Convenience feature to avoid having to pass --repo options repeatedly.
Before falling back to the default system repository path, check for a
repository path defined by the OSTREE_REPO environment variable.
We already set all file mtimes to 0 so that they are constant
over all checkouts, and can be made constant with a known value from
the system where the ostree was created.
However, this was not happening for directories. Zero their mtimes too.
This is important for shipping a fontconfig cache in the ostree;
the fontconfig cache files embed a directory mtime.
The previous diff algorithm was file tree based, and only looked
at modified files that lived at the same path.
However, components like the Linux kernel have versioned
subdirectories, e.g. /usr/lib/modules/$kver/.../ext4.ko. We want to
be able to detect these "modified renames" so that we can compute
diffs (rollsum, bsdiff).
This does an rsync-style prepared delta basically. On my test data,
it shaves ~6MB of uncompressed data. Not a huge amount, but I expect
this to be more useful for things like binaries which embed data, etc.
There's still some silliness here, but there is now only one opcode
open-splice-and-close, that writes a single chunk from the payload.
This is really all we need for metadata, and small content objects are
also fine with this.
We get some deduplication between content objects by creating a
dictionary for (uid,gid,mode) tuples and xattrs.
This still keeps the operation/payload code in, so we could do
rollsums in a future update easily.
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.
gnome-continuous uses the ostree_repo_scan_hardlinks() mode to
avoid re-checksumming everything. However, when I ported the commit
code to use openat() and friends, this optimization was lost.
Re add it. The difference is about 15s versus 5 minutes.
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
It's always been suboptimal to have both pull and pull-local; as we go
beyond the raw object data into things like deltas and summary files,
the logic to perform e.g. mirroring should only be in one place.
This will be used by Pulp's OSTree content plugin at least to perform
promotions.
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.
before: 1626 metadata, 20320 content objects fetched; 299634 KiB transferred in 62 seconds
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
tmp/ are accessed very often, so I think it's worth holding individual
fds.
This fd can cover everything else: refs, deltas, etc.
prepare-root works with the mount that has been set up at /sysroot.
It creates a bind-mount within /sysroot (the deployment) and then moves
that mount to /sysroot.
Now we have 2 mounts both at /sysroot, and once we do switch_root, we will
never be able to unmount both of them. I'm not sure if this is ultimately
a kernel bug, but either way, ostree could do a bit more tidying up
after itself.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.file-systems/92411
Easy way to reproduce:
1. Boot with rd.break param
2. At initramfs shell, run: ostree-prepare-root /sysroot
3. Observe two /sysroot mounts in /proc/mounts
Fix this by setting up the mounts at /sysroot.tmp, and unmounting the
original /sysroot before our new mount is MS_MOVEd on top of it.
Do not write directly to objects/ but maintain pulled files under tmp/
with a "tmpobject-$CHECKSUM.$OBJTYPE" name until they are syncfs'ed to
disk.
Move them under objects/ at ostree_repo_commit_transaction cleanup
time.

subscription-manager has a daemon that runs in a confined domain,
and it doesn't have permission to write usr_t, which is the default
label of /ostree/deploy/$osname/deploy.
A better long term fix is probably to move the origin file into the
deployment root as /etc/ostree/origin.conf or so.
In the meantime, let's ensure the .origin files are labeled as
configuration.
If an object already existed and we somehow tried to pull it, the
caller would still expect a returned checksum.
This appears to happen with static deltas for some reason; we might be
including duplicate metadata objects. Regardless, this is a bug that
should be fixed.
We have a chain of checksums from the root up until here. While doing
checksums of the objects individually would be a good redundancy check
for test cases and the like, when doing a pull there's no good reason
to burn cycles on SHA256.
This caused deadlocks and/or EMFILE due to the interaction between
threads and fds. What we really want here is a better pull-based
model for parsing content objects.
Another idea would be to change static deltas so that content objects
have a special opcode that includes their metadata first, and then do
rollsums etc. only over actual content.
This will avoid too many open files at the same time that could cause
an EMFILE error.

