May extract some of the prep to a separate PR soon.

☔ The latest upstream changes (presumably f113fc5) made this pull request unmergeable. Please resolve the merge conflicts.

Lots of confusion in the codebase about this. The basic problem is that in *most* cases, our code doesn't care; it's conceptually operating on `/usr/etc`, which we could maintain as `/etc` and just rename it back at the very end. The exceptions though are the `/etc/passwd` handling and livefs. And of course libostree needs to handle `/usr/etc` vs `/etc` for config merging. I considered trying to keep things the other way, but while I think we have some ugly added here in this patch for things where we need to maintain an external view (`remove-files` and `remove-from-packages`, and boy am I glad we had tests for those), this ends up being mostly more consistent elsewhere. One thing that might help is to maintain a fd for it; but that'd be an even more invasive change. This also ends up rolling in some unified core prep from coreos#940 in the form of `rename_if_exists()` - basically for some minimal rootfs we may not have `/boot`, or for that matter potentially even `etc`. Prep for coreos#997

OK, this is updated again against master. Required for rpm-ostree jigdo ♲📦. Still WIP...going to try to clean things up a bit.

cgwalters · 2017-11-14T23:14:50Z

Note to self, need to implement NODOCS, that's an immediate obvious diff between libdnf and ucore compose tree. Tentatively thinking of doing this at unpack time.

OK, lifting WIP on this. I have been squashing issues in the unprivileged path for a while but I am not sure how many more remain, and none of those really block the jigdo work. So I think my vote is let's land this, it's just an --ex option, but already works well enough I think for people to test out.

cgwalters · 2017-11-16T19:59:54Z

src/app/rpmostree-compose-builtin-tree.c

+      if (!glnx_opendirat (AT_FDCWD, "/", TRUE, &host_rootfs_dfd, error))
+        return FALSE;
+      g_autoptr(OstreeSePolicy) sepolicy = ostree_sepolicy_new_at (host_rootfs_dfd, cancellable, error);
+      if (!sepolicy)


I should note this also means that --ex-unified-core requires having selinux-policy-targeted in the container/host.

Let's just print a notice instead and keep going? It would make it easier to test from a container. :)
Anyway if caching, then we only pay that relabel cost once, right?

One can install the policy in a container, that's what I've done. We could stumble on but it means the relabel actually rewrites every object. Seems easier to require people to install policy?

(That said of course this whole thing intersects with #971)

jlebon

This looks really nice. Surprisingly less gory than expected.
Just one real concern, though I'd like to give it a spin as well.

jlebon · 2017-11-16T21:14:53Z

src/app/rpmostree-compose-builtin-tree.c

+        return FALSE;
+      if (!rpmostree_context_relabel (self->corectx, cancellable, error))


We don't need this relabel though, right? Otherwise IIUC, we will unnecessarily relabel the whole cache everytime the build env changes policy, even if the target tree didn't.

It seems you're right...I am not entirely sure what I was thinking there. Deleted in a fixup ⬇️

Minor: any reason for formatting this as a lib? Seems cleaner as a basic-test.sh we just source directly like ostree's basic-test.sh. Not super opposed either way though.

I kept this as just to avoid too much churn but may revisit later.

☔ The latest upstream changes (presumably 7ab8869) made this pull request unmergeable. Please resolve the merge conflicts.

Adding the 2nd test revealed this didn't actually work, will fix at some point.

It seems that libarchive ends up returning `getuid()` actually, possibly because the cpio doesn't actually have ownership information? Anyways, what we really want here is to set `0/0`, which is what happens for the `ex container` path via `OSTREE_REPO_COMMIT_MODIFIER_FLAGS_CANONICAL_PERMISSIONS`. Prep for unified core 🌐.

In an unprivileged case, we can't do this on the real filesystem. For `ex container`, we want to completely ignore uid/gid. I added a test installing `httpd` which failed previously. TODO: For non-root `--ex-unified-core` we need to do it as a commit modifier.

jlebon · 2017-11-17T15:12:44Z

And even when run as uid 0, there are some bugs, though I'm not sure
of any showstoppers yet. For example, dracut's dracut-install calls
cp --preserve=xattrs which fails to copy the user.ostreemeta xattrs
from a checkout (it shouldn't be copying that anyways...)

Yup, definitely also hitting this now. Did you investigate why it happens? It looks like we're getting ENOTSUP, which is probably due to /tmp being on tmpfs. But yet AFAIK, we're using --dir /tmp when invoking bwrap and our rootfs is in the ostree repo tmpdir, right?

cgwalters · 2017-11-17T15:14:23Z

Yeah it's the user.ostreemeta xattr, and "no user. xattrs on tmpfs" combo. See dracutdevs/dracut@61c761b

cgwalters · 2017-11-17T15:16:16Z

(I suppose we could actually bind a host /var/tmp tmpdir?)

The "--ex" prefix here means it's an experimental option. A tremendous change here is that start to support non-uid 0, but there are various things to fix there; the unpacker for example needs to learn to set imported objects fully based on the rpmfi information (i.e. default to uid 0, since libarchive gives the current uid by default). And even when run as uid 0, there are some bugs, though I'm not sure of any showstoppers yet. For example, dracut's `dracut-install` calls `cp --preserve=xattrs` which fails to copy the `user.ostreemeta` xattrs from a checkout (it shouldn't be copying that anyways...) Nevertheless, the infrastructure behind this really helps (is almost a hard requirement for) the [jigdo effort](coreos#1081). Which is really only true due to SELinux - we need to import the packages, then generate the final tree to get the final policy, then use that policy to relabel all of the packages.

jlebon · 2017-11-17T16:24:14Z

Ahhh right, bwrap itself uses a tmpfs when creating the container root. Yeah, probably easier to just bind a /var/tmp tmpdir and drop the --tmpdir=/tmp argument. We can do that later though!

Seems like the unified test is still failing.

cgwalters · 2017-11-17T17:46:00Z

I am not sure what's going on, that kver is clearly wrong; must be something with the regexp? But I can't reproduce locally, and it sure seems to me the kernel version downloaded in the logs should be fine too. I added some more logging in a fixup and also reworked it to be a bit more robust. (I keep forgetting about grep -o)

cgwalters · 2017-11-17T18:07:25Z

Well, that fixed it anyways!
