[stage1-xen (RFC) PATCH 00/10] Add Fedora support

[Rajiv Ranganath]

Hi Stefanao,

Following series adds documentation on how to use stage1-xen on Fedora.
It also adds continuous build support using CircleCI.

Xen, Qemu, rkt and stage1 ACI image are built using a Fedora based
container. This setup allows for a reproducible build environment that
we can use locally and also within a CI system.

Below is an overview of the series -

build/fedora: Add `buildroot-README.md`
build/fedora: Add `buildroot-Dockerfile`
build/fedora: Add `run`

`build/fedora` directory is introduced. In this directory we can
maintain documentation, scripts and patches relating to Fedora support
for stage1-xen.

`buildroot-README.md` describes a two stage container build process.
This is modeled on how we do builds for distro packages, but using
containers instead of a mock/chroot environment. The build artifact
produced by `run` script is a tarball, instead of a rpm or deb file.

build/fedora: Add `source_path.sh`
build/fedora: Add `xen-unstable-runit/*` scripts

Scripts used within build artifact tarball.

.circleci/config.yml: Add
README.md: Add CircleCI badge

Adds CircleCI support. Here [1][2] is a temporary repo with Circle CI
support enabled.

build/fedora: Add `RUNNING_STAGE1_XEN.md`
BUILDING.md: Add Fedora instructions

Update docs.

Please let me know your comments. Thank you!

Best,
Rajiv

+## stage1-xen Fedora Buildroot
+
+stage1-xen build artifacts for Fedora is built in two phases. In the first phase
+a docker container is prepared with all the build dependencies. We refer to it
+as `stage1-xen-fedora-buildroot`. In the next phase we execute the `run` script
+that uses `stage1-xen-fedora-buildroot` and to produce the build artifacts.
+
+### Building `stage1-xen-fedora-buildroot`
+
+`stage1-xen-fedora-buildroot` has a external dependency
+on [`binutils`](https://github.com/lambda-linux-fedora/binutils) package that is
+compiled with `i386pe` support. You can download the pre-built RPMs
+from [here](https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_tTbuxmuRzIR05wQ3E1eWVyaGs).
+Please download `binutils-2.26.1-1.1.fc25.tar`.
+
+To build docker image
+
+```
+cd stage1-xen/build/fedora
+
+docker build -f buildroot-Dockerfile -t stage1-xen-fedora-buildroot .
+```
+
+### Running `stage1-xen-fedora-buildroot`
+
+```
+cd stage1-xen
+
+docker run --rm \
+  -v `pwd`:/root/gopath/src/github.com/rkt/stage1-xen \
+  -v /tmp:/tmp \
+  -t -i stage1-xen-fedora-buildroot \
+  /sbin/my_init -- /root/bin/run
+```
+
+The generated build artifacts are in `/tmp` directory.
+
+To debug build issues -
+
+```
+cd stage1-xen
+
+docker run --rm \
+  -v `pwd`:/root/gopath/src/github.com/rkt/stage1-xen \
+  -v /tmp:/tmp \
+  -t -i stage1-xen-fedora-buildroot \
+  /sbin/my_init -- /bin/bash
+```
+
+Also see section on `ipdb` in `buildroot-Dockerfile`.

Note you shouldn't need to do this in Fedora 26 and later as i386pep 
support was added to binutils (see 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1376870 ).

In addition to the instructions below, please mention how to build
stage1-xen manually by installing the dependencies listed in
buildroot-Dockerfile and executing build/fedora/run by hand.

This is great, just a couple of comments. Please split it into two
scripts: one to build the dependecies (xen, qemu, etc.), and the other
to build stage1-xen. Of course, you could have one `run' script that
calls both scripts for convenience.

That way, a user could call the dependency builder once on her system,
then call the stage1-xen builder as many times as needed. The script
will be more reusable.

You won't like this final suggestion, but I'll try anyway :-) I would
prefer if this script was in bash. I have nothing against python (in
fact I know python better than other scripting languages) but I try to
minimize the number of languages required to contribute to stage1-xen.
But if it is python or nothing, I'll take python.

I think it is fine to install things under /opt by default, but I would
like it to be configurable. A global variable at the top of the script
to set the destination directory is good enough.

Same here about the destination directory

In most of my script I tend not to use pipefail because if I use a pipe
is exactly because one of the commands might fail. I do it on purpose.
This script doesn't even have any pipes, I would drop it.

pushd and popd are not useful in this script, I would remove them

Why /bin/sh instead of bash? The container should have bash installed,
right?

