Rather than writing the diagnosis to the kernel console, Diagnose can
now directly return the extra debugging info, which will be appended ot
the kernel console log.
* vm/qemu: Improve debug output.
When running in debug mode, the number of VMs is reduced to 1.
State this in the debug output.
* vm/qemu: Don't start debug output with a capital letter.
As requested by Dimitry.
* vm: Provide debug message when reduing number of VMs.
Apply this change to all affected platforms for consistency.
Suggested by Dmitry.
* Add myself to AUTHORS/CONTRIBUTORS files.
* vm: Fix compilation issues missed in earlier commit.
* vm: Use logging to write debug message.
We currently have this list in multiple places (somewhat diverged).
Specify this "overcommit" property in VM implementations.
In particular, we also want to allow overcommit for "vmm" type.
Update #712
When manager is stopped there are sometimes runaway qemu
processes still running. Set PDEATHSIG for all subprocesses.
We never need child processes outliving parents.
Currently we have unix permissions for new files/dirs
hardcoded throughout the code base. Some places use 0644,
some - 0640, some - 0600 and a variety of other constants.
Introduce osutil.MkdirAll/WriteFile that use the default
permissions and use them throughout the code base.
This makes permissions consistent and also allows to easily
change the permissions later if we change our minds.
Also merge pkg/fileutil into pkg/osutil as they become
dependent on each other. The line between them was poorly
defined anyway as both operate on files.
Sshkey is a property of image, which is in manager config.
Move sshkey to the same location as image.
The motivation for the move is as follows.
Continuous build produces an image and the key,
both need to be passed manager instance.
Continuous build system should not distinguish
different VM types and mess with their configs.
NOTE FOR USERS: this breaks manager configs again.
Hopefully the last time for now. Docs are updated.
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.
Current interface is suitable only for running syz-fuzzer.
Make the interface more generic (boot, copy file, run an arbitrary command).
This allows to build other tools on top of vm package
(e.g. reproducer creation).
