/tmp might not be mounted at all yet (given that we support
SYSTEMD_NSPAWN_TMPFS_TMP=0 to turn this off), and /tmp is a dir systemd
usually tries to unmount during shutdown (unlike /run), and we shouldn't
keep it busy. Hence let's just move these deleted files to /run so that
we don't keep /tmp needlessly busy.
Some chattrs only work sensible if you set them right after opening a
file for create (think: FS_NOCOW_FL). Others only work when they are
applied when the file is fully written (think: FS_IMMUTABLE_FL). Let's
take that into account when copying files and applying a chattr to them.
The host mounts it like that, nspawn hence should do too.
Moreover, mount the file system after doing CLONEW_NEWIPC so that it
actually reflects the right mqueues. Finally, mount it wthout
considering it fatal, since POSIX mqueue support is little used and it
should be fine not to support it in the kernel.
The function is otherwise generic enough to toggle other bind mount
flags beyond MS_RDONLY (for example: MS_NOSUID or MS_NODEV), hence let's
beef it up slightly to support that too.
Previously both run() and run_container() would free 'fds'. Let's fix
that, and let run() free it but make run_container() already remove all
fds from it, because that's what we actually want to do.
Fixes: #12073
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.
Let's separate out the raw uid_t/gid_t handling from the username
handling. This is useful later on.
Also, let's use the right gid_t type for group types wherever
appropriate.
if we sync the legacy and unified trees before moving to the right
subcgroup then ultimately the cgroup paths in the hierarchies will be
out-of-sync... Hence, let's move the payload first, and sync then.

Previously, when we'd copy an individual file we'd synthesize a
user.crtime_usec xattr with the source's creation time if we can
determine it. As the creation/birth time was until recently not
queriable form userspace this effectively just propagated the same xattr
on the source to the same xattr on the destination. However, current
kernels now allow to query the birthtime using statx() and we do make
use of that now. Which means that suddenly we started synthesizing these
xattrs much more regularly.
Doing this actually does make sense, but only in very few cases:
not for the typical regular files we copy, but certainly when dealing
with disk images. Hence, let's keep this kind of propagation, but let's
make it a flag and default to off. Then turn it on whenever we deal with
disk images, and leave it off otherwise.
This is particularly relevant as overlayfs combining a real fs, and a
tmpfs on top will result in EOPNOTSUPP when it is attempted to open a
file with xattrs for writing, as tmpfs does not support xattrs, and
hence the copy-up cannot work. Hence, let's avoid synthesizing this
needlessly, to increase compat with overlayfs.
Previously, we'd refuse the combination, and claimed we'd imply it, but
actually didn't. Let's allow the combination and imply read-only from
--volatile=, because that's what's documented, what we claim we do, and
what makes sense.
