This imports credentials also via SMBIOS' "OEM vendor string" section,
similar to the existing import logic from fw_cfg.
Functionality-wise this is very similar to the existing fw_cfg logic,
both of which are easily settable on the qemu command line.
Pros and cons of each:
SMBIOS OEM vendor strings:
- pro: fast, because memory mapped
- pro: somewhat VMM independent, at least in theory
- pro: qemu upstream sees this as the future
- pro: no additional kernel module needed
- con: strings only, thus binary data is base64 encoded
fw_cfg:
- pro: has been supported for longer in qemu
- pro: supports binary data
- con: slow, because IO port based
- con: only qemu
- con: requires qemu_fw_cfg.ko kernel module
- con: qemu upstream sees this as legacy
This can be useful for users of slow block devices.
For example, the persistent-storage rules are needed for USB floppy
drives be recognized by udisks2, but the extra blkid calls cause
thrashing for 25+ seconds after every disk change.
With this change, a user wishing to avoid the extra blkid invocation(s)
could create /etc/udev/rules.d/55-floppy-noprobe.rules as follows:
# Don't probe PC floppy drives
SUBSYSTEM=="block", KERNEL=="fd*", \
ENV{UDEV_DISABLE_PERSISTENT_STORAGE_BLKID_FLAG}="1"
# Don't probe USB floppy drives
SUBSYSTEM=="block", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", \
ATTRS{bInterfaceClass}=="08", ATTRS{bInterfaceSubClass}=="04", \
ENV{UDEV_DISABLE_PERSISTENT_STORAGE_BLKID_FLAG}="1"
I didn't exclude floppies by default in this change, because floppy
devices are also emulated by some BIOSes/hypervisors in some cases, and
I don't know how many systems would fail to boot if /dev/disk/by-uuid/*
became unavailable for 'floppy disks' on those systems.
Let's not allow anyone to look into /root/ if we create it via the
base-filesystem logic. i.e. change 0755 → 0750 as default access mode
for /root/, in case we create it if it happens to be missing.
This allows growfs to expand the filesystem even when the underlying
block device cannot be expanded. This has been useful for example on
LUKS devices that have already been expanded using systemd-repart.
This works around the following error:
```
root@mobian:/home/mobian# /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-growfs /
crypt_resize() of /dev/block/179:2 failed: Operation not permitted
```
This causes systemd-growfs to exit before resizing the partition when
`--dry-run` is passed. Resizing during a dry run of a change breaks the
users expectations.
This is a simple safety check, since we shouldn't invoke ioctls on fds
without being reasonably sure they are of the right type since ioctls
are overloaded, and we might be tricked hence to execute an operation on
an fd which means something different than what we expect.
