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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

There's been some flaky runs on Travis where the Android emulator is having
problems staying alive... presumably? For example:
* https://travis-ci.org/rust-lang/rust/jobs/186736745
This commit spawns the emulator in the same way as buildbot with `nohup` to hope
that it goes into the background successfully, followed by a `wait-for-device`
command. I'm not actually sure if this'll fix the problems we're seeing, but I
figure it can't hurt to test out.
This commit configures local sccache directory to get used if you're running
builds locally to enjoy the benefits of caching when running inside the
containers.
Recently the Cargo revision running on cargotest was updated in #38051, and the
updated version of Cargo pulls in the openssl-sys 0.9 crate instead of the old
openssl-sys 0.7 crate. The 0.9 release of openssl-sys has slightly different
requirements and logic for detecting OpenSSL, namely it requires `pkg-config` to
be present on Linux typically.
This commit fixes this problem by installing pkg-config in the cargotest
container that's running on the bots. This in turn should hopefully fix the
build script and allow it to find the already-installed local OpenSSL libraries.
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.
After reading some articles [1] [2] yesterday about Docker and the "init"
process I got to thinking about the problems that we've been seeing on Travis.
The basic problem is that a Linux system may need an "init" process to work
properly when processes become zombies. Docker by default doesn't handle this
and the root process typically isn't an init process, so this can occasionally
cause quite a few problems.
We've been seeing spurious errors on Travis inside containers which look like
OOM and such, but my guess is that zombie processes were being reparented to the
top-level shell. The shell didn't expect the zombies and then behaved very
strangely.
This commit fixes these problems by using Yelp's "dumb-init" program [2] as the
init process in all of our containers. This ensures that there's a valid init
ready to reap children when they're reparented, which our test suite apparently
generates a bunch of throughout the tests and such.

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.
[internals]: https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/proposal-for-promoting-rustbuild-to-official-status/4368
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.
