilation, it just provides a basis for being able to rely on from-scratch incr. comp. builds as reference values in further tests (which then do actual incremental compilation).

Previously we only uploaded tarballs, but this modifies Travis/AppVeyor to
upload everything. We shouldn't have anything else in there to worry about and
otherwise we need to be sure to pick up pkg/msi/exe installers.
I've seen these take up quite a bit of log space and I have the sneaking
suspicion that they're just making our test suite take longer (sometimes timing
out on 32-bit OSX now). In any case the backtraces haven't proven too useful,
unfortunately.
Previously we only uploaded tarballs, but this modifies Travis/AppVeyor to

This commit adds a new flag to the configure script,
`--enable-extended`, which is intended for specifying a desire to
compile the full suite of Rust tools such as Cargo, the RLS, etc. This
is also an indication that the build system should create combined
installers such as the pkg/exe/msi artifacts.
Currently the `--enable-extended` flag just indicates that combined
installers should be built, and Cargo is itself not compiled just yet
but rather only downloaded from its location. The intention here is to
quickly get to feature parity with the current release process and then
we can start improving it afterwards.
All new files in this PR inside `src/etc/installer` are copied from the
rust-packaging repository.

We'll generate these later in the build process and otherwise they could just

require a newer glibc, but rather be as compatible as possible with Linux
distributions by working with a very old version of glibc.
This commit always allocates a new matrix entry for the i686/x86_64 builder.
This builder is dedicated to just producing artifacts and eventually we'll
expand it to building other tools like Cargo and the RLS. The other builders

travis: Expand dist builder coverage
This commit adds six new travis matrix entires for doing cross-compiled
distribution builds of the compiler. The support added in #38731 allows us to
quickly compile a complete suite of distribution artifacts for cross-compiled
platforms, and currently each matrix entry (when fully cached) clocks in around
an hour to finish. Note that a full test run typically takes about two hours
right now.
With further optimizations coming down the pike in #39026 this commit also
starts doubling up cross-compiled distribution builders on each matrix entry. We
initially planned to do one build per entry, but it's looking like we may be
able to get by with more than one in each entry. Depending on how long these
builds take we may even be able to up it to three, but we'll start with two
first.
This commit then completes the suite of cross-compiled compilers that we're
going to compile, adding it for a whole litany of platforms detailed in the
changes to the docker files here. The existing `cross` image is also trimmed
down quite a bit to avoid duplicate work, and we'll eventually provision it for
far more cross compilation as well.
Note that the gcc toolchains installed to compile most of these compilers are
inappropriate for actualy distribution. The glibc they pull in is much newer
than we'd like, so before we turn nightlies off we'll need to tweak these docker
files to custom build toolchains like the current `linux-cross` docker image
does.

If submodule init fails, try from scratch
See #39051
I wonder if the cause could be some strange not-quite-checked-out state in a submodule. Try and fix this by force deinitialising everything before initialising (this will not throw away downloaded objects, git will skip them on the next attempt at cloning).

This commit starts adding the infrastructure for uploading release artifacts
from AppVeyor/Travis on each commit. The idea is that eventually we'll upload a
full release to AppVeyor/Travis in accordance with plans [outlined earlier].
Right now this configures Travis/Appveyor to upload all tarballs in the `dist`
directory, and various images are updated to actually produce tarballs in these
directories. These are nowhere near ready to be actual release artifacts, but
this should allow us to play around with it and test it out. Once this commit
lands we should start seeing artifacts uploaded on each commit.

