Description

We should get talos running on linux64-qr so that we have some idea of the performance characteristics.

Let's see how this fares: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=67c4a81db248b813e40a491693fad9ce75cf221b

That used a bad m-c cset as a base, let's try again: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=9983e36f054faee66a219021954fe40beb64c34c

So that triggered the relevant taskcluster tasks, but they failed with exceptions. Looking at an example failed task [1] we can see that the reason for the failure is "malformed-payload", which presumably is because of the payload containing "buildername": "Ubuntu HW 12.04 x64 try qr talos chromez-e10s" (the "qr" in the buildername is not supported). :dustin said we'll probably need to add builders to buildbot with this name (and the other talos names) that set the env var MOZ_WEBRENDER=1 when running.

Latest attempt is at https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=338800c8c412b2f06119ed19dd7619a7ce769622. Since the patches from 1383712 are in production this /should/ work but I'm still getting the malformed-payload error.

https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=2b1bd17d58789984d61d6206804cdea3dd16c98c is better, with a missing piece provided by kmoir.

This time with webrender actually being enabled at runtime: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=5ead161cf5549d9ca2ea5084cf4a9175c30c4099

That's looking good (surprisingly so). However perfherder is lumping the results in with the other linux64 results which is probably not the best.
