Systemd requires /var to be writeable [1]. With read-only rootfs, we
need a solution that makes sure /var is writeable. We already have a
solution using a factory, with systemd-tmpfiles. This approach has a few
limitations:
- The behaviour of what happens when the rootfs is updated and the
contents of the factory /var changes are not very intuitive.
- systemd-tmpfiles is not started super early in the boot, so there's a
relatively long time that /var is not writeable. There is also no easy
way in systemd to express dependencies on the subdirectories of /var
to have been populated from the factory.
- The contents of /var is duplicated. If it is big, the rootfs size
increases unnecessarily and it takes a long time before the copying is
done. This is also not done atomically.
This commit adds an alternative using an overlay filesystem that has the
following characteristics:
- Don't depend on anything being available, except the
API File Systems [2]. In other words, this can be done very early in
the boot process. This is useful because /var is meant to be
available before normal and even some early services are running.
- Be a clean drop-in, that can be trivially added / removed.
- Make sure that overlayfs is available in the kernel.
- Units are (partially) reusable for custom solutions. This goal is
actually not fully reached yet: for that the service file should be
converted into a template, and the mount unit should use a specifier
for all repeated references to /var.
Mounting the overlay is slightly acrobatic and requires a few steps:
- First, we have to make sure the directories for overlayfs's upper,
lower and work directories are available on a tmpfs. Note that
"upper" and "work" must be on the same filesystem.
- The writeable overlay upper directory must be mounted.
- The original contents of /var must be bind-mounted to the overlay
lower directory.
- Finally, the overlay must be mounted on /var.
For the overlayfs directories, we create a tree on /run. Since there is
no standard name convention for this, we create a new directory
"/run/buildroot" with subdirectory "mounts" for everything
mount-related. Below that, a subdirectory is created for every mount
point that needs helper directories. Thus, we arrive to
/run/buildroot/mounts/var as the base directory for the overlay. Below
this, the directories lower, upper and work are created.
The bind-mount of /var is done in the same service as the one creating
the overlay lower, upper and work directories. Creating those
directories can't be done in a mount unit, and bind-mounting /var in a
mount unit would create a circular dependency. Indeed, if we had a mount
unit to do the bind mount, then it sould look like:
# run-buildroot-mounts-var-lower.mount
[Mount]
What=/var
Where=/run/buildroot/mounts/var/lower
Options=bind
and then the var.mount unit would need to have a dependency on that
unit:
# var.mount
[Unit]
After=run-buildroot-mounts-var-lower.mount
[Mount]
Where=/var
However, the What=/var of the first unit automatically adds an implicit
dependency on /var, and since there is a unit providing Where=/var, we
would have run-buildroot-mounts-var-lower.mount depend on var.mount, but
we need var.mount to depend on run-buildroot-mounts-var-lower.mount, so
this is a circular dependency. There is no way to tell systemd no to add
the implicit dependency. So we do the bind mont manually in the service
unit that prepares the overlay structure.
For the writeable upper layer, we don't need to do anything. In the
default configuration, the upper layer is supposed to be a tmpfs, and
/run/buildroot/mounts/var/upper is already a tmpfs so it can serve as
is. To make it persistent, we suggest to the user to mount a writeable,
persistent filesystem on /run/buildroot/mounts/var. The
RequiresMountsFor dependency in the prepare-var-overlay service makes
sure that that mount is performed before the overlay is started. Using
/run/buildroot/mounts/var/upper as the mount point sounds more logical
at first, but since the work directory is supposed to be on the same
filesystem as the upper directory, this wouldn't work very well.
As example, consider using /dev/sdc1 as upper layer for var, this can be
achieved by adding the following line to fstab:
/dev/sdc1 /run/buildroot/mounts/var ext4 defaults
Systemd will convert this into a mount unit with all the proper
dependencies.
Norbert provided some systemd units as a starting point, and that was
quite a huge help in understanding how to fit all those things together.

Currently, we have a single solution to handle the /var content on a
read-only root filesystem, and users can opt out of using it.
We're going to introduce another solution (based on an overlayfs), which
is incompatible with using the factory, so we'll have a choice of three
mutually exclusive options.
Introduce that choice now with just the existing /var factory, and a new
option to opt out of it.

