f453f637d5 system: Allow the root file system to be named by UUID.
* gnu/build/file-systems.scm (canonicalize-device-spec)[canonical-title]:

78981bb9bd file-systems: Do not truncate mount points that already exist.
Reported by David Thompson <dthompson2@worcester.edu>
at <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2015-10/msg00284.html>.

* gnu/build/file-systems.scm (mount-file-system): When SOURCE matches
  'regular-file?', do not create MOUNT-POINT if it already exists.  This
  fixes a bug whereby we would be truncating MOUNT-POINT if it already
  existed.

cc0e575a94 linux-boot: Mount /dev as a devtmpfs from the start.
Suggested by Petter <petter@mykolab.ch>
and Mark H Weaver <mhw@netris.org>.
Reported by Duncan Keall <duncan@duncankeall.com>.

Partly fixes <http://bugs.gnu.org/19190> by populating /dev/mapper
early enough.

  a devtmpfs.
  (move-essential-file-systems): Add /dev.

ee78d02452 build: container: Use the same clone flags as fork(3).
The intent is to make 'clone' behave a lot more like 'primitive-fork', which
calls clone(2) with SIGCHLD, CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID, and CLONE_CHILD_SETTID
flags.  Notably, running 'clone' at the REPL without these flags would break
the REPL beyond repair.

* guix/build/syscalls.scm (CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID, CLONE_CHILD_SETTID): New
  variables.
* gnu/build/linux-container.scm (namespaces->bit-mask): Add
  CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID and CLONE_CHILD_SETTID to bit mask.

831bc1468e build: container: Add #:host-uids argument to call-with-container.
It's not always possible to map 65536 uids when creating a container as the
root user within another user namespace.  This is true when building Guix
within the build daemon's container.  By using a uid range of 1 by default,
even as the root user, the tests now pass.

* gnu/build/linux-container.scm (initialize-user-namespace, run-container):
  Add 'host-uids' argument.
  (call-with-container): Add #:host-uids keyword argument.
* tests/containers.scm ("container-excursion"): Update 'run-container' call.

5fd77f3f43 gnu: Make 'mount' interface in static Guile consistent with Guix API.
Rather than expecting a pointer, the version of 'mount' in

the 'mount' procedure in (guix build syscalls).

This would not work when /boot is a separate partition, as reported by

  sub-directory.
