In Linux 4.19 there has been a major rework of the overlayfs
implementation and it now opens files in lowerdir with O_NOATIME, which
in turn caused issues in our VM tests because the process owner of QEMU
doesn't match the file owner of the lowerdir.
The crux here is that 9p propagates the O_NOATIME flag to the host and
the guest kernel has no way of verifying whether that flag will lead to
any problems beforehand.
There is ongoing work to possibly fix this in the kernel, but it will
take a while until there is a working patch and consensus.
So in order to bring our default kernel back to 4.19 and of course make
it possible to run newer kernels in VM tests, I'm merging a small QEMU
patch as an interim solution, which we can drop once we have a working
fix in the next round of stable kernels.
Now we already had Linux 4.19 set as the default kernel, but that was
subsequently reverted in 048c36ccaa
because the patch we have used was the revert of the commit I bisected a
while ago.
This patch broke overlayfs in other ways, so I'm also merging in a VM
test by @bachp, which only tests whether overlayfs is working, just to
be on the safe side that something like this won't happen in the future.
Even though this change could be considered a moderate mass-rebuild at
least for GNU/Linux, I'm merging this to master, mainly to give us some
time to get it into the current 19.03 release branch (and subsequent
testing window) once we got no new breaking builds from Hydra.

After working on the last wireguard bump (#57534), we figured that it's
probably a good idea to have a basic test which confirms that a simple
VPN with wireguard still works.
This test starts two peers with a `wg0` network interface and adds a v4
and a v6 route that goes through `wg0`.
From @edolstra at [1]:
BTW we probably should take the closure of the whole unit rather than
just the exec commands, to handle things like Environment variables.
With this commit, there is now a "fullUnit" option, which can be enabled
to include the full closure of the service unit into the chroot.
However, I did not enable this by default, because I do disagree here
and *especially* things like environment variables or environment files
shouldn't be in the closure of the chroot.
For example if you have something like:
{ pkgs, ... }:
{
systemd.services.foobar = {
serviceConfig.EnvironmentFile = ${pkgs.writeText "secrets" ''
user=admin
password=abcdefg
'';
};
}
We really do not want the *file* to end up in the chroot, but rather
just the environment variables to be exported.
Another thing is that this makes it less predictable what actually will
end up in the chroot, because we have a "globalEnvironment" option that
will get merged in as well, so users adding stuff to that option will
also make it available in confined units.
I also added a big fat warning about that in the description of the
fullUnit option.

Another thing requested by @edolstra in [1]:
We should not provide a different /bin/sh in the chroot, that's just
asking for confusion and random shell script breakage. It should be
the same shell (i.e. bash) as in a regular environment.
While I personally would even go as far to even have a very restricted
shell that is not even a shell and basically *only* allows "/bin/sh -c"
with only *very* minimal parsing of shell syntax, I do agree that people
expect /bin/sh to be bash (or the one configured by environment.binsh)
on NixOS.
So this should make both others and me happy in that I could just use
confinement.binSh = "${pkgs.dash}/bin/dash" for the services I confine.

Quoting @edolstra from [1]:
I don't really like the name "chroot", something like "confine[ment]"
or "restrict" seems better. Conceptually we're not providing a
completely different filesystem tree but a restricted view of the same
tree.
I already used "confinement" as a sub-option and I do agree that
"chroot" sounds a bit too specific (especially because not *only* chroot
is involved).
So this changes the module name and its option to use "confinement"
instead of "chroot" and also renames the "chroot.confinement" to
"confinement.mode".

