Instead of building the initrds for the mkosi images with dracut,
let's switch to using mkosi presets to build the initrd with mkosi
as well.
This commit splits up our single image build into three separate
mkosi presets:
1. The "base" preset. This image contains systemd and all its runtime
dependencies. The sole purpose of this image is to serve as a base image
for the initrd and the final image. It's also responsible for building
systemd from source with the build script. The results are installed into
the base image. Note that we install the systemd and udev packages into this
image as well to prevent package managers from overriding the systemd we built
from source with the distro packaged systemd if it's pulled in as a dependency
by another package from the initrd or final profiles.
2. The "initrd" preset. This image provides the initrd. It's trivial and does
nothing more than packaging the base image up as a zstd compressed initramfs and
adds /init and /etc/initrd-release symlinks to the image.
3. The "final" preset. This image builds on top of the base image and adds
a kernel and extra packages that are useful for testing and debugging.
We also split out the optional kernel build into a separate set of config files
that are only included if a kernel to build is actually provided.
Note that this commit doesn't really change anything about how mkosi is used.
The commands remain the same, except that mkosi will now build all the presets
in order. "mkosi summary" will show the summary of all the presets. "mkosi qemu,
boot, shell" will always boot the final preset. With "-f", all presets will be
built and the final one is booted. "-i" makes a cache of each preset.
The only thing to keep in mind is that specifying config via the mkosi CLI will
apply to each of the presets. e.g. any extra packages added with "-p" will be
installed in both the initrd and the final image. To apply local configuration
to a single preset, create a file 00-local.conf in
mkosi.presets/<profile>/mkosi.conf.d and put all the preset specific configuration
in there.
- Remove useless serial console configs
- Add CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_PCI so that qemu's virtconsole works properly
- Add CONFIG_DMI and CONFIG_DMI_SYSFS so that SMBIOS credentials work
- Add CONFIG_IKCONFIG and CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC so we can read the
current kernel config from /proc/config.gz
- Add CONFIG_IOSCHED_BFQ to get rid of a udev error on boot on Fedora
- Add CONFIG_HW_RANDOM_VIRTIO to get hw rng in qemu
- Add CONFIG_SECURITY_YAMA to get rid of warning from sysctl on boot
- Add CONFIG_VSOCKETS and CONFIG_VIRTIO_VSOCKETS to enable vsock support
Instead of relying on the arch specific kconfigs that enable all
kinds of options that are irrelevant for our use case, let's beef
up our own config a little so that we don't need to rely on the
arch specific configs anymore.
Also, instead of using scripts/config to enable options in the
mkosi build script, let's add a new kernel.config file that includes
all the configs we want enabled/disabled.
Finally, let's make sure we can properly run the bpf selftests by
making sure we enable all the right configs required to run the bpf
selftests successfully. We use the scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh
script to merge the three different config files together.
