Hello Java Team and OpenJDK Team,

I'm hesitant to start filing potentially serious bugs at this point in the release cycle so please let me know if there's something I'm missing in
this situation.

I've been trying to get the bazel-bootstrap package to build on mips64el.
It's *almost* completing now but it runs into an error when trying to clean
an output directory.[1] This is using `deleteRecursively` from Guava [2]
which is supposed to delete files and directories recursively, as the name implies. However, it throws an error [3] complaining that the target is a directory. This error makes no sense and the code works just fine on all
other architectures supported by Bazel (amd64, arm64, ppc64el, s390x,
ppc64, and riscv64).

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

you could try to debug with java -zero / javac -J-zero on amd64.

It selects the "Zero" VM, which I assume is the one used on mips64el.

Hi,

This particular exception is being thrown by the call to unlinkat [1]
which calls native unlinkat. Man page for unlinkat describes EISDIR
error [2] as:
"EISDIR pathname refers to a directory, and AT_REMOVEDIR was not
specified in flags."

Assuming unlinkat is telling the truth and this is indeed a directory,
it can be seen from the stacktrace that deleteRecursivelySecure is
calling deleteFile [3] instead of deleteDir (deleteDir does set
AT_REMOVERDIR).

This seems to indicate that the isDirectory call [4] is getting wrong
file attributes. Following the trail, those file attributes come from
a fstatat call [5] which ultimately come from the native stack in UnixNativeDispatcher.c [6]. The actual way that fstatat is called
depends on the build flags and defines from the arch, so somebody with
better knowledge might want to take a look at UnixNativeDispatcher.c
[6] and tell if OpenJDK is picking the right function to call for
mips64el.

Ah, thanks for the explanation! It helped me to appropriately adjust build-depends. Hmm, it looks like Zero is not supported on MIPS at the
moment, but perhaps that site is just out-of-date?

Thanks for the excellent analysis! So is this indeed a bug in OpenJDK on mips64el then? I'm happy to file the bug, referencing all of the

The log just shows that the compiler is called once with -J-zero, so I assume that you use the hotspot VM for anything else.

You could also try to edit
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.11.0-openjdk-amd64/lib/jvm.cfg
moving the zero line to the top, and then use the zero VM by default:

$ java --version

There only Zero on mips64el for all current OpenJDKs. Zero for mips64el should be supported since

Thing is, there is hardly anyone who supports mips64el in OpenJDK upstream. I think Debian folks are
the most heavy users of it :) So, while you can submit a bug upstream, I don't think there is a high
chance anyone picks it up. You can try to ask here:
https://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/mips-port

It looks to me that Zero mips64el is another instance of SecureDirectoryStream bug tail:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/issues/?jql=text%20~%20%22SecureDirectoryStream%22

If there is the mips64el machine where this reproduces, the next step would be trying the mainline
JDK NIO tests, something like:

$ git clone https://github.com/openjdk/jdk
$ cd jdk
$ wget https://builds.shipilev.net/jtreg/jtreg.zip
$ unzip jtreg.zip
$ ./configure --with-debug-level=fastdebug --with-jtreg=./jtreg
$ make run-test TEST=java/nio

...and if that does not yield failures, then MCVE would be needed.

I would like to pick it up. However, I am on vacation at the moment
and did not have a mips64el machine on hand. If time permits, I will
return to the company in three days to follow up on this issue.

I tried to dpkg-buildpackage bazel-bootstrap, but I failed to
reproduce the issue. It seems a long time is needed. Is there a
simpler way to reproduce the problem?

Just FYI, we had a workaround for another issue. I don't know if it
has anything to do with this problem.

simpler way to reproduce the problem?

When you say that you failed to reproduce the issue, do you mean that the bazel-bootstrap package was built correctly or that you experienced a
different error? Regarding a simple example, this [1] is what causes the problem so adapting this snippet to delete a test directory should allow
you to reproduce the problem. A guava dependency should allow you to
satisfy this: `import com.google.common.io.MoreFiles`. But I'm not
exactly a Java expert so I may be missing something here.

Regarding the long build times, if you are able to build in a persistent environment that should speed up the build. Bazel only rebuilds changed
code so reusing the same build environment should speed up subsequent
builds. (I have done this when building software with Bazel but not with building Bazel itself because I always build Debian packages in a clean environment)

Just FYI, we had a workaround for another issue. I don't know if it

has anything to do with this problem.

That looks like it may be related (from what I can tell)! I assume that workaround is not in the current mips64el OpenJDK in Debian? If you can
confirm on your system that your workaround fixes the problem shown in [1]
then it would be great to have that fix available in Debian!

Ah, thanks for the explanation! It helped me to appropriately adjust

build-depends. Hmm, it looks

like Zero is not supported on MIPS at the moment, but perhaps that

site is just out-of-date?

There only Zero on mips64el for all current OpenJDKs. Zero for

mips64el should be supported since

JDK 10, see JDK-8186313:

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8186313

...so openjdk-11 is supposed to work.

Ok, I made a mistake previously and only activated Zero for the bootstrap
Bazel build and not for the main Bazel build. The latest version in experimental should have both enabled [2] but it is still failing with the
same error.

Thing is, there is hardly anyone who supports mips64el in OpenJDK

upstream. I think Debian folks are

the most heavy users of it :) So, while you can submit a bug upstream,

I don't think there is a high

chance anyone picks it up. You can try to ask here:

That's unfortunate. :( Would filing a bug in Debian make more sense then?
That way, if we can figure out a fix, it can at least be applied to Debian.

I would like to pick it up. However, I am on vacation at the moment
and did not have a mips64el machine on hand. If time permits, I will
return to the company in three days to follow up on this issue.

Thanks for the follow-up! It sounds like we may have a better idea of
what's going on now.

It looks to me that Zero mips64el is another instance of

SecureDirectoryStream bug tail:

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/issues/?jql=text%20~%20%22SecureDirectoryStream%22

If there is the mips64el machine where this reproduces, the next step

would be trying the mainline

JDK NIO tests, something like:

$ git clone https://github.com/openjdk/jdk
$ cd jdk
$ wget https://builds.shipilev.net/jtreg/jtreg.zip
$ unzip jtreg.zip
$ ./configure --with-debug-level=fastdebug --with-jtreg=./jtreg
$ make run-test TEST=java/nio

...and if that does not yield failures, then MCVE would be needed.

Does anyone here have easy access to a mips64el machine to try this?

Update: I see that a new version of OpenJDK 11 is currently building for mips64el. Does this new version address the directory deletion issue?

If so, then yay and thanks. If not, I'll go ahead and just report a bug
against the Debian package so it's easier to track. I'm thinking Severity Important, does that sound fair?

Thanks!

The build still fails with the same error so I reported the bug. [1] Please comment there if you have any additional information to help address it. Thanks!
