For some sort of crazy reason, the `sync()` system call doesn't
actually return an error code, even though from what I can tell in the
kernel it wouldn't be terribly hard to add.
Regardless though, it is better for userspace apps to use `syncfs()`
to avoid flushing filesystems unrelated to what they want to sync. In
the case of OSTree, this does matter - for example you might have a
network mount point backing your database, and we don't want to block
upgrades on syncing it.
This change is safe because we're doing syncfs in *addition* to the
previous global `sync()` (a revision from an earlier patch).
Now because OSTree only touches the `/` mount point which covers the
repository, the deployment roots (including their copy of `/etc`), as
well as `/boot`, we should at some point later be able to drop the
`sync()` call. Note that on initial system installs we do relabel
`/var` but that shouldn't happen at ostree time - any new directories
are taken care of via `systemd-tmpfiles` on boot.
This way external programs like rpm-ostree can do fd-relative
operations on the deployment directories, like inspecting the RPM
database.

Rather than returning a new OstreeRepo instance in each call to
ostree_sysroot_get_repo(), cache one internally so the same instance
is returned each time.
Emitted during a pull operation upon GPG verification (if enabled).
Applications can connect to this signal to output the verification
results if desired.
do not write directly to the summary file but use a temporary file
first. It avoids to create an empty file if "ot_util_variant_save"
fails.

I was looking at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=738954
which wants us to ensure we chown() the refs. As part of that,
I did a generic conversion to use `*at()` (which naturally gives
us more low level control so we can call `fchown` etc.
This patch also sneaks in a change to respect the repo's
`disable_fsync` flag - if fsync is not set, then we never
`fdatasync()` (unlike the `g_file_replace_contents()` default. Also
unlike it, if fsync is enabled, we *always* sync even if the file
didn't exist.
This will be used by rpm-ostree to unset the immutable bit temporarily
in order to do package layering. We could add an API to deploy a tree
without the immutable bit, but this is simpler.
rpm-ostree currently uses ostree_repo_checkout_tree(), which as a side
effect will use the uncompressed objects cache by default. This is
rather annoying if you're using rpm-ostree on a server-side
repository, because if you then rsync the repo, you'll be syncing out
the uncompressed objects unless you exclude them.
We added the ability to disable the uncompressed cache in the
repository config to fix this, but it's better to allow application
control over this. The uncompressed cache will in some future version
become opt in as well.
This new API further:
- Drops the `GFile` usage in favor of `openat` APIs
- Improves ergonomics by avoiding callers having to query the source
`GFileInfo` (and carry around a copy of `OSTREE_GIO_FAST_QUERYINFO`)
- Has a more extensible options structure
Per the comment, I rather crudely have the `ostree checkout` builtin
call both APIs to ensure some testing coverage.
However, I'd like to in the future have easier-to-set-up testing code
that calls `libtest.sh` to set up dummy data.
It's valid for the remote server to say 200 OK and give us the entire
file instead of a 206 Partial Content, and in that case we should blow
away the previous cached data, rather than blindly appending to it and
thus creating multiple copies of the data inside the file.
This problem primarily occurs when we do have the complete file, and
we're interrupted, then try again, where the new process didn't record
the download was already complete. We do a range request for bytes
past the end, and some web servers (e.g. Akamai) will return 200 OK
with the whole content again, rather than a 416 Requested Range Not
Satisfiable.
Thus we could also fix this by saner caching strategy - since we know
the file is complete, rename it again to $checksum.done or something
before it's processed. (Or really, rework how we do caching more
intelligently in general).
This fixes the issue that interrupted pulls failed with such
webservers, although repeated attempts would eventually succeed
because we'd unlink files that failed to pull.

If the starting index is beyond the end of the list, it's a programming
error. Previously, the code was trying to raise a runtime error, but
actually causing a segfault.
This was detected by test code in test-mutable-tree.c, which is removed
in this commit because it should now not be possible to crash here.

Uses OstreeGpgVerifyResult to catch duplicate signatures.
If the commit has already been signed with the given GPG key ID, fail
with a G_IO_ERROR_EXISTS error code.
Wrappers a referenced gpgme_verify_result_t so detailed verify results
can be examined independently of executing a verify operation.
_ostree_gpg_verifier_check_signature() now returns this object instead
of a single valid/invalid boolean, but the idea is for OstreeRepo to also
return this object for commit signature verification so it can be utilized
at the CLI layer (and possibly by other programs).
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.
In anticipation of API enhancements for GPG signature verification, which
would otherwise require a non-functional stub version were GPGME excluded.
GPGME is a pretty lightweight dependency, and the motivation to exclude
it is not clear.
The signature data is in memory to begin with, so there's no need to
write it to disk only to immediately read it back.
Also, because the GPGME multi-keyring workaround is somewhat expensive
to setup and teardown, concatenate all signatures into a single GBytes
so _ostree_gpg_verifier_check_signature() is only called once. We're
currently only looking for one valid signature anyway.
This sets the stage for more advanced signature management.
(Also, talking to GPG over pipes sucks.)
Previously we were spawning gpgv2 with a bunch of --keyring options
for /usr/share/ostree/trusted.gpg.d/ and whatever other keyring files
were explicitly added. GPGME has no public API for multiple keyrings,
so we work around the issue by setting up a temp directory to serve as
a fake "home" directory for the crypto engine and then concatenate all
the keyring files into a single public keyring (pubring.gpg).
Unfortunately at present we do this on every signature verification.
There's a desire to cache this concatenation, but the problem is the
user may be unprivileged. So it seems the cache would have to be per
user under $XDG_CACHE_HOME, which OSTree doesn't otherwise use. I'm
open to suggestions.
We do at least clean up the temp directory when finished, and I have
further API changes planned to OstreeGpgVerifier to help mitigate the
performance impact.
it will be used by the next patch that adds "--generate-static-delta"
to the commit command.
As part of the patch, update the list of supported "params" in the
documentation.
