Pkg xen devel - Feb 2019 - [PATCH 13/13] d/[..]/grub.d/xen.cfg: improve docs even more

The contents are the wip.testme branch currently on salsa. I combined
the wip.initscript and wip.oxenstored into this and added more things
today. I think this is pretty gtg and it's smoke tested (in several
cases by scping files around instead of doing package build), so it
needs a final extra review and test round before putting it in master
branch (which I don't want to force push).

I redid the xenstored init script changes, also including stipped down
/etc/default/xen again. I tested happy and sad paths in the code, but
did not do a full test going back to 4.8 and upgrading again etc.

I finished my non-documentation part of the TODO, so next thing for this
for me will be looking into README.Debian and NEWS.Debian.

TODO:
https://salsa.debian.org/xen-team/debian-xen/issues/24

Also, there are no debian/changelog changes in here yet.

2.20.1

From: Ian Jackson <ian.jackson at citrix.com>

When xen-dir cannot find xen-utils, mention that this might be because
xen-utils-<RUNNING-XEN-VERSION> was already removed.

This is generally helpful, but it does not solve the `missing
xenconsoled' problems because 1. it only changes messages and
2. actually in the init script, the error message is currently
discarded anyway (!)

But, anyway, it is an improvemennt.

This script should not complain at all if we are not running under
Xen.  Check this right at the start.

This will enable improvements to the following code, which will no
longer have to deal with the `not running under Xen' case.

See the big comment.  We think that this is responsible for various
bugs and, particularly, reports of mysteriously missing xenconsoled.

For example, this bug would mean that after a Xen version upgrade,
autoremoval of an obsolete xen-utils-V package would stop the running
xenconsoled.  This is obviously awkward to track down, and could occur
many weeks or months after the upgrade.

Closes: #851654

From: Ian Jackson <ian.jackson at citrix.com>

We no longer want to discard the stderr from xen-dir, and treat this
as a success.  All the reasons why this failure might previously have
been thought tolerable have been dealt with.

Specifically, we will no longer reach this code if we are not running
under Xen, or if we ran this init script on behalf of a xen-utils-V
package for some V different to the running Xen version.

We know we are running under Xen, and that either we're running not as
a result of a maint script, or as a result of a xen-utils-V maint
script for the running Xen version, or as a result of some other maint
script (of which we don't think there are any, but it presumably
expects this code to work).

So if xen-dir fails, let it print its error message, and also exit
nonzero.  And don't mention not running under Xen in our
log_warning_msg.

     ocaml-native-compilers is good on stretch because it
     will get us better output code.  In buster the
     ocaml-native-compilers package is merged into ocaml-nox.
     In bullseye we can drop ocaml-native-compilers from the list.

 * Drop the rules line that disables the ocaml build.

 * Ship /etc/xen/oxenstored.conf.

 * Placate dh_missing about ocaml development libraries.

Strip all options that are for stuff we don't ship, which is 1)
xenstored as stubdom and 2) xenbackendd, which seems to be dead code
anyway. [1]

It seems useful to give the user the option to revert to xenstored
instead of the default oxenstored if they really want.

In order to configure this, XENSTORED in here needs to contain the name
without a path, which is different than how the upstream file suggests
to use it.

However, we don't want to put a version-specific path in here (the user
keeps the config file on upgrades if it's changed, and then will end up
with a path to a non-existing binary). Also, alternatively,
/usr/sbin/oxenstored and /usr/sbin/xenstored could be used, but those
are symlinks to xen-utils-wrapper and not the actual binary, and I think
the test using start-stop-daemon to see if it's already running would
fail to detect it's the same as e.g. /usr/lib/xen-4.11/bin/oxenstored.
At least, it all sounds very fragile. :|

By adding oxenstored, this just got a whole lot more complex.

In the Xen 4.11 packages and newer, we're shipping oxenstored. This init
script can still be used while the current running Xen version is e.g.
4.8.

We give the user the option to define which xenstored they want to run
(in /etc/default/xen). The C one or the ocaml one.

Whenever any xenstored is running, we don't touch it, because all state
about domains is only kept in memory in the process.

