Lots of [host-user-contaminated] warning

Lots of [host-user-contaminated] warning

[Andreas Müller]

Hi,

this bugs me for a while and I wonder if I am again the only one
facing this: I get floods of warnings for sourcecode files as

WARNING: QA Issue: qtserialport:

I checked PACKAGE_DEBUG_SPLIT_STYLE is not set globally - few recipes
set PACKAGE_DEBUG_SPLIT_STYLE to debug-without-src.

Help appreciated

I see this also in my builds. The warnings clutter the build output in a
way that makes the warnings mostly useless. Who will spot the one
important new warning in the hundreds of host-user-contaminated ones?
A fresh build of core-image-minimal today gave me 54 of these warnings.
All but one (glibc-locale) complaining on source files.

I checked a few recipes and most of them were not even using a custom
do_install but autotools generated 'make install' with something like
'cp -p src/* dest/' or so.

Even if I know how to do it I think we should not patch upstream sources
to suppress a warning introduced by the downstream build system with
loads of false positives and then have to maintain the patches as
upstream is progressing.

I haven't looked into how one does it but I'm inclined to switch of the
warning globally, e.g. in local.conf.

I'm seeing similar warnings as well.
I'm building from /home which I believe is susposed to be exempt from this test.
Not sure how to fix / avoid the problem.

Yes, this is the most common case. Usage of cp -a or cp -p means the build
ownership is retained, and no chown is run to fix it.

Either we're calling the upstream buildsystem and not running cp directly,
in which case it's a bug in the upstream buildsystem, since make install
will result in non-deterministic behavior in the ownership of the installed
files, or it's a cp -a case, which doesn't require altering upstream with a
patch at all, only recipe modification.

Blindly disabling them will just result in ignoring a problem. Files in the
target filesystem are owned by your build user, who most likely doesn't
even exist on target.

For me the issues are all reported with -dbg packages.
All are source files in /<packagename>-dbg/usr/src/debug/<packagename>/...
Last build had 126 packages with the warning.
Including things like:
gcc-linaro-4.9: gcc: 
/gcc-dbg/usr/src/debug/gcc/linaro-4.9-r2015.06/gcc-linaro-4.9-2015.06/build.arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi.arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/gcc/tm-preds.h is owned by uid 
1000, which is the same as the user running bitbake. This may be due to host contamination [host-user-contaminated]
systemd-226+gitAUTOINC+4211d5bd13: systemd: /systemd-dbg/usr/src/debug/systemd/1_226+gitAUTOINC+4211d5bd13-r0/git/src/udev/scsi_id/scsi_serial.c is owned by uid 
1000, which is the same as the user running bitbake. This may be due to host contamination [host-user-contaminated]
perl-5.22.0: perl: /perl-dbg/usr/src/debug/perl/5.22.0-r0/perl-5.22.0/ext/re/re_exec.c is owned by uid 1000, which is the same as the user running bitbake. This 
may be due to host contamination [host-user-contaminated]

Sounds like a bug in the packaging code, likely straightforward to resolve.
Open a bug in the bug tracking system.

I got rid of these messages by doing the following replacements in do_install 
and package install scripts:

Instead of "cp -r -p ..." use "cp -r --preserve=mode,links ..."
Instead of "cp -a ..." use "cp -R --no-dereference --preserve=mode,links ..."

This fixes these QA warnings in a more structured way than running a blunt 
"chown root:root ..."

Don't you get me wrong, fixing the issues are a good plan. My point is
that currently there are so many [host-user-contaminated] warnings,
more or less all with -dbg packages, that I fear to overlook a warning
which is more likely to indicate a bug that is going haunt me.

G'day Mike,

Was this on a recipe by recipe basis?
I've reported the following bug at https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8939
But told we need to update the recipes on a recipe by recipe.
I'm still learning bitbake, yocto and angstron relationships.
So far I at a loss on where to look.
eg: getting a problem with glib-2.22 which I can only find references to in openembedded-core.
But they suggest problem is in on of my extra layers.
