Adds an entry to the origin file to force the OstreeSysrootUpgrader to
pull and deploy the given checksum.
[origin]
override-commit=CHECKSUM
If the option is not given, any such entry is explicitly removed from
the origin file to ensure we upgrade to the latest available commit.
Upgrader now looks for an "override-commit" key in the origin file
with a commit checksum, which causes the upgrader to pull and deploy
the specified commit rather than the latest available commit on the
origin refspec.
The current code checks if /boot/uEnv.txt is a symlink to
decice if sysroot requires u-boot support. Why this is bad:
There are 2 ways to provide a custom env to u-boot from user space:
1) A compiled binary that is sourced from u-boot.
2) A text file (usually /uEnv.txt) that is imported into env from u-boot.
The current OSTree u-boot integration code was designed with the 1st
case in mind.
Many bootscripts provided by an embedded device vendors expect
to find uEnv.txt in the top level directory, it is often hardcoded
when building u-boot and is difficult to change later on. Or in other
cases it is stored in read-only memory so changing it would require
re-flushing boot loader with a new env. So the issue here is that
OSTree's and vendor uEnv.txt want to exist and the same path and OSTree
would throw away any changes added to /uEnv.txt by user on the next
upgrade/deploy.
This patch "hides" away the OSTree's env file loader/uEnv.txt from users
who are used to edditing uEnv.txt at the top level directory. Now to add
OSTree support on such boards you can simply add a custom logic in uEnv.txt
that loads ostree env from /loader/uEnv.txt
This change is backward compatible with the previous ostree releases and
solves the issue described in:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=755787
Using `commit_subject` instead of `arg` is clearer as it can refer to
a directory, archive or ref.
This is just an aesthetic change in the source code, having no impact
anywhere else.
There is already a check that the destination object does not
exist in all other cases when processing an incoming static delta.
However, the bspatch case would still try to run and fail. Add
an analogous check to that case as well.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756260
zlib can return LZMA_BUF_ERROR, which indicates that either
the input or output buffer has size zero. This case should cause
the correct error to be passed back from g_converter_convert
to expand the relevant buffer. Since this error is ambiguous
as to which buffer is too small, an explicit check on the
output buffer size is added as well.