Currently, when one does not enable remounting the rootfs read-write,
i.e. keep it read-only, for example because the filesystem is actually
read-only by design, like squashfs, then two things happen:
- we create a factory from the content of /var at build time, register
tmpfiles entries for it, and mount a tmpfs on /var at runtime, so
that systemd-tmpfiles does populate /var from the factory; this is
only done when the rootfs is not remounted r/w;
- we trigger systemd-tmpfiles at build time, which uses the tmpfiles
db, of which our /var entries, to pre-populate the filesystem; this
is always done, whether the rootfs is remounted r/w or not.
Note that Buildroot mounts a tmpfs on /var, and leaves to the integrator
to care for providing an actual filesystem, as there are too many
variants and is very specific to each use-case.
These two mechanisms are conflicting, semantically, but also
technically: the files from the factory will be duplicated, but that
may help in some situations when the actual /var filesystem is not
mountable.
In some cases, it might be preferable to have none, either, or both
mechanisms enabled; it highly depends on the ultimate integration scheme
chosen for a device.
For example, some people will be very happy with a /var that is actually
on a tmpfs and that it gets reseeded form scratch at every boot, while
others may want to ensure that their system continue to work even when
they can't mount something that makes /var writable.
YMMV, as they used to say back in the day...
So, we introduce two new options, in the system sub-menu, each to drive
each mechanism. We default those options to y, to keep the previous
behaviour by default, except the var factory is only available when the
rootfs is not remounted r/w, as it were so far.
We still hint in the help text that there might be some conflict between
the two mechanisms, but since it has been that way for some time, it
does not look too broken for most people.
Since that introduces more options related to systemd being chosen as an
init system, we gather those two options and the existing one inside a
if-endif block, rather than adding more 'depends on' on each options.

Currently, the dependencies for the init system choice, and the
dependencies for the package, are slightly different, and not in the
same order, the latter making it difficult to assess consistency between
the two.
Fix all that, by cross-duplicating dependencies from the init choice and
the package, and order the dependencies according to the manual (arch
first, toolchain, then the others).
Note that some dependencies are redundant, but kept nonetheless for
correctness:
- BR2_USE_MMU is implied by BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC, but systemd does
use fork();
- !BR2_STATIC_LIBS is also implied by BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC, but it
is also inherited from kmod which we select;
- BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS is also implied by BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC,
but systemd does use pthread_*() functions.

We install a template getty service, and we 'instantiate' it in the
default runlevel, using the configured tty.
Ideally, packages that provide a getty program would be responsible
for installing the corresponding service file. However, to keep
consistency with the existing init systems (busybox, systemd, and
sysv), so we do provide it from the openrc package itself.
OpenRC only acts on the files in a runlevel sub-directory, but the
documentation [0] actually suggests that the instance symlink be done
in init.d, and then again symlinked into the actual runlevel
sub-directory. So, we abide by the rules.
Also, to be noted, the getty service file is installed without ensuring
that a getty command is available. This again is not unlike other init
systems, sysvinit and busybox, which behave the same.

When the rootfs is readonly, systemd will expect /var to be writable.
Because we do not really have a R/W filesystem to mount on /var, we make
it a tmpfs [*], and use the systemd-tmpfiles feature to populate it with
"factory" defaults.
We obtain those factory defaults by redirecting /var to that location at
build time, using a symlink /var -> /usr/share/factory which is the
location in which systemd-tmpfiles will look for when instructed to
"recursively copy" a directory.
With a line like:
C /var/something - - - -
it will look for /usr/share/factory/something and copy it (recursively
if it is a directory) to /var/something, but only if it does not already
exist there.
We also mark this copy with the exclamation mark, as it is only safe to
copy on boot, not when changing targets.
To be noted: the real format for such lines are:
C /var/something - - - - /from/where/to/copy/something
But if the source is not given, then it is implicitly taken from
/usr/share/factory (which in our case is as-good a location as whatever
else, so we use it, and thus we need not specify the source of the
copy).
Note that we treat symlinks a little bit specially, by creating symlinks
to the factory defaults rather than copying them.
Finally, /var at build time is a symlink, but at runtime, it must be a
directory (so we can mount the tmpfs over there). We can't change that
as a target-finalize hook, because:
- some packages may want to set ownership and/or access rights on
files or directories in /var, and that only happens while assembling
the filesystem images; changing /var from a symlink to a (then
empty) directory would break this;
- /var would be a directory on sub-sequent builds (until the next
"make clean").
Instead, we use the newly-introduce pre- and post-rootfs command hooks,
to turn /var into a directory before assembling the image, and back to a
symlink after assembling the image.
[*] People who want the factory-defaults only on first boot will have
to tweak the fstab to mount something else than a tmpfs on /var.

Introduce three new skeleton packages, aptly named skeleton-sysv,
skeleton-systemd and skeleton-none. All three are providers of the
skeleton virtual package, in lieu of the skeleton-common package,
which is now a simple dependency of all three new skeletons.
Those packages are empty for now. In followup changes:
- sysv-specific stuff will be moved out of skeleton-common and into
skeleton-sysv;
- systemd-specific stuff will be added to skeleton-systemd.

We now have two packages that can act as a skeleton, skeleton-common,
also known as our default skeleton, and skeleton-custom.
This means that the skeleton package can be a standard virtual package
now.