cc #38878
This commit optimizes the compile time for creating tarballs of cross-host
compilers and as a proof of concept adds two to the standard Travis matrix. Much
of this commit is further refactoring and refining of the `step.rs` definitions
along with the interpretation of `--target` and `--host` flags. This has gotten
confusing enough that I've also added a small test suite to
`src/bootstrap/step.rs` to ensure what we're doing works and doesn't regress.
After this commit when you execute:
./x.py dist --host $MY_HOST --target $MY_HOST
the build system will compile two compilers. The first is for the build platform
and the second is for the host platform. This second compiler is then packaged
up and placed into `build/dist` and is ready to go. With a fully cached LLVM and
docker image I was able to create a cross-host compiler in around 20 minutes
locally.
Eventually we plan to add a whole litany of cross-host entries to the Travis
matrix, but for now we're just adding a few before we eat up all the extra
capacity.
cc #38531
This commit adds a new entry to the Travis matrix which performs a "distcheck",
which basically means that we create a tarball, extract that tarball, and then
build/test inside there. This ensures that the tarballs we produce are actually
able to be built/tested!
Along the way this also updates the rustbuild distcheck definition to propagate
the configure args from the top-level invocation.
Closes#38691
rustbuild: Compile rustc twice, not thrice
This commit switches the rustbuild build system to compiling the
compiler twice for a normal bootstrap rather than the historical three
times.
Rust is a bootstrapped language which means that a previous version of
the compiler is used to build the next version of the compiler. Over
time, however, we change many parts of compiler artifacts such as the
metadata format, symbol names, etc. These changes make artifacts from
one compiler incompatible from another compiler. Consequently if a
compiler wants to be able to use some artifacts then it itself must have
compiled the artifacts.
Historically the rustc build system has achieved this by compiling the
compiler three times:
* An older compiler (stage0) is downloaded to kick off the chain.
* This compiler now compiles a new compiler (stage1)
* The stage1 compiler then compiles another compiler (stage2)
* Finally, the stage2 compiler needs libraries to link against, so it
compiles all the libraries again.
This entire process amounts in compiling the compiler three times.
Additionally, this process always guarantees that the Rust source tree
can compile itself because the stage2 compiler (created by a freshly
created compiler) would successfully compile itself again. This
property, ensuring Rust can compile itself, is quite important!
In general, though, this third compilation is not required for general
purpose development on the compiler. The third compiler (stage2) can
reuse the libraries that were created during the second compile. In
other words, the second compilation can produce both a compiler and the
libraries that compiler will use. These artifacts *must* be compatible
due to the way plugins work today anyway, and they were created by the
same source code so they *should* be compatible as well.
So given all that, this commit switches the default build process to
only compile the compiler two times, avoiding this third compilation
by copying artifacts from the previous one. Along the way a new entry in
the Travis matrix was also added to ensure that our full bootstrap can
succeed. This entry does not run tests, though, as it should not be
necessary.
To restore the old behavior of a full bootstrap (three compiles) you can
either pass:
./configure --enable-full-bootstrap
or if you're using config.toml:
[build]
full-bootstrap = true
Overall this will hopefully be an easy 33% win in build times of the
compiler. If we do 33% less work we should be 33% faster! This in turn
should affect cycle times and such on Travis and AppVeyor positively as
well as making it easier to work on the compiler itself.
travis: Don't use -9 on gzip
I timed this locally and plain old `gzip` took 2m06s while `gzip -9` took a
whopping 6m23s to save a mere 4MB out of 1.2GB. Let's shave a few minutes off
the Android builder by turning down the compression level.
This commit relegates all pretty tests to not get run by default and rather get
run as part of an "aux" test suite. This "aux" suite is renamed from the old
"cargotest" suite to just collect tests that don't need to run everywhere but
should at least pass on Unix/Windows.
This commit switches the rustbuild build system to compiling the
compiler twice for a normal bootstrap rather than the historical three
times.
Rust is a bootstrapped language which means that a previous version of
the compiler is used to build the next version of the compiler. Over
time, however, we change many parts of compiler artifacts such as the
metadata format, symbol names, etc. These changes make artifacts from
one compiler incompatible from another compiler. Consequently if a
compiler wants to be able to use some artifacts then it itself must have
compiled the artifacts.
Historically the rustc build system has achieved this by compiling the
compiler three times:
* An older compiler (stage0) is downloaded to kick off the chain.
* This compiler now compiles a new compiler (stage1)
* The stage1 compiler then compiles another compiler (stage2)
* Finally, the stage2 compiler needs libraries to link against, so it
compiles all the libraries again.
This entire process amounts in compiling the compiler three times.
Additionally, this process always guarantees that the Rust source tree
can compile itself because the stage2 compiler (created by a freshly
created compiler) would successfully compile itself again. This
property, ensuring Rust can compile itself, is quite important!
In general, though, this third compilation is not required for general
purpose development on the compiler. The third compiler (stage2) can
reuse the libraries that were created during the second compile. In
other words, the second compilation can produce both a compiler and the
libraries that compiler will use. These artifacts *must* be compatible
due to the way plugins work today anyway, and they were created by the
same source code so they *should* be compatible as well.
So given all that, this commit switches the default build process to
only compile the compiler three times, avoiding this third compilation
by copying artifacts from the previous one. Along the way a new entry in
the Travis matrix was also added to ensure that our full bootstrap can
succeed. This entry does not run tests, though, as it should not be
necessary.
To restore the old behavior of a full bootstrap (three compiles) you can
either pass:
./configure --enable-full-bootstrap
or if you're using config.toml:
[build]
full-bootstrap = true
Overall this will hopefully be an easy 33% win in build times of the
compiler. If we do 33% less work we should be 33% faster! This in turn
should affect cycle times and such on Travis and AppVeyor positively as
well as making it easier to work on the compiler itself.
The current image is `xcode7.3`, Travis's current default. Unfortunately this
has a version of LLDB which doesn't support debuginfo-lldb tests (see #32520),
so we're not running LLDB tests on Travis yet.
This switches us to the newest image from Travis, `xcode8.2`, which should have
a newer version of LLDB we can run tests against.
I timed this locally and plain old `gzip` took 2m06s while `gzip -9` took a
whopping 6m23s to save a mere 4MB out of 1.2GB. Let's shave a few minutes off
the Android builder by turning down the compression level.
travis: Fix testing 32-bit OSX target
We passed --target when we meant to pass --build, meaning we tested only the
standard library for 32-bit, not the whole compiler like we intended.
This commit adds support for sccache, a ccache-like compiler which works on MSVC
and stores results into an S3 bucket. This also switches over all Travis and
AppVeyor automation to using sccache to ensure a shared and unified cache over
time which can be shared across builders.
The support for sccache manifests as a new `--enable-sccache` option which
instructs us to configure LLVM differently to use a 'sccache' binary instead of
a 'ccache' binary. All docker images for Travis builds are updated to download
Mozilla's tooltool builds of sccache onto various containers and systems.
Additionally a new `rust-lang-ci-sccache` bucket is configured to hold all of
our ccache goodies.
This commit switches the default build system for Rust from the makefiles to
rustbuild. The rustbuild build system has been in development for almost a year
now and has become quite mature over time. This commit is an implementation of
the proposal on [internals] which slates deletion of the makefiles on
2016-01-02.