Currently, if you want to properly chroot a systemd service, you could
do it using BindReadOnlyPaths=/nix/store (which is not what I'd call
"properly", because the whole store is still accessible) or use a
separate derivation that gathers the runtime closure of the service you
want to chroot. The former is the easier method and there is also a
method directly offered by systemd, called ProtectSystem, which still
leaves the whole store accessible. The latter however is a bit more
involved, because you need to bind-mount each store path of the runtime
closure of the service you want to chroot.
This can be achieved using pkgs.closureInfo and a small derivation that
packs everything into a systemd unit, which later can be added to
systemd.packages. That's also what I did several times[1][2] in the
past.
However, this process got a bit tedious, so I decided that it would be
generally useful for NixOS, so this very implementation was born.
Now if you want to chroot a systemd service, all you need to do is:
{
systemd.services.yourservice = {
description = "My Shiny Service";
wantedBy = [ "multi-user.target" ];
chroot.enable = true;
serviceConfig.ExecStart = "${pkgs.myservice}/bin/myservice";
};
}
If more than the dependencies for the ExecStart* and ExecStop* (which
btw. also includes "script" and {pre,post}Start) need to be in the
chroot, it can be specified using the chroot.packages option. By
default (which uses the "full-apivfs"[3] confinement mode), a user
namespace is set up as well and /proc, /sys and /dev are mounted
appropriately.
In addition - and by default - a /bin/sh executable is provided as well,
which is useful for most programs that use the system() C library call
to execute commands via shell. The shell providing /bin/sh is dash
instead of the default in NixOS (which is bash), because it's way more
lightweight and after all we're chrooting because we want to lower the
attack surface and it should be only used for "/bin/sh -c something".
Prior to submitting this here, I did a first implementation of this
outside[4] of nixpkgs, which duplicated the "pathSafeName" functionality
from systemd-lib.nix, just because it's only a single line.
However, I decided to just re-use the one from systemd here and
subsequently made it available when importing systemd-lib.nix, so that
the systemd-chroot implementation also benefits from fixes to that
functionality (which is now a proper function).
Unfortunately, we do have a few limitations as well. The first being
that DynamicUser doesn't work in conjunction with tmpfs, because it
already sets up a tmpfs in a different path and simply ignores the one
we define. We could probably solve this by detecting it and try to
bind-mount our paths to that different path whenever DynamicUser is
enabled.
The second limitation/issue is that RootDirectoryStartOnly doesn't work
right now, because it only affects the RootDirectory option and not the
individual bind mounts or our tmpfs. It would be helpful if systemd
would have a way to disable specific bind mounts as well or at least
have some way to ignore failures for the bind mounts/tmpfs setup.
Another quirk we do have right now is that systemd tries to create a
/usr directory within the chroot, which subsequently fails. Fortunately,
this is just an ugly error and not a hard failure.

[3]: The reason this is called "full-apivfs" instead of just "full" is
to make room for a *real* "full" confinement mode, which is more
restrictive even.

by adding targets and curl wait loops to services to ensure services
are not started before their depended services are reachable.
Extra targets cfssl-online.target and kube-apiserver-online.target
syncronize starts across machines and node-online.target ensures
docker is restarted and ready to deploy containers on after flannel
has discussed the network cidr with apiserver.
Since flannel needs to be started before addon-manager to configure
the docker interface, it has to have its own rbac bootstrap service.
The curl wait loops within the other services exists to ensure that when
starting the service it is able to do its work immediately without
clobbering the log about failing conditions.
By ensuring kubernetes.target is only reached after starting the
cluster it can be used in the tests as a wait condition.
In kube-certmgr-bootstrap mkdir is needed for it to not fail to start.
The following is the relevant part of systemctl list-dependencies
default.target

to protect services from crashing and clobbering the logs when
certificates are not in place yet and make sure services are activated
when certificates are ready.
To prevent errors similar to "kube-controller-manager.path: Failed to
enter waiting state: Too many open files"
fs.inotify.max_user_instances has to be increased.
+ isolate etcd on the master node by letting it listen only on loopback
+ enabling kubelet on master and taint master with NoSchedule
The reason for the latter is that flannel requires all nodes to be "registered"
in the cluster in order to setup the cluster network. This means that the
kubelet is needed even at nodes on which we don't plan to schedule anything.
- All kubernetes components have been seperated into different files
- All TLS-enabled ports have been deprecated and disabled by default
- EasyCert option added to support automatic cluster PKI-bootstrap
- RBAC has been enforced for all cluster components by default
- NixOS kubernetes test cases make use of easyCerts to setup PKI
The `| tee` invocation always masked the return value of the
switch-to-configuration test.

The added wrapper script will still output everything to stderr, while
passing failures to the test harness.
trace: warning: config.services.gitea.database.password will be stored as plaintext

(Arguably, this shouldn't be a warning at all. But making it happy is
easier than having a debate on the value of this warning.)

trace: warning: The option `services.rspamd.workers.”rspamd_proxy".type` defined in `<unknown-file>' has enum value `proxy` which has been renamed to `rspamd_proxy`
With this option it's possible to specify a custom expression for
`roundcube`, i.e. a roundcube environment with third-party plugins as
shown in the testcase.

Hydra should support multiple Nix versions (and currently contains fixes

This is just a set of globs to remove from the active plugins directory
after autoconfiguration is complete.
I also removed the hard-coded disabling of "diskstats", since it seems
to work just fine now.
This allows the VM to provide a `configuration.nix` file to the VM.
The test doesn't work in sandbox because it needs Internet (however it
works interactively).
The Openstack metadata service exposes the EC2 API. We use the
existing `ec2.nix` module to configure the hostname and ssh keys of an
Openstack Instance.
A test checks the ssh server is well configured.
This is mainly to reduce the size of the image (700MB). Also,
declarative features provided by cloud-init are not really useful
since we would prefer to use our `configuration.nix` file instead.
Don't add the testing "webcam" device,
which is unexpected to see when querying
what devices fwupd believes exist :).
Won't change behavior for anyone defining
the blacklistPlugin option already,
but doesn't seem worth making more complicated.

He prefers to contribute to his own nixpkgs fork triton.
Since he is still marked as maintainer in many packages
this leaves the wrong impression he still maintains those.
