These are implemented as dummy jumps with a script that just exits
with success. Since this script will be sourced, rather than called,
this causes the bootstrap process to exit at that point.
The breakpoints are conditional on INTERNAL_CI (we check for "pass1"
because that's the only pass when script-generator runs, but the
resulting effect is that each pass only bootstraps its own part of
the manifest).
Linux's KBUILD doesn't follow SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, but rather it
uses its own variable, KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP.
While we are at it, also update kexec-linux's checksum, which
didn't match either. (This one was reproducible, it was just
out of date.)
Unless --external-sources is given, only download distfiles that
need to be included in srcfs. The rest will be downloaded anyway
by the bootstrap system once it gets network access.
To accomplish this, instead of searching steps for sources files,
we now parse steps/manifest. As a side effect, source_manifest.py
now outputs source files in the order they appear in the manifest.
* Support specifying the size of the target disk image for qemu
* For bare metal, only pad the image to the next megabyte
* Use truncate() to extend images, instead of writing zeros (faster)
* Return None from get_disk() with nonexistent name
* Leave 1MiB on non-boot disks, or 1GiB on boot disks, unpartitioned
(for proper 4K alignment and to help preserve the srcfs or boot
partition creation)
* Fix qemu invocation when an external.img is not used
* Make -qr work with kernel bootstrap (will need kexec-fiwix fix)
- This idea originates from very early in the project and was, at the
time, a very easy way to categorise things.
- Now, it doesn't really make much sense - it is fairly arbitary, often
occuring when there is a change in kernel, but not from builder-hex0
to fiwix, and sysb is in reality completely unnecessary.
- In short, the sys* stuff is a bit of a mess that makes the project
more difficult to understand.
- This puts everything down into one folder and has a manifest file that
is used to generate the build scripts on the fly rather than using
coded scripts.
- This is created in the "seed" stage.
stage0-posix -- (calls) --> seed -- (generates) --> main steps
Alongside this change there are a variety of other smaller fixups to the
general structure of the live-bootstrap rootfs.
- Creating a rootfs has become much simpler and is defined as code in
go.sh. The new structure, for an about-to-be booted system, is
/
-- /steps (direct copy of steps/)
-- /distfiles (direct copy of distfiles/)
-- all files from seed/*
-- all files from seed/stage0-posix/*
- There is no longer such a thing as /usr/include/musl, this didn't
really make any sense, as musl is the final libc used. Rather, to
separate musl and mes, we have /usr/include/mes, which is much easier
to work with.
- This also makes mes easier to blow away later.
- A few things that weren't properly in packages have been changed;
checksum-transcriber, simple-patch, kexec-fiwix have all been given
fully qualified package names.
- Highly breaking change, scripts now exist in their package directory
but NOT WITH THE packagename.sh. Rather, they use pass1.sh, pass2.sh,
etc. This avoids manual definition of passes.
- Ditto with patches; default directory is patches, but then any patch
series specific to a pass are named patches-passX.
