As a first step to switching wholesale to win64 machines for our builds, we can switch just our PGO and nightly builds over to win64 machines.

If 'pgo_slaves' is found in the platform config it will be used instead of 'slaves' for pgo builds.

Comment on attachment 622267 [details] [diff] [review] Set up build-system to do win32 pgo builds on win64 slaves Review of attachment 622267 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Go for it!

Turns out that the old patch didn't work because we need to run with the win64 environment. I've switched from 'pgo_slaves' to 'pgo_platform' instead so that generateBranchObjects can grab the appropriate environment. The only problem with this now is that the win32 PGO builds will have MOZ_SYMBOLS_EXTRA_BUILDID=win64-${branch}

we also need MOZ_TOOLS and PATH adjusted to find /c/Tools/sdks/v7.0/bin

A change from this bug landed on the default branches of either buildbot-configs or buildbotcustom. Such change has been merged as of ~8:30 AM PDT into the production branches and the buildbot masters have been reconfigured. This if FYI and a note has been added to the maintenance page: https://wiki.mozilla.org/ReleaseEngineering:Maintenance#Reconfigs_.2F_Deployments

I finally have some QA results, sorry for the delay. Overall the builds are fine. We did run into a couple of issues which seem to be unique to this build when compared to the May 4th Nightly. TAB key not working ------------------- STR: 1. Open Firefox. 2. Press the Tab key to navigate through the opened website. EXPECTED: When the Tab key is pressed, the focus moves to the next element on the web page. RESULTS: Nothing happens when the Tab key is pressed. Flash not working after re-enable --------------------------------- STR: 1. Launch Firefox. Make sure the Flash Player plugin is installed. 2. Open the Addons Manager and Disable the Flash Player plugin. 3. Enable the Flash Player plugin. 4. Open a web page using Flash (http://www.youtube.com , http://www.addictinggames.com/ etc). EXPECTED: The Flash content is rendered without any issues. RESULTS: The Flash content is not rendered at all. Shockwave plug-in crash on miniclip.com --------------------------------------- STR: 1. Launch Firefox. Make sure the Shockwave Flash plugin is installed. 2. Open a web page using Shockwave Flash (http://www.miniclip.com/games/white-water-rafting/ro/ etc). EXPECTED: The Shockwave Flash content is rendered without any issues. RESULTS: When opening http://www.miniclip.com/games/white-water-rafting/ro/, a dialog that asks the user whether he wants to run a .exe is opened. If the user clicks "Cancel", Shockwave and the browser work fine. If the user clicks "Run", the browser hangs for about 10 seconds, after which the plugin crashes and the browser starts working fine. Clicking link from external application displays profile manager ---------------------------------------------------------------- STR: 1. Launch Firefox. 2. Set Firefox your system's default browser. 3. Open another application that contains a hyperlink (e.g. an email opened in an email client, a document opened in a text editor etc). 4. Click the hyperlink. EXPECTED: The link is opened in the win32-on-win64 Firefox, in a new tab. RESULTS: When clicking on a hyperlink from another app (e.g. Thunderbird), the Profile Manager is opened although the win32-on-win64 try build is already opened. The user is only allowed to select a different profile and another Firefox is opened (Beta).

Thanks Anthony. Does this build also exhibit these problems? http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/tinderbox-builds/build-system-win32/1337025672/firefox-15.0a1.en-US.win32.zip

https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/a0cca6997af4 Not sure whether this can be closed yet, so leaving open for now. For future patches, you can put [leave open] in the whiteboard to ensure the bug doesn't get closed as part of the merge.

turn on pgo builds on win64 wherever we have pgo_strategy set to something. this is for m-c, fx-team, ionmonkey and services-central at the moment.

Comment on attachment 624363 [details] [diff] [review] enable win64 32-bit pgo builds on m-c, fx-team, ionmonkey and services-central ionmonkey isn't actually affected here, it's mozilla-inbound.
