Otherwise, we'll be subject to whatever `umask` is currently. Normally,
processes should respect `umask` when creating files and directories,
but specifically for `ostree admin unlock` (or `rpm-ostree usroverlay`),

daemon that doesn't run as root and needs to read files under `/usr`,
such as polkitd.
This patch just does a `chmod()` after the `mkdir()`. An alternative
would be to do `umask(0000)` after forking into the child process
that'll call `mount()`, but that'd require also moving the `mkdir()`
calls into there, making for a more intrusive patch.

Currently for a "normal" refspec you can choose to use
ostree_repo_resolve_rev_ext() instead of ostree_repo_resolve_rev() if
you only want to look at local refs (in refs/heads/) not remote ones.
This commit provides the analogous functionality for
ostree_repo_resolve_collection_ref() by adding a flag
OSTREE_REPO_RESOLVE_REV_EXT_LOCAL_ONLY and implementing it. This
will be used by Flatpak.
Closes: #1825
Approved by: jlebon
Currently the flag OSTREE_REPO_LIST_REFS_EXT_EXCLUDE_REMOTES for
ostree_repo_list_collection_refs() means that refs in refs/remotes/
should be excluded but refs in refs/mirrors/ should still be checked, in
addition to refs/heads/ which is always checked. However in some
situations you want to exclude both remote and mirrored refs and only
check local "owned" ones. So this
commit adds a new flag OSTREE_REPO_LIST_REFS_EXT_EXCLUDE_MIRRORS which
lets you exclude refs/mirrors/ from the listing.
This way we can avoid breaking API but still allow the listing of local
collection-refs.
The impetus for this change is that I'm changing Flatpak to make more
use of refs/mirrors, and we need a way to specify that a collection-ref
is local when using ostree_repo_resolve_collection_ref() in, for
example, the implementation of the repo command. The subsequent commit
will make the changes needed there.

My last commit "lib/repo-refs: Resolve collection-refs in-memory and in
parent repos" changed ostree_repo_resolve_collection_ref() to check the
in-memory set of refs *after* failing to find the ref on disk but that's
not what we want. We want to use the in-memory set of refs first,
because those are the most up to date commits, and then fall back to the
on-disk repo and finally fall back to checking any parent repo. This
commit makes such a change to the order of operations, which is
consistent with how ostree_repo_resolve_rev() works.

Currently the P2P code requires you to trust every remote you have
configured to the same extent, because a remote controlled by a
malicious actor can serve updates to refs (such as Flatpak apps)
installed from other remotes.[1] The way this attack would play out is
that the malicious remote would deploy the same collection ID as the
victim remote, and would then be able to serve updates for it.
One possible remedy would be to make it an error to configure remotes
such that two have the same collection ID but differing GPG keys. I
attempted to do that in Flatpak[2] but it proved difficult because it is
valid to configure two remotes with the same collection ID, and they may
then each want to update their keyrings which wouldn't happen
atomically.
Another potential solution I've considered is to add a `trusted-remotes`
option to ostree_repo_find_remotes_async() which would dictate which
keyring to use when pulling each ref. However the
ostree_repo_finder_resolve_async() API would still remain vulnerable,
and changing that would require rewriting a large chunk of libostree's
P2P support.
So this commit represents a third attempt at mitigating this security
hole, namely to have the client specify which remote to use for GPG
verification at pull time. This way the pull will fail if the commits
are signed with anything other than the keys we actually trust to serve
updates.
This is implemented as an option "ref-keyring-map" for
ostree_repo_pull_from_remotes_async() and
ostree_repo_pull_with_options() which dictates the remote to be used for
GPG verification of each collection-ref. I think specifying a keyring
remote for each ref is better than specifying a remote for each
OstreeRepoFinderResult, because there are some edge cases where a result
could serve updates to refs which were installed from more than one
remote.
The PR to make Flatpak use this new option is here[3].

The sysroot.bootloader key configures the bootloader
that OSTree uses when deploying a sysroot. Having this key
allows specifying behavior not to use the default bootloader
backend code, which is preferable when creating a first
deployment from the sysroot (#1774).
As of now, the key can take the values "auto" or "none". If
the key is not given, the value defaults to "auto".
"auto" causes _ostree_sysroot_query_bootloader() to be used
when writing a new deployment, which is the original behavior
that dynamically detects which bootloader to use.
"none" avoids querying the bootloader dynamically. The BLS
config fragments are still written to
sysroot/boot/loader/entries for use by higher-level software.
More values can be supported in future to specify a single
bootloader, different behavior for the bootloader code, or
a list of bootloaders to try.

Currently the behavior of ostree_repo_resolve_rev() is that it tries to
resolve a ref to a commit by checking the refs/ directories, but also by
checking for in-memory ref-checksum pairs which are part of an
in-progress transaction and also by checking the parent repo if one
exists. Currently ostree_repo_resolve_collection_ref() only checks the
refs/ directories, so this commit makes its behavior analagous since it
is the analagous API which supports collection-refs.
The impetus for this was that currently Flatpak uses
ostree_repo_resolve_rev() to load a commit after doing a P2P pull in
flatpak_dir_do_resolve_p2p_refs(), but that assumes the ref came from
the same remote that originally provided it, which might not be the case
if more than one remote has the same collection ID configured. And
changing Flatpak to use ostree_repo_resolve_collection_ref() doesn't
work without this patch.

