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].

In Silverblue right now, the boot menu title looks like this:
Fedora 29.20190301.0 (Workstation Edition) 29.20190301.0 (ostree)
This is because RPM-OSTree's `mutate-os-release` feature is enabled,
which injects the OSTree version string directly into `VERSION` and
`PRETTY_NAME`. So appending the version string again is a bit redundant.
Let's just do a simple substring check here before adding the version to
the title.

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
is the specific instance of the issue this patches tries to address.

This allows specifying gpgpath as list of
paths that can point to a file or a directory. If a directory path
is given, paths to all regular files in the directory are added
to the remote as gpg ascii keys. If the path is not a directory,
the file is directly added (whether regular file, empty - errors
will be reported later when verifying gpg keys e.g. when pulling).

Rather than manually starting the `ostree-finalize-staged.service` unit,
we can leverage systemd's path units for this. It fits quite nicely too,
given that we already have a path we drop iif we have a staged
deployment.
To give some time for the preset to make it to systems, we don't yet
drop the explicit call to `systemctl start`. Though we do make it
conditional based on a DEBUG env var so that we can actually test it in
CI for now. Once we're sure this has propagated, we can drop the
`systemctl start` path and the env var together.

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.

complete, having the LAN finder enabled slows down that step of the

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
non-root user writing to a root owned repository. If the repo is
writable by the user but owned by root, it can still create files and
directories there, but it can't change ownership of them.
This feature comes from
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=738954. As it turns out, this
feature was never completed. It only works on content objects and not
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

Fix this by copying over the logic we have for the hardlink case.
Closes: #1753

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.

There are use cases for libostree as a local content store
for content derived or delivered via other mechanisms (e.g. OCI
images, RPMs, etc.). rpm-ostree today imports RPMs into OSTree
branches, and puts the RPM header value as commit metadata.
Some of these can be quite large because the header includes
permissions for each file. Similarly, some OCI metadata is large.
Since there's no security issues with this, support committing
such content.
We still by default limit the size of metadata fetches, although
for good measure we make this configurable too via a new
`max-metadata-size` value.

Currently the locking code checks if the value -1 was set for the config
key "lock-timeout-secs" and if so, a thread trying to acquire a lock
will block indefinitely. Positive values specify how long to attempt to
acquire a lock in a non-blocking way (the attempt is made once every
second). But when the value is read from the config file,
g_ascii_strtoull() is used, which converts it to an unsigned integer.
This commit makes libostree use g_ascii_strtoll() instead, so that it's
possible to set that key to -1 as intended.

There's some subtlety to this, we don't handle all cases.
But the 99% cases are using `--sysroot deploy` to create an
initial deployment, and then doing upgrades from inside
a booted deployment.
It was only the latter case that didn't work with a separate `/var`.
Fixing all of them would probably require libostree to learn
how to e.g. look at `/etc/fstab` (or worse, systemd mount units?)
and handle the mounting. I don't think we want to do anything
like that right now, since there are no active drivers for the
use case.

this calculation can be done independently from the transaction's codepaths, hence
enabling the usage for ostree_repo_get_min_free_space_bytes() API irrespective

This commit defines a metadata key that tells clients to update their
remote config to add a collection ID. This functionality is currently
implemented in Flatpak for the key "xa.collection-id", but there are two
good reasons for moving the key to OSTree:
1) Servers such as Flathub shouldn't set xa.collection-id in their
metadata now or in the medium term future, because many users are still
using old versions of Flatpak and OSTree[1] which would hit various
bugs[2][3][4] on the P2P code paths that are enabled by collection IDs.
Defining a new key means that only clients running recent
(as-yet-unreleased) versions of Flatpak and OSTree will pay attention to
it and deploy the collection ID, leaving the users on old versions
unaffected.
2) OSTree is as "invested" in collection IDs as Flatpak, so there's no
reason the key should be defined in Flatpak rather than here. According
to Philip Withnall, the reason the key was put in Flatpak originally was
that at the time there was uncertainty about tying OSTree to collection
IDs.
