Sometimes it is necessary to modify the kernel command-line of the
image, this adds support for a [customizations.kernel] section to the
blueprint:
[customizations.kernel]
append = "nosmt=force"
This will be appended to the kickstart's bootloader --append argument.
Includes tests for modifying the bootloader line, the kickstart
template, and examining the final-kickstart.ks created for a compose.

You would need to run reset to regain control of your terminal after
this happened, so this turns off the monitor and serial port mux to
stdout.

This updates the qemu arguments so that it will actually work, and
switches to using SecureBoot OVMF firmware.

In order to support iso creation on multiple arches with the templates
we need to be able to select different packages based on arch.
lorax-composer uses the arch-specific Lorax templates in order to
generate the output iso so this patch:
1. Creates a new template and type to parse it, live-install.tmpl
which contains only installpkg commands and #if clauses for arch
2. Removes bootloader related packages from the live-iso.ks
3. Remove dracut-config-rescue exclusion because it can cause problems
with some blueprints.
4. Switch logo requirement to system-logos which is satisfied by
generic-logos or fedora-logos. This prevents conflicts when a blueprint
installs fedora-release-workstation.
So in the future, if x86.tmpl, etc. need a new package to support
creating the iso it should be added to the correct section in
./share/live/live-install.tmpl
reqpart can be used to make kickstarts more platform agnostic, creating
needed partitions without lmc having to keep track of the arch-specific
needs. eg. ppc64 needs prepboot and /boot
This increases the size of the disk based on whether reqpart or
reqpart --add-boot is in the kickstart.
Note that this is only valid for partitioned disk output types, not
for filesystem images or live iso output.
It is not actually needed. projects_info deduplicates the package list,
placing other builds into the builds list instead of making a new
package entry. So it returns a sorted and deduped list of packages, as
expected.
In livemedia-creator's usage of this it can never pass in None, but if
someone were to import the library and use it, it would crash with
NoneType. So add the extra checks to make sure cancel_func isn't None,
just in case.
When using LMC to virt-install a system to an image, cancel_func is not
provided in run_creator, causing a TypeError (NoneType object is not
callable).

The reason for the 3G minimum was because anaconda had a bug with how it
calculated minimum disk size when using kickstart. The gix for this has
been in Anaconda since 29.19-1, so we can now remove our limit and
create somewhat smaller disk images.
Anaconda can leave child processes and mounts around when it crashes or
is canceled before finishing. It also sometimes unmounts unrelated file
systems (https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/issues/1791).
Run it in a mount and pid namespace to clean up after it.
We need to be root to read the certificates that give access to the
package repos. Right now, the alternative seems to be changing
permissions on the certs themselves, which seems less good. We're
running anaconda as root anyway.
If a repository has `sslcacert`, `sslclientcert`, or `ssclientkey` set,
pass them to anaconda through the kickstart file. This is mostly the
case when using RHEL repositories that are accessed through a
subscription.
In some cases when the host has, for whatever reason, multiple copies of
the same repo listed the build may fail with an error about running out
of space.
So this commit removes duplicate entries after the host's repos have been
loaded. It also adjusts some of the test repos to use different
temporary repo names for the tests.
If systemd's tmpfiles.d timer is executed while lorax is running it will
remove any files and directories older than 30 days. This is what has
been causing the occasional error where /proc/ would seem to vanish
during the install.
Upstream has proposed this solution, https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/11482
but until that is released we need a work-around to protect the lorax
files.
This commit does several things:
* Move the default tmpdir from /var/tmp/ to /var/tmp/lorax/
* Add a lorax.conf tmpfiles.d file that prevents systemd-tmpfiles from
removing anything under /var/tmp/lorax/
* Add an exit handler to lorax so that temporary directories are removed on
exit or on a python traceback.
* Use flock to lock access to the tempdir while lorax is running.
* Remove any unlocked tempdirs named /var/tmp/lorax/lorax.* at startup
Note that the exit handler will not remove the tempdir if lorax is
killed with a signal -- those are being caught by dnf and prevent the
exit handler from running.
systemd-tmpfiles cannot clean up the tempdirs at boot time because they
contain files labeled as shadow_t, so we have to remove those when lorax
runs. It uses the flock to prevent removing any directories created by
parallel instances of lorax and only removes ones that are unlocked.
Worst case they will be around until the first run of lorax after a
reboot.
If you want to keep the working directory around for debugging purposes
use --workdir /var/tmp/lorax/my-workdir and it won't be removed by
lorax.
After a novirt disk image install, we run `setfiles` in the
install root to ensure some SELinux contexts are correct. /dev
is currently excluded from this run. However, as reported and
discussed in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1663040
it seems that with a recent systemd change, startup of many
services will fail if /dev itself is incorrectly labelled, and
in current Rawhide live images, it *is* incorrectly labelled.
Including `/dev` in this setfiles command appears to resolve the
problem in my testing.

