Running `ostree commit --tree=ref=a --tree=dir=b` involves reading the
whole of a into an `OstreeMutableTree` before composing `b` on top. This
is inefficient if a is a complete rootfs and b is just touching one file.
We process O(size of a + size of b) directories rather than
O(number of touched dirs).
This commit makes `ostree commit` more efficient at composing multiple
directories together. With `ostree_mutable_tree_fill_empty_from_dirtree`
we create a lazy `OstreeMutableTree` which only reads the underlying
information from disk when needed. We don't need to read all the
subdirectories just to get the checksum of a tree already checked into the
repo.
This provides great speedups when composing a rootfs out of multiple other
rootfs as we do in our build system. We compose multiple containers
together with:
ostree commit --tree=ref=base-rootfs --tree=ref=container1 --tree=ref=container2
and it is much faster now.
As a test I ran
time ostree --repo=... commit --orphan --tree=ref=big-rootfs --tree=dir=modified_etc
Where modified_etc contained a modified sudoers file under /etc. I used
`strace` to count syscalls and I seperatly took timing measurements. To
test with a cold cache I ran
sync && echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
Results:
| | Before | After |
| -------------------- | ------ | ----- |
| Time (cold cache) | 8.1s | 0.12s |
| Time (warm cache) | 3.7s | 0.08s |
| `openat` calls | 53589 | 246 |
| `fgetxattr` calls | 78916 | 0 |
I'm not sure if this will have some negative interaction with the
`_ostree_repo_commit_modifier_apply` which is short-circuited here. I
think it was disabled for `--tree=ref=` anyway, but I'm not certain. All
the tests pass anyway.
I originally implemented this in terms of the `OstreeRepoFile` APIs, but
it was *way* less efficient, opening and reading many files unnecessarily.

Currently the API that allows P2P operations (e.g. pulling an ostree ref
from a LAN or USB source) is hidden behind the configure flag
--enable-experimental-api. This commit makes the API public and makes
that flag essentially a no-op (leaving it in place in case we want to
use it again in the future). The P2P API has been tested over the last
several months and proven to work.
This means that since we're no longer using the "experimental" feature
flag, P2P builds of Flatpak will fail when using versions of OSTree from
this commit onwards, until Flatpak is patched in the near future. If you
want to build Flatpak < 0.11.8 with P2P enabled and link against OSTree
2018.6, you'll have to patch Flatpak. However, since Flatpak won't yet
have a hard dependency on OSTree 2018.6, it needs a new way to determine
if the P2P API in OSTree is available, so this commit adds a "p2p"
feature flag. This way the feature set is more semantically correct than
if we had continued to use the "experimental" feature flag.
In addition to making the P2P API public, this commit makes the P2P unit
tests run by default, removes the f27-experimental CI instance that's no
longer needed, changes a few man pages to reflect the changes, and
updates the bash completion script to accept the new commands and
options.

The initial motivation for this is that the "staging" code currently
didn't rewrite the deployment refs, meaning that the staged commit
could be pruned.
Hence first, this new API ensures that deployments also
hold a strong ref to their commit, without relying on the magical
"deployment refs" that we inject. That has always been a weird
artifact of the strict layering separation between OstreeSysroot
and OstreeRepo.
I also plan to change rpm-ostree to start using this API to
hold references to base layers for client-side layering; it also
today generates various refs.
That said, if we still want to support multiple processes
writing to a single repo (as happens on EndlessOS today) we
still need to write refs; perhaps later we could add a concept
of "generators" or something that create refs based on whatever
logic?
Another minor thing this fixes is that we had a printf inside
the library; this propagates the pruned data to the higher level
which can log however it likes.

This is a version of ostree_repo_traverse_commit_union that also
remembers where the objects came from, by recording the parent
relationships in a hashtable. This can be used to later find which
commits each object was from, which we want to use in fsck.

Add API to write a deployment state to `/run/ostree/staged-deployment`,
along with a systemd service which runs at shutdown time.
This is a big change to the ostree model for hosts,
but it closes a longstanding set of bugs; many, many people have
hit the "losing changes in /etc" problem. It also avoids
the other problem of racing with programs that modify `/etc`
such as LVM backups:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1365297
We need this in particular to go to a full-on model for
automatically updated host systems where (like a dual-partition model)
everything is fully prepared and the reboot can be taken
asynchronously.