I was working on a different test, and ended up being very confused at
the behavior where removing the last deployment didn't remove the last
`ostree/X/X/X` ref pointing to its commit.
There's no reason to special case the last undeployment AFAIK, and the
existing code handles this.
Track outstanding HTTP requests in a table for easier debugging.
Also fixes a bug discussed in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/755224
where the outstanding request counter was not decremented in the
event of an error, which could result in the fetcher hitting its
max request limit and locking up.
The bug is fixed by removing the request struct from the table in
pending_uri_free(), which is always called regardless of error,
so the outstanding request count is always accurate.
Have OstreeFetcherPendingURI be the GTask's task_data and pass the GTask
around in queues and callback closures. The reference counting before
was a little confusing and this helps clarify it, at least to me.
OstreeFetcherPendingURI no longer needs its own reference count.
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.
To support deploying older commits:
ostree pull <remote> <checksum>
ostree admin deploy <checksum>
Prior to this, the deploy command garbage collected <checksum> since
there's no ref pointing to it, and then ostree_sysroot_deploy_tree()
fails because it can't find the <checksum> commit.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/732526
New public function works like ostree_sysroot_cleanup() EXCEPT FOR
pruning the repository.
Under the hood, add _ostree_sysroot_piecemeal_cleanup() which takes
flags to better control what files are cleaned up. Both public cleanup
functions are now wrappers for _ostree_sysroot_piecemeal_cleanup() with
different flags.
xdg-app was hanging for me with v2015.8, but worked with v2015.7.
I narrowed things down to the GMainLoop/context commit, in which
we started pushing a temporary main context for synchronous
requests internally.
That's never really going to work with libsoup - there needs
to be a single main context which works on the socket. Furthermore,
clients couldn't get progress messages that way.
For *other* internal uses where we added APIs that talk to the remote
repo, we cleanly push a temporary main context.
(Note that I kind of snuck in a change here around the GError handling
in pulls that isn't strictly related but came up in testing)
I noticed xdg-app was looping trying to fetch 1427 refs. We
don't want to do that unless asked to.
(And also, we need to make static delta requests async)
There's no reason to keep them hidden. I have a hard policy that
OSTree should *not* be used to carry secrets. Things like host ssh
private keys should be set up out of band by an OS-external
configuration mechanism such as kickstart, cloud-init, etc.
We also assume that hiding binaries is not very useful as most
attackers would be able to find them on the Internet or (for
subscribed content) acting as a customer.
This fixes a bug with mirroring because we changed to take the
unmodified upstream objects rather than uncompress <-> recompress.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748959
Now that the computed similar objects are all regular files,
get_unpacked_unlinked_content should never be called on any other
object type. Assert that this is true instead of silently succeeding.
_ostree_delta_compute_similar_objects should not output symlinks.
Previously, a symlink in the "from" commit could be matched to a
real file in the "to" commit, since nothing was filtering symlinks
on the "from" side. This led to failures running the bzdiff
algorithm.
On systems with slow disks, the recursive scanning of directories can
be expensive -- it takes upwards of 2 minutes on our systems. This can
block the main loop for such a long time that it allows the download to
time out...
As such, move all the scanning of objects to a queue, processed from
an idle, to make sure that we don't block the main loop when scanning.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=753336
First of all, what we were doing with having GMainLoop in the internal
APIs is wrong. Synchronous APIs should always create their own main
context and not iterate the caller's. Doing the latter creates
potential for evil reentrancy issues. Sync API should block, async
API is for not blocking.
Now that's out of the way, fix the pull code to do the clean
```
while (termination_condition (state))
g_main_context_iteration (mainctx, TRUE);
```
model for looping. This is a lot easier to understand and ultimately
more reliable than having other code call `g_main_loop_quit()`, as the
loop condition is in exactly one place.
We can also remove the idle source which only fired once.
Note we have to add a hack here to discard the synchronous session and
create a new one which we only use async.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=753336
ostree_repo_prepare_transaction() should always be matched with a call
to either ostree_repo_commit_transaction() or
ostree_repo_abort_transaction().
Since ostree_repo_pull_with_options() does not call
ostree_repo_abort_transaction() on errors, the OstreeRepo instance will
hit an assertion when it's re-used later for another attempt, such as
when the update is driven by an external component through libostree and
network temporarily goes down.
This commit simply always calls ostree_repo_abort_transaction() in the
exit path of ostree_repo_pull_with_options(), since the function is safe
to call even when we're not in a transaction, and that matches e.g. what
ostree-sysroot-cleanup.c does.
The new API permits to query a remote repository summary file and
retrieve the list of available refs.

