This will call json_variant_sensitive() internally while parsing for
each allocated sub-variant. This is better than calling it a posteriori
at the end, because partially parsed variants will always be properly
erased from memory this way.
The CPU_SET_S api is pretty bad. In particular, it has a parameter for the size
of the array, but operations which take two (CPU_EQUAL_S) or even three arrays
(CPU_{AND,OR,XOR}_S) still take just one size. This means that all arrays must
be of the same size, or buffer overruns will occur. This is exactly what our
code would do, if it received an array of unexpected size over the network.
("Unexpected" here means anything different from what cpu_set_malloc() detects
as the "right" size.)
Let's rework this, and store the size in bytes of the allocated storage area.
The code will now parse any number up to 8191, independently of what the current
kernel supports. This matches the kernel maximum setting for any architecture,
to make things more portable.
Fixes#12605.
There's no point in returning the "key" within each loop iteration as
JsonVariant object. Let's simplify things and return it as string. That
simplifies usage (since the caller doesn't have to convert the object to
the string anymore) and is safe since we already validate that keys are
strings when an object JsonVariant is allocated.
This is a pretty large patch, and adds support for OCI runtime bundles
to nspawn. A new switch --oci-bundle= is added that takes a path to an
OCI bundle. The JSON file included therein is read similar to a .nspawn
settings files, however with a different feature set.
Implementation-wise this mostly extends the pre-existing Settings object
to carry additional properties for OCI. However, OCI supports some
concepts .nspawn files did not support yet, which this patch also adds:
1. Support for "masking" files and directories. This functionatly is now
also available via the new --inaccesible= cmdline command, and
Inaccessible= in .nspawn files.
2. Support for mounting arbitrary file systems. (not exposed through
nspawn cmdline nor .nspawn files, because probably not a good idea)
3. Ability to configure the console settings for a container. This
functionality is now also available on the nspawn cmdline in the new
--console= switch (not added to .nspawn for now, as it is something
specific to the invocation really, not a property of the container)
4. Console width/height configuration. Not exposed through
.nspawn/cmdline, but this may be controlled through $COLUMNS and
$LINES like in most other UNIX tools.
5. UID/GID configuration by raw numbers. (not exposed in .nspawn and on
the cmdline, since containers likely have different user tables, and
the existing --user= switch appears to be the better option)
6. OCI hook commands (no exposed in .nspawn/cmdline, as very specific to
OCI)
7. Creation of additional devices nodes in /dev. Most likely not a good
idea, hence not exposed in .nspawn/cmdline. There's already --bind=
to achieve the same, which is the better alternative.
8. Explicit syscall filters. This is not a good idea, due to the skewed
arch support, hence not exposed through .nspawn/cmdline.
9. Configuration of some sysctls on a whitelist. Questionnable, not
supported in .nspawn/cmdline for now.
10. Configuration of all 5 types of capabilities. Not a useful concept,
since the kernel will reduce the caps on execve() anyway. Not
exposed through .nspawn/cmdline as this is not very useful hence.
Note that this only implements the OCI runtime logic itself. It does not
provide a runc-compatible command line tool. This is left for a later
PR. Only with that in place tools such as "buildah" can use the OCI
support in nspawn as drop-in replacement.
Currently still missing is OCI hook support, but it's already parsed and
everything, and should be easy to add. Other than that it's OCI is
implemented pretty comprehensively.
There's a list of incompatibilities in the nspawn-oci.c file. In a later
PR I'd like to convert this into proper markdown and add it to the
documentation directory.
