CI job for OpenSSL 3.0

[danbev]

I would like to request a CI job to be created for dynamically linking to OpenSSL 3.0, similar to what is done today for OpenSSL 1.1.1

OpenSSL 3.0 has not been released yet but there are alpha releases and it would be great if we could have a CI job for this that is run on each PR to be able to detect breaking crypto changes early.

I'm not sure if this information is useful but I'm adding it just in case. The following are the configure/build commands that I've been using to build OpenSSL 3.x and Node.js:

$ ./config -Werror --strict-warnings --debug --prefix=/path/openssl_build_master linux-x86_64
$ make -j8 install_sw

$ ./configure --shared-openssl --shared-openssl-libpath=/path/openssl_build_master/lib --shared-openssl-includes=/path/openssl_build_master/include --shared-openssl-libname=crypto,ssl
$ make -j8 test

Does it pass the test suite already? Introducing a partially broken job would be pretty annoying.

[danbev]

@rvagg It passed when nodejs/node#37669 was landed. I'll update and run though the tests locally today and double check that this is still true.

[rvagg]

And would this only be for >=16.x? (i.e. master now and forward, but no earlier).

[danbev]

nodejs/node#37860 has been merged so there should not be any test failure specifically related to OpenSSL 3.0.
There is a flaky test which I've seen quite frequently when linking with OpenSSL 3.0 though be it also happens when statically linking with OpenSSL 1.1.1. We might be able to mark it as flaky if it becomes an issue.

And yes please, this would only be for >=16. Thanks!

Opened a PR for Dockerfile and VersionSelectorScript changes: #2601
Actually changing the job has run into a snag being tracked in #2602.

I managed to get an editable copy of node-test-commit-linux-containered (#2602 (comment)) and was able to test the changes from #2601.

• First test build failed for a real test issue:
  https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-commit-linux-containered-richard/3/nodes=ubuntu1804_sharedlibs_openssl300_x64/
• Passes with test: fix test-tls-no-sslv3 for OpenSSL 3 node#38027:
  https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-commit-linux-containered-richard/4/nodes=ubuntu1804_sharedlibs_openssl300_x64/

I'll work on updating node-test-commit-linux-containered based on the copied job. We'll need to land nodejs/node#38027 to get a clean test run before we enable testing against OpenSSL 3.

[richardlau]

I've edited node-test-commit-linux-containered to add the logic for build/testing against the OpenSSL 3 in the sharedlibs container, but have not yet added the ubuntu1804_sharedlibs_openssl300_x64 label to the job nodes as otherwise the job would start failing until nodejs/node#38027 is merged.

@richardlau Thanks for doing this!