Drop running pkill. This causes problems if more than one is running on
a system (eg. in parallel using mock). It can kill off other processes
unrelated to this instance of anaconda.
This reverts commit 6b5c4df8b5.
Support both
[customizations]
hostname = "whatever"
and
[[customizations]]
hostname = "whatever"
in the blueprint data. The [[ syntax matches the other customization
directives (user, group, sshkey), and as such it's easy to accidentally
use it for the hostname without even realizing it's specifying something
different.
Add some tests for converting customizations to kickstarts.
Run df on the filesystem image after it has been created.
Output will be in program.log, eg:
Running... df /var/tmp/lorax.imgutils.wm04pg_v

Return code: 0
It ends up that this isn't as easy as you'd think. Anaconda sets up some
signal handlers to handle cleanly exiting, but they are not being run
when sent a TERM after package installation has started. I think DNF
resets them causing it to get ignored.
When the cancel is sent it can take several minutes for it to have an
effect. In my testing it usually takes around 2 minutes for anaconda to
notice and exit.
This sends a TERM to the process and then waits for it to exit. When it
returns it then removed any device-mapper devices that were setup for
image installations, removes any hanging loop devices.
It then kills off any process with pyanaconda. in the cmdline, and
anaconda-bus.conf (because anaconda starts a bunch of helpers and if it
doesn't shut down cleanly they remain running).

In addition to monitoring the logs for errors, call a function (or
functions) that tell it to cancel the anaconda process and cleanup.
Also check for a cancel after creating the squashfs image for live-iso
since that's a long running process.
This required adding a new argument to a number of existing functions,
passing it down to QEMUInstall and novirt_install where the function is
called.

When there is no run or new symlink do one last check to make sure no
STATUS file was written. If it is missing, go ahead and remove the
results directory.
Related: rhbz#1656691
If another CANCEL request has already been made just exit from
uuid_cancel. If the build is FINISHED before it times out just exit,
don't remove the finished results.
Related: rhbz#1656691
When the repository has multiple arches, eg. i686 and x86_64, it should
add a new entry to the project's builds list, not create a new project
in the list.
This handles that by adding a modified insort_left function and
examining the packages returned from dnf to make sure they aren't
already listed in the results. It also handles adding them in sorted
order so that no further sorting needs to be done on the results.
Resolves: rhbz#1656642
If the system ran out of space, or was rebooted unexpectedly, the state
of the queue symlinks, or the results STATUS files may be inconsistent.
This checks them and:
* Removes broken symlinks from queue/new and queue/run
* Removes symlinks from run and sets the build to FAILED
* Sets builds w/o a STATUS to FAILED
* Sets builds with STATUS of RUNNING to FAILED
* Creates missing queue/new symlinks to results with STATUS of WAITING
So, any builds that were running during the reboot will be FAILED, and
any that were waiting to be started will be started upon rebooting.

Anaconda, Lorax, lorax-composer, and livemedia-creator can all now run
with SELinux in Enforcing mode. It does not need to be disabled and if
there are denials they should be reported as a bug.
Log the current state of SELinux when starting, update the
documentation.
Running lorax-composer --no-system-repos will prevent it from copying
the dnf repositories from /etc/yum.repos.d/ into the lorax-composer repo
directory. It will *only* use repositories setup using the sources api
or written to /var/lib/lorax/composer/repos.d/
If lorax-composer has previously been run without this switch the system
repos will need to be removed from the composer/repos.d/ directory. It
would also be a good idea to remove the cached metadata in
/var/tmp/composer/
Resolves: rhbz#1650363
Make runtime directly into squashfs image. This reduces largely
unreproducible ext4 layer, but requires anaconda's dracut module
modification to properly mount the image.
And in an intermediate version it returns a VectorString object which
isn't serializable by the json or toml modules.
So convert it to a list so that the type is consistent in the sources
code.
By default mkfs.mksdos choose volume id based on current time. If
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set, use that instead.

The previous method worked, but wasn't exactly idiomatic. This is more
correct, and appears to work the same (templates depsolve, version globs
work, multiple repos work).
Note that this does use a private dnf attribute ._goal, but the word is
that this is going to become a public api soon, so yes it is there on
purpose.