See projectatomic/rpm-ostree#42 for rationale. There are two high
level use cases:
- If the OS comes unconfigured, this is a way to point it at a repo of your choice.
- To switch between repositories while keeping the same branch easily.
At some point, we might want to expose a uniform way to refer
to deployments by an index. At the moment undeploy is the only
command that does.
I plan to introduce another command which optionally takes an index,
so prepare a helper function for this.
This is a noticeable cleanup, and fixes another big user of GFile* in
performance/security sensitive codepaths.
I'm specifically making this change because the static deltas code was
leaking temporary files, and cleaning that up nicely would be best if
we were fd relative.
This will be used for a later change to use openat() for the fetching
code. Note that we drop the code to use mmap() - it was an attempt to
avoid keeping a fd open, but we do correctly close anyways.
You create these with something like:
ostree static-delta generate --empty --to=master
These will be automatically used during pull if no previous revision
exists in the target repo.
These work very much like the normal static deltas except they
are named just by the "to" revision. I.e:
deltas/94/f7d2dc23759dd21f9bd01e6705a8fdf98f90cad3e0109ba3f6c091c1a3774d
for a from-scratch to 94f7d2dc23759dd21f9bd01e6705a8fdf98f90cad3e0109ba3f6c091c1a3774d delta.

Regression from 86764dbf00
This function is kind of fiendish now that we have 3 cases, each of
which want to be optimized somewhat to only load what's necessary
(e.g. don't open the file if we don't have an output for stream
requested).
Clean things up so that BARE_USER and BARE are separate conditionals
that share as much as possible, and fix the bug that asserted we
were in BARE mode.
I tested this by running test-basic-user.sh by hand.
Some use cases for checkouts don't need to fsync during checkout.
Installer programs for example will just do a global fsync at the end.
In the future, the default "ostree admin" core could also be
rearchitected to only do a transaction commit right before reboot, and
do the fsync then.

This is just an efficiency optimization. We're getting fairly close
to all of the hot code paths using `*at()`.
Note that we end up maintaining a half-duplicate code path set here,
because we still need to support commits from an arbitrary GFile *,
which in a possible common case is an OSTree commit.
I think it's worth it though.
rpm-ostree had code to check for this, which didn't actually work.
I don't see a no backwards compatibility concern in changing this, as
it's unlikely a caller would try to sensibly disambiguate FAILED.
We were already using openat() for the contents, but not the xattrs.
Now that libgsystem 2014.3 has gs_fd_get_all_xattrs(), make use of it.
Clean things up a bit so we only open the fd once.
For Anaconda, I needed OSTREE_REPO_REMOTE_CHANGE_ADD_IF_NOT_EXISTS,
with the GFile *sysroot argument to avoid ugly hacks. We want to
write the content provided via "ostreesetup" as a remote to the target
chroot only in the case where it isn't provided as part of the tree
content itself.
This is also potentially useful in idempotent systems management tools
like Ansible.

Must have glossed over these because the commands are so simple.
- List subcommands for "ostree remote --help".
- Only show options relevant to COMMAND for
"ostree remote COMMAND --help".
ostree_repo_pull_with_options() needs this, and I'd rather keep the
OstreeRemote struct definition tucked away in ostree-repo.c with its
own internal API.
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.
This solves some problems caused by merging system-wide remote data into
the OstreeRepo's internal config key file.

This format is pretty much the same as the "bare" format, except the
file ownership and xattrs is not stored in the actual filesystem object, but
rather on the side in a user xattr. This means two things:
1) An unprivileged user can store such a repo independent of the types
of files in it or their xattrs. And you can later (as root)
reconstruct the real filesystem tree with ownership. Although you
can't do that using hardlink-sharing. This also means ostree
fsck does a full verification.
2) Such a repository can be checked out with user-mode (checkout -U)
as an unprivileged user using hardlinks for space sharing.
Additionally, symlinks are stored as regular files (with the content
being the symlink target) because user xattrs are not supported on
symlinks. We know at checkout time if the file is a symlink because
the original st_mode is stored in the xattr metadata.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=741125
Applying xattrs on a symlink during checkout failed since
it was setting the xattrs on the final filename, not the
temporary name.
This made the "checkout union 1" test in test-basic.sh
fail.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=741125
When commiting a symlink we do store the uid/gid of the actual
symlink (i.e. not target). However, this was not restored
on non-user-mode checkout as it should.
This commit fixes that, and additionally it ensures xattrs
on symlinks are not set in user-mode checkout.

