There are multiple use cases where we'd like to alias refs.
First, having a "stable" alias which gets swapped across major
versions: https://pagure.io/atomic-wg/issue/228
Another case is when a ref is obsoleted;
<https://pagure.io/atomic-wg/issue/303>
This second one could be done with endoflife rebase, but I think
this case is better on the server side, as we might later change
our minds and do actual releases there.
I initially just added some test cases for symlinks in the `refs/heads` dir to
ensure this actually works (and it did), but I think it's worth having APIs.

this version should be better)
Using `${sysroot}` to mean the physical storage root: We don't want to write to
`${sysroot}/etc/ostree/remotes.d`, since nothing will read it, and really
`${sysroot}` should just have `/ostree` (ideally). Today the Anaconda rpmostree
code ends up writing there. Fix this by adding a notion of "physical" sysroot.
We determine whether the path is physical by checking for `/sysroot`, which
exists in deployment roots (and there shouldn't be a `${sysroot}/sysroot`).
In order to unit test this, I added a `--sysroot` argument to `remote add`.
However, doing this better would require reworking the command line parsing for
the `remote` argument to support specifying `--repo` or `--sysroot`, and I
didn't quite want to do that yet in this patch.
This second iteration of this patch fixes the bug we hit the first time;
embarassingly enough I broke `ostree remote list` finding system remotes.
The fix is to have `ostree_repo_open()` figure out whether it's the same
as `/ostree/repo` for now.
Down the line...we might consider having the `ostree remote` command line itself
instatiate an `OstreeSysroot` by default, but this maximizes compatibility; we
just have to pay a small cost that `ostree` usage outside of that case like
`ostree static-delta` in a releng Jenkins job or whatever will do this `stat()`
too.

There's lots of mechanically replacing `OtTmpFile` with `GLnxTmpfile`;
the biggest changes are in the commit path. Symlink commits are now
very clearly separated from regular files. Symlinks are `OtCleanupUnlinkat`,
and regular files are `GLnxTmpfile`.
The commit codepath separates those as `_ostree_repo_commit_path_final()` and
`_ostree_repo_commit_tmpf_final()`. A nice aspect of all of this is that they
both *consume* the temporary on success. This avoids an extra spurious
`unlink()` call.
One of the biggest bits of code motion is in `commit_loose_regfile_object()`,
which no longer needs to care about symlinks. For the most parth though it's
just removing conditionals.

This is followon work from previous cleanups. Basically
`stat_bare_content_object()` was the `fstatat()` logic
and `ostree_repo_read_bare_fd()` was the `openat()` implementation;
they duplicated some bits to find the object in staging, recurse
into parent etc.
Further, I wanted an internal-only version of this API which didn't allocate
`GFileInfo`/`GInputStream` but used a plain `fd` and `struct stat` to avoid
mallocs.
The end version here I think looks a lot nicer, since we deduplicate the various
`open()` calls in the different cases for example.

Before this, if one had repos of matching mode but different owners,
which could happen if one e.g. makes a `bare` non-root repo in
`/ostree/deploy/$stateroot/var/tmp`, every time we tried to call `linkat()`
we'd get `EPERM` and fall back to a copy.
Fix this by saving the repo owner uid, and avoid trying to call `linkat()` if we
know it's going to fail. Of course most commonly in this scenario we'll
immediately fail trying to `chown` the files to `0`, but this is prep for a
future patch to improve `bare-user` → `bare-user-only` imports where we'll be a

I was reading a strace the other day and noticed we were loading the same
`.dirmeta` object many times. Unlike the other object types, `.dirmeta` objects
don't accumulate much over time; there are only so many directory metadata types.
(Without SELinux involved it'd probably be 5-6 I'd guess offhand).
For `fedora-atomic/25/x86_64/docker-host` there are currently 34 `.dirmeta` in
the tree.
But how many times during a checkout did we load those 34 dirmeta objects?
With a quick strace:
```
$ strace -s 2048 -f -o strace.log ostree --repo=repo-build checkout -U fedora-atomic/25/x86_64/docker-host host-test-checkout
$ grep dirmeta strace.log | wc -l
7165
```
After, as you'd expect, we just loaded `34` from disk. We do
6 system calls (`openat+fstat+fstat+read+read+close`) per dirmeta,
so we dropped a total of 42780 system calls - which is about 20% of the total
system calls made.
`perf record` tells me that we're spending ~40 of our time in the kernel during
a checkout, so reducing syscall traffic helps. Though most of that appears to be
in the VFS and XFS layers for `linkat` (which isn't surprising).
So how much did perf improve? Well, on my workstation, I get a lot of
fluctuation in timing, sometimes by 30%, so this was well within the noise. But
it's well worth speeding up checkout, and I think this optimization will shine
more as we improve performance elsewhere.

