While working on #192270, I noticed that only some wait_for_* helper
functions make the timeout configurable. I think we should be able to
customize it in all cases
https://git.sr.ht/~c00w/nixpkgs/tree/sdimagebtrfs/item/nixos/lib/make-btrfs-fs.nix
I made only one change which was to use `btrfs check` instead of
`fsck.btrfs` because of this warning
```
btrfs-fs.img> ++ fsck.btrfs /nix/store/6d46rc768c140asy6rjpc5rk568r36zq-btrfs-fs.img
btrfs-fs.img> If you wish to check the consistency of a BTRFS filesystem or
btrfs-fs.img> repair a damaged filesystem, see btrfs(8) subcommand 'check'.
```

This commit is a fixup for a regression introduced by
0bdba6c99b.
Before the regression, it was possible to build images without grub or a
kernel (e.g. to boot other kernels with qemu -kernel.
After the regression, such images fail to build. Since
config.boog.loader.grub.enable is false in that scenario, grub.device is
emptystring. While this happens not to be an issue of `ln`, `dirname`
fails on emptystring.
With this change, we guard both commands to only be run when grub is
actually enabled. Images with and without grub succesfully build with
this change.
New EDK2 sets up the backdoor port as a serial console, which feeds the test driver
a bunch of boot logs it can safely ignore. Do so by waiting for the message the
backdoor shell prints before doing anything else.
According to systemd.netdev manpage:
```
MACAddress=
Specifies the MAC address to use for the device, or takes the special value "none". When "none", systemd-networkd does not request the MAC address for
the device, and the kernel will assign a random MAC address. For "tun", "tap", or "l2tp" devices, the MACAddress= setting in the [NetDev] section is
not supported and will be ignored. Please specify it in the [Link] section of the corresponding systemd.network(5) file. If this option is not set,
"vlan" device inherits the MAC address of the master interface. For other kind of netdevs, if this option is not set, then the MAC address is
generated based on the interface name and the machine-id(5).
Note, even if "none" is specified, systemd-udevd will assign the persistent MAC address for the device, as 99-default.link has
MACAddressPolicy=persistent. So, it is also necessary to create a custom .link file for the device, if the MAC address assignment is not desired.
```
Therefore, `none` is an acceptable value.
When lib overrides were used, before this commit, they would not be made
available in the configuration evaluation of nixosTest's nodes.
Sample code:
``` nix
let
pkgs = import ./. {
overlays = [
(new: old: {
lib = old.lib.extend (self: super: {
sorry_dave = builtins.trace "There are no pod bay doors" "sorry dave";
});
})
];
};
in
pkgs.testers.nixosTest {
name = "demo lib overlay";
nodes = {
machine = { lib, ... }: {
environment.etc."got-lib-overlay".text = lib.sorry_dave;
};
};
testScript = { nodes }:
''
start_all()
machine.succeed('grep dave /etc/got-lib-overlay')
'';
}
```
By some miracle, before, it was possible to reconnect to the `node1` without
doing any relevant dance.
But now we are direct booting (¿), it seems like we need to do the right things.
This introduces a `check_output` flag for `execute` because we do not want to steal the
messages from the backdoor service as we might execute the kexec too fast compared
to when we will reconnect.
Therefore, we will let the message in the pipe if needed.
This change removes the bespoke logic around identifying block devices.
Instead of trying to find the right device by iterating over
`qemu.drives` and guessing the right partition number (e.g.
/dev/vda{1,2}), devices are now identified by persistent names provided
by udev in /dev/disk/by-*.
Before this change, the root device was formatted on demand in the
initrd. However, this makes it impossible to use filesystem identifiers
to identify devices. Now, the formatting step is performed before the VM
is started. Because some tests, however, rely on this behaviour, a
utility function to replace this behaviour in added in
/nixos/tests/common/auto-format-root-device.nix.
Devices that contain neither a partition table nor a filesystem are
identified by their hardware serial number which is injecetd via QEMU
(and is thus persistent and predictable). PCI paths are not a reliably
way to identify devices because their availability and numbering depends
on the QEMU machine type.
This change makes the module more robust against changes in QEMU and the
kernel (non-persistent device naming) and by decoupling abstractions
(i.e. rootDevice, bootPartition, and bootLoaderDevice) enables further
improvement down the line.
they're no longer necessary for us and will almost definitely start to
rot now (like commonmark and asciidoc outputs did previously). most
existing users seem to take the docbook output and run it through pandoc
to generate html, those can easily migrate to use commonmark instead.
other users will hopefully pipe up when they notice that things they rely
on are going away.
optionsUsedDocbook has only been around for one release and only exposed
to allow other places to generate warnings, so that does not deserve
such precautions.
with everything being rendered from markdown now we no longer need to
postprocess any options.xml that may be requested from elsewhere. we'll
don't need to keep the module path check either since that's done by
optionsJSON now.
docbook is now gone and we can flip the defaults. we won't keep the
command line args around (unlike the make-options-docs argument) because
nixos-render-docs should not be considered an exposed API.
