We still have some issues with vhd creation on RAX
In short, it appears that images fail to resize unless they have a
specific "creator" field. Revert this while we consider the options.

The vhdutil utility is completely dead; the whole subsystem it relies
on was removed with [1] so it's not even vaguely possible to keep it
up-to-date.
I took the .raw images on a nb and used the qemu-img there (so Xenial)
and generated some VPC images; uploaded them to rackspace and the all
seemed to boot fine. If there was a problem, maybe it's been fixed on
either the qemu or RAX side in the previous few years.
Thus swith to qemu-img to generate the vhd images too.

As noted in the change, 7fd52ba841
increased the size of the EFI partition considerably. This has meant
that our padding upwards of the disk size is insufficient and EFI
builds (arm64 in particular) is failing due to out-of-disk errors
during final image operations like installing kernels.
Similar to the discussion we had in
I65fa13a088eecdfe61636678578577ea2cfb3c0c, this feels a bit ugly
because we're mixing logic here with sizes specified in block-device
config files. But it boils down to the same problem; we are
calculating the disk size here and passing it to the block-layer, so
unless we want to make large changes to the status quo about where
these sizes are calculated, small adjustments here are the most KISS
solution.
Thus we check if we have selected the EFI bootloader element, and thus
assume there will be a large system EFI partition and expand the disk
size accordingly.

Make a version-less RHEL element to handle both '7' and '8' DIB_RELEASE.
The element usage should align with other elements which operate in the
same way such as the Fedora element.
Additionally, this patch adds support for RHEL8 that operates with
Python 3.
As of now, users of diskimage-builder will still be able to use the
'rhel7' element, or migrate to 'rhel' and specify their respective
DIB_RELEASE value.
* mount the xfs file-system for extraction as read-only. vaguely
based on explaination in [1] and the fact we only read the image
data into a tar, so can ignore this.
XFS (dm-1): Superblock has unknown read-only compatible features (0x4) enabled.
* Use the redhat system python as the dib-python version. dib was
ahead of it's time making an abstracted python interpreter for
system work ;) the system python should work for running the various
dib element scripts.

I want to use the new --image-extra-size flag[1] but my use-case
calls for megabyte granularity of this value. Rather than adding
60% to an 800MB image, maybe I only want to add 100 or 200MB, etc.

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.

This is only one line, but it takes a lot to untangle ... basically
the current "correct" path is:
---
mk_build_dir()
-> sets trap trap_cleanup EXIT
... stuff ..
mount_proc_dev_sys
-> mounts $TMP_MOUNT_PATH/<proc,dev.sysfs>
pre-finalise.d
finalise.d
unmount_image $TMP_BUILD_DIR/mnt # nb == $TMP_MOUNT_PATH
-> unmount_dir()
-> recursive unmount everything inside TMP_MOUNT_PATH
TMP_IMAGE_PATH=$(dib-block-device getval image-path)
export TMP_IMAGE_PATH
dib-block-device umount
dib-block-device cleanup
... actually cleanup directories ...
---
Our current failure exit trap does:
---
dib-block-device umount
unmount_image
...
---
Note this is the *opposite* of what is done in the correct exit path.
In the failure case, if a script fails in the finalise stages it leads
to /proc, /sys, /dev etc. still being mounted inside the image; the
"dib-block-device umount" call doesn't know anything about these
mounts and tries to unmount the parent directory, and we get a hard
failure with a busy mount, and all the mounts are subsequently leaked.
Note that "unmount_dir", which is ultimately called by
"unmount_image", already knows to skip those mounts that
"dib-block-device umount" manages (this is the DIB_MOUNTPOINTS list).
This is further evidence it should be called *before* the
dib-block-device umount.

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.

It looks like we dropped running these probably when we moved the

add the __init__.py files to make the directories look like modules.

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
phases.
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

Some minor things after looking at these parts.
The dib-run-parts element doesn't do any of the copying any more, so

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.
[1] Note that systemd-resolved will obey /etc/resolv.conf as you would
expect, if file exists.

This moves the block-device default out of the "vm" element and into a
selection of other elements. There's "mbr" which retains the status
quo. There's an EFI version that has the boot/grub partitions as
required. In between there's the GPT only version, which is useful
for architectures like power without EFI, but still want possible
larger disks using GPT.

The current implementation - as introduced in

* the 'grep' check is too sloppy
* when /dev/pts is already mounted multiple times the current implementation
fails:

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.

Currently a bind is used when mounting /dev/pts in chroot.
This leads to problems - especially when running DIB in parallel:
It was observed that the /dev/pts mount vanishes from the host

This patch uses '-t devpts' - as it is done for /sys and /proc -
for handling /dev/pts.

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.
