Hi all!

Trunk trees are currently closed [1] - the requirements for reopening are:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=932781#c11

tl;dr we need owners for these bugs:
* https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=932898
* https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=932880

Please can anyone who has any spare cycles take a look! :-)

Best wishes,

[1] Apart from b2g-inbound, since that doesn't run Windows 7 tests, 
which are the ones that are being the most problematic.

Agreed. Central repo and mandatory approval is not what Mozilla is IMO. While 
there are some gains from such move, I think it hurts freedom and openness more.

Essentially the browser has become an operating system, where apps/addons could 
be installed to it, including malwares. However, consider what happens if 
Microsoft or Apple would not let any app run unless it's approved on their main 
desktop OS? Look at the open community response to IOS closed garden.

What about companies who have private addons for their own employees which they 
don't want to share with Mozilla? What about addons which are against some US 
regulations? can we stop the government from preventing Mozilla approving 
those? What about addons which are against Mozilla's philosophy? Do we wanna 
stop those? Would we?

This really is a line Mozilla should not cross IMO.

Mozilla may provide signing for those who request it, or even maintain a 
repository of malware hashes (sort of antivirus), but making mandatory approval 
of addons is not something I'd like to see.

Re: Layer Construction for Off Main Thread

2013-10-31 Thread Nicolas Silva
With OMTC these days the Layer classes don't hold any logic. All the fancy
stuff goes into classes inheriting from CompositableClient (and
CompositableHost on the compositor side). While Layer classes can only be
manipulated from the main thread and use the PLayerTransaction IPDL
protocol to sync with the compositor, Compositable classes can be used by
either the PLayerTransaction or the PImageBridge protocol. The logic to
attach a Compositable using PImageBridge to a Layer using PLayerTransaction
is rather simple (look at ImageClientBridge and ImageContainer) and mostly
implemented in the CompositableClient/Host abstraction so you don't have to
redo most of it.

As Nick said you could have on the main thread a dummy CanvasClient
analogous to ImageClientBridge which just forward an "asyncID" which is the
ID used to connect the layer and the compositable on the compositor side,
and on the ImageBridge thread you would have the usual CanvasClient. Then
you'd need the equivalent of ImageContainer that would interface with the
WebGLContext and forward frames to the ImageClient on the ImageBridge
thread.

This is the way we do with async video, which works well.

This email is probably a bit confusing if you haven't looked at the
Compositable stuff yet, so don't hesitate to ping me and ask questions
about the compositor's IPC stuff and async updates.

Cheers,

Nical

Hello all,
I would like to re-visit this.

I would like to look into stop running tests and talos for 10.7 and
re-purpose those machines as 10.6 machines.
* We have many more users on 10.6 than on 10.7.
* No new updates have been given to 10.6 since July 2011 [1]
* No new updates have been given to 10.7 since October, 2012 [2]

This will improve our current Mac OSX testing wait times.

On another note, 10.9 has come out and I already started seeing a decent
dip on 10.8 users (since it is a free update).

On another note, I would like to consider stop running jobs on 10.8 and
only run them on 10.9 once we have the infrastructure up and running.

cheers,
Armen

I'm in the same boat here working in a government environment and, though 
Firefox is my preferred browser, it is no longer usable for me. We put out our 
own certificates which are populated in the local cert store. That means that 
every browser will find them except Firefox and importing certs from the local 
store into Firefox's is too much for us to do on a large scale and even though 
Firefox usually asks for approval of an unknown cert when going to a page there 
have been times where it doesn't and I had to uninstall and reinstall the 
browser to get it to work. Using CACs is another issue though I was able to 
find a pluggin created by DISA at http://www.forge.mil/Resources-Firefox.html 
that allows Firefox to read them. There really should be a setting for Firefox 
to use the local store as an option or Firefox will rapidly fall into the realm 
of obsolescence when it comes to government and enterprise environments. In the 
mean time I am obligated to use Chrome.

+1 to repurposing all rev4s as 10.6 slaves and all rev5s as 10.9!

I guess the only question is how many people are stuck on 10.7 (my 
understanding is that some 10.7-supporting hardware configurations 
aren't supported on 10.9) and is that population large enough that we 
explicitly need to test for them?