We need basic support for UEFI - many newer servers don't support
BIOS compatibility mode anymore.
However, this patch only implements non-atomic because UEFI is FAT, and
we can't do the previous design for OSTree of atomic swap of
/boot/loader.
The Fedora/RHEL UEFI layout has the kernels on a "real" /boot
partition, and /boot/efi/EFI/$vendor just holds the grub2 UEFI binary
and grub.cfg.
Following this, /boot/loader is still on the OS boot partition, and we
still atomically swap it. This potentially paves the way to atomic
upgrades in the future.

Some package systems need to be run as root, so the process linking to
libostree may also be root. However, it's reasonable to have the
target repository be owned by a uid other than root.
This patch makes it Just Work by chowning the file content to match.

For Anaconda, we have an ugly bootstrapping problem where we need to
add the remote to the repository's config, then do a pull+deploy, then
remove and re-add the config, because /etc/ostree/remotes.d doesn't
exist yet in the target system.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=738698
While we did support disabling the uncompressed-objects-cache
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.
In this approach, we drop a /etc/grub.d/15_ostree file which is a
hybrid of shell/C that picks up bits from the GRUB2 library (e.g. the
block device script generation), and then calls into libostree's
GRUB2 code which knows about the BLS entries.
This is admittedly ugly. There exists another approach for GRUB2 to
learn the BLS specification. However, the spec has a few issues:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2014-July/msg00002.html
This approach also gives a bit more control to the admin via the
naming of the 15_ostree symlink; they can easily disable it:
Or reorder the ostree entries ahead of 10_linux:
Also, this approach doesn't require patches for grub2, which is an
issue with the pressure to backport (rpm-)OSTree to EL7.

Previously, in the case where a parent directory of a modified config
file was removed, we would throw an exception. This happens when
switching from a tree that has some software (e.g. firewalld), to one
that does not.
While it's nice to have this warning that your config file probably no
longer applies, there's no need to make it so...fatal.
It's particularly problematic that the only easy workaround is to
remove the config files from your current tree - which breaks
rollback.
The solution then is for for us to take ownership of the parent
directories too into the new /etc. Admins can clean up these files
afterwards at any time.

While looking to fix a different bug here, I found the current
state of things where we had a mix of fd-relative API versus not
frustrating.
Change the code around to consistently use *at, and also add some more
tests.
For Fedora and potentially other distributions which use globally
distributed mirrors, metalink is a popular solution to redirect
clients to a dynamic set of mirrors.
In order to make metalink work though, it needs *one* file which can
be checksummed. (Well, potentially we could explode all refs into the
metalink.xml, but that would be a lot more invasive, and a bit weird
as we'd end up checksumming the checksum file).
This commit adds a new command:
$ ostree summary -u
To regenerate the summary file. Can only be run by one process at a
time.
After that's done, the metalink can be generated based on it, and the
client fetch code will parse and load it.

This patch adds a function that will parse a partial checksum when
resolving a refspec. If the inputted refspec matches a truncated
existing checksum, it will return that checksum to be parsed. If
multiple truncated checksums match the partial refspec, it is not
unique and will return false. This addition is inspired by the same
functionality in Docker, which allows a user to reference a specific
commit without typing the entire checksum.

This modifies the list_objects and list_objects_at functions
to take an additional argument for the string that a commit starts
with. If this string arg is not null, it will only list commit
objects beginning with that string. This allows for a new function
ostree_repo_list_commit_objects_starting_with to pass a partial string
and return a list of all matching commits. This improves on the
previous strategy of listing refs because it will list all commit objects,
even ones in past history. This update also includes bugfixes on
error handling and string comparison, and changes the output structure
of resolve_partial_checksum. The new strcuture will no longer return FALSE
without error. Also, the hashtable foreach now uses iter. Also
includes modified test file
/var needs to be read-write for a functioning system. Various
systemd services will fail to start if /var is read-only. After we
remount /var (or if we skip remounting /var because / is read-only),
if /var is still readonly, mount a tmpfs file system on /var.
While this isn't strictly part of ostree, keeping it here makes sense
because it keeps twiddling around with the /var mount in one place
for easier coordination and maintenance. This will likely need updating
if systemd gains better support for a readonly root filesystem.

