Currently diskimage-builder supports two ways to specify the image
size. One is defining a fixed image size using DIB_IMAGE_SIZE, the
other one is auto-detection while adding a security margin of 60% as
free space. This means when building larger images (e.g. >100GB) with
unknown size upfront we end up with much wasted space, IO and network
traffic when uploading the images to several cloud providers. This can
be optimized by adding a third way by defining DIB_IMAGE_EXTRA_SIZE to
specify the free space in GB. This makes it possible to easily build
images of varying sizes while still minimizing the overhead by keeping
the free space constant to e.g. 1GB.

In many cases, the statically sized 64MB journal is far below the
e2fstools default calculation[0] which calls for a 64MB journal only
on filesystems smaller than 16GB. On bare metal in particular, the
correct default journal size will often be in the 512MB-1GB range.
Since we cannot know what the target system is, this should be a
tunable parameter that the user can set depending on the intended
image usage.
Add a DIB_JOURNAL_SIZE envvar and --mkfs-journal-size parameter
to the image creation so users can override the default journal
size.

The path $TMP_BUILD_DIR/mnt becomes the / inside the chroot during
the chroot phases of diskimage-builder. Previously this path was being
created using the account running diskimage-builder. This account may
not be valid inside the chroot. This causes path validation, when running
on a Ubuntu bionic host, to fail.
This patch chown's the $TMP_BUILD_DIR/mnt to root.root to make sure
that / is owned by a valid account inside the chroot.

I'm not really sure why I originally had --logfile also log to stdout
in I202e1cb200bde17f6d7770cf1e2710bbf4cca64c, but it seem
counter-intuitive (indeed, I just tripped myself up thinking that in a
devstack job "--logfile" would put the logs into a separate file and
avoid the stdout logging, and I wrote it!).
Make it so specifying a --logfile puts dib into quiet mode for stdout.
Explicitly overriding DIB_QUIET will allow both if someone wants that.

While trying to get docker image pre-caching to work we couldn't get a
docker daeomon to run within the chrooted environment. However we got
docker running with the help of bwrap outside of the chrooted
environment. The only option so far for this is the block-device.d
phase. But this has the problem that it runs after the image size has
been calculated. This leads to broken builds if the docker images
being pulled are big.
This can be solved by adding a post-root.d phase that runs outside the
chroot but before the image size calculation.

In exploring Gentoo caching, it was realised that we have no way to
bind mount the cache into the finalised image for the finalise.d

By adding a pre-finalise.d phase that runs outside the chroot, we can
mount outside things into the hierarchy at $TMP_BUILD_DIR/mnt which
are then seen by the in-chroot finalise.d phase.
This is similar to the pre-install phase

Redirecting our output through outfilter.py is inherently a bit racy,
since the disk-image-create process will exit, and then you might get
outfilter.py flushing any remaining output as it closes.
On an interactive prompt this might lead to final output overwriting
the prompt, etc. This can be a bit confusing when you start running
things in a loop.
If we save the original fd, then on the exit path close the redirected
fd's and wait a little bit for final output (as a result of the
close), we get a more consistent output.

systemd-resolved has a new behaviour in bionic, in that if there is no
/etc/resolv.conf file when it installs, it assumes it is a fresh
system and makes /etc/resolf.conf a symlink into its compatability
files.
dib ends up saving & restoring whatever /etc/resolv.conf we have after
the inital chroot creation, which may not be what we want -- in the
above case it restores the system-resolved symlink. For
openstack-infra, we use unbound and want simply "127.0.0.1" in a
/etc/resolv.conf file [1].
Formalise the ability to save specific contents into the final image.
Add documentation, and a note in the code that it's an external
interface.
I would have preferred to namespace the .ORIG file with DIB_ or
similar, but this unofficial interface has already escaped into the
wild. Leave it as is for simplicity.

expect, if file exists.

Commit cebfcf85f9 ("Use -t devpts for
/dev/pts mounts") switched from using '--bind' to '-t devpts' for
mounting the /dev/pts virtual filesystem. However, mounting devpts to
another location also affects the host's /dev/pts mountpoint. Since we
are now mounting devpts without options we end up with the following one
on openSUSE
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,mode=600,ptmxmode=000)
instead of the one we want
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000)
The missing gid=5 options results to boot problems for virtual machines
So in order to fix that, we need to use the existing devpts options for
/dev/pts so we don't lose them in the new mount.

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

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.

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...)

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.

It seems that the redhat nodepool job is quite reliably geting a

red-herring, since the logs are full of

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