This commit also updates various documentation in `README.md`,
`CONTRIBUTING.md`, `src/bootstrap/README.md`, and throughout the source code of
rustbuild itself.
Closes#37858
This commit configures our `.travis.yml` to test the full suite of tests we have
on Buildbot right now. A whole mess of docker images are added to the `src/ci`
directory which represent all the build environments for each configuration.
Each of these environments is then configured in `.travis.yml` to run on the
auto branch.
Note that the full matrix of tests aren't intended to be run on all PRs.
Instead, we continue to run only one entry in the matrix, forcing all others to
finish quickly. Only the `auto` branch should run the full matrix of builds.
Also note that the infrastructure hasn't quite been allocated yet to the
rust-lang/rust repository, so everything is disabled for now except for the one
build that happens on PRs. Once that infrastructure is allocated though we can
enable this and let it fly!
Notable modifications from the current test suite today:
* Android tests are run in rustbuild instead of the makefiles, for whatever
reason I couldn't get the makefiles to work on Travis.
* A debuginfo test was updated to work with the current version of the Android
NDK.
* Some dependencies in `mk/tests.mk` were fixed to allow running tests in
parallel.
A few changes are included here:
* The `winapi` and `url` dependencies were dropped. The source code for these
projects is pretty weighty, and we're about to vendor them, so let's not
commit to that intake just yet. If necessary we can vendor them later but for
now it shouldn't be necessary.
* The `--frozen` flag is now always passed to Cargo, obviating the need for
tidy's `cargo_lock` check.
* Tidy was updated to not check the vendor directory
Closes#34687
Travis CI has new infrastructure using the Google Compute Engine which has both
faster CPUs and more memory, and we've been encouraged to switch as it should
help our build times! The only downside currently, however, is that IPv6 is
disabled, causing a number of standard library tests to fail.
Consequently this commit tweaks our travis config in a few ways:
* ccache is disabled as it's not working on GCE just yet
* Docker is used to run tests inside which reportedly will get IPv6 working
* A system LLVM installation is used instead of building LLVM itself. This is
primarily done to reduce build times, but we want automation for this sort of
behavior anyway and we can extend this in the future with building from source
as well if needed.
* gcc-specific logic is removed as the docker image for Ubuntu gives us a
recent-enough gcc by default.
It is very difficult to find tidy problems in the midst of the output of
the LLVM/jemalloc/etc. build, and travis is great for the former, so
lets remove that problem.
Tidy is still run first for failing fast on the easy stuff.
To accomplish this we have travis actually persist ccache across builds. This
has LLVM built within 6 minutes, and all of stage1 built within 18.
Caching should work on fresh PRs (cache acquired from the master branch).
Because all we persist is ccache, there is minimal danger of persisting corrupt
build state.
I had to mangle `configure` a bit to make --enable-ccache work when custom
compilers are provide via CC and CXX.
Instead, only run `make tidy`. The tidy script can run quite quickly, and it's
super annoying to run tests for 50 minutes only to have bors fail with a
"trailing whitespace" error.