If we are using bash, I would consider adding a set -e, also in the
other sh scripts below.

Does .circleci need to be in the top directory or could it be under
fedora? If possible, I think it would make more sense to introduce it
there.

I would have also preferred the `.circleci/` directory to be under
`build/fedora/`.

However, I could not find an option to change this directory. From their
documentation [1], I get a sense that this path is hardcoded.

Best,
Rajiv

Oh well. In that case, we'll keep it in the root directory. Thanks for
checking.

+## Preparing your machine and installing minimal Fedora
+
+On x86 platform there are two ways to start an operating system or a hypervisor. They are &ndash;
+
+ * Legacy BIOS Mode
+ * EFI Mode
+
+Latest operating systems and hypervisors including Fedora and Xen has support for EFI mode. If you are unfamiliar with EFI we recommend checking out this [article](http://www.rodsbooks.com/efi-bootloaders/principles.html).
+
+By default, most BIOS now boot using EFI Mode. In your BIOS menu, there might be an option to toggle _Legacy BIOS Mode_. Do not toggle that option.
+
+### Enable VT-x and VT-d
+
+Please ensure that you have enabled VT-x and if available VT-d.
+
+### Disable Secure Boot
+
+As we will be booting a custom build of Xen, we need to disable secure boot. You will find an option in your BIOS menu to disable secure boot.
+
+### Installing minimal Fedora
+
+The default Fedora installation installs packages that we do not require when running Xen. We recommend doing a minimal Fedora as follows.
+
+ 1. Download Net Install image
+
+ 2. Prepare a USB drive
+
+ 3. Do a minimal Fedora Install
+
+You can download the Fedora net install image [here](https://alt.fedoraproject.org/). You can select either the Fedora Server or Fedora Workstation image, it doesn't really matter.
+
+After downloading the net install images, please copy the raw image onto a USB drive. Please see [this](https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Installation_Guide/sect-making-usb-media.html) link on how to prepare USB drive.
+
+EFI BIOS comes with a _BIOS Boot Menu_ using which you can select the device to boot from. Insert the USB drive, then go into your BIOS Boot Menu and boot using the USB drive. This should start the Fedora Network Installer.
+
+In the Fedora Installer, there is a section for under _SOFTWARE_ called _SOFTWARE SELECTION_. In this section please **select** either _Minimal Install_ or _Basic Desktop_, **without** any add-ons. 
+
+**Note:** If there is existing data on the hard disk, please ensure that _INSTALLATION DESTINATION_ under _SYSTEM_ section is appropriately configured. 
+
+Then click on _Begin Installation_ to complete the installation.
+
+Once the installation is complete, please disable SELinux by editing `/etc/selinux/config`.
+
+You now have a minimal Fedora Installation, which is good for working with Xen.
+
+<a name="booting_into_xen"></a>
+## Booting into Xen
+
+Log into Fedora as root and copy over `stage1-xen-build.tar.gz`. Extract `stage1-xen-build.tar.gz` into `/opt` directory.
+
+```shell
+[root@localhost ~]# tar zxvf stage1-xen-build.tar.gz -C /opt
+
+[root@localhost ~]# ls /opt
+qemu-unstable  stage1-xen  xen-unstable  xen-unstable-runit
+```
+
+This will extract all the build artifacts into `/opt` directory.
+
+Next we will create a BIOS Boot Menu entry to boot `xen-4.10-unstable.efi`. This will start Xen hypervisor. Xen will then start Fedora as Dom-0 guest.
+
+On Fedora, EFI system partition (ESP) is usually mounted at `/boot/efi`. This is a `vfat` partition. You can check if EFI system partition is mounted as follows &ndash;
+
+```shell
+[root@localhost ~]# mount | grep '\/boot\/efi'
+/dev/sda1 on /boot/efi type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0077,dmask=0077,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=winnt,errors=remount-ro)
+```
+
+Create a directory for Xen under `/boot/efi/EFI` and copy over `xen-4.10-unstable.efi`.
+
+```shell
+[root@localhost ~]# mkdir -p /boot/efi/EFI/xen
+[root@localhost ~]# cp /opt/xen-unstable/boot/efi/EFI/xen/xen-4.10-unstable.efi /boot/efi/EFI/xen/
+```
+
+Inspect `/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg`. Under section `### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###` you will find `menuentry` for Fedora kernel and initrd. Look for `linuxefi` and `initrdefi`. Copy over the `vmlinuz` and `initramfs` files that you want to use for your Dom-0 into `/boot/efi/EFI/xen` directory.