We want a case where we can disable the min-free-space check. Initially,
it felt like to add a OSTREE_REPO_PULL_FLAGS_DISABLE_FREE_SPACE_CHECK but
the problem is prepare_transaction() does not have a OstreeRepoPullFlags
parameter which we can parse right here. On top of it, prepare_transaction()
enforces min-free-space check and won't let the transaction proceed if
the check failed.
This is pretty bad in conjunction with "inherit-transaction" as what
Flatpak uses. There is no way to disable this check unless we remove
it altogether from prepare_transaction.
This issue came out to light when flatpak wasn't able to write metadata
after fetching from remote:
[uajain@localhost ~]$ flatpak remote-info flathub org.kde.Platform//5.9
error: min-free-space-size 500MB would be exceeded
Metadata objects helps in housekeeping and restricting them means
restricting crucial UX (like search, new updates) functionalities
in clients like gnome-software. The error banners originated from
these issues are also abrupt and not much helpful to the user. This

This commit disables searching on the local network for refs, unless
explicitly requested by the user either by changing the value of the
"core.repo-finders" config option, or by passing an OstreeRepoFinderAvahi to
ostree_repo_find_remotes_async() / ostree_repo_finder_resolve_async(),
or by specifying "lan" in the --finders option of the find-remotes
command.
The primary reason for this is that ostree_repo_find_remotes_async()
takes about 40% longer to complete with the LAN finder enabled, and that
API is used widely (e.g. in every flatpak operation). It's also probable
that some users don't want ostree doing potentially unexpected traffic
on the local network, even though everything pulled from a peer is GPG
verified.
Flathub will soon deploy collection IDs to everyone[1] so these code
paths will soon see a lot more use and that's why this change is being
made now.
Endless is the only potential user of the LAN updates feature, and we
can revert this patch on our fork of ostree. For it to be used outside
Endless OS we will need to upstream eos-updater-avahi and
eos-update-server into ostree.

Currently libostree essentially has two modes when it's pulling refs:
the "legacy" code paths pull only from the Internet, and the code paths
that are aware of collection IDs try to pull from the Internet, the
local network, and mounted filesystems (such as USB drives). The problem
is that while we eventually want to migrate everyone to using collection
IDs, we don't want to force checking LAN and USB sources if the user
just wants to pull from the Internet, since the LAN/USB code paths can
have privacy[1], security[2], and performance[3] implications.
So this commit implements a new repo config option called "repo-finders"
which can be configured to, for example, "config;lan;mount;" to check
all three sources or "config;mount;" to disable searching the LAN. The
set of values mirror those used for the --finders option of the
find-remotes command. This configuration affects pulls in three places:
1. the ostree_repo_find_remotes_async() API, regardless of whether or
not the user of the API provided a list of OstreeRepoFinders
2. the ostree_repo_finder_resolve_async() /
ostree_repo_finder_resolve_all_async() API
3. the find-remotes command
This feature is especially important right now since we soon want to
have Flathub publish a metadata key which will have Flatpak clients
update the remote config to add a collection ID.[4]
This effectively fixes https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/1863
but I'll patch Flatpak too, so it doesn't pass finders to libostree only
to then have them be removed.

Previously, we were preparing the root very late in the boot process;
right before we switch root. The issue with that is that most services
in the initrd that run `After=initrd-root-fs.target` expect that
`/sysroot` already points to the rootfs we'll be pivoting to. Running
this late violates that assumption.
This patch fixes this by making `ostree-prepare-root.service` instead
run right after `sysroot.mount` (the physical sysroot mounted by
systemd) but still before `initrd-root-fs.target` (which is the target
signalling that `/sysroot` is now valid and ready).
This should make it easier to integrate OSTree with other initrd
services such as Ignition.

The idea is that if the process is running as root, it can change
ownership of newly written files to match the owner of the repo.
Unfortunately, it currently applies in the other direction, too - a

writable by the user but owned by root, it can still create files and
directories there, but it can't change ownership of them.

metadata objects, refs, deltas, summaries, etc. Rather than try to fix
all of those, remove the feature until someone has interest in
completing it.

Actually testing the patch to add `--force-copy-zerosized` to
rpm-ostree tripped over the fact that it uses `--union-identical`,
and we just hit an assertion failure with that combination.
Fix this by copying over the logic we have for the hardlink case.

In rpm-ostree we've hit a few cases where hardlinking zero-sized
files causes us problems. The most prominent is lock files in
`/usr/etc`, such as `/usr/etc/selinux/semanage.LOCK`. If there
are two zero-sized lock files to grab, but they're hardlinked,
then locking will fail.
Another case here is if one is using ostree inside a container
and don't have access to FUSE (i.e. `rofiles-fuse`), then the
ostree hardlinking can cause files that aren't ordinarily hardlinked
to become so, and mutation of one mutates all. An example where
this is concerning is Python `__init__.py` files.
Now, these lock files should clearly not be in the tree to begin
with, but - we're not gaining a huge amount by hardlinking these
files either, so let's add an option to disable it.
