Let's use the new support for matching against any distribution in
a list of distributions to start sharing most things between the
ubuntu/debian configs and centos/fedora configs.
We dropped this logic from mkosi itself, so let's configure it in
our postinst script instead. We also enable the with-homed feature
if we can find it. It doesn't exist for the minimal profile yet,
but might be added in the future.
Requires apt 2.3.10 which is not available in stable, and also doesn't
seem necessary, same packages are installed anyway
Add tzdata manually, as that doesn't seem to be pulled in via the CI.
Normal users do not have permissions to access /proc/1/root, so
'systemd-detect-virt -r' fails, but the output, even at debug level
is cryptic:
$ SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug build/systemd-detect-virt -r
Failed to check for chroot() environment: Permission denied
Let's make this a bit easier to figure out:
$ SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug build/systemd-detect-virt -r
Cannot stat /proc/1/root: Permission denied
Failed to check for chroot() environment: Permission denied
I looked over other users of files_same(), and I think in general the message
at debug level is OK for them too.
Meta's resource control demo project[0] includes a benchmark tool that can
be used to calculate the best iocost solutions for a given SSD.

A project[1] has now been started to create a publicly available database
of results that can be used to apply them automatically.

This change adds a new tool that gets triggered by a udev rule for any
block device and queries the hwdb for known solutions. The format for
the hwdb file that is currently generated by the github action looks like
this:

The IOCOST_SOLUTIONS key lists the solutions available for that device
in the preferred order for higher isolation, which is a reasonable
default for most client systems. This can be overriden to choose better
defaults for custom use cases, like the various data center workloads.
The tool can also be used to query the known solutions for a specific
device or to apply a non-default solution (say, isolation or bandwidth).

getty-generator enables serial-getty@.service for virtualizer consoles
that it can find in /sys/class/tty. To make sure this works for
virtio consoles, let's make sure we load the module is loaded early
so that the /sys/class/tty/hvc0 exists before we run getty-generator.
This is the function version of STARTSWITH_SET(). We also move
STARTSWITH_SET() to string-util.h as it fits more there than in
strv.h and reimplement it using startswith_strv().
Let's avoid confusing developers and users when log messages suddenly
stop getting logged to kmsg because of ratelimiting by logging an
additional message if we start ratelimiting log messages to kmsg.
When trying to mount a partition that is encrypted without the
encryption first having been set up we want to return a
recognizable error (EUNATCH). This was broken by
80ce8580f5 which added an allowlist check
for permissible file systems first. Let's reverse the check order, so
that we get EUNATCH again, as before. (And leave EIDRM as error for the
failed allowlist check).
An overflow here (i.e. the counter reaching 2^32 within a ratelimit time
window) is not so unlikely. Let's handle this somewhat sanely
and simply stop counting, while remaining in the "limit is hit" state until
the time window has passed.
I made the mistake to look into what is installed into
/usr/lib/systemd/system-shutdown/ on Fedora. fwdupd among other things
assumes /var/ is available from these callouts, though it is not in the
general case.
Hence, let's emphasize this in the documentation a bit more.
See added code comment for a longer explanation. TLDR: Linux maintains
distinct block device caches for partition and "whole" block devices,
and a simply BLKFLSBUF should make the worst confusions this causes go
away.