There are a lot of things suboptimal about this approach, but
on the other hand we need to get our CI back up and running.
The basic approach is to - in the test suite, detect if we're on overlayfs. If
so, set a flag in the repo, which gets picked up by a few strategic places in
the core to turn on "ignore xattrs".
I also had to add a variant of this for the sysroot work.
The core problem here is while overlayfs will let us read and
see the SELinux labels, it won't let us write them.
Down the line, we should improve this so that we can selectively ignore e.g.
`security.*` attributes but not `user.*` say.

The gzip default is 6. When I was writing this code, I chose 9 under
the assumption that for long-term archival, the extra compression was
worth it.
Turns out level 9 is really, really not worth it. Here's run at level 9
compressing the current Fedora Atomic Host into archive:
```
ostree --repo=repo pull-local repo-build fedora-atomic/25/x86_64/docker-host
real 2m38.115s
user 2m31.210s
sys 0m3.114s
617M repo
```
And here's the new default level of 6:
```
ostree --repo=repo pull-local repo-build fedora-atomic/25/x86_64/docker-host
real 0m53.712s
user 0m43.727s
sys 0m3.601s
619M repo
619M total
```
As you can see, we run almost *three times* faster, and we take up *less
than one percent* more space.
Conclusion: Using level 9 is dumb. And here's a run at compression level 1:
```
ostree --repo=repo pull-local repo-build fedora-atomic/25/x86_64/docker-host
real 0m24.073s
user 0m17.574s
sys 0m2.636s
643M repo
643M total
```
I would argue actually many people would prefer even this for "devel" repos.
For production repos, you want static deltas anyways. (However, perhaps
we should support a model where generating a delta involves re-compressing
fallback objects with a bit stronger compression level).
Anyways, let's make everyone's life better and switch the default to 6.

Quoting Dan Nicholson in
<https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/pull/330#issuecomment-245499099>
mtime of 0 has been the semantics of ostree deployments from basically
the beginning of the project. We (and others, see
flatpak/flatpak@b5204c9) rely on that fact when generating trees.
In particular, this affects caches that use the mtime of the
associated file or directory to determine if the cache is valid. By
arbitrarily changing the mtime of the files to something else, all
the caches we setup in the build are now invalidated. Preseeding
caches is really important to the user experience as it avoids
having the user wait while they're regenerated on first run.
Now, we could change our build infrastructure to preset all the
mtimes to 1 to match this change, but what does that do for our
existing users who are on an ostree that deploys with mtimes of 0?
We could just revert this change at Endless (and the associated one
in Flatpak), and that would be fine for our users. However, if we
point non-Endless users to our apps, they'll have the great
experience of waiting 10 seconds the first time they launch it while
the fontconfig cache is rebuilt unnecessarily.

When reworking the ostree core [to use O_TMPFILE](https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/pull/369),
I hit an issue in the way the untrusted delta codepath ends up trying
to re-open the file to checksum it. That's not possible with
`O_TMPFILE` since the fd (which we opened `O_WRONLY`) is the only
accessible reference to the content.
Fix this by changing the delta processing code to update a checksum as
we're doing writes, which is also faster, and ends up simplifying the
code as well.
What would be an even larger simplification here is if we e.g. used a
separate thread calling `write_object()` or something like that; the
main issue I see there is somehow bridging the fact that function
wants a `GInputStream*` but the delta code is generating stream of
writes.

I'd like to incrementally convert all of `ostree-repo*.c` to
fd-relative usage, so that we can sanely introduce
`ostree_repo_new_at()` which doesn't involve GFile.
This one is medium risk, but passes the test suite.
A fast way to generate new OSTree content using an existing
tree is to checkout (as hard links), add/replace files, then
call `ostree_repo_scan_hardlinks()`, then commit.
But `ostree_repo_scan_hardlinks()` scans the entire repo, which
can be slow if you have a lot of content.
All we really need is a mapping of (device,inode) -> checksum
just for the objects we checked out, then use that mapping
for commits.
This patch adds API so that callers can create a mapping via
`ostree_repo_devino_cache_new()`, then pass it to
`ostree_repo_checkout_tree_at()` which will populate it, and then
`ostree_repo_write_directory_to_mtree()` can consume it.
I plan to use this in rpm-ostree for package layering work.
Notes:
- The old `ostree_repo_scan_hardlinks()` API still works.
- I tweaked the cache to be a set with the checksum colocated with
the key, to avoid a separate malloc block per entry.

Concurrent pulls break since we're sharing the staging directory for
all transactions in the repo. This makes us use a per-transaction directory.
However, in order for resumes to work we first look for existing

we can't find any staging directory or they are all already locked,
then we create a new one.

This creates a subdirectory of the tmp dir with a selected prefix,
and takes a lockfile to ensure that nobody else is using the same directory.
However, if a directory with the same prefix already exists and is
not locked that is used instead.