Returns a GFile for the default system root, which is usually the root
directory unless overridden by the OSTREE_SYSROOT environment variable
(which is mainly intended for testing).
libsoup will cache sessions, so it might be the case that we get a
reused session when pulling from the same repo multiple times in one
process.
In this case we were leaking signal connections, which caused
callbacks into freed memory with bad consequences.
Fix it by tying the signal connection to the object lifetime.
I did a quick audit pass through the pull code. What I focused on the
most is the case where `gpg-verify-summary=true`, and in particular
where `gpg-verify=false` too. This should be a valid and secure
configuration.
The primary change here is to error out very quickly if either
`summary` or `summary.sig` are 404. Previously, we'd only error out
if we were processing deltas.
Expand the existing test case to cover this, plus invalid summary and
invalid sig. (The test case was failing with current git master too).
It allows to specify whether GPG verification for the summary file is
enabled for a specific repository.
Signed-off-by: Giuseppe Scrivano <gscrivan@redhat.com>
Works like "ostree refs" but fetches refs from a remote repo.
This depends on the remote repo having a summary file, but any repo
being served over HTTP *ought* to have one.
This may not be the best idea for general usage, but the only use case
for metalinks currently is fetching a summary file and those are pretty
small. Far more convenient to return the file content in a GBytes.
The state machine's "passthrough_previous" field never got set, so the
machine gets put back into the wrong state after a passthrough phase.
Couple other minor issues around error handling.
The global keyring directory (trusted.gpg.d) is deprecated. Only use it
when a specified remote does NOT have its own keyring, or when verifying
local repository objects.
Note, because mixing in the global keyring directory is now an explicit
choice, OstreeGpgVerifier no longer needs to implement GInitableIface.
We need to check that it's 'ay'. Also reuse the existing validation
function to check it's 32 bytes rather than potentially crashing with
assertion.
Just noticed this during a code review.
If there are multiple signatures to verify, we would attempt to
display them multiple times, but we can only call
`gs_console_end_status_line()` if the console has been enabled.
Ensure we turn back on the console after printing our status. This
will result in extra newlines, but fixing that cleanly would require a
saner GSConsole API.
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.
When I was introducing the `_UNLOCKED` flag, I only audited
subcommands of `ostree admin`, but I missed that `ostree admin
instutil` also used the option parsing. Those are only used by
Anaconda today so we can ignore them for locking purposes.
Also, the usage help generation was grabbing the lock unnecessarily.
If a remote keyring does not already exist, create an empty pubring.gpg
file in the temporary directory prior to importing keys. This prevents
gpg2 from creating a pubring.kbx file in the new keybox format [1]. We
want to stay with the older keyring format since its performances issues
are not relevant here.

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.

The previous commit introduced locking for `ostree admin deploy`, but
we do expect people to possibly accidentally do e.g.
`ostree admin upgrade` concurrently.
Using consistent locking in the admin commands will help rpm-ostree.
Closes: https://github.com/GNOME/ostree/pull/110
Imports one or more GPG keys from a source stream or from the user's
personal keyring into a remote-specific keyring. The keys to import
can optionally be restricted by a list of key IDs.
The imported keys are used to conduct GPG verification when pulling
from the given remote.
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.
I use the trivial httpd server locally. Each time I restart the
server, I end up modifying manually the config file for other repos so
to point to the correct port. In this way I can just re-use the same
port.

This originally was a way that we detected the case where a pull was
interrupted. Later, we added `.commitpartial` files which also cover
this case.
See also https://github.com/GNOME/ostree/pull/85
We still want to honor their existence (and unlink them) in case an
old version of ostree was in use, but I believe it's safe to stop
creating them now.
The only case where this would break is if you have a version of
ostree that predates commitpartial in your rollback history, but such
old versions are no longer in use by operating systems I support at
least.
Closes: https://github.com/GNOME/ostree/pull/100
An OSTree user noticed that `ostree fsck` would produce `missing
object` errors in the case of interrupted pulls.
It's possible to do e.g. `ostree pull --subpath=/usr/share/rpm ...`,
which gets you just that portion of the commit. The use case for this
was being able to see what changes would appear in an update before
actually downloading all of it.
(I think this would be better covered by static deltas, but those
aren't final yet, and `--subpath` predates it)
Further, `.commitpartial` is used as a successor to the `transaction`
symlink for more precise knowledge in the case where a pull was
interrupted that we needed to resume scanning.
So it makes sense for `ostree fsck` to be aware of it.
First, this is just a general continuation of the `GFile -> openat`
transition.
Second, it's preparatory work for fsck to gain awareness of partial
commits.
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.
To make room for "remote gpg-import", which will be non-trivial.
ot-builtin-remote.c was already a little too crowded anyway.
Also while we're at it, port this bit of code away from libgsystem.
Always request detached metadata for commit objects, even if we already
have the commit object. This ensures we fetch any post facto detached
metadata updates such as new GPG signatures.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/748220
These fsyncs were added for what turned out to be a fairly bogus
reason; I was hitting read errors from extlinux after upgrades and out
of conservatisim tried adding fsync calls, but the *actual* problem
was that extlinux didn't support 64 bit ext4. Now that at least for
Project Atomic hosts we're just targeting grub2, we can drop these
fsync calls and rely on `syncfs()` being both faster and catching any
errors.
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.
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.