+
+```shell
+[root@localhost ~]# cp /boot/vmlinuz-A.B.C-D.fcXX.x86_64 /boot/efi/EFI/xen/
+
+[root@localhost ~]# cp /boot/initramfs-A.B.C-D.fcXX.x86_64.img /boot/efi/EFI/xen/
+```
+
+Now in `/boot/efi/EFI/xen/` you should have the following files.
+
+```shell
+[root@localhost ~]# ls /boot/efi/EFI/xen/
+initramfs-A.B.C-D.fcXX.x86_64.img  vmlinuz-A.B.C-D.fcXX.x86_64  xen-4.10-unstable.efi
+```
+
+Next create a file `xen-4.10-unstable.cfg` in `/boot/efi/EFI/xen/`. This is the [configuration file](https://xenbits.xen.org/docs/unstable/misc/efi.html) that Xen EFI loader will use to load Dom-0 kernel and initrd.
+
+Following are contents of `xen-4.10-unstable.cfg`
+
+```
+[global]
+default=fedora-A.B.C-D.fc25
+
+[fedora-A.B.C-D.fc25]
+options=console=vga,com1 com1=115200,8n1 iommu=verbose ucode=scan flask=disabled conring_size=2097152 loglvl=all autoballoon=0 dom0_mem=4096M,max:4096M
+kernel=vmlinuz-A.B.C-D.fc25.x86_64 root=UUID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx ro rhgb console=hvc0 console=tty0
+ramdisk=initramfs-A.B.C-D.fc25.x86_64.img
+```
+
+You can find the boot parameters for `kernel=` from `linuxefi` entry in `/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg` Adjust `dom0_mem` appropriately leaving sufficient room for dom-U guests.
+
+We can now use `efibootmgr` to create a boot entry for Xen. If this the first time you are using `efibootmgr` please checkout the man pages by doing `man efibootmgr`.
+
+Use `efibootmgr -v` to list all the EFI boot entires.
+
+```shell
+[root@localhost ~]# efibootmgr -v
+BootCurrent: 0002
+Timeout: 2 seconds
+BootOrder: ...
+
+[...]
+
+Boot0001* Xen   HD(1,GPT,7d511991-1c25-4e33-900b-1d61d7752f19,0x800,0x82000)/File(\EFI\xen\xen-4.10-unstable.efi)
+Boot0002* Fedora        HD(1,GPT,7d511991-1c25-4e33-900b-1d61d7752f19,0x800,0x82000)/File(\EFI\fedora\shim.efi)
+
+[...]
+```
+
+In the above example there is already an entry for Xen with a boot number of `1`. Fedora is at boot number `2`. Your entires would look different. You won't have the Xen entry as yet! We are showing you an example where the Xen boot entry has already been created.
+
+Let us now create a boot entry for Xen. First we need to identify the disk and the partition number for EFI system partition. In most cases it is at `/dev/sda1`. You can identify this by doing &ndash;
+
+```shell
+[root@localhost ~]# df /boot/efi
+Filesystem     1K-blocks  Used Available Use% Mounted on
+/dev/sda1         262128 63019    199109  25% /boot/efi
+
+[root@localhost ~]# sgdisk -p /dev/sda
+Disk /dev/sda: 976773168 sectors, 465.8 GiB
+Logical sector size: 512 bytes
+
+[...]
+
+Number  Start (sector)    End (sector)  Size       Code  Name
+   1            2048          534527   260.0 MiB   EF00  EFI System Partition
+```
+
+You can now create boot entry for Xen using the following command. Adjust `/dev/sda` and `-p 1`, according to where your EFI system partition is located.
+
+```shell
+[root@localhost ~]# efibootmgr -c -w -L Xen -d /dev/sda -p 1 -l '\EFI\xen\xen-4.10-unstable.efi'
+BootCurrent: ...
+Timeout: 2 seconds
+BootOrder: 0001,0002,0000,0010,0011,0012,0013,0017,0018,0019,001A,001B,001C
+
+[...]
+
+Boot0002* Fedora
+
+[...]
+
+Boot0001* Xen
+```
+
+The output indicates that a boot entry for Xen is created with a boot number of `1`. 
+
+We will now show you how to delete an existing boot entry.
+
+**Note:** Be careful when deleting boot entires that you have not created. Do not delete Fedora or any entry unless you really know what you are doing. You have been warned!
+
+```shell
+[root@localhost ~]# efibootmgr -b <boot_num> -B
+
+[root@localhost ~]# efibootmgr -b 1 -B
+BootCurrent: ...
+BootOrder: ...
+
+[...]
+
+Boot0002* Fedora
+Boot0010  Setup
+
+[...]
+```
+
+Once we have created a boot entry we can now boot into Xen. Restart machine and from the BIOS boot menu select **Xen**. You'll see Xen starting followed by Linux.
+
+After booting into Linux, you can see if have successfully booted Xen by checking out `dmesg`.
+
+```shell
+[root@localhost ~]# dmesg | grep [Xx]en
+[    0.000000] Xen: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000057fff] usable
+
+[...]
+
+[    0.000000] Hypervisor detected: Xen

