This option allows to specifiy command for compress built initramfs image
for ironic-agent element. This command can be specified with arguments and
should read raw data from stdin and write compressed data to stdout.
Default if "gzip".

It's possible this is run form an environment where $USER isn't set,
properly fallback to whoami in this case.

While we already clean a number of things off the ironic-agent
ramdisk, there are a few more significant ones that we should add
to the list.
First is the kernel source. If you're rebuilding your kernel on
the agent ramdisk after the initial image build, then you need to
re-examine your life choices. ;-)
Second is /var/cache. On yum-based distros, this contains a large
number of yum cache files that take up significant space. We don't
really want to be copying around caches when booting a ramdisk
anyway, so cleaning this is the right thing to do regardless.
Third is all *.pyc or *.pyo files. There are a lot of these, so
they eat up significant space and bloat the number of files in the
ramdisk, which makes it take longer to build. the only purpose for
the files is to slightly speed up Python app startup, and we
probably lose more time transferring the files over the network
than we would gain in quicker start times. Note that we were
already trying to remove these, but for some reason I was still
seeing them show up in my final images. It makes more sense to
put them in the same pruning command as all the others anyway.
Fourth is /usr/include. These are files only needed for
compilation. See above for my thoughts on compiling in a ramdisk.
These changes have reduced the agent ramdisk from 391 MB to 333 MB
in my local centos 7 builds, and have reduced the number of files
in the ramdisk by over 18000.

The initramfs file created by the ironic-agent element is
owned by the user running disk-image-create; ensure that
the other files created by the element are also owned by
the user.

As motivation for this; we have had two breakouts of dib in recent
memory. One was a failure to unmount through symlinks in the core
code (I335316019ef948758392b03e91f9869102a472b9) and the other was
removing host keys on the build-system
(Ib01d71ff9415a0ae04d963f6e380aab9ac2260ce).
For the most part, dib runs unprivileged. Bits of the core code are
hopefully well tested (modulo bugs like the first one!). We give free
reign inside the chroot (although there is still some potential there
for adverse external affects via bind mounts). Where we could be a
bit safer (and could have prevented at least the second of these
breakouts) is with some better checking that the "sudo" calls
*outside* the chroot at least looked sane.
This adds a basic check that we're using chroot or image paths when
calling sudo in those parts of elements that run *outside* the chroot.
Various files are updated to accomodate this check; mostly by just
ignoring it for existing code (I have not audited these calls).
Nobody is pretending this type of checking makes dib magically safe,
or removes the issues with it needing to do things as root during the
build. But this can help find egregious errors like the key removal.

Previously all files in /root were ignored when building the
ironic-agent ramdisk. This prevented for example to use the
local-config element to connect to the ramdisk via ssh as root user.
This commit change the exclude rule on /root to only ignore the
/root/.cache directory.

Find doesn't like listings disappearing while its trying to find them,
in this case if a PID directory disappears while find is running. Using
-xdev prevents find from going into ./proc and as a side effect /dev
will also be avoided which is mounted on boot so not needed either.

Otherwise on rebuilding the agent the following error is produced:
failed to create hard link /home/stack/ironic-agent.vmlinuz
and the vmlinuz file is not updated.
Change-Id: I2015da889c932a854727235b1e34256a28e9eac6
When a ubuntu/IPA ramdisk is used to boot a baremetal machine with
ironic agent-ilo driver, it fails at the point of mounting /proc
and /sys. After the vmlinuz(kernel) is started and it tries to
load the partitions on ramdisk. It need the directory of "/sys"
and "/proc" to mount the corresponding filesystems.
In order to fix this issue, the directories of "sys" and "proc"
are retained but the subdirectories or files under them are empty.
With this change, the directories of "/sys" and "/proc" shows
up in the ramdisk and kernel will mount sys and proc filesystems
on them respectively.

The ironic-agent element is created using the disk-image-create utility
(even being a ramdisk) and outputs a .vmlinuz file for the kernel
(different than the ramdisk-image-create which outputs a .kernel file
for the kernel). This is inconsistent and make scripting against the
diskimage-builder more complicated if one wants to support different
types of ramdisk.
This patch creates a hard link for the .vmlinuz file to a .kernel file
at the end of the process (to keep backward compatibility) and print a
deprecation message.

This patch is reducing the size of the ramdisk image generated by the
ironic-agent element. It does remove extra packages (graphical stuff,
dev stuff, miscs, docs, etc...) and purges directories that are not
needed for a ramdisk (like /boot since it boots using an external
kernel)
Currently it was tested generating a Fedora 22 image and reduced the
size of the final image from 464 MB to 211MB compacted (54% decrease).
I was able to boot a VM with 1.3 GiB of ram instead of the previous 3 GiB
needed.

/tmp does not contain anything useful anyway, and excluding its content
makes the initramfs smaller too.

There is a wide variety of tracing options through the various shell
scripts. Some use "set -eux", others explicity set xtrace and others
do nothing. There is a "-x" option to bin/disk-image-create but it
doesn't flow down to the many scripts it calls.
This adds a global integer variable set by disk-image-create
DIB_DEBUG_TRACE. All scripts have a stanza added to detect this and
turn on tracing. Any other tracing methods are rolled into this. So
the standard header is
---
if [ "${DIB_DEBUG_TRACE:-0}" -gt 0 ]; then
set -x
fi
set -eu
set -o pipefail
---
Multiple -x options can be specified to dib-create-image, which
increases the value of DIB_DEBUG_TRACE. If script authors feel their
script should only trace at higher levels, they should modify the
"-gt" value. If they feel it should trace by default, they can modify
the default value also.
Changes to pachset 16 : scripts which currently trace themselves by
default have retained this behaviour with DIB_DEBUG_TRACE defaulting
to "1". This was done by running [1] on patch set 15. See the thread
beginning at [2]
dib-lint is also updated to look for the variable being matched.
