With this code path, pmbootstrap would start a distccd + sshd in the
native chroot, and configure it so it runs the cross compiler. The
foreign arch chroots would then call this cross compiler from localhost
by calling the distcc client instead of gcc.
This code has been obsoleted by the much simpler crossdirect in 2019.
Let's finally remove it.

You can either say you want all scripts, or give a list of script names,
not both. Add it this way and not with an add_mutually_exclusive_group,
as I'll add a add_mutually_exclusive_group in the next patch to only
specify --all or --fast, but having --fast with script names is fine.

Add a new command that makes running CI scripts easy. The user goes to
the git repository of choice, which has CI scripts written in a certain
format, and then runs 'pmbootstrap ci' to get an interactive selection
of which of the available scripts to run (or "all"). Specifying one or
multiple scripts on the command-line is also possible, e.g.
$ pmbootstrap ci flake8
$ pmbootstrap ci shellcheck flake8 pytest
$ pmbootstrap ci --all
pmbootstrap then either runs the selected scripts in a chroot (and
installs dependencies as defined at the beginning of the CI scripts), or
natively (with checks inside the scripts for having dependencies
installed). Running natively is needed for .ci/pytest.sh in this
pmbootstrap.git repository, as pmbootstrap can't run inside pmbootstrap.
Running natively or in chroot is defined in an "# Options: " comment
inside the script file.
Documentation for this command and how script files look like:

When running the testsuite, most logging gets written to a separate
log_testsuite.txt file. Check if it exists, and if so, instruct tail to
print its output as well. This allows immediatelly figuring out what the
testsuite is doing without manually attaching to log_testsuite.txt
(which I often did while running the testsuite).
Add the new option that will be mandatory for all devices in
community/main category. This is just a combination of anbox + iwd +
nftables + containers + zram + netboot.
While the existing options could be removed we're keeping it for now
given that also some devices with downstream kernel might find some
options useful.
Stock bootloader on these devices boots kernel (it is intended to boot
kernel, but i place secondary bootloader there) from special ChromeOS
kernel partition on special GPT which is created with cgpt utility.
This MR adds initial support for it introducing new deviceinfo options:
- cgpt_kpart - path to file to be flashed to ChromeOS partition;
- cgpt_kpart_start - offset from the start in sectors;
- cgpt_kpart_size - partition size in sectors.
For example:
deviceinfo_cgpt_kpart="/usr/share/u-boot/google-peach-pit/u-boot-dtb.img.kpart"
deviceinfo_cgpt_kpart_start="8192"
deviceinfo_cgpt_kpart_size="32768"
cgpt requires start and size values of partition, so these values
are calculated for each partition.
Reserved size and on-device installer are not yet supported.

pmbootstrap netboot command exposes the generated vendor-codename.img
rootfs through nbd interface so that device can mount it and boot
postmarketOS without having any storage medium at all.

iwd seems like a promising alternative to wpa_supplicant. It uses crypto
implementations from the kernel, so let's make kconfig check aware of
the options it needs.
Replace "args.arch_native" with the direct function call in order to
avoid passing "args" to all functions. This is a step to get rid of this
args-passed-to-all-functions pattern in pmbootstrap.
Replace "args.logfd" with "pmb.helpers.logging.logfd" in order to avoid
passing "args" to all functions that only use it to write to logfd. This
is the first step to get rid of this args-passed-to-all-functions
pattern in pmbootstrap.
With this option you can run
$ pmbootstrap kconfig migrate --arch <arch> linux-postmarketos-xxx-xxx
to perform safe kconfig upgrades between kernel releases.
"make oldconfig" will ask question for every new/renamed kconfig option,
so you have no chance to miss anything.
Before this commit, package folders were copied into the chroot one by
one in order to run apkbuild-lint on them. This logic is replaced by
mounting pmaports.git into the chroot and using a single apkbuild-lint
invocation to lint the supplied packages.
Both of these changes result in a performance improvement, especially
when linting multiple packages at once.
Before this change:
$ time ./pmbootstrap.py -q lint $(cd ../pmaports/cross; echo *) \
> /dev/null
real 0m5,261s
user 0m7,046s
sys 0m1,842s
Using the pmaports.git mount but calling apkbuild-lint in a loop:
$ time ./pmbootstrap.py -q lint $(cd ../pmaports/cross; echo *) \
> /dev/null
real 0m4,089s
user 0m6,418s
sys 0m1,219s
After this change:
$ time ./pmbootstrap.py -q lint $(cd ../pmaports/cross; echo *) \
> /dev/null
real 0m3,518s
user 0m5,968s
sys 0m0,959s
Additionally, running apkbuild-lint from the pmaports.git mount point
has the benefit that every printed violation contains a nice source
identifier à la "./cross/grub-x86/APKBUILD". This makes it possible to
differentiate between different packages even though only a single
apkbuild-lint invocation is used.

kernel is named /boot/vmlinuz now, looking at the filename will no
longer tell us what flavor it is. This now will look at
/usr/share/kernel, which has always contained the kernel 'flavor', and
since we currently only install 1 kernel these days, guarding this with
pmaports.cfg should be unnecessary. In the worst case (if there are
multiple kernel 'flavors' installed), it'll just grab the first one and
return it.
This can be used for example to sideload packages to
pmbootstrap's QEMU which is running on the port 2222
by default, as follows:
pmbootstrap sideload --host localhost --port 2222 --user user <pkg>
This adds a `--port` parameter to sideload subcommand.
If not specified, port defaults to 22.
Do not attempt to install with a filesystem that is not supported by the
initramfs code in the checked out pmaports branch.
Previously we would have increased the pmaports.cfg version and require
that new version by pmbootstrap, however this will break compatibility
with release branches where we won't roll out this feature (v20.05).
Therefore don't change the version, but add a new
"supported_root_filesystems" key to pmaports.cfg, which defaults to
"ext4".

The sideload command runs the supplied names through the pmbootstrap
buildsystem to make sure they're up-to-date, then uses scp from the host
to copy the built apks to /tmp on the phone and installs them through
ssh.
If the --install-key option is set then it will also copy over the apk
key that's used for signing the packages built by pmbootstrap in case
the postmarketOS install on the device isn't build by the same machine
as you're sideloading from.
Let tail attempt to open the file again, if it becomes inaccessible.
This is useful, when writing a reproducer that deletes pmbootstrap's
log.txt while at the same time running 'pmbootstrap log'.
(027724) [17:57:34] Done
tail: '/home/user/.local/var/pmbootstrap/log.txt' has become inaccessible: No such file or directory
tail: '/home/user/.local/var/pmbootstrap/log.txt' has appeared; following new file
(003493) [17:57:35] % cd /home/user/.local/var/pmbootstrap/cache_git/pmaports; git remote -v
This is likely to fail with the new default cryptsetup cipher of
aes-xts-plain64, as many downstream kernels used in recovery OS (like
TWRP) do not have CRYPTO_XTS set.
Add initial support for the on-device installer in pmbootstrap. Let
pmbootstrap create a regular split image, then prepare a new installer
rootfs and copy the previously generated rootfs image into the installer
rootfs. Put the installer rootfs into a new image, with reserved space.
There is more to do from here, such as disabling the generation of the
user account when using --ondev. But this requires support in
postmarketos-ondev first, so let's build that iteratively.