+[    0.001000] Xen: using vcpuop timer interface
+[    0.001000] installing Xen timer for CPU 0
+```
+
+If you don't see Xen mentioned in your `dmesg`, then please check the previous steps.
+
+<a name="launching_xen_services"></a>
+## Launching Xen services
+
+In Dom-0, we need to launch services required by Xen. These services are managed using [`runit`](http://smarden.org/runit/) process supervisor. You can download and install `runit` RPMs for Fedora from [here](https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_tTbuxmuRzIR05wQ3E1eWVyaGs).
+
+```shell
+(ensure correct checksum on the downloaded binary)
+[root@localhost ~]# echo "10cc62ffc040c49efa0dd85cbacd70c0712a7c10c58717a376610b786bc49d19  runit-2.1.2-1.1.fc25.tar" | sha256sum -c -
+runit-2.1.2-1.1.fc25.tar: OK
+
+[root@localhost ~]# tar xvf runit-2.1.2-1.1.fc25.tar
+
+[root@localhost ~]# dnf install -y ./runit/2.1.2/1.1.fc25/x86_64/runit-2.1.2-1.1.fc25.x86_64.rpm
+
+[root@localhost ~]# pgrep -af runsvdir
+1679 runsvdir -P -H /etc/service log: ..........................................................
+```
+
+In `/opt/xen-unstable-runit` we provide two scripts to manage Xen services. 
+
+ * `setup.sh`
+ * `teardown.sh`
+
+`setup.sh` is used to setup Xen services. If you are going to be running Fedora directly without Xen, please use `teardown.sh` prior to shutting down Domain-0. This will disable launching Xen services under Fedora without Xen.
+
+Run `setup.sh`
+
+```shell
+[root@localhost ~]# /opt/xen-unstable-runit/setup.sh
+Successfully created symlinks in /etc/service directory.
+```
+
+You can verify Xen services are running correctly by doing the following &ndash;
+
+```shell
+[root@localhost ~]# ls /etc/service | xargs -L 1 -I {} sv status {}
+run: xenconsoled: (pid 29673) 115s
+run: xen-init-dom0: (pid 29672) 115s

