Introduction

The TuxSuite CLI supports two services: TuxBuild and TuxTest.

TuxBuild

TuxBuild Logo

TuxBuild is an on demand API for building massive quantities of Linux kernels in parallel. It is used at scale in production by LKFT and ClangBuiltLinux as well as many individual Linux kernel engineers.

TuxBuild is accessed by running tuxsuite build and tuxsuite build-set.

TuxTest

TuxTest Logo

TuxTest is an on demand API for testing Linux kernels reliably and quickly. It is currently in Beta phase and is already available to TuxBuild users.

Install and Configure

Install using pip

TuxSuite requires Python version 3.6 or greater, and is available using pip.

To install tuxsuite on your system globally:

sudo pip3 install -U tuxsuite

To install tuxsuite to your home directory at ~/.local/bin:

pip3 install -U --user tuxsuite

To upgrade tuxsuite to the latest version, run the same command you ran to install it.

Install using Debian packages

TuxSuite provides Debian packages that have minimal dependencies, and should work on any Debian or Debian-based (Ubuntu, etc) system.

  1. Download the repository signing key and save it to /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/tuxsuite.gpg.
# wget -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/tuxsuite.gpg https://repo.tuxsuite.com/packages/signing-key.gpg
  1. Create /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tuxsuite.list with the following contents:
deb https://repo.tuxsuite.com/packages/ ./
  1. Install tuxsuite as you would any other package:
apt update
apt install tuxsuite

Upgrading tuxsuite will work just like it would for any other package (apt update, apt upgrade).

Install using RPM packages

TuxSuite provides RPM packages that have minimal dependencies, and should work on any RPM-based (Fedora, etc) system.

  1. Create /etc/yum.repos.d/tuxsuite.repo with the following contents:
[tuxsuite]
name=tuxsuite
type=rpm-md
baseurl=https://repo.tuxsuite.com/packages/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://repo.tuxsuite.com/packages/repodata/repomd.xml.key
enabled=1
  1. Install tuxsuite as you would any other package:
dnf install tuxsuite

Upgrades will be available in the same repository, so you can get them using the same procedure you already use to get other updates for your system.

Install using docker

tuxsuite is also available as a docker container at tuxsuite/tuxsuite.

For example, to run tuxsuite via docker:

docker run tuxsuite/tuxsuite tuxsuite build --help

Running uninstalled

If you don't want to or can't install TuxSuite, you can run it directly from the source directory. After getting the sources via git or something else, there is a run script that will do the right thing for you: you can either use that script directly, or symlink it to a directory in your PATH.

/path/to/tuxsuite/run --help
sudo ln -s /path/to/tuxsuite/run /usr/local/bin/tuxsuite && tuxsuite --help

Setup Config

The Authentication token needs to be stored in ~/.config/tuxsuite/config.ini. The minimal format of the ini file is given below:

$ cat ~/.config/tuxsuite/config.ini
[default]
token=vXXXXXXXYYYYYYYYYZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZg

Alternatively, the TUXSUITE_TOKEN environment variable may be provided.

If you do not have a tuxsuite token, please reach out to us at tuxsuite@linaro.org.

Examples

tuxsuite build

Submit a build request using the tuxsuite command line interface. This will wait for the build to complete before returning by default.

tuxsuite build --git-repo 'https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git' --git-ref master --target-arch arm64 --kconfig defconfig --toolchain gcc-9

tuxsuite build-set

Create a tuxsuite config file with a basic set of build combinations defined.

cat <<EOF > basic.yaml
sets:
  - name: basic
    builds:
      - {target_arch: arm,    toolchain: gcc-9,    kconfig: multi_v7_defconfig}
      - {target_arch: arm,    toolchain: gcc-10,   kconfig: multi_v7_defconfig}
      - {target_arch: arm,    toolchain: clang-10, kconfig: multi_v7_defconfig}
      - {target_arch: arm64,  toolchain: gcc-9,    kconfig: defconfig}
      - {target_arch: arm64,  toolchain: gcc-10,   kconfig: defconfig}
      - {target_arch: arm64,  toolchain: clang-10, kconfig: defconfig}
      - {target_arch: i386,   toolchain: gcc-9,    kconfig: defconfig}
      - {target_arch: i386,   toolchain: gcc-10,   kconfig: defconfig}
      - {target_arch: x86_64, toolchain: gcc-9,    kconfig: defconfig}
      - {target_arch: x86_64, toolchain: gcc-10,   kconfig: defconfig}
      - {target_arch: x86_64, toolchain: clang-10, kconfig: defconfig}
      - {target_arch: arc,    toolchain: gcc-10,   kconfig: hsdk_defconfig}
      - {target_arch: riscv,  toolchain: gcc-10,   kconfig: defconfig}
      - {target_arch: mips,   toolchain: gcc-10,   kconfig: ci20_defconfig}
EOF
# Build the build set defined in the config file named 'basic.yaml'
tuxsuite build-set --git-repo 'https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git' --git-ref master --tux-config basic.yaml --set-name basic

All the parameters can be specified in the build-set itself and invoke tuxsuite tuxsuite build-set --tux-config <basic>.yaml --set-name <set-name>

tuxsuite plan

Submit a plan request using the tuxsuite command line interface. The plan file describes the list of builds along with the tests to run for each successful build. When one build is finished, the corresponding test is automatically started.

Create a plan configuration file:

version: 1

  - {toolchain: gcc-8, target_arch: arm64, kconfig: defconfig}

Submit the plan with:

tuxsuite plan --git-repo https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git --git-ref master plan.yaml

tuxsuite test

Submit a test request using the tuxsuite command line interface. This will wait for the test to complete before returning.

tuxsuite test --device qemu-x86_64 --kernel https://storage.tuxboot.com/x86_64/bzImage --tests ltp-smoke

tuxsuite results

The results sub-command provide a way to get the status of a build/test/plan that has been previously submitted.

The results sub-command when invoked without any arguments shows the latest builds, tests, and plans that have been previously submitted by the user.

tuxsuite results

The build option fetches the results of the build based on the given uid

tuxsuite results --build 1t26TJROt6zoxIw3YS2OlMXMGzK

The test option fetches the results of the test based on the given uid

tuxsuite results --test 1s20dnMkE94e3BHW8pEbOWuyL6z

The plan option fetches the results of the plan based on the given uid

tuxsuite results --plan 1t2UxTeU15WDwvhloPFUqjmr3CX

Projects and Developers using tuxsuite

  • LKFT - Linaro's Linux Kernel Functional Testing uses tuxsuite with gitlab-ci to continuously build upstream Linux kernels. The kernels are then functionally tested on a variety of hardware using LAVA.
  • ClangBuiltLinux uses TuxBuild to validate hundreds of combinations of Linux kernels and LLVM environments.
  • Lee Jones uses a GitLab CI pipeline to validate his 3.18 kernel maintainership. The gitlab pipeline, tuxsuite config, and README.md documenting its setup are defined in the kernel-pipeline repository.

Community and Support

The TuxSuite team may be engaged through chat, email, or gitlab issues.

To chat with us, join our public Discord, or our IRC channels #tuxsuite and #tuxmake on Libera Chat.

Questions, comments or feedback are always welcome by private email at tuxsuite@linaro.org.

Finally, gitlab issues are used to track bugs and feature requests in both tuxsuite and tuxmake projects.