Similar to c2b01ad. For some reason I was thinking the commit data
still needed to be written to disk prior to verifying, but it's just
another artifact of spawning gpgv2 (predates using GPGME).
Makes for a nice cleanup in fetch_metadata_to_verify_delta_superblock()
as well.
I was hitting a bug in libguestfs/guestmount/FUSE where it blew up
with EINVAL on directories containing lots of files (more than
32000?). We really want to use prefixed subdirs just like the real
objects/ directory does.
This allows us to share more code between the paths, is more
efficient, etc.
This follows up from the previous commit; now that pull knows how to
do the efficient link() or copy for local files, we can just have
pull-local call into ostree_repo_pull().
As part of this:
- pull() can also accept a file:/// URI instead
of a remote name (since pull local supports anonymous pulls)
- pull() knows an "override-remote-name" option, since pull-local
supported writing a ref out even if there wasn't a remote with
that name
When doing a pull --mirror from an archive-z2 repository into another
archive-z2 repository, currently we gunzip/checksum/gzip each content
object. The re-gzip process in particular is fairly expensive.
This does assume that the upstream content is trusted and correct.
It'd be nice in the future to do at least a CRC check, if not the full
checksum. (Could we append CRC data to the end of filez objects?)
We could also choose to only do this optimization if fetching over
TLS.

after : 1626 metadata, 20320 content objects fetched; 299634 KiB transferred in 11 seconds
For future delta work where we do more interesting things than just
"tar of new objects", this lays the groundwork for doing streaming
writes into content objects.
It's also more efficient, as we avoid many intermediate allocations
and virtual calls. Just a single `g_output_stream_write_all` for the
splice case.

We could just make everything relative to this, but the objects/ and

ostree_repo_pull_with_options() needs this, and I'd rather keep the
OstreeRemote struct definition tucked away in ostree-repo.c with its

OstreeRemote is a reference-counted struct that encompasses data about a
remote, whether read from a configuration file or created explicitly via
ostree_repo_remote_add().
OstreeRemotes are held in an internal table indexed by remote name.

per-repository:
1) We didn't actually respect that operation when doing
CHECKOUT_MODE_USER on archive-z2 repositories
2) It'd be better to automatically detect we can't write to the
repo and disable the uncompressed cache then.
Changes the pull API to allow pulling only a single directory instead
of the whole deployment. This option is utilized by the check-diff
option in rpm-ostree.
Add a new state directory to hold <checksum>.commitpartial files, so
we know that we've only downloaded partial state.
The current "transaction" symlink was introduced to fix issues with
interrupted pulls; normally we assume that if we have a metadata
object, we also have all objects to which it refers.
There used to be a "summary" which had all the available refs, but I
deleted it because it wasn't really used, and was still racy despite
the transaction bits.
We still want the pull process to use the transaction link, so don't
delete the APIs, just relax the restriction on object writing, and
introduce a new ostree_repo_set_ref_immediate().
This has a very basic level of functionality (deltas can be generated,
and applied offline). There is only some stubbed out pull code to
fetch them via HTTP.
But, better to commit this now and improve it from a known starting
point, rather than have it languish in a branch.
This will be used by guestmount - it's WAY faster. We only take disks
as a unit, so it's safe. If the process fails halfway through, we
just start over from scratch the next time anyways.
Add a --generate-sizes option to commit to add size information to the
commit metadata. This will be used by higher level code which wants
to determine the total size necessary for downloading.
We want an OstreeRepoFile to be the way to reference a "filesystem
tree" that's stored in the repo, which is a combination of a DIR_TREE
and a DIR_META. The idea is that once you write an mtree to the repo
using ostree_repo_write_mtree, it becomes serialized and you get an
OstreeRepoFile in return.
Change any APIs that care about DIR_TREE / DIR_META checksums to care
about OstreeRepoFiles instead, which right now is mostly is
ostree_repo_write_commit.

We want an OstreeRepoFile to be the way to represent a filesystem tree
inside an ostree repository. In order to do this, we need to drop the
commit from an OstreeRepoFile, and make that go to callers.
Switch all current users of ostree_repo_file_new_root to
ostree_repo_read_commit, and make the actual constructor private.

Previously I thought we'd have to ditch the current commit
format to avoid a{sv} due to
See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=673012
But I realized that we don't really have to care about
unpacking/repacking commit objects, so let's just re-expose the
existing metadata a{sv} in commits in the API.
Also, add support for "detached" metadata that can be updated at any
time post-commit. This is specifically designed for GPG signatures.

This is a relic from long ago when we were trying to stage objects
before finally committing them all in one go in the pull code.
We're no longer doing that, so stop trying to make the directory.
This also fixes trying to use ostree as non-root to read the
root-owned repo, since we'd fail to create the pending dir.
Clean up how we deal with the uncompressed object cache; we now use
openat()/linkat() and such just like we do for the main objects/.
Use linkat() between the objects and the destination, if possible.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707733
Add new internal API to both fstatat() and write a pathname for the
given object. Use it in commit, and also wrapped in the old
GFile-based API.
This is more efficient.
Rather than having separate write_ref calls, make clients start a
transaction, add some refs, and then commit it. While this doesn't
make it 100% atomic, it makes it easier for us to use an atomic
model, and it means we don't do as much I/O updating the summary
file and such.
