libbe will never need to mutate these as we either process them into a local
buffer or we just don't touch them and write to a separate out argument.

bootonce feature is temporary, one time boot, activated by
"bectl activate -t BE", "bectl activate -T BE" will reset the bootonce flag.
By default, the bootonce setting is reset on attempt to boot and the next
boot will use previously active BE.
By setting zfs_bootonce_activate="YES" in rc.conf, the bootonce BE will
be set permanently active.
bootonce dataset name is recorded in boot pool labels, bootenv area.
in case of nextboot, the nextboot_enable boolean variable is recorded in
freebsd:nvstore nvlist, also stored in boot pool label bootenv area.
On boot, the loader will process /boot/nextboot.conf if nextboot_enable
is "YES", and will set nextboot_enable to "NO", preventing /boot/nextboot.conf
processing on next boot.
bootonce and nextboot features are usable in both UEFI and BIOS boot.
To use bootonce/nextboot features, the boot loader needs to be updated on disk;
if loader.efi is stored on ESP, then ESP needs to be updated and
for BIOS boot, stage2 (zfsboot or gptzfsboot) needs to be updated
(gpart or other tools).
At this time, only lua loader is updated.

I sent out an e-mail on 2020/01/21 with a plan to do this to Kyle, Rob, and
Wes; all parties have responded in the affirmative that it's OK to drop it
from these files.
When removing a boot environment iterate over the dependents and process the
snapshots by grabbing any clones. Promote the clones we found and then
remove the target environment.
This fixes the ability to destroy a boot environment when it has been used
to spawn one or more other boot environments.

New BEs can be created from either an existing snapshot or an existing BE.
If an existing BE is chosen (either implicitly via 'bectl create' or
explicitly via 'bectl create -e foo bar', for instance), then bectl will
create a snapshot of the current BE or "foo" with be_snapshot, with a name
formatted like: strftime("%F-%T") and a serial added to it.
This commit adds the needed bits for libbe or consumers to determine if a
snapshot names matches one of these auto-created snapshots (with some light
validation of the date/time/serial), and also a be_destroy flag to specify
that the origin should be automatically destroyed if possible.
A future commit to bectl will specify BE_DESTROY_AUTOORIGIN by default so we
clean up the origin in the most common case, non-user-managed snapshots.
libbe currently only provides an API to create a recursive boot environment,
without any formal support for intentionally limiting the depth. This
changeset adds an API, be_create_depth, that may be used to arbitrarily
restrict the depth of the new BE.

be_destroy is documented to recursively destroy a boot environment. In the
case of snapshots, one would take this to mean that these are also
recursively destroyed. However, this was previously not the case.
be_destroy would descend into the be_destroy callback and attempt to
zfs_iter_children on the top-level snapshot, which is bogus.
Our alternative approach is to take note of the snapshot name and iterate
through all of fs children of the BE to try destruction in the children.
The -o option is also fixed to work properly with deep BEs. If the BE was
created with `bectl create -e otherDeepBE newDeepBE`, for instance, then a
recursive snapshot of otherDeepBE would have been taken for construction of
newDeepBE but a subsequent destroy with BE_DESTROY_ORIGIN set would only
clean up the snapshot at the root of otherDeepBE: ${BEROOT}/otherDeepBE@...
The most recent iteration instead pretends not to know how these things
work, verifies that the origin is another BE and then passes that back
through be_destroy to DTRT when snapshots and deep BEs may be in play.

Currently origin snapshots are left behind when a BE is destroyed, whether
it was an auto-created snapshot or explicitly specified via, for example,
`bectl create -e be@mysnap ...`.
Removing it automatically could be argued as a POLA violation in some
circumstances, so provide a flag to be_destroy for it. An accompanying
option will be added to bectl(8) to utilize this.
Some minor style/consistency nits in the affected areas also addressed.

Add an undocumented -r option preceding the bectl subcommand to specify a BE
root to operate out of. This will remain undocumented for now, as some
caveats apply:
- BEs cannot be activated in the pool that doesn't contain the rootfs
- bectl create cannot work out of the box without the -e option right now,
since it defaults to the rootfs and cross-pool cloning doesn't work like
that (IIRC)
Plumb the BE root through to libbe(3) so that some things -can- be done to
it, e.g.
bectl -r tank/ROOT create -e default upgrade
bectl -r tank/ROOT mount upgrade /mnt
this aides in some upgrade setups where rootfs is not necessarily ZFS, and
also makes it easier/possible to regression-test bectl when combined with a
file-backed zpool.

Some paths through be_exists will set the error state, others will not
There are multiple reasons that a call can fail, so clean it up a bit: all
paths now return an appropriate error code so the caller can attempt to
distinguish between a BE legitimately not existing and just having the wrong
mountpoint. The caller is expected to bubble the error through to the
internal error handler as needed.
This fixes some unfriendliness with bectl(8)'s activate subcommand, where
it might fail due to a bad mountpoint but the only message output is a
generic "failed to activate" message.

The mostly-undocumented 'add' functionality, from initial read-through, is
intended for construction of deep ("bdrewery style") boot environments.
However, it's mostly broken at this point. `#if SOON` it out on both sides
so that we're not exposing a broken API/feature.
Work will resume on it in due time.
be_add_child functionality gets split out into separate places as a bonus.
A lot of places here we'll gloss over libzfs errors, because they shouldn't
be happening given the conditions that we're operating under. "Unknown
error" is what I'm intending to use for the moment to indicate an
exceptional circumstance- exceptional enough that we can't tell the consumer
did because we're not so certain that they did anything.
- File names don't necessarily need to be repeated
- Add SPDX tags
- Add a missing copyright for Kyle Kneitinger in bectl.8, originally written
by him in GSoC 2017; his standard copyright notice has been copied from
other files within the same directory to remain consistent with how he
clearly wished to portray it
be_get_dataset_snapshots has been added to libbe(3), effectively returning
the same information as be_get_bootenv_props but for snapshots of the given
dataset. The assumption is that one will have the BE dataset name before
wanting to grab snapshots.
This also accomplishes the following:
- Proxy through zfs_nicenum as be_nicenum, because it looks better than
humanize_number and would presumably be useful to other libbe consumers.
- Rename be_get_snapshot_props to be_get_dataset_props, make it more useful
At a bare minimum, this function will return 0 if a BE is mounted at the
given path or non-zero otherwise. If the optional 'details' nvlist is
supplied, it is filled with an nvpair containing just the information about
the BE mounted at the path. This nvpair is structured just as it is for
be_get_bootenv_props, except limited to just the single mount point.
Based on the idea that we shouldn't have all-new library and utility going
into base that need WARNS=1...
- Decent amount of constification
- Lots of parentheses
- Minor other nits
For the moment, this is a primitive nvlist dump of what we get back from
be_get_bootenv_props as a proof-of-concept and to make sure that we're
getting back the kind of information we want to see from list.
