Official firefox-pgo thread

I can't build firefox-pgo-beta as well :-( (just tried new version now).
However my build fails with:

OBJDIR=/tmp/yaourt-tmp-rumil/aur-firefox-pgo-beta/firefox-pgo-beta/src/mozilla-1.9.1/ff-opt-obj python /tmp/yaourt-tmp-rumil/aur-firefox-pgo-beta/firefox-pgo-beta/src/mozilla-1.9.1/ff-opt-obj/_profile/pgo/profileserver.py

Which is a little different then others. I haven't seen this line in anyboy's else log:

firefox-bin: undefined symbol: __gcov_indirect_call_profiler

That makes me think that there is something wrong in my system? Googled for similar errors, but no results...

blasse · 2009-06-07 08:18:24

Nothing is wrong - this two errors are common for almost everybody on gcc4.4 and x86-64...
This one (gcov) is reported in bug i linked in first post, I'm also encountering it once a few tries.

Anyway, I'm only posting this next part to mention that I've noticed the benchmarks getting worse for every new version:
with firefox-pgo-beta 3.1b3 the SunSpider JavaScript Benchmark were: around 4200/4300/4400
then with 3.5b4 regular it was: 4600
now with 3.5b99 it's this:
Total: 4806.8ms +/- 1.6%
I've also seen the exact opposite of people's result when I saw an article on digg.com about firefox 3.5b4 and it's SunSpider JavaScript Benchmark where people had their benchmarks from 3.1b3 and 3.5b4 go in the other direction, as in from 4000 to 3000..... the article was about why firefox in wine is faster than Linux firefox and how version 3.5b4 should help make native Linux firefox benchmarks closer to the ones people get when using firefox in wine.

I have 3.5b4 pgo and 3.5rc1 normal build. And in on js tests 3.5rc1(b99) is faster. Pity i cannot pgoed it

btw. Opera 10b1 is faster than ff in all benchmarks. Maybe time to switch

It's great to hear that but some peapole can't switch becouse they use only Gtk apps and Opera use QT.
I wait to Opera in Gtk

blasse · 2009-06-07 10:13:53

I'm on gnome, mostly using gtk, but also with 2 or 3 qt apps It doesn't hurt

Meanwhile I'll try to get this FF working back

Hmm... I'm on i686 - forgot to mention that ;-)
I'm gonna' try LDFLAGS suggested in the bug report (sorry, I've missed that first time I wrote).

You can configure QT to use your GTK theme, and it's working perfectly. You just have to choose "GTK" in qtconfig

I created a profile, and then ran it with this shell script:

export NO_EM_RESTART=1
$OBJDIR/usr/bin/firefox -no-remote -profile $OBJDIR/home/seventy3/.mozilla/firefox/_profileprofile

Then I ran all of those dromaeo tests while running it as "-no-remote -profile". I haven't really seen any difference from before I did this.

I can never get used to Opera, and I've never tried it with the gtk themes..... as for my other browser I use the midori-git AUR package with webkit. The benchmarks are much better but it still seems slower when using it to browse.

I also get the TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL error when building with pgo in the
moz-central branch as well as the 191 branch if pgo is on. The firefox
profile-generation binary is segfaulting in __gcov_init -> strlen. I've tried
the profile-correction patch as well as disabling jemalloc pgo with no success.
I get this on both 4.3 and 4.4, i haven't tested <=4.2

From mozilla's bugzilla

darkraven · 2009-06-08 00:33:18

I built with flag '-ffast-math' and got acid3 score 0/100

Evanlec · 2009-06-08 04:09:24

firefox-pgo-beta 3.5b99 won't build PGO for me as well. (x86_64)

However a regular install produced better Javascript numbers (over 3.1b3) but seemed to break firebug

SunSpider with 3.6a1
RESULTS (means and 95% confidence intervals)
--------------------------------------------
Total: 2181.4ms +/- 1.0%

V8:
Score: 265

Funniest thing is that if I disable TraceMonkey through about:config and set javascript.options.jit.content and javascript.options.jit.chrome to False I get almost identical benchmark results....how is this possible???

Unfortunately I'm gonna have to go back to the slower 3.1b3 unless I can get firebug working (I can't do web development without it!)

*EDIT*

To get firebug working I needed to use --enable-jsd in mozconfig

I just tried to compile the latest version, it compiled fine but when I tried to run it:

[jordz@jordz-desktop Desktop]$ firefox 
/usr/lib/firefox-3.5b99/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 28582 Segmentation fault      "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

blasse · 2009-06-10 06:40:40

Yes, it's happens. I also got problem, that whole build is working mostly good, but ff doesn't start for profiling, because of segmentation fault or other errors. Ted Mielczarek posted in pgo bug report, that error 11 in python script is connected with firefox cannot be started from objdir... So maybe something's wrong with arch makepkg not with firefox code?

foolosophy · 2009-06-10 06:59:18

I get a weird error:

OBJDIR=/home/pablo/builds/firefox-pgo-beta/src/mozilla-1.9.1/ff-pgo /home/pablo/builds/firefox-pgo-beta/src/mozilla-1.9.1/profileserver.sh

"Permiso denegado" = "Access denied"

Check permissons on file, maybe I've messed something

Got this. With latest aur pkgbuild

/usr/lib/firefox-3.5b99/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 12118 Segmentation fault "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

blasse · 2009-06-10 09:31:58

The same as jordz before. I still haven't found workaround...
Latest firefox sucks a bit when it comes to pgo

bond · 2009-06-10 10:54:26

i too am getting the segmentation fault on the 3.5b99 build, x86_64

same error for building with pgo and without ...

I also can't build off the 1.9.1 mercurial tree anymore ... getting an error because my autoconf is greater than version 2.13

could it have anything to do with the launcher patch?

Try to disable patch. autoconf 2.13 is avaiable as autoconf-compat in aur. In my mozconfig there is (commented out) line, that makes mozilla use autoconf 2.13. Mercurial uses it since I remember

I've tried with different -j values but it doesn't seem to help.

I got it to build right but I get the segfault. I'll try without PGO.
