gh-151929: Get boot identifier and uptime in test.pythoninfo

[vstinner]

• Issue: "wasm32-wasi 3.x" buildbot times out on building Python #151929

[vstinner]

Example of GitHub Action CI jobs logging the 3 keys (boot_id, machine_id, uptime):

• Cross build Linux
• Ubuntu / build and test (ubuntu-24.04)
• Ubuntu (free-threading) / build and test (ubuntu-24.04)
• Ubuntu (bolt) / build and test (ubuntu-24.04)
• Ubuntu SSL tests (ubuntu-24.04, openssl, 1.1.1w)

linux.boot_id: 610c5eb4-5030-485f-97a2-521655e5d386
linux.machine_id: 63c22c3b453d4d0a8161add8f6d2695a
linux.uptime: 0:04:22

Android (x86_64) logs boot_id and uptime:

linux.boot_id: 267bf32c-0f17-4dc3-88b4-1f3bbc5e85c2
linux.uptime: 0:01:11

linux.machine_id can be used to check if two CI jobs are running on the same machine. Examples:

• machine_id 63c22c3b453d4d0a8161add8f6d2695a:

  • Ubuntu (free-threading) / build and test (ubuntu-24.04)
  • Ubuntu (bolt) / build and test (ubuntu-24.04)

• machine_id b9d4e40b90bc4dcb974f6d60e5fb946e

  • Ubuntu / build and test (ubuntu-24.04)
  • Ubuntu SSL tests (ubuntu-24.04, openssl, 3.4.6)
  • Ubuntu SSL tests (ubuntu-24.04, openssl, 4.0.1)

Oh, it got two network erros:

Draft code to get the uptime of a Linux container:

importtimeimportdatetimeimportosjiffies=os.sysconf("SC_CLK_TCK")
withopen("/proc/1/stat") asfp:
line=fp.readline()
line=line.rpartition(')')[-1]
parts=line.split()
start_time=int(parts[22-3])
seconds=start_time/jiffiesuptime=time.clock_gettime(time.CLOCK_BOOTTIME)
print(str(datetime.timedelta(seconds=uptime-seconds)))

[vstinner]

"Emscripten / build and test" logs only the machine_id:

linux.machine_id: 63c22c3b453d4d0a8161add8f6d2695a

Oh, I'm surprised FreeBSD logs the uptime and the machine_id!

linux.machine_id: c33d563f8c4c42f9b0bae5eab9c2cc5c
linux.uptime: 52 days, 7:09:54

It seems like the /etc/machine-id file is also used by FreeBSD. And FreeBSD implements time.CLOCK_BOOTTIME.