+
+<a name="setting_up_xen_networking"></a>
+## Setting up Xen networking
+
+There are multiple ways to do networking on Xen. Two common configurations are [bridging](https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Networking#Bridging) and [NAT](https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Networking#Network_Address_Translation). Bridging is the default and most simple configuration to setup. However wireless device drivers are unable to do bridging. To overcome this limitation, we setup an internal  bridge and then use NAT to send packets externally. This setup works for both wired and wireless devices.
+
+```shell
+[root@localhost ~]# ip link show
+1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
+    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
+2: enp0s31f6: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
+    link/ether c8:5b:76:71:40:c8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:f
+3: wlp4s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP mode DORMANT group default qlen 1000
+    link/ether e4:a7:a0:93:9f:13 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:f
+```
+
+We have two devices `enp0s31f6` which is a wired ethernet device and `wlp4s0` which is a wireless ethernet device. We will use `wlp4s0` in the following example. However similar approach would also work for `enp0s31f6` device. You can also adjust the private network 10.1.1.0/24 to a non-overlapping private subnet. 
+
+```shell
+[root@localhost ~]# brctl show
+bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
+
+[root@localhost ~]# ip link add xenbr0 type bridge
+
+[root@localhost ~]# ip addr add 10.1.1.1/24 dev xenbr0
+
+[root@localhost ~]# ip link set xenbr0 up
+
+[root@localhost ~]# modprobe dummy
+
+[root@localhost ~]# ip link set dummy0 up
+
+[root@localhost ~]# brctl addif xenbr0 dummy0
+
+[root@localhost ~]# brctl show
+bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
+xenbr0          8000.d21b5c4113b7       no              dummy0
+
+[root@localhost ~]# iptables -I FORWARD -j ACCEPT
+
+[root@localhost ~]# iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING --out-interface wlp4s0 -j MASQUERADE
+
+[root@localhost ~]# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
+```
+
+With this configuration we can launch Dom-U Xen guests using the following configuration setting.
+
+```
+# Network configuration
+vif = ['bridge=xenbr0']
+```
+
+Then from within the guest, we will need to setup `eth0` interface with a static IP address in the range of 10.1.1.0/24 and gateway as 10.1.1.1.
+
+<a name="running_stage1-xen"></a>
+## Running stage1-xen
+
+Once we have Xen setup, it is fairly straightforward to run stage1-xen. We provide a script to source all the required binaries from Xen, QEMU and rkt into our path.
+
+```shell
+[root@localhost ~]# source /opt/stage1-xen/bin/source_path.sh
+```
+
+We can now download images using `rkt` and run them under stage1-xenbits
+
+```shell
+[root@localhost ~]# rkt --insecure-options=image fetch docker://alpine
+Downloading sha256:88286f41530 [=============================] 1.99 MB / 1.99 MB
+sha512-f84f971f8e01284f4ad0c3cf3efaa770
+
+[root@localhost ~]# rkt run sha512-f84f971f8e01284f4ad0c3cf3efaa770 \
+                      --interactive --insecure-options=image \
+                      --stage1-path=/opt/stage1-xen/aci/stage1-xen.aci
+```
+
+Within the container, we can see we are running as a Xen PV guest, and using 9pfs
+
+```shell
+/ # dmesg | grep [Xx]en
+[    0.000000] Xen: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000000009ffff] usable

+
+[...]
+
+[    1.605990] Initialising Xen transport for 9pfs
+```
+
+From Domain-0, we can run `rkt` and `xl` to get the details of the container.
+
+```shell
+[root@localhost ~]# rkt list

The doc is good. As for other patches in this series, I spend a couple
of words on the build without a Docker container. In this case, I would
say:

  "Build and Install Xen and stage1-xen. Please see buildroot-README.md on
  how to do it. If you follow the automatic build with Docker, then copy
  over `stage1-xen-build.tar.gz`. Extract `stage1-xen-build.tar.gz` into
  `/opt` directory."

> +There are multiple ways to do networking on Xen. Two common configurations are [bridging](https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Networking#Bridging) and [NAT](https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Networking#Network_Address_Translation). Bridging is the default and most simple configuration to setup. However wireless device drivers are unable to do bridging. To overcome this limitation, we setup an internal  bridge and then use NAT to send packets externally. This setup works for both wired and wireless devices.

-stage1-xen requires new Xen and QEMU versions at the time of writing. You are unlikely to find them already packaged with your distro. This document describes how to build and install the latest Xen and QEMU from scratch. In addition, given that CoreOS rkt is also missing from reasonably new distros such as Ubuntu Xenial Xerus, I added instructions on how to build that too. The document includes the dependencies needed for the build based on Ubuntu Xenial Xerus.

This document describes how to build and install the latest Xen and QEMU from scratch. In addition, given that CoreOS rkt is also missing from reasonably new distros such as Ubuntu Xenial Xerus, I added instructions on how to build that too. The document includes the dependencies needed for the build based on Ubuntu Xenial Xerus.

I would clarify that the build and installation method for Ubuntu and
the one for Fedora use very different approaches. I would add:

  ... "for Ubuntu Xenial Xerus and Fedora. Differently from the
  documentation for Ubuntu, the documentation for Fedora uses a separate
  Docker container for the build."

Hi Rajiv,

Thank you very much for your work on this! From an high level, I think
it is very good.

One thing I would like to ask is that you make it just a bit more
modular. I think it is OK to use a Docker container for the build, but I
would like to support users that prefer to build on their own system by
calling build/fedora/run manually, the same script used by the Docker
container.

I don't think it would be a lot of effort to change the docs and the
script to allow that but it would be of great benefit.

I'll add more comments on the patches.