A quick turnaround to include one PR: https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/pull/1508
"switchroot: Ensure /run/ostree-booted is created even without initramfs"
This fixes ostree when booting without an initramfs. Thanks to @akiernan for the
bug report and helping review the fix! I'm working on enhancing
the test suite, which will help in adding some coverage here.
Also for this release I'm going to avoid adding a "stub" symbol section
to the `-released.sym` file; I don't believe it's necessary.

Example user story: Jane rebases her OS to a new major version N, and wants to
keep around N-1 even after a few upgrades for a while so she can easily roll
back. I plan to add `rpm-ostree rebase --pin` to opt-in to this for example.
Builds on the new `libostree-transient` group to store pinning state there.
Closes: https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/issues/1460Closes: #1464
Approved by: jlebon
The `origin/unlocked` and `origin/override-commit` keys are examples of state
that's really transient; we don't want to maintain them across upgrades. Right
now there are bits for this in both `ostree admin upgrade` as well as in
rpm-ostree.
This new API will slightly clean up both cases, but it's really prep for adding
a concept of deployment "pinning" that will live in the new
`libostree-transient` group.
Closes: #1464

There are a few cases for knowing whether a commit has identical
content to another commit. Some people want to do a "promotion workflow",
where the content of a commit on a tesitng branch is then "promoted"
to a production branch with `ostree commit --tree=ref`.
Another use case I just hit in rpm-ostree deals with
[jigdo](https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/issues/1081) where we're
importing RPMs on both the client and server, and will be using the
content checksum, since the client/server cases inject different metadata
into the commit object.

For the [rpm-ostree jigdo ♲📦](https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/issues/1081) work.
We're basically doing "pull" via a non-libostree mechanism, and this
should be fully supported. As I mentioned earlier we should try to
have `ostree-repo-pull.c` only use public APIs; this gets us closer
to that.
Closes: #1376

A while ago I did `truncate -s 0 /path/to/repo/00/123.commit`, and expected a
checksum error, but I actually got a validation error due to us loading the
commit into a variant and trying to parse out the parent checksum, etc.
I first started by changing the `load_and_fsck_one_object()` function to
checksum before loading, but the problem is that we do a traverse of all objects
first. Fixing this is going to require an `OSTREE_REPO_COMMIT_TRAVER_FLAG_FSCK`
or something.
In the meantime at least though, let's add a public API to fsck a single object
which *does* checksum cleanly before parsing the object, and change the `fsck`
command to use it.
We then change the fsck binary to do this while iterating over the refs
and finding the commit object. This way we'll at least get a checksum
first for commit objects, even if not dirtree/dirmeta.

I was trying to use this with pygobject for an OCI+ostree project, and pygobject
rejected simply assigning to the field (understandably, since it can't bind the
lifetime together).
Add a wrapper function, which is still unsafe, but hides that unsafety
where most people shouldn't find it. And if they do...well, sorry,
Rust wasn't invented when ostree was started.

This essentially completes our fd-relative conversion.
While here, I cleaned up the semantics of `ostree_repo_create()` and
`ostree_repo_create_at()` to be more atomic - basically various scripts were

Add a new error domain for GPG signing/verification errors, and use it
throughout libostree for describing verification errors. This replaces
various uses of G_IO_ERROR_FAILED, and one instance of
G_IO_ERROR_NOT_FOUND (for which some code in ot-builtin-show.c had to be
changed to ensure it was still handled correctly).
The use of a separate error domain allows failures in GPG operations to
be handled separately from network failures (where the summary file
could not be found to be downloaded, for example) or timeouts.

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.

So far a lot of submitted PR have added symbols into the first
section. Split the file into `-released` and `-devel` to make
this more obvious.
To further enforce things, we hardcode a checksum of the `-released`
file in `test-symbols.sh`. Only release commits should update that
checksum.
Did you notice I like checksums?