It's looking like we're still timing out all over the place with travis_wait
because the entire `make -j4 rustc-stage1` command is taking too long. Instead,
achieve roughly the same idea by just having `-Z time-passes` printing
information. We shouldn't have a pass that takes longer than 10 minutes in
isolation.
The most frequent failure for our travis builds is running into the timeout
limits when building the compiler itself. Building librustc takes a very long
amount of time, often hitting the 10 minutes with no output threshold that
travis imposes on us.
This commit switches the relevant `make` step to being wrapped in the
`travis_wait` command [1]. This command will print something once a minute so as
to not time out a build.
This will hopefully enable us to have fewer flaky builds on travis!

This version is slightly more up to date and is closer to the 3.5 that we're
using. This also updates the travis config to have a build matrix which tests
rust against LLVM 3.3 and 3.4. For pull requests only LLVM 3.4 is tested to
reduce the load on travis.
This is mostly just fluff, there's no real reason to gate rust on these results,
it's more of just a nice thing to know when we break compatibility with LLVM 3.3
and 3.4 (and eventually 3.5). This turns off notifications of failed commits
(which are sent out for pushes to master).
Travis CI provides an easy-to-use continuous integration infrastructure for
github repos to use. Travis will automatically test all PRs which are opened
against the rust repository, informing PR owners of the test results.
I believe that this will be a very convenient piece of infrastructure as we'll
be able to reduce the load on bors quite a bit. In theory all PRs opened have
had the full test suite run against them, but unfortunately this is rarely the
case (I'm a prime suspect). Travis will be able to provide easy and relatively
quick (~30min) feedback for PRs. By ensuring fewer failures on bors, we can
hopefully feed more successful jobs to bors.
Overall, I expect this to be very helpful for new contributors as well as
regular contributors as it's another layer of tests being run which will
hopefully catch things sooner. One of the most convenient parts about using
Travis is that there's very little burden in terms of maintenance, and if things
go wrong we can easily turn travis completely off.
Note that this is *not* the metric by which a PR will be merged with. Using
travis will purely be another source for running tests, we will continue to gate
all PRs on bors.
