2016-12-07 | nspawn/dissect: automatically discover dm-verity verity partitions | Lennart Poettering | |
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. | |||
2016-12-07 | util-lib: split out image dissecting code and loopback code from nspawn | Lennart Poettering | |
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. |