Move all the handling of the default skeleton into a new package,
skeleton-common.
We don't name it skeleton-default, because it will be further split
later, into a skeleton for sysv and another for systemd, with some parts
still common between the two. So just name it skeleton-common right now;
this will save us a rename later.
While we're at it, also assign to SKELETON_COMMON_TARGET_FINALIZE_HOOKS
instead of directly to the global FINALIZE_HOOKS. Therefore, we don't
need to do all of that in a condition BR2_PACKAGE_SKELETON_COMMON==y.
Note: it would be technically sound to move the skeleton files together
within a sub-directory of the skeleton-common package. However, we refer
the user to those files, from various locations (manual, packages). It
will indeed be easier for the user to find those files in
system/skeleton/ rather than in package/skeleton-common/skeleton/

For the custom skeleton, we practicaly do nothing, except ensure it
contains the basic, required directories, and that those are properly
setup wrt. merged /usr.
Furthermore, our current skeleton is not fit for systemd, and we'll
have to split things out into various skeletons.
So, off-load the custom skeleton into its own package.
Thus, the existing skeleton package is now limited to:
- when using our default skeleton, install and tweak it properly;
- when using a custom skeleton, do nothing except for depending on
the skeleton-custom package.

Our current skeleton is tailored to sysv-like init systems; it is not
fit for systemd-based systems. So, in upcoming changes, we'll add
another skeleton for systemd.
This means we can no longer have the current skeleton default to 'y', or
it would be enabled also for systemd, which would be incorrect.
So, we remove the default to 'y' but have it selected by the default
skeleton choice.
However, we do not yet have a way to directly build (really, install)
the custom skeleton, it is built (really, installed) as a dependency of
the default skeleton. So we must also forcibly select the default
skeleton when using a custom one.
Until we have the means to do only one or the other; i.e. when we have a
virtual skeleton.

Setting the root pasword is done in a target-finalize hook, so we do not
need to enforce a dependency from the skeleton onto host-mkpasswd.
Dropping that dependency will simplify making skeleton a virtual
package (in up-coming changes).
Instead, it is now selected as any other package. As such, it is
guaranteed to be built before target-finalize.
This however introduces a slight change in behaviour: previously,
host-mkpasswd would only be built if we needed to hash the root password
from its plain-text value. Now, host-mkpasswd is always built as soon as
the root password is non-empty, even if already pre-hashed.
Since host-mkpasswd is a really tiny weeny package bundled in Buildroot,
with only two C files, built as a single unit with a single gcc call,
the overhead is really minimal. Compared to the simplifications this
will allow in the skeleton packages (plural: common, sysv, systemd,
custom) to come, this overhead is acceptable.
Yet another simplification, even if small, to ease providing multiple
skeletons.

Until now, the option BR2_ENABLE_LOCALE was more-or-less controlling
whether NLS support was enabled in packages. More precisely, if
BR2_ENABLE_LOCALE=y, we were not doing anything (so some packages
could have NLS support enabled, some not). And only when
BR2_ENABLE_LOCALE was disabled we were explicitly passing
--disable-nls to packages.
This doesn't make much sense, and there is no reason to tie NLS
support to locale support. You may want locale support, but not
necessarily NLS support. Therefore, this commit introduces
BR2_SYSTEM_ENABLE_NLS, which allows to enable/disable NLS support
globally. When this option is enabled, we pass --enable-nls to
packages, otherwise we pass --disable-nls.
In addition, when this option is enabled and the C library doesn't
provide a full-blown implementation of gettext, we select the gettext
package, which will provide the full blown implementation.
It is worth mentioning that this commit has a visible impact for users:
- Prior to this commit, as soon as BR2_ENABLE_LOCALE=y, packages
*could* provide NLS support. It was up to each package to decide
whether they wanted to provide NLS support or not (we were not
passing --enable-nls nor --disable-nls).
- After this commit, it's BR2_SYSTEM_ENABLE_NLS that controls whether
NLS is enabled or disabled, and this option is disabled by default.
Bottom line: with the default of BR2_SYSTEM_ENABLE_NLS disabled, some
packages may lose NLS support that they used to provide. But we
believe it's a reasonable default behavior for Buildroot, where
generally NLS support is not necessary.

Even though no timezone implicitly means UTC, systemd is not all that
happy when it does not have a timezone set. This is all fine on a RW
filesystem because systemd will create a symlink on its own (to
Etc/UTC), but not so much on a RO filesystem, causing all kind of
issues at boot time (up to the point that the system is unusable).
We fix that by requiring that the timezone is actually set. The check is
done by verifying that the timezone file is an actual file; if not set,
the test would find a directory and would thus fail.
Update the help entry accordingly.
Also fix indentation in tzdata.

The BR2_SYSTEM_BIN_SH hidden option defines to what binary the /bin/sh
symlinks should point to. If busybox is chosen, then /bin/sh is created
to point to /bin/busybox.
This works fine with the default installation mode of Busybox, but it
fails with the upcoming "individual binaries" mode, in which each applet
is installed as its own binary, and /bin/busybox doesn't exist: we get
/bin/sh as a broken symlink to /bin/busybox.
Since Busybox already installs its own /bin/sh symlink, properly
pointing to /bin/ash or /bin/hush depending on the selected shell, it
doesn't make sense for the BR2_SYSTEM_BIN_SH logic to override
this. Just let Busybox install its own /bin/sh by making
BR2_SYSTEM_BIN_SH empty when Busybox shell is selected as /bin/sh.