My offhand recollection is that the main discrepancies between the 
different OSX versions we see in our test infrastructure largely have to 
do with what hardware they're running on and whether OMTC is enabled or 
not. So IMO, 10.6 on rev4 w/o OMTC and 10.9 on rev5 w/ OMTC is probably 
representative enough that we aren't likely to miss any major regressions.

Can we agree on using the using directive instead of typedefs when it comes to

typedefs.

I believe this is not valid C++, sadly.  g++ gives me:

  error: using-declaration for non-member at class scope

whereas clang++ gives me:

  error: using declaration in class refers into 'mozilla::gfx::', which
 is not a class

Yes, that's pretty sucky.  But as a result the typedef option is the

This last point is very important. It's very important that CanvasClient
and ImageBridge and stuff like that not exposed outside the layers system.

I think someone from gfx really needs to help with this part.

This compiles using g++ for me.

}
}

using foo::bar::baz;
class nsSVGUtils
{
public:
  static baz GetFillRule(baz* aElement);
};

int main(void) {

If we put that in nsSVGUtils.h, then that "using" directive brings "baz"
into the global scope for every translation unit that needs to #include
nsSVGUtils.h, which is no good. Putting a typedef in the class makes "baz"
available only within nsSVGUtils, which is what we want.

C++ just sucks here :-(.

Ugh, you're right :( I had originally tested in a class-less function. Within 
class declarations "using" is only good for things in the base class.

Both Microsoft and Apple have investigated ways of making it harder to
run unapproved/unsigned apps on their operating systems
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatekeeper_%28OS_X%29,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control). They have a
responsibility to protect their users against malware, and Mozilla
finds itself in a very similar position.

Look at the end-user response to the IOS closed garden - they need to
worry a lot less about malware. That's one of its biggest benefits
(which of course are traded off against the downsides of a lack of
developer freedom).

I don't think this particular proposal necessarily strikes the right
balance, but we don't get to say "we are open and thus it must be a
free for all". Add-on ecosystem freedom needs to be carefully traded
off against user benefit, and that's what Jorge and team are
attempting to do.

We need to all be on board that we need to address this problem, and
if this proposal isn't quite the best way to do that, we should be
discussing how we can make it better, or how we can solve the same
problem in a different way. The status quo is not an option.

Re: Layer Construction for Off Main Thread

2013-10-31 Thread Jeff Gilbert
I have no idea about construction and resizing, but webgl's frame flinging (and 
by extension skia-gl's) should Just Work already.
WebGL content blithely calls SurfaceStream::SwapProducer, and somewhere in 
Layers/TextureClient/Host code there's a call to SurfaceStream::SwapConsumer.
The only thing WebGL needs moved between the client and host size of things is 
the SurfaceStream pointer.

I have (slightly optimistically) started writing a post-mortem of this
closure, analyzing what went wrong and why, and how we might avoid it
in the future:

  https://etherpad.mozilla.org/mEB0H50ZjX

It's only partially written, because I only have a partial
understanding.  In particular, the Mochi-2 failures and fixes are well
described, but the Mochi-bc failures and fixes are less so.

Andrew McCreight has already added some good details, and I ask
everyone else who has been involved with diagnosing and fixing this
situation to do likewise.

Thanks.

Re: Closure of trunk trees - owners for bugs needed

2013-10-31 Thread Nicholas Nethercote
Hi all,

The trees have reopened, based on the fact that the relevant tests are
passing again reliably.

That doesn't mean the work is over.  Remaining things I'm aware of:

- Finish fixing the devtools leaks:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=932880.  One patch has
landed, bgrinstead has another with r+ and has almost finished on try
and should land soon.

- Finish fixing the social API leaks:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=933551.  Should be done
by markh or mixedpuppy, AFAICT?

- Improve the shutdown leak detection situation:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=932898.  Tim Taubert is
working on this, has patches in progress.  It's possible that other
leaks might be uncovered by this change, which would block it landing.
 If that happens, and you know are involved with such uncovered leaks,
please fix them ASAP.  We don't want to backslide.

- Finish the post-mortem, in order to understand if we can do anything
else to avoid problems like these in the future:
https://etherpad.mozilla.org/mEB0H50ZjX.  Please contribute!

Also, I'm sure everyone has patches ready to land, but if we can be
gentle on the trees that will reduce the likelihood of re-closure.
Pace yourselves.  Thanks!

FWIW, I added the following TL;DR to the document, which reflects my
understanding of the situation.

Is there anything else we can do to prevent this from happening again?
