This is only about 40%, and mostly simpler functions. It's
nice to switch to `g_autoptr(GMatchInfo)` instead of our inline version.
I decided to add more usage of `ot_transfer_out_value()`, though it'd
be nice to try to have a copy of that in libglnx (or possibly glib).

In [this commit](6ce80f9685)
for some reason I added a `sepolicy` member to the sysroot. I
have no idea why I did that, and it's conceptually wrong
since the policy is specific to a *deployment*.
This bit me when I was working on [a pull request](https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/pull/763)
elsewhere, since at that point it was `NULL`.
We already pass around the sepolicy in the deployment code, so just stop caching
it.

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.

More sophisticated users of libostree like rpm-ostree need control over things
like the system repository. Previously we introduced a "no cleanup" flag to
`ostree_sysroot_simple_write_deployment()`, but that's a high level API that
does filtering on its own.
Since rpm-ostree needs more control, let's expose the bare essentials of the
"sysroot commit" operation with an extensible options structure, where one of
the options is whether or not to do post-transaction repository operations.
Closes: #745
Approved by: jlebon
For future work I'm going to tweak how we handle cleanup, and
the private cleanup flags didn't really end up being used - we
only specify "prune repo or not". So fold that into a boolean for now.
The sysroot deploy logic then has a single "do_postclean" boolean, which is all
I want to expose as public API.

Since forever, we've been doing two cleanups. In
8ece4d6d51
I thought we were doing just one and wanted to go to zero (if specified),
but I actually just dropped one cleanup.
In https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/pull/452
@jlebon pointed out the duplication. Fix this by creating a new internal
deploy wrapper that takes cleanup flags.
(Since we already had the "piecemeal cleanup" API internally, let's
frame it in terms of that, rather than passing down a boolean).

I noticed seeing the output of `prune` twice in rpm-ostree, and had
always wondered why. When reading the rpm-ostree code to fix
something else, reasons, I noticed the reason - we were pruning once
here, and then once after rpm-ostree regenerates its "base" refs.
There's no reason to clean twice, so let's add a flag so rpm-ostree
can suppress doing it inside libostree.

It's close-on-exec, not close-on-fork. I was clearly confused when
writing this; it works just fine to reference the fd in the child and
`fchdir()` before exec. So drop the unnecessary duplication.
Just noticed this while reading the code for a random other reason.

This changes around a few things that didn't work for me:
* Section names seem to be ostree-* instead of libostree-*
* Also XML files are ostree-* (they didn't show up at all)
- gtk-doc doesn't seem to parse const _OSTREE_PUBLIC correctly
* pull documentation is now on the actual functions rather than stubs
* Update gitignore with some more files
And there some changes to make gtk-doc give fewer warnings (not finished)

