Replace the one-runner-per-configuration matrices across the
make-check workflow family with a generic pooled runner,
.github/scripts/parallel-make-check.py. Each workflow keeps its
configuration list as JSON next to the invocation; one runner (or a
small fixed set of shards, balanced by measured per-config minutes)
builds every config in its own out-of-tree (VPATH) build directory off
a single checkout/autogen, on a pool of one-per-CPU worker threads,
longest first. Concurrent checks are isolated with bubblewrap network
namespaces, compilations are cached with ccache, the first failure
aborts the rest (fail-fast, with --no-fail-fast to run everything),
and per-config timings plus pool efficiency land in the step summary.
Failure logs upload as artifacts. smoke-test.yml is likewise reworked
into a single pooled job that runs its nine configs on one runner.
Converted workflows (runner jobs per full pass):
os-check.yml 101 -> 8 (92 Ubuntu configs -> 4 shards;
the macOS matrix, the user-settings jobs and
the standalone
macos-apple-native-cert-validation.yml fold
into one macOS runner; Windows unchanged)
pq-all.yml 21 -> 2 shards
disable-pk-algs.yml 15 -> 1
wolfCrypt-Wconversion.yml 11 -> 1
trackmemory.yml 7 -> 1
cryptocb-only.yml 8 -> 1 (incl. the two new SHA512 entries)
multi-compiler.yml 6 -> 1
smallStackSize.yml 6 -> 1
multi-arch.yml 6 -> 1
async.yml 5 -> 1
psk.yml 5 -> 1
no-malloc.yml 3 -> 1
wolfsm.yml 3 -> 1
opensslcoexist.yml 2 -> 1
Measured against current upstream passing runs (job execution time,
queue excluded): ~200 runner jobs / ~374 runner-minutes per full pass
become 23 jobs / ~168 runner-minutes, with more coverage than before.
multi-arch's old matrix combined an "include" list of four
architectures with an "opts" axis; GitHub's include-merge rules made
each arch entry overwrite the previous one, so only the armel
combinations actually ran. The pooled list restores the intended
aarch64/armhf/riscv64 coverage (23 combinations; riscv64 x sp-math is
omitted as invalid - configure rejects sp-math without SP, and
--enable-riscv-asm, unlike --enable-sp-asm, does not bring SP in).
Out-of-tree build fixes this depends on:
- Makefile.am: symlink the read-only test data (certs/, tests/ config
files, sniffer captures and helpers, examples/crypto_policies,
input, quit) into the build tree via a BUILT_SOURCES stamp, removed
again in distclean-local. ChangeToWolfRoot() and the script tests
resolve everything relative to the working directory, so out-of-tree
make check and make distcheck now pass.
- scripts/multi-msg-record.py: locate the client binary from the build
tree working directory rather than the script's source directory.
- configure.ac + wolfssl/include.am: run
support/gen-debug-trace-error-codes.sh from $srcdir; it reads the
error-code headers from the source tree and generates into the build
tree.
- tests/swdev: a WOLFBUILD variable points the sub-make at the build
tree for the configure-generated headers (wolfssl/options.h,
wolfssl/version.h); the in-tree-only guards are dropped.
Portions of PR #10649 are incorporated: the cross-platform
ccache-setup composite action, repository_owner gates on check-headers
and check-source-text, the docs-only paths-ignore on os-check, and the
libspdm timeout bumps.
Add a software crypto-callback device (wc_swdev) that lets the wolfcrypt
test suite run under WOLF_CRYPTO_CB_ONLY_* flags without per-test devId
plumbing. The bundle is a separately-compiled second copy of wolfcrypt
(software implementations enabled, WOLF_CRYPTO_CB_ONLY_* stripped) linked
into testwolfcrypt as a single relocatable object; every symbol is demoted
to local via objcopy --keep-global-symbol except wc_SwDev_Callback, so there
is no collision with the main libwolfssl.
A find callback routes unbound operations (devId == INVALID_DEVID) to the
swdev while letting real device IDs pass through.
wc_SwDev_Init / wc_SwDev_Cleanup hooks are wired into wolfcrypt/test/test.c.
cryptocb_test's WOLF_CRYPTO_CB_FIND and WOLF_CRYPTO_CB_ONLY_RSA blocks are
gated off under WOLFSSL_SWDEV.
Enable via --enable-swdev (requires --enable-cryptocb).
