The problem with gs:// is that after any filepath.Join
it's transformed to gs:/ which is not recognized.
It's safer to not allow specifying them at all,
rather than constantly breaking them.
Currently gce accepts precreated GCE image name as image config param,
while all other VM types accept local file path as image.
This makes it impossible to write generic code that works with all VM types,
i.e. after building a new image it's unclear if it needs to be uploaded
to GCE or not, and what needs to be passed as image in config.
Eliminate this difference by making gce accept local image file as well.
VM infrastructure currently has several problems:
- Config struct is complete mess with a superset of params for all VM types
- verification of Config is mess spread across several places
- there is no place where VM code could do global initialization
like creating GCE connection, uploading GCE image to GCS,
matching adb devices with consoles, etc
- it hard to add private VM implementations
such impl would need to add code to config package
which would lead to constant merge conflicts
- interface for VM implementation is mixed with interface for VM users
this does not allow to provide best interface for both of them
- there is no way to add common code for all VM implementations
This change solves these problems by:
- splitting VM interface for users (vm package) and VM interface
for VM implementations (vmimpl pacakge), this in turn allows
to add common code
- adding Pool concept that allows to do global initialization
and config checking at the right time
- decoupling manager config from VM-specific config
each VM type now defines own config
Note: manager configs need to be changed after this change:
VM-specific parts are moved to own "vm" subobject.
Note: this change also drops "local" VM type.
Its story was long unclear and there is now syz-stress which solves the same problem.
Introduce generic config.Load function that can be
reused across multiple programs (syz-manager, syz-gce, etc).
Move the generic config functionality to pkg/config package.
The idea is to move all helper (non-main) packages to pkg/ dir,
because we have more and more of them and they pollute the top dir.
Move the syz-manager config parts into syz-manager/config package.
