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
bit more sophisticated.

This reverts commit 1eff3e8343. There
are a few issues with it. It's not a critical thing for now, so
let's ugly up the git history and revisit when we have time to
debug it and add more tests.
Besides the below issue, I noticed that the simple `ostree remote add`
now writes to `/ostree/repo/config` because we *aren't* using the
`--sysroot` argument.
Closes: https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/issues/901Closes: #902
Approved by: mike-nguyen
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 is prep for introducing a fd-relative `ostree_repo_new_at()`.

• Commit timestamps, so it’s easy to work out whether a given commit is
newer than the one we have locally
• Summary file timestamp, so it’s easy to work out whether the summary
file is more up to date than another summary file
• Summary file expiry time, so clients can work out when they should
expect the summary file to next be updated, and hence can query for
it at roughly the right time
The expiry time requires input from the user, so is currently never set
automatically. Programs using libostree can set it if they wish.

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.

When fetching over a fast enough connection, we can be receiving files
faster than we write them. This can then lead to EMFILE when we have
enough files open. This was made very easy to notice with the upcoming
libcurl backend, which makes use of pipelining.
Closes: #675
Approved by: cgwalters
Working on the libcurl backend, I didn't want to reimplement another queue. I
think the queue logic is really better done at the high level, since the fetcher
knows how we want to prioritize metadata over content, etc.
Adding another queue here is duplication, but things will look nicer when we can
actually delete the libsoup one in the next commit.

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.

I was having this thought today about making more of the OS readonly,
and ultimately if we got to the point where all ostree operations are
through the repo and sysroot dfds, we could have rpm-ostree be the
only process holding those fds open, and have a read-only bind mount
on top.
Anyways, we're not there, likely won't be soon, but this gets us
closer to being fully fd relative.

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.

In general this is even cleaner now, though it was better after I
extracted a helper function for the "write tempfile with contents"
bits that were shared between metadata and regular file codepaths.
Closes: #369
Approved by: jlebon
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.

There was some leftover intermediate cruft here I noticed
while reviewing another patch:
- We had an output `GFile*` for that was never used
- We required the caller to allocate the loose pathbuf, but
none of them ever reused it
- We had an extra intermediate function
Also while looking at this, I'm now uncertain whether some of the
callers of `_ostree_repo_has_loose_object` should really be invoking
`ostree_repo_has_object()`, but let's leave that aside for now.

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
staging directories and try to aquire an exclusive lock for them. If
we can't find any staging directory or they are all already locked,
then we create a new one.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=757611
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.
The later is useful if you want to support some kind of resumed operation
on the tmpdir.

Also renames OstreeRepoTrustedContentBareCommit to
OstreeRepoContentBareCommit so that it can be used by both.
This will be needed when we introduce checksum verification of objects
in static deltas.
Had a rare situation where I had no libsoup development files, so I
took the opportunity to fix the build errors. Ugly, but works now.
Would be nice if libsoup could be a hard dependency since we rarely
ever test a configuration without it.
External daemons like rpm-ostree want push notification any time a
change is made by an external entity. inotify provides notification,
but a problem is there's no easy way to monitor all of the refs.
In the past, there has been discussion of opt-in recursive timestamps:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/5/307
But in today's world, let's just bump the mtime on the repo itself, as
a central inotify point.
