Team,

Both Firefox and Thunderbird on a Raspberry Pi 3 in 64 bit mode appear to stall at

I left firefox for over 48h.
There is no CPU activity, 148M in swap.

It appears to want to rum some java and there is a selection of java-vm installed.
Code:
Pi3 64bit ~ # eselect java-vm list
Available Java Virtual Machines:
  [1]   icedtea-7  system-vm
  [2]   icedtea-8
  [3]   oracle-jdk-bin-1.8


Any hints as to how to investigate this?

I think this problem is not 64 bit specific. A user reported this last year on arm, but did not follow up on it:
https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-user/message/b2a663a8785f27b09ffdedc6032c81bf

Also at least one other user has independently rediscovered this issue, but nobody bothered to report a bug apparently: My first idea would be to check if a manual build works, and if it does disable Gentoo specific stuff like sandbox.

chithanh,

Thanks, I'll try that when libreoffice finishes building. That probably won't be today.

Neddy,
I just had the same thing happen with thunderbird on my Ryzen ~amd64 systems. There's a post on bugzilla that said downgrading sandbox to 2.10-r1 worked for some, so I tried it but failed with exactly the same error.

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=580726 I am running gcc-7.1.0-r1, so there's that....

wrc1944,

There is also https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617882.

As I posted on the bug, there is no logic behind the workaround there.

Just to chime in...

I'm also seeing this on Ryzen with gcc-7.1.0-r1, have not had time to look onto it much, and did not record the error message in dmesg, but easy to reproduce, oom killer kicks it out which was a surprise since I have 32G of ram.

well FWIW setting USE="custom-cflags custom-optimization" for firefox and emerging with:
Code:

CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS} -mno-avx" emerge -1v firefox

Worked fine here.

thumper,
On thunderbird-52.1.1
Code:
CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS} -mno-avx" emerge thunderbird
worked perfectly for me on ~amd64 Ryzen system, gcc-7.1.0-r1. :)

Thanks much to you and Neddy for the tips. Much appreciated.

FWIW.

For firefox-54.0 and thunderbird-52.2.0 I had to change it to the following to get them installed.

Code:

CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS} -Os -mno-avx" USE="custom-cflags custom-optimization" emerge -1v firefox
CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS} -Os -mno-avx" USE="custom-cflags custom-optimization" emerge -1v thunderbird


YMMV.

Did your emerge for firefox-54.0 also require rust and cargo?
Emering rust itself requires rustc so I first built it from git src and installed in /usr/local.
But now (unlike build from git src) emerge for rust fails with errors like:
Code:
# grep error.*: build.log | sort | uniq -c
     74 error[E0433]: failed to resolve. Could not find `Try` in `ops`
      1 error: requires `freeze` lang_item
      5 error: unused macro definition

here is the emerge -pv of firefox:
Code:
# emerge -pv firefox

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

mDup,

The rust and cargo ebuilds fetch the birnaries that they need to build with.
If this is arm64 they both need patches but they are keyworded for ~arm64 and ~x86.

The arm64 patches and instructions are on the Gentoo Wiki

My emerge log for that day shows:
Code:
     Thu Jun 15 17:38:11 2017 >>> dev-lang/rust-1.16.0
     Thu Jun 15 17:41:35 2017 >>> dev-util/cargo-0.17.0
     Thu Jun 15 20:14:42 2017 >>> www-client/firefox-54.0
     Thu Jun 15 20:49:22 2017 >>> mail-client/thunderbird-52.2.0


I'm on x86_64 (Ryzen) and the build for firefox and thunderbird failed with the same error as mentioned in this post.
I would guess that ARM has the avx processor flag as well that seems to be at the root of the problem.

According to this rustc is part of rust:
Code:
#  equery belongs /usr/bin/rustc
 * Searching for /usr/bin/rustc ...
dev-lang/rust-1.16.0 (/usr/bin/rustc-1.16.0)

thumper,

Nope. Setting -fno-avx on arm64 upsets gcc. Its not a legal setting.

Interesting, same failure, different cause, well, not being a user of ARM I will step out. :)

Hmmmm.. FWIW, one of my ~amd64 Ryzen systems also pulled in rust (didn't notice cargo though). Guess it was firefox that needed it, but I do also have Thunderbird on one of my Ryzen systems. IIRC rust took quite a while to compile, even on a pretty powerful system.

wrc1944,

That's the bundled LLVM.

Code:
aarch64 NeddySeagoon_Static / # genlop -t rust cargo firefox
 * dev-lang/rust

     Sun Jun 18 04:30:42 2017 >>> dev-lang/rust-1.16.0-r100
       merge time: 7 hours, 8 minutes and 6 seconds.

 * dev-util/cargo

     Sun Jun 18 10:07:42 2017 >>> dev-util/cargo-0.17.0
       merge time: 36 minutes and 7 seconds.

 * www-client/firefox

     Tue Jun 20 21:14:21 2017 >>> www-client/firefox-54.0
       merge time: 2 hours, 51 minutes and 8 seconds.


--- edit ---

Posting this update from firefox-54.0 built with rust and cargo in an aarch64 chroot then installed on a 64 bit Raspberry Pi 3.
Code:
FEATURES="-sandbox -usersandbox" MAKEOPTS="-j8" emerge firefox
is ugly though.

rust and cargo emerge fine natively

native firefox 54.0 emerge has same problem as reported by others (and myself) elsewhere

Code:
Executing /var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-54.0/work/firefox-54.0/ff/dist/bin/xpcshell -g /var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-54.0/work/firefox-54.0/ff/dist/bin/ -a /var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-54.0/work/firefox-54.0/ff/dist/bin/ -f /var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-54.0/work/firefox-54.0/toolkit/mozapps/installer/precompile_cache.js -e precompile_startupcache("resource://gre/");


takes forever

mDup,

Turn off the sandbox.
Code:
FEATURES="-sandbox -usersandbox" emerge firefox -av
worked for me.
Firefox-54.0 runs on a Pi3 too. I have not tested audio yet.

I also have

@NeddySeagoon
Thanks for expert advice. firefox-54.0 builds now (no patch needed).
Unfortunately I regularly get 'Segmentation fault's. Even with entire mozilla files cleaned.
But that may be my specific problem.
update
firefox-54.0 runs fine under 4.12.x (of course: no audio as it is WIP on amlogic mainline)