Combining all of the possiblities and limitations...

* If there's anything known running, just let it be.
* If the user has a specific (o)xenstored set as preference, try
starting that, but horribly explode if that's not possible.
* Otherwise, prefer oxenstored if available, and otherwise start normal
C xenstored.

Hint: debugging this on a dom0 can be done by adding set -x and running
it with SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_REDIRECT=YOLO /etc/init.d/xen <action> so that
systemd does not hijack it and hide all output.

2.20.1

This little xen-init-dom0 program is present in both our 4.8 and 4.11
packages, so there's no need to keep the if else code. Also, it only
makes sense to run it after starting xenstored, and not all other times
start is called.

xen-init-dom0 is a C program that by the way does exactly those two
writes into xenstore.

2.20.1

While requesting removal of xm command line completion in the Debian
bash-completion package, I ran into a bts about completion for xl:

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=768005

I like the proposed improved version that Adi Kriegisch provides in
there. It makes sure  we're back on the same advanced level of
completion as in the past, with xm.

This change should be sent upstream asap, so that we can drop this patch
again. However don't wait for that to happen and ship it already.

Closes: #768005

We have the `xen` alias for xl in Debian, since in the past it was a
command that could execute either xl or xm.

Now, it always does xl, so, complete the same stuff for it as we have
for xl.

don't have .sh. This is just cosmetics, but it annoys me. And we have

Ok, I finally tried this, and it's really great that I now have correct
(different) linux kernel options generated for just linux and xen+dom0.

Do more cosmetics and reorganizing to make this wall of comments better
parseable by the eye. It was not obvious to me where sections started
and ended, and I like to have first the explanation and then at the end
the actual variables you can set.

This apparently does not do the job completely. I'm testing things and
what I see is that:

1. xl command does give completion
2. xen command does not, until I trigger it one time for xl, and then
afterwards it does.

What I see in some other files is that the complete line at the end has
both commands, like xl xen above, but there's a symlink for the second
command back to the same script:

-# ll /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/yp*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   7 Dec 22 01:34
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ypcat -> ypmatch
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 768 Dec 22 01:34
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ypmatch

Is this the right way to solve this problem?

Thanks.  This LGTM (for the Debian package).

We might want this if we ship the driver domains init script too.

IMO it would be better to do this only if XENSTORED does not start
with /.  So maybe

   case "$XENSTORED" in
   /*) USER_XENSTORED="$XENSTORED" ;;
   ?*) USER_XENSTORED="$ROOT"/bin/$XENSTORED ;;
   '') USER_XENSTORED="" ;;

This exit status handling is confusing.  AFAICT from the manpage for
start-stop-daemon, exit status 1 means "--oknodo was not specified and
nothing was done".  So I think that would occur when --start does
nothing because the daemon is already running.  It might be worth
adding a comment.

I really don't like the way all of this is open-coded.  There are two
almost-identical runes here.  How about this:

   case "$XENSTORED" in
   /*) USER_XENSTORED="$XENSTORED"           ;
try_xenstoreds=USER_XENSTORED ;;
   ?*) USER_XENSTORED="$ROOT"/bin/$XENSTORED ;
try_xenstoreds=USER_XENSTORED ;;
   '') USER_XENSTORED="" ; try_xenstoreds='OXENSTORED
CXENSTORED' ;;
   esac

and then

  for try_xenstored_var in $try_xenstoreds; do
    eval "try_xenstored=\$$try_xenstored_var"
    ...

Thanks,
Ian.

I think xen-init-dom0 is not in jessie and although skip-upgrades are
not "supported" I don't see a reason to gratuitously break them.
Would you mind if we deferred removing this compat code until after
buster ?

It would have been less confusing to me if you had separated out the
change to remove the open-coded fallback, from the change to when this
is called.

Also the latter change seems right and here I am complaining about
the former...

Thanks,
Ian.

I have no opinion about this.  I don't use or understand
bash-completion.  I find that the various completion rules which are
provided by vaous packages are too unreliable and annoying.  So I
don't midn if you do this :-).

Do send the patch upstream after we haqve released 4.12.

Thanks,
Ian.