I'm trying to improve the developer experience on OSTree-managed
systems, and I had an epiphany the other day - there's no reason we
have to be absolutely against mutating the current rootfs live. The
key should be making it easy to rollback/reset to a known good state.
I see this command as useful for two related but distinct workflows:
- `ostree admin unlock` will assume you're doing "development". The
semantics hare are that we mount an overlayfs on `/usr`, but the
overlay data is in `/var/tmp`, and is thus discarded on reboot.
- `ostree admin unlock --hotfix` first clones your current deployment,
then creates an overlayfs over `/usr` persistent
to this deployment. Persistent in that now the initramfs switchroot
tool knows how to mount it as well. In this model, if you want
to discard the hotfix, at the moment you roll back/reboot into
the clone.
Note originally, I tried using `rofiles-fuse` over `/usr` for this,
but then everything immediately explodes because the default (at least
CentOS 7) SELinux policy denies tons of things (including `sshd_t`
access to `fusefs_t`). Sigh.
So the switch to `overlayfs` came after experimentation. It still
seems to have some issues...specifically `unix_chkpwd` is broken,
possibly because it's setuid? Basically I can't ssh in anymore.
But I *can* `rpm -Uvh strace.rpm` which is handy.
NOTE: I haven't tested the hotfix path fully yet, specifically
the initramfs bits.
This will allow daemons like rpm-ostree to detect if there are any new
deployments efficiently, in combination with using inotify. If there
are any changes, rpm-ostree wants publish them on DBus.
While we're here, add some changes to start doing unit C testing of
the sysroot API.
And change the command line to use it. rpm-ostree had a copy
of this code, and thus there's a clear reason to have an API.
While we're moving this into API, ensure the mtime on deploy is bumped
after an osname is created, so that daemons like rpm-ostree can notice
changes. (In reality, creating the directory should do this, but
let's be double sure)
If ostree is run in a test setup where it operates as root in a tmp
directory, it might cause issues to flag the deployments as immutable.
The test harness might simply be doing an `rm -rf` (effectively the case
for gnome-desktop-testing-runner), which will then fail.
We add a new debug option to the ostree_sysroot object using GLib's
GDebugKey functionality to allow our tests to communicate to ostree that
we don't want immutable deployments.
I haven't done a full dig through the history, but it seems quite
possible right now we've been relying on inode enumeration
order for generating bootloader configuration.
Most of the time, newer inodes (i.e. later written files) will win.
But that's obviously not reliable.
Fix this by sorting the returned configuration internally.
The blocking locking API wasn't sufficient for use in the rpm-ostree
daemon; it really wants to know if the lock is held, then continue to
do other things (like service DBus requests), and get notification
when the lock is available.
We also add an async variant that can be called if the lock is not
available.
Implement a higher level "loop until lock is available" method in the
`ostree admin` commandline.
If a system administrator happens to type `ostree admin upgrade`
multiple times, currently that will lead to a potentially corrupted
system.
I originally attempted to do locking *internally* in `libostree`, but
that didn't work out because currently a number of the commands
perform multi-step operations that all need to be serialized. All of
the current code in `ostree admin deploy` is an example.
Therefore, allow callers to perform locking, as most of the higher
level logic is presently implemented there.
At some point, we can revisit having internal locking, but it will be
difficult. A more likely approach would be similar to Java's approach
with concurrency on iterators - a "fail fast" method.
This way external programs like rpm-ostree can do fd-relative
operations on the deployment directories, like inspecting the RPM
database.
Closes: https://github.com/GNOME/ostree/pull/91
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.
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/$osname/deploy.
A better long term fix is probably to move the origin file into the
deployment root as /etc/ostree/origin.conf or so.
In the meantime, let's ensure the .origin files are labeled as
configuration.
We need basic support for UEFI - many newer servers don't support
BIOS compatibility mode anymore.
However, this patch only implements non-atomic because UEFI is FAT, and
we can't do the previous design for OSTree of atomic swap of
/boot/loader.
The Fedora/RHEL UEFI layout has the kernels on a "real" /boot
partition, and /boot/efi/EFI/$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.

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.
It turns out people sometimes want to be able to change the kernel
arguments. Add a convenient API to do so for the current deployment.
This will be used by Anaconda.
The "ordered hash" code was really just for kernel arguments. And it
turns out it needs to be a multihash (for e.g. multiple console=
arguments).
So turn the OstreeOrderedHash into OstreeKernelArgs, and move the bits
to split key=value and such into there.
Now we're not making this public API yet - the public OstreeSysroot
just takes char **kargs. To facilitate code reuse between ostree/ and
libostree/, make it a noinst libtool library. It'll be duplicated in
the binary and library, but that's OK for now. We can investigate
making OstreeKernelArgs public later.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=721136
This commit changes the sysroot API so that one can create arbitrary
new deployment checkouts, then commit them as one step. This is to
enable things like an automatic bisection tool which say create 50
deployments at once, then when done clean them up.
This also moves some printfs from the library into src/ostree.
This uses gpgv for verification against DATADIR/ostree/pubring.gpg by
default. The keyring can be overridden by specifying OSTREE_GPG_HOME.
Add a unit test for commit signing with gpg key and verifying on pull;
to implement this we ship a test GPG key generated with no password
for Ostree Tester <test@test.com>.
Change all of the existing tests to disable GPG verification.
Now that we have a real GObject for the sysroot, we have a convenient
place to keep track of 4 pieces of state:
* The current deployment list
* The current bootversion
* The current subbootversion
* The current booted deployment (if any)
Avoid requiring callers to pass all of this around and load it
piecemeal; instead the new thing is ostree_sysroot_load().
Originally, the idea was that clients would replicate "OS/tree"s from
a build server, but we'd run things like "ldconfig" on the client.
This was to allow adding e.g. the nVidia binary driver.
However, the triggers were the only thing in the system at the moment
that really had expected knowledge of the *contents* of the OS, like
the location of binaries.
For now, it's architecturally cleaner if we move the burden of
triggers to the tree builder (e.g. gnome-ostree or RPM). Eventually
we may want OSTree to assist with this type of thing (perhaps
something like RPM %ghost), but this is the right thing to do now.
