Currently we only export "image-block-device" which is the loopback
device (/dev/loopX) for the underlying image. This is the device we
install grub to (from inside the chroot ...)
This is ok for x86, but is insufficient for some platforms like PPC
which have a separate boot partition. They do not want to install to
the loop device, but do things like dd special ELF files into special
boot partitions.
The first problem seems to be that in level1/partitioning.py we have a
whole bunch of different paths that either call partprobe on the loop
device, or kpartx. We have _all_part_devices_exist() that gates the
kpartx for unknown reasons. We have detach_loopback() that does not
seem to remove losetup created devices. I don't think this does
cleanup if it uses kpartx correctly. It is extremley unclear what's
going to be mapped where.
This moves to us *only* using kpartx to map the partitions of the loop
device. We will *not* call partprobe and create the /dev/loopXpN
devices and will only have the devicemapper nodes kpartx creates.
This seems to be best. Cleanup happens inside partitioning.py.
practice. Deeper thinking about this, and more cleanup of the
variables will be welcome.
This adds "image-block-devices" (note the extra "s") which exports all
the block devices with name and path. This is in a string format that
can be eval'd to an array (you can't export arrays).
This is then used in a follow-on
(I0918e8df8797d6dbabf7af618989ab7f79ee9580) to pick the right
partition on PPC.

Instead, either use the bash built-in of type to ensure it exists. Since
which is an external dep, things can fail oddly in a constrained
environment.
Also add a dib-lint test for this.

With new block device definition, where content of the image
can be mounted on different partitions, is not enough with
executing setfiles on root directory. Instead of that, expose
all the mountpoints on the image, and apply setfiles on them.

This patch finalizes the block device refactoring. It moves the three
remaining levels (filesystem creation, mount and fstab handling) into
the new python module.
Now it is possible to use any number of disk images, any number of
partitions and used them mounted to different directories.
Notes:
* unmount_dir : modified to only unmount the subdirs mounted by
mount_proc_sys_dev(). dib-block-device unmounts

Closes-Bug: #1664924
Move argument parsing to subparsers, rather than positional arguments.
This better reflects the tool's role as a driver and allows
sub-commands to deal with arguments in a natural way.

It seems that the redhat nodepool job is quite reliably geting a
"floating point" error during centos image build. This happens after
03-yum-cleanup which is pruning the locales. This might be a
red-herring, since the logs are full of
/bin/bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (C.UTF-8)
I think in our recent de-puppetisation of hosts, something might have
changed that is setting LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 for the jenkins user, at least
on Ubuntu. This is a problem for centos, as it doesn't have C.UTF-8
locale. I then think using the invalid locale is what leads the the
floating-point error when doing some maths in dib-run-parts to
calculate runtimes.
We are currently overriding LANG, but we really want LC_ALL to ensure
this applies globally.

Add a new getval call that allows to retrieve values
from the block device. Also isolating the block device
information into a 'blockdev' dictionary entry, to better
return it with the getval command.
This is a refactor from the original code at

The original approach was to pass each and every command
line parameter to the block device. While the block device
functionality gets extended, this is not any longer practical.
Instead of passing in all the parameters separately this patch
collects these in a YAML file that is passed in to the block device
layer.

This change move "do_extra_package_install" from pre-install to install
phase.
Extra packages are added by user request using the flag "-p", This
package should not be something the elements depend on.
The reason behind this patch is to move the extra package install to
a proper phase, Also more reasonable if base element run package update
to be before we install extra packages.

DIB_PYTHON_EXEC was added in I5fab0e192c3a2dad8f60e821c184479e24e33bcd
to export the python that disk-image-create is running under. If dib
is installed with python3 then just calls "python" (python2) to run
sub-scripts, it fails to find itself.
This has been tested in devstack gates that use py3x

Now that the main partitioning refactor patch is merged, there is
a small relict of handling partitions still in the disk-image-create
main.
This patch moves the functionality from disk-image-create to the
block-device/partitioning module: it is mostly a rewrite of the
original bash code in python.

During the creation of a disk image (e.g. for a VM), there is the need
to create, setup, configure and afterwards detach some kind of storage
where the newly installed OS can be copied to or directly installed
in.
This patch implements partitioning handling.

We do not have the concept of "not installed" in v2, so remove the
obsolete code looking for a now non-existent variable.
Also, log the version at startup. This can help when
debugging from logs

Remove the x bit from lib/disk-image-create; because it's called
directly by the entry-point, it doesn't need to be exectuable.
This should also be clearer that you're not supposed to run it
by hand.
Remove some boilerplate from old file

It has always been a weird thing that dib is a python package, but
is totally driven by the disk-image-create script. It creates this
strange division that is hard to explain.
This moves disk-image-create to a regular python entry-point
Currently, this simply exec()s the original disk-image-create script.
However, we now have a (private) interface between disk-image-create
written in python and the driver shell script. Here's some things we
could do, for example:
* Argument parsing is generally nicer in Python, and then end result
is mostly just setting environment variables to flag different things
in the shell script. I could see us moving the argument-parsing into
diskimage_builder.disk_image_create:main() and just setting things in
os.environ before the exec()).
* I7092e1845942f249175933d67ab121188f3511fd sets IMAGE_ELEMENT_YAML in
disk-image-create by calling-back to element-info. We can just call
element_dependencies.find_all_elements() in here an export is to
os.environ before disk-image-create starts.
* remove need for ramdisk-image-create symlink by just exporting
IS_RAMDISK based on sys.argv[1] value
* you could even unit test some of this :)
