When the store overlay is mounted, other processes such as kmscon, udev
and guix-daemon may open files from the store, preventing the
underlying install support from being umounted. See:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2018-12/msg00161.html.
To avoid this situation, mount the store overlay inside a container,
and run the installation from within that container.
* gnu/build/shepherd.scm (fork+exec-command/container): New procedure.
* gnu/services/base.scm (guix-shepherd-service): Support an optional PID
argument passed to the "start" method. If that argument is passed, ensure that
guix-daemon enters the given PID MNT namespace by using
fork+exec-command/container procedure.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (umount-cow-store): Remove it,
(install-system): run the installation from within a container.
* gnu/installer/newt/final.scm (run-install-shell): Remove the display hack.
We may want to run a container inside the MNT namespace, without jailing the
container. If RUN-CONTAINER is passed a null MOUNTS list, do not jail the
container.
* gnu/build/linux-container.scm (run-container): Do not call
MOUNT-FILE-SYSTEMS if MOUNTS list is empty.
Move the cow-store procedure from the service declaration in (gnu system
install) to (gnu build install), so that it can be called from within a
different context than Shepherd.
* gnu/build/install.scm (mount-cow-store, unmount-cow-store): New procedures.
* gnu/system/install.scm (make-cow-store): Remove it,
(cow-store-service-type): adapt it accordingly.
This adds a "secret-service" that can be added to a Childhurd VM to receive
out-of-band secrets (keys) sent from the host.

This commit adds support for GZIP compression for linux-libre kernel
modules. The initrd modules are kept uncompressed as the initrd is already
compressed as a whole.
The linux-libre kernel also supports XZ compression, but as Guix does not have
any available bindings for now, and the compression time is far more
significant, GZIP seems to be a better option.

The "image-root" derivation output is used as a temporary directory that is
passed to mke2fs and mkdosfs later on. By merging the creation of this
directory and the production of partition images, we can get rid of the
derivation.
As mke2fs and mkdosfs are not able to override file permissions, call those
commands with fakeroot. This way, all the image files will be owned by root,
even if image generation is done in an unprivilegded context.
* gnu/system/image.scm (system-disk-image): Merge "image-root" and
"iso9660-image" derivations so that we spare an extra derivation. Also add
"fakeroot" and its runtime dependencies to the inputs.
* gnu/build/image.scm (make-ext-image, make-vfat-image): Make sure that mke2fs
and mkdosfs are respectively called by fakeroot.
Note: Using `getxattr' on the Hurd instead of running showtrans does not
work (yet?).
* gnu/build/hurd-boot.scm (setup-translator): Use 'setxattr' instead of

* gnu/system.scm (hurd-multiboot-modules): Add --x-xattr-translator-records to
enable xattr-embedding of translators.

set-translator, set-hurd-device-translators): New procedures.

This mirrors a change made in the Shepherd 0.8.0. Previously, upon
startup failure, we could have left processes behind.

This change mirrors changes made in the Shepherd 0.8.1, where signals
are blocked in the shepherd process in support of 'signalfd'. The
regression was introduced with the switch to 0.8.1 in
3f9c62d1a8: child processes would not
receive SIGTERM upon 'herd stop SERVICE'.

Calling "mknod" without root permissions fails. Plus those device nodes do not
appear to be needed to boot.
* gnu/build/image.scm (initialize-root-partition): Do not use
make-essential-device-nodes as default make-device-nodes procedure.
This decouples startup of the Hurd from the "hurd" package, moving the RC
script into SYSTEM.
* gnu/packages/hurd.scm (hurd)[inputs]: Remove hurd-rc-script.
[arguments]: Do not substitute it. Update "runsystem.sh" to parse kernel
arguments and exec into --system=SYSTEM/rc.

Hurd.
* gnu/system.scm (hurd-default-essential-services): Add %boot-service and
%activation-service.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm): Remove #:target.
[builder]: Use #+. Don't pass #:target-arm32? and #:target-aarch64? to
'load-in-linux-vm'.
Pass #:target #f to 'gexp->derivation'.
(qemu-image): Adjust accordingly.
* gnu/build/vm.scm (load-in-linux-vm): Remove #:target-aarch64?
and #:target-arm32?. Define them as local variables.
* gnu/build/image.scm (initialize-root-partition): Add bootloader-package and
bootloader-installer arguments. Run the bootloader-installer if defined.
* gnu/system/image.scm (system-disk-image): Adapt the partition initializer
call accordingly.
* gnu/build/image.scm (make-ext4-image): Rename to ...
(make-ext-image): ... it, and pass the file-system type to mke2fs,
(make-partition-image): Adapt to call "make-ext-image" if the partition
file-system is prefixed by "ext".
The --root option can now be omitted, and inferred from the root file system
declaration instead.
* gnu/build/file-systems.scm (canonicalize-device-spec): Extend to support NFS
directly, and...
* gnu/build/linux-boot.scm (boot-system): ...remove NFS special casing from
here. Remove nested definitions for root-fs-type, root-fs-flags and
root-fs-options, and bind those inside the let* instead. Make "--root" take
precedence over the device field string representation of the root file
system.
* doc/guix.texi (Initial RAM Disk): Document that "--root" can be left
unspecified.
* gnu/build/vm.scm (install-efi, make-iso9660-image): Remove those procedures
that are now implemented in (gnu build image) module,
(initialize-hard-disk): remove efi support.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (iso9660-image): Remove it,
(qemu-image): adapt it to remove ISO9660 support.
Raw disk-images and ISO9660 images are created in a Qemu virtual machine. This
is quite fragile, very slow, and almost unusable without KVM.
For all these reasons, add support for host image generation. This implies the
use new image generation mechanisms.
- Raw disk images: images of partitions are created using tools such as mke2fs
and mkdosfs depending on the partition file-system type. The partition
images are then assembled into a final image using genimage.
- ISO9660 images: the ISO root directory is populated within the store. GNU
xorriso is then called on that directory, in the exact same way as this is
done in (gnu build vm) module.
Those mechanisms are built upon the new (gnu image) module.
* gnu/image.scm: New file.
* gnu/system/image.scm: New file.
* gnu/build/image: New file.

There's no need to set the store GID as is will be done by the guix-daemon,
with the following snippet:
if (chown(chrootStoreDir.c_str(), 0, buildUser.getGID()) == -1)
throw SysError(format("cannot change ownership of ‘%1%’") % chrootStoreDir);
* gnu/build/install.scm (directives): Do not set store GID.
Changing ownership may require root permissions. As image can now be generated
without root permissions (no VM involved), ignore those exceptions.
* gnu/build/install.scm (evaluate-populate-directive): Ignore chown
exceptions.