Luckily if we e.g. hit ENOSPC during a pull, the checksums wouldn't
match and we'd return an error anyways. However when writing an
object, we'd end up silently ignoring it =/

The generic GKeyFile error isn't quite informative enough here.
I hit this with the new compose process where we don't automatically
inject a configured remote into the generated disk images; we expect
people to add them.

There's several use cases for calling into ostree itself to do
mirroring, instead of using bare rsync. For example, it's a bit more
efficient as it doesn't require syncing the objects/ directory.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728351
For the local repository on the system, it's not the usual case to
have the complete compose history. Rather than erroring out, provide
a bit more friendly message.

In the case of running ostree as non-root on a regular filesystem (not
tmpfs which doesn't support immutable), we should just silently do
nothing if we encounter EPERM. Cache the result to avoid spam in
strace.

We weren't installing the headers, but at the moment all symbols
starting with ostree_ were being exported. Fix that by prefixing
non-static symbols with '_'.

Finally, fsync to ensure all entries are on disk, unless disabled.
We support disabling this for cases like server-side buildroot
construction where we don't need to be robust against power loss
The previous S_IMMUTABLE commit broke ostree-remount; / is now not
actually writable. All we really wanted to know though was whether it
was *mounted* writable, so check that via statvfs() which is cleaner
anyways (i.e. not via access() which kernel people hate).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728006
On some storage configurations, fsync() can be extremely expensive.
Developers and users with slow hard drives may want the ability to opt
for speed over safety.
Furthermore, many production servers have UPS and stable kernels, and
the risk of not fsync'ing in that scenario is fairly low. These users
should also be able to opt out.
This prevents people from creating new directories there and expecting
them to be persisted. The OSTree model has all local state to be in
/etc and /var.
This introduces a compile-time dependency on libe2fsprogs.
We're only doing this for the root directory at the moment.

If fetching GPG-signed commits over plain HTTP, a MitM attacker can
fill up the drive of targets by simply returning an enormous stream
for the commit object.
Related to this, an attacker can also cause OSTree to perform large
memory allocations by returning enormous GVariants in the metadata.
This helps close that attack by limiting all metadata objects to 10
MiB, so the initial fetch will be truncated.
But now the attack is only slightly more difficult as the attacker
will have to return a correctly formed commit object, then return a
large stream of < 10 MiB dirmeta/dirtree objects.

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().
They shouldn't be loaded for random test/personal repositories. Doing
so triggers another bug in that we return them from
ostree_repo_get_config() when then causes clients to write them out
permanently to disk with ostree_repo_write_config(). This caused test
suite failures.
This makes it easy to use for the case where rpm-ostree-toolbox is
injecting systemd services into the deployment root, and we don't
actually need to traverse the whole FS.
For many OS install scenarios, one runs through an installer which may
come with embedded data, and then the OS is configured post-install to
receive updates.
In this model, it'd be nice to avoid the post-install having to rewrite
the /ostree/repo/config file.
Additionally, it feels weird for admins to interact with "/ostree" -
let's make the system feel more like Unix and have our important
configuration in /etc.

The option --port-file=- is most useful when the stdout of the daemon
is programatically redirected and not going to a terminal. The
flush-after-a-line behavior of stdout is specific to terminals, so
we need an explicit flush.

For the static deltas work, we're using the already-extant internal
API to perform a HTTP fetch for optional data - static deltas are
optional.
Except that we didn't correctly unset the error if we were doing an
optional fetch and the data wasn't found.
There's two halves to this; first, when we create an hierarchy, we
need to call fsync(). Second, we need to fsync again anytime after
we've modified a directory.
To be really sure that any directory entries have hit disk we need to
call fsync() on the directory fd. This API allows us to conveniently
create a directory hierarchy, fsyncing all of it along the way.
