When a dependency +changes, the individual compile and link commands from the previous build +are adapted with updated input digests and executed ahead of the actual +build, so that by the time recc runs the same commands, they hit the +action cache instead of being executed from scratch. + + +Overview +-------- + +A typical rebuild scenario: a developer modifies a leaf library. Every +downstream element needs rebuilding because its dependency changed. But +the downstream elements' own source code hasn't changed — only the +dependency artifacts are different. Speculative actions exploit this by: + +1. **Recording** subactions from the previous build (via recc through + the ``remote-apis-socket``) +2. **Generating** overlays that describe how each subaction's input files + relate to source elements and dependency artifacts +3. **Storing** the speculative actions on the artifact proto, keyed by + the element's weak cache key (stable across dependency version changes) +4. **Priming** the action cache on the next build by instantiating the + stored actions with current dependency digests and executing them + + +Subaction Recording +------------------- + +When an element builds with ``remote-apis-socket`` configured and +``CC: recc gcc`` as the compiler, each compiler invocation goes through +recc, which sends an ``Execute`` request to buildbox-casd's nested +server via the socket. buildbox-casd records each action digest as a +subaction. When the sandbox's ``StageTree`` session ends, the subaction +digests are returned in the ``StageTreeResponse`` and added to the +parent ``ActionResult.subactions`` field. + +BuildStream reads ``action_result.subactions`` after each sandbox +command execution (``SandboxREAPI._run()``) and accumulates them on +the sandbox object. After a successful build, ``Element._assemble()`` +transfers them to the element via ``_set_subaction_digests()``. + + +Overlay Generation +------------------ + +The ``SpeculativeActionsGenerator`` runs after the build queue. For each +element with subaction digests: + +1. Builds a **digest cache** mapping file content hashes to their origin: + + - **SOURCE** overlays: files from the element's own source tree + - **ARTIFACT** overlays: files from dependency artifacts + - SOURCE takes priority over ARTIFACT when the same digest appears + in both + +2. For each subaction, fetches the ``Action`` proto and traverses its + input tree to find all file digests. Each digest that matches the + cache produces an ``Overlay`` recording: + + - The overlay type (SOURCE or ARTIFACT) + - The source element name + - The file path within the source/artifact tree + - The target digest to replace + +3. Stores the ``SpeculativeActions`` proto on the artifact, which is + saved under both the strong and weak cache keys. + + +Weak Key Lookup +--------------- + +The weak cache key includes everything about the element itself (sources, +environment, build commands, sandbox config) but only dependency **names** +(not their cache keys). This means: + +- When a dependency is rebuilt with new content, the downstream element's + weak key remains **stable** +- The speculative actions stored under the weak key from the previous + build are still **reachable** +- When the element's own sources or configuration change, the weak key + changes, correctly **invalidating** stale speculative actions + + +Action Instantiation +-------------------- + +The ``SpeculativeActionInstantiator`` adapts stored actions for the +current dependency versions: + +1. Fetches the base action from CAS +2. Resolves each overlay: + + - **SOURCE** overlays: finds the current file digest in the element's + source tree by path + - **ARTIFACT** overlays: finds the current file digest in the + dependency's artifact tree by path + +3. Builds a digest replacement map (old hash → new digest) +4. Recursively traverses the action's input tree, replacing file digests +5. Stores the modified action in CAS +6. If no digests changed, returns the base action digest (already cached) + + +Pipeline Integration +-------------------- + +The scheduler queue order with speculative actions enabled:: + + Pull → Fetch → Priming → Build → Generation → Push + +**Pull Queue**: For elements not cached by strong key, also pulls the +weak key artifact proto from remotes. This is a lightweight pull — just +the metadata, not the full artifact files. The SA proto and base action +CAS objects are fetched on-demand by casd. + +**Priming Queue** (``SpeculativeCachePrimingQueue``): Runs before the +build queue. For each uncached element with stored SA: + +1. Pre-fetches base action protos (``FetchMissingBlobs``) and their + input trees (``FetchTree``) from CAS +2. Instantiates each action with current dependency digests +3. Submits ``Execute`` to buildbox-casd, which runs the action through + its local execution scheduler or forwards to remote execution +4. The resulting ``ActionResult`` is cached in the action cache + +**Build Queue**: Builds elements as usual. When recc runs a compile or +link command, it checks the action cache first. If priming succeeded, +the adapted action is already cached → **action cache hit**. + +**Generation Queue** (``SpeculativeActionGenerationQueue``): Runs after +the build queue. Generates overlays from newly recorded subactions and +stores them for future priming. + + +Scaling Considerations +---------------------- + +Priming blocks the build pipeline +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The priming queue runs before the build queue. Elements cannot start +building until they pass through priming. If priming takes longer than +the build itself (e.g., because Execute calls are slow), it adds latency. + +**Mitigation**: Make priming fire-and-forget — submit Execute without +waiting for completion. The build queue proceeds immediately. If the +Execute completes before recc needs the action, it's a cache hit. + +Execute calls are full builds +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Each adapted action runs a full build command (e.g., ``gcc -c``) through +buildbox-run. For N elements with M subactions each, that's N×M Execute +calls competing for CPU with the actual build queue. + +**Mitigation**: With remote execution, priming fans out across a cluster. +Locally, casd's ``--jobs`` flag limits concurrent executions. Prioritize +elements near the build frontier. + +FetchTree calls are sequential +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The pre-fetch phase does one ``FetchTree`` per base action. For an +element with many subactions, this is many sequential calls. + +**Mitigation**: Batch ``FetchTree`` calls or parallelize them. Could +also collect all directory digests and issue a single +``FetchMissingBlobs``. + +Race between priming and building +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The current design prevents races by running priming before building. +But this means priming adds to the critical path. A concurrent design +would allow priming and building to overlap, accepting that some priming +work may be redundant. + +CAS storage growth +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Every adapted action produces new directory trees in CAS. Most content +is shared (CAS deduplication), but root directories and Action protos +are unique per adaptation. CAS quota management handles eviction. + +Priming stale SA is wasteful +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +If an element's build commands changed, its SA may produce adapted +actions that don't match what recc computes. The weak key includes +build configuration, so this only happens when the element itself +changed — in which case the SA is correctly invalidated. + + +Future Optimizations +-------------------- + +1. **Fire-and-forget Execute**: Submit adapted actions without waiting. + The build queue proceeds immediately; cache hits happen opportunistically. + +2. **Concurrent priming**: Run priming in parallel with the build queue. + Elements enter both queues simultaneously. + +3. **Topological prioritization**: Prime elements in build order (leaves + first) to maximize the chance priming completes before building starts. + +4. **Selective priming**: Skip cheap actions (fast link steps), prioritize + expensive ones (long compilations). + +5. **Batch FetchTree**: Collect all input root digests and fetch in + parallel or in a single batch. diff --git a/doc/source/main_architecture.rst b/doc/source/main_architecture.rst index cff4d7428..143ddd38a 100644 --- a/doc/source/main_architecture.rst +++ b/doc/source/main_architecture.rst @@ -30,4 +30,5 @@ This section provides details on the overall BuildStream architecture. arch_caches arch_sandboxing arch_remote_execution + arch_speculative_actions diff --git a/src/buildstream/_artifactcache.py b/src/buildstream/_artifactcache.py index 40b390aa2..b5c0bb20d 100644 --- a/src/buildstream/_artifactcache.py +++ b/src/buildstream/_artifactcache.py @@ -456,6 +456,69 @@ class ArtifactCache(AssetCache): return True + # pull_artifact_proto(): + # + # Pull only the artifact proto (metadata) for an element by key. + # + # This is a lightweight pull that fetches just the artifact proto + # from the remote, without fetching files, buildtrees, or other + # large blobs.
