The flag is originally defined for "basic data partitions", but not for the
ESP. We reuse it for the various partitions defined by the Discoverable
Partitions Spec, but it isn't defined for the ESP, hence don't check for
it. Instead, do check for GPT_FLAG_NO_BLOCK_IO_PROTOCOL, as that flag
actually is defined for all partition types, and recommended to use by
the UEFI spec.
Fixes: #5218
This slightly extends the roothash loading logic to first check for a
user.verity.roothash extended attribute on the image file. If it exists,
it is used as Verity root hash and the ".roothash" file is not used.
This should improve the chance that the roothash is retained when the
file is moved around, as the data snippet is attached directly to the
image file. The field is still detached from the file payload however,
in order to make sure it may be trusted independently.
This does not replace the ".roothash" file loading, it simply adds a
second way to retrieve the data.
Extended attributes are often a poor choice for storing metadata like
this as it is usually difficult to discover for admins and users, and
hard to fix if it ever gets out of sync. However, in this case I think
it's safe as verity implies read-only access, and thus there's little
chance of it to get out of sync.
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.
If the dissected image contains symlinks for the mount points we need we
need to make sure to follow this with chase_symlinks() so that we don't
leave the image.
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 two new APIs to systemd:
- loop-util.h is a simple internal API for allocating, setting up and releasing
loopback block devices.
- dissect-image.h is an internal API for taking apart disk images and figuring
out what the purpose of each partition is.
Both APIs are basically refactored versions of similar code in nspawn. This
rework should permit us to reuse this in other places than just nspawn in the
future. Specifically: to implement RootImage= in the service image, similar to
RootDirectory=, but operating on a disk image; to unify the gpt-auto-discovery
generator code with the discovery logic in nspawn; to add new API to machined
for determining the OS version of a disk image (i.e. not just running
containers). This PR does not make any such changes however, it just provides
the new reworked API.
The reworked code is also slightly more powerful than the nspawn original one.
When pointing it to an image or block device with a naked file system (i.e. no
partition table) it will simply make it the root device.
