In -U mode we might need to re-chown() all files and directories to
match the UID shift we want for the image. That's problematic on fat
partitions, such as the ESP (and which is generated by mkosi's
--bootable switch), because fat of course knows no UID/GID file
ownership natively.
With this change we take benefit of the uid= and gid= mount options FAT
knows: instead of chown()ing all files and directories we can just
specify the right UID/GID to use at mount time.
This beefs up the image dissection logic in two ways:
1. First of all support for mounting relevant file systems with
uid=/gid= is added: when a UID is specified during mount it is used for
all applicable file systems.
2. Secondly, two new mount flags are added:
DISSECT_IMAGE_MOUNT_ROOT_ONLY and DISSECT_IMAGE_MOUNT_NON_ROOT_ONLY.
If one is specified the mount routine will either only mount the root
partition of an image, or all partitions except the root partition.
This is used by nspawn: first the root partition is mounted, so that
we can determine the UID shift in use so far, based on ownership of
the image's root directory. Then, we mount the remaining partitions
in a second go, this time with the right UID/GID information.
This adds some simply detection logic for cases where dissection is
invoked on an externally created loop device, and partitions have been
detected on it, but partition scanning so far was off. If this is
detected we now print a brief message indicating what the issue is,
instead of failing with a useless EINVAL message the kernel passed to
us.
This makes nspawn's logic of automatically discovering the root hash of
an image file generic, and then reuses it in systemd-dissect and in
PID1's RootImage= logic, so that verity is automatically set up whenever
we can.
In preparation for reusing the image dissector in the GPT auto-discovery
logic, only optionally fail the dissection when we can't identify a root
partition.
In the GPT auto-discovery we are completely fine with any kind of root,
given that we run when it is already mounted and all we do is find some
additional auxiliary partitions on the same disk.
This is useful for reusing the dissector logic in the gpt-auto-discovery logic:
there we really don't want to use MBR or naked file systems as root device.
This adds support for discovering and making use of properly tagged dm-verity
data integrity partitions. This extends both systemd-nspawn and systemd-dissect
with a new --root-hash= switch that takes the root hash to use for the root
partition, and is otherwise fully automatic.
Verity partitions are discovered automatically by GPT table type UUIDs, as
listed in
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/DiscoverablePartitionsSpec/
(which I updated prior to this change, to include new UUIDs for this purpose.
mkosi with https://github.com/systemd/mkosi/pull/39 applied may generate images
that carry the necessary integrity data. With that PR and this commit, the
following simply lines suffice to boot up an integrity-protected container image:
```
# mkdir test
# cd test
# mkosi --verity
# systemd-nspawn -i ./image.raw -bn
```
Note that mkosi writes the image file to "image.raw" next to a a file
"image.roothash" that contains the root hash. systemd-nspawn will look for that
file and use it if it exists, in case --root-hash= is not specified explicitly.
This adds support to the image dissector to deal with encrypted images (only
LUKS). Given that we now have a neatly isolated image dissector codebase, let's
add a new feature to it: support for automatically dealing with encrypted
images. This is then exposed in systemd-dissect and nspawn.
It's pretty basic: only support for passphrase-based encryption.
In order to ensure that "systemd-dissect --mount" results in mount points whose
backing LUKS DM devices are cleaned up automatically we use the DM_DEV_REMOVE
ioctl() directly on the device (in DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE mode). libgcryptsetup at
the moment doesn't provide a proper API for this. Thankfully, the ioctl() API
is pretty easy to use.
This adds a small tool that may be used to look into OS images, and mount them
to any place. This is mostly a friendlier version of test-dissect-image.c. I am
not sure this should really become a proper command of systemd, hence for now
do not install it into bindir, but simply libexecdir.
This tool is already pretty useful since you can mount image files with it,
honouring the various partitions correctly. I figure this is going to become
more interesting if the dissctor learns luks and verity support.
