fa6c731132 Move fstrim to block device layer
The call to fstrim in disk-image-create is currently useless, because
at the time this is called, the file systems were already umounted by
the block device layer.

The current implementation of the block-device mount plugin does not
call fstrim at all: resulting in larger image sizes.

This patch removes the useless fstrim call from the disk-image-create
script and moves this into the block-device mount.py.

The resulting image might be much smaller.  Example: Ubuntu Xenial
with some elements; once with and once without this patch:

-rw-r--r-- 1 dib dib 475661824 Sep 16 06:43 ubuntu-xenial-without-fstrim.qcow2
-rw-r--r-- 1 dib dib 364249088 Sep 16 09:30 ubuntu-xenial-with-fstrim.qcow2

because it was too short. Increasing to 10, to give time to

5fa6e3e13c Add symlink test for resolv.conf restore
We replace the base resolv.conf with an "outside" copy so that
resolving works when we're in the chroot.

Installing resolvconf package modifies the in-chroot resolv.conf to a
symlink (to /var/run) which it wants maintained in the final image.
We have the existing "immutable" check for a created resolv.conf file,
but no eqivalent for a symlink.

This adds a check to see if the resolv.conf is a symlink and leave it
alone if it is, assuming it has been re-created in the chroot.

I have tested this with ubuntu-minimal+resolvconf with
dhcp-all-interfaces and the system seems to work with resolvconf
working correctly.

f60dd38482 Add timestamp output filter
This adds a devstack-inspired output filter to standardise
timestamping.

Currently, python tools timestamp always (timestamp setup in
logging_config.py) but all the surrounding bash does not.

We have extra timestamps added in run_functests.sh for our own
purposes to get the bash timestamps; but this ends up giving us
double-timestamps for the python bits.  Additionally, callers such as
nodepool capture our output and put their own timestamps on it, and
again have the double-timestamps.

This uses a lightly modified outfilter.py from devstack to standardise
this.

All output is run through this filter, which will timestamp it.  I
have removed the places where we double-timestamp -- logging_config.py
and the prefix in dib-run-parts.

An env option is added to turn timestamps off completely (does not
seem worth taking up a command-line option for).  For callers like
nodepool, they can set this and will just have their own timestamps as
they collect the lines.

Since all logging is going through outfilter, it's easy to add a
--logfile option.  I think this will be quite handy; personally I'm
always redirecting dib runs to files for debugging.

I've also added a "quiet" option.  I think this could be useful in
run_tests.sh if we were to start logging the output of each test to
individual files.  This would be much easier to deal with than the
very large log files we get (especially if we wanted to turn on
parallel running...)

6c394f5746 Pass all blockdevices to bootloader
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.

e4e23897a1 Refactor: block-device filesystem creation, mount and fstab
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
   $TMP_MOUNT_PATH/mnt (see I85e01f3898d3c043071de5fad82307cb091a64a9)

91ba21dd6c Set LC_ALL in disk-image-create
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.

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.

The reason behind this patch is to move the extra package install to

to be before we install extra packages.

6802cf7100 Run dib-run-parts out of /tmp
The dib-run-parts element was copying our internal version of
dib-run-parts into /usr/local/bin to be used running scripts inside
the target chroot.  However, it never cleaned up after itself.  This
means all images were left with an unmanaged local install of
dib-run-parts.

This copies dib-run-parts into the hooks directory of the chroot and
runs it from there.  It is cleaned up automatically on the exit path.

The dib-run-parts element is no longer required and it has been
removed from all dependencies.  It is left with a deprecation notice
in the README.  For compatability we convert it to simply install
dib-utils.

Codesearch shows no users depending on this unintentional implicit
install.  Note os-refresh-config depends on dib-utils and thus will
have an explicitly installed version.

fd424757a6 Don't provide dib-run-parts
It was an oversight during v2 development for dib to start providing
dib-run-parts.  The intention was for dib to use a vendored
dib-run-parts directly from $_LIB and have no dependencies on
dib-utils at all.  By exporting dib-run-parts, we created an
unintentional conflict with the dib-utils package which provides the
same script.

Tools that depend on dib-utils are unaffected by this
(os-refresh-config).

The only tool that installs diskimage-builder and then assumes
dib-run-parts is available in the path is instack.  I have proposed
Ibfe972208df40fa092b11b5419043524c903f1b4 to modify that to use our
internal version.

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

3c6e589226 Remove execute perm from disk-image-create
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

d65678678e Move dib-run-parts into diskimage-builder
Move dib-run-parts from dib-utils into diskimage-builder directly.

For calling outside the chroot, we provide a standard entry-point
script.  However, as noted in the warning comment, the underlying
script is still copied directly into the chroot by the dib-run-parts
element.  I believe this to be the KISS approach.

This removes the dependency on dib-utils.  We have discussed this
previously and nobody seemed to think retiring dib-utils was going to
be an issue.

This also updates the documentation to not mention dib-utils, or using
disk-image-create via $PATH setup, but rather gives instructions on
installing from pip with a virtualenv.

7446c32197 Move diskimage-image-create to an entry point
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 :)

97c01e48ed Move elements & lib relative to diskimage_builder package
Currently we have all our elements and library files in a top-level
directory and install them into
<root>/share/diskimage-builder/[elements|lib] (where root is either /
or the root of a virtualenv).

The problem with this is that editable/development installs (pip -e)
do *not* install data_files.  Thus we have no canonical location to
look for elements -- leading to the various odd things we do such as a
whole bunch of guessing at the top of disk-image-create and having a
special test-loader in tests/test_elements.py so we can run python
unit tests on those elements that have it.

data_files is really the wrong thing to use for what are essentially
assets of the program.  data_files install works well for things like
config-files, init.d files or dropping documentation files.

By moving the elements under the diskimage_builder package, we always
know where they are relative to where we import from.  In fact,
pkg_resources has an api for this which we wrap in the new
diskimage_builder/paths.py helper [1].

We use this helper to find the correct path in the couple of places we
need to find the base-elements dir, and for the paths to import the
library shell functions.

Elements such as svc-map and pkg-map include python unit-tests, which
we do not need tests/test_elements.py to special-case load any more.
They just get found automatically by the normal subunit loader.

I have a follow-on change (I69ca3d26fede0506a6353c077c69f735c8d84d28)
to move disk-image-create to a regular python entry-point.

Unfortunately, this has to move to work with setuptools.  You'd think
a symlink under diskimage_builder/[elements|lib] would work, but it
doesn't.

[1] this API handles stuff like getting files out of .zip archive
modules, which we don't do.  Essentially for us it's returning
__file__.
