Libguestfs - Feb 2017 - [PATCH 09/10] New API: mksquashfs

Hi,

this patch series does changes mostly in virt-dib, few bug fixes and
a couple of new features (mostly implemented upstream already).
In addition, one new API is added, and a new optional argument for an
existing API is added (the latter is not needed, but could be useful
anyway).

Thanks,

Pino Toscano (10):
  dib: fix listing envvars in fake-sudo
  dib: source dib "die" script in some phases
  dib: change hooks path when running extra-data.d scripts
  dib: re-read list of scripts when running in-chroot hooks
  dib: cleanup logs at end of build
  copy-out: new 'excludes' optional argument
  dib: add appliance check hook in Output_format
  daemon: move make_exclude_from_file as common helper
  New API: mksquashfs
  dib: add squashfs output format

Query awk for the list of environment variables, instead of trying to
extract the list from the output of `env`: the old approach breaks when
any of the environment variable contains more than one line.

Source the "die" script, part of the diskimage-builder library, when
running hooks that run outside the guest chroot.  This is what
disk-image-create does, and scripts expect to use the "die" function
without sourcing the "die" script containing it.

It looks like scripts (in particular in the extra-data.d phase) may
in-flight add new scripts to the existing ones.  As first step to
handle this situation, change the path of hooks passed for extra-data.d
scripts: instead of the local temporary directory, use the in-guest
location that is visible as result of the local fuse-based mount of the
guest.

Scripts (especially root.d and extra-data.d) may add new scripts to the
existing set during their execution: in this case, re-read the list of
available scripts, so we do not miss any new addition.

Recently, diskimage-builder moved the log cleanup from the 'base'
element to disk-image-create proper; the cleanup done is:
- truncate any file in /var/log
- remove *.log files in /root

This was implemented in diskimage-builder upstream as
commit 022d93ee822e71245af52c4cf8f8a8e82f599af3.

Add a new 'excludes' optional argument to copy-out, passing it straight
to tar-out: this way it is possible to exclude files when extracting a
directory from the guest.

It will be useful also for APIs different than tar-out, so move it to
guestfsd.c, and add it a parameter to specify the function name that
invoked it.

This is mostly code motion.

2.9.3

Introduce a new API to create a new squashfs filesystem out of a path
in the guest.  It can be configured to exclude paths based on patterns,
and to select which compression use for the filesystem.

The advantage of running mksquashfs directly in the appliance is that
ownerships are properly saved, as opposed to tar_out + local untar.

Implement the "squash" output format, i.e. a squashfs compressed
filesystem.

This was implemented in diskimage-builder upstream as
commit 9d13084c4183b63587e1f5e4b03395a8df6538f6.

FWIW you can do some really weird sh*t with environment variables,
such as creating ones whose name contains newlines.  That would break
the above code:

$ env $'A\nB=C' awk 'BEGIN{for (i in ENVIRON) {print i}}'

But probably not important enough to worry about, so ACK :-)

This change seems reasonable.  Should we:

(1) Bind other tar-out parameters?  It looks as if numericowner,
xattrs, selinux and acls would all be candidates.

(2) More importantly for this patch, keep the order of the options
compatible with tar-out?  This would allow us to pass the
optargs_bitmask straight through, if that's an advantage (it may not
be). The 'compressed' optarg for tar-out makes this a bit more
complicated.

I'm fairly sure this was proposed before as an API, but I cannot find
that right now.  Was rejected because mksquashfs doesn't support
streaming output.

However I'm fine with this, although perhaps there should be a warning
in the longdesc saying that there may be problems with large files.  I
think this API will break in the region of 3GB.

Patch series looks reasonable, modulo the small comments I made to
specific patches.
