Looking at https://testgrid.k8s.io/sig-node-kubelet#kubelet-gce-e2e-arm64-ubuntu-serial I see the following in logs:

./ginkgo: 1: �ELF����: not found
./ginkgo: 1: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting ")")

I think this indicates that the wrong bittnes program is being attempted to execute on arm64 machine

[ike-ma]

This ELF not found error typically indicates we are running x86_64 binary on arm64 machine

Looking at the failure log: https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-jenkins/logs/ci-kubernetes-node-arm64-ubuntu-serial/1667168379250675712/artifacts/build-log.txt

The build is building for linux/amd64 instead linux/arm64

It seems this wasn't build in a dockerized environment: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/c840c947554e10e6b2918e731c86dbd0e541361a/test/e2e_node/builder/build.go#L52-L56

	if IsDockerizedBuild() {
		klog.Infof("Building dockerized k8s binaries targets %s for architecture %s", targets, GetTargetBuildArch())
		// Multi-architecture build is only supported in dockerized build
		cmd = exec.Command(filepath.Join(k8sRoot, "build/run.sh"), "make", fmt.Sprintf("WHAT=%s", targets), fmt.Sprintf("KUBE_BUILD_PLATFORMS=%s", GetTargetBuildArch()))
	}

[ike-ma]

Oh I see, in #29662, the - --use-dockerized-build=true - --target-build-arch=linux/arm64 are removed, since we are using kubetest2 to trigger the test now.

These flags are defined here: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/c840c947554e10e6b2918e731c86dbd0e541361a/test/e2e_node/builder/build.go#L32-L33

We should add support to kubetest2 for these two args so that it can pass the flags to run_remote.go, before any binaries are built.

If we move to test-arg, I think it will just pass to an already built ginkgo as ginkgo-flags

A working command (that will be generated by kubetest2) should look something like this

go run /usr/local/google/home/ikema/go-k8s-oss/src/k8s.io/kubernetes/test/e2e_node/runner/remote/run_remote.go \
  --cleanup -vmodule=*=4 --ssh-env=gce --results-dir=/tmp/e2e-node-results/ason --project=ikema-gke-dev-2 \
  --use-dockerized-build=true --target-build-arch=linux/arm64 \
   --zone=us-central1-a --ssh-user=ikema --ssh-key=/usr/local/google/home/ikema/.ssh/google_compute_engine \
   --ginkgo-flags='--nodes=1 --focus="\[Serial\]" --skip="\[Flaky\]|\[Slow\]|\[Benchmark\]|\[NodeSpecialFeature:.+\]|\[NodeSpecialFeature\]|\[NodeAlphaFeature:.+\]|\[NodeAlphaFeature\]|\[NodeFeature:Eviction\]|\[NodeFeature:NodeProblemDetector\]|\[NodeFeature:OOMScoreAdj\]|\[NodeFeature:DevicePluginProbe\]|\[NodeConformance\]" '  \
   --test-timeout=5h0m0s --image-config-file=/tmp/e2e-node-results/ason/image-config.yaml 

[ike-ma]

We have two options:

1. Rollback all kubetest2 related changes for now, I think add the extra_ref to the k8s.io/test-infra so that the image config file could be found from has already fixed issue in https://prow.k8s.io/view/gs/kubernetes-jenkins/logs/ci-kubernetes-node-arm64-ubuntu-serial/1664144092101087232

   • Pro: Quick to get the test run green (since we have previously tested with bootstrap way to running the test)
   • Con: We still need to migrate to kubetest2 at some point

2. Investigating and fix based on kubetest2 paradigm

   • Pro: This is the eventual state we want to be in
   • Con: Might take longer to turn test green (since we still need to trial and error a bit to figure out the kubetest2 wiring stuff)

Which option does folk prefer?

[SergeyKanzhelev]

@BenTheElder wdyt?

/sig testing

I'd prefer to go green faster so number 1.

[chendave]

@ike-ma @SergeyKanzhelev @BenTheElder

The fix is already up for review, just need someone to approve it.

here it is:
kubernetes-sigs/kubetest2#229
kubernetes/kubernetes#118567
#29727

[chendave]

Rollback all kubetest2 related changes for now

We have trouble to make the parameter --use-dockerized-build recognized by kubetest, this is why we move to the kubetest2 from the beginning,

#29617

Which option does folk prefer?

Let's go with the option2, eventually, we need the migration.

[chendave]

Just shout out in the slack, hope we can get the fix in ASAP. https://kubernetes.slack.com/archives/C09QZ4DQB/p1686368336431369

Have more work to do to make sure every e2e node testcases could pass on arm64, I will start to work on it from next month.

[pacoxu]

Good job! The test can run completely now.

For remaining dra-related failures, I am not sure if you want to open a new issue to track or use this one.

[chendave]

we can let this issue open to track all the fix and issue for the ci job, you can retitle this to something like "umbrella issue of arm ci for node e2e testing" if you feel okay.

[chendave]

btw, current testing skip several testcases, as discussed with @ike-ma , we will try to enable all of them eventually.

[chendave]

dra testcases fail on x86_64 as well, https://testgrid.k8s.io/sig-node-kubelet#kubelet-gce-e2e-swap-ubuntu-serial.

The DRA testcases depend on alpha features and a suitable container runtime. They should get skipped in "normal" E2E node testing jobs based on the tags in the test description. I am not up-to-date on the current usage of NodeFeature. See https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/tree/master/keps/sig-testing/3041-node-conformance-and-features for some background.

/cc @bart0sh

[bart0sh]

According to the Kubelet logs the DRA plugin couldn't even register. This is not related to the used container runtime.
However, even with fixed registration CRI-O or Containerd 1.7 should be used as a container runtime for Node DRA tests to succeed.

[pohly]

According to the Kubelet logs the DRA plugin couldn't even register.

Perhaps because the feature gate wasn't enabled?

[bart0sh]

Most probably. I doubt the failure is related to arm changes as I'm able to run all DRA tests on my M2 Mac(arm64) in a multipass(Qemu) instance.
