Add options to build ONIE images

2018-03-22T16:14:01+00:00

Open Network Install Environment is an open image format used by networking vendor to ship a standardised image for networking white box switches. ONIE hardware takes this image at boot and a script to chain load into the final environment via kexec. We can support Debian and derivatives on such systems by packing an ISO which then gets unpacked, kexec'ed and live-booted. A base ONIE system can be tested in QEMU by building a VM following these instrunctions: https://github.com/opencomputeproject/onie/blob/master/machine/kvm_x86_64/INSTALL Once built, boot onie-recovery-x86_64-kvm_x86_64-r0.iso in QEMU/libvirt and on the console there will be the terminal prompt. Check the IP assigned by libvirt and then scp the live image (ssh access is enabled as root without password...). Then the .bin can be booted with: ONIE-RECOVERY:/ # onie-nos-install /tmp/live.hybrid.iso-ONIE.bin The implementation is inspired by ONIE's own scripts that can be found at: https://github.com/opencomputeproject/onie/blob/master/contrib/debian-iso/cook-bits.sh A new option, --onie (false by default) can be set to true to enable building this new format in addition to an ISO. An additional option, --onie-kernel-cmdline can be used to specify additional options that the ONIE system should use when kexec'ing the final image. Note that only iso or hybrid-iso formats are supported. For more information about the ONIE ecosystem see: http://onie.org Signed-off-by: Erik Ziegenbalg Signed-off-by: Luca Boccassi

UEFI: add support for Secure Boot on amd64 and arm64

2018-03-09T20:57:54+00:00

Support for UEFI Secure Boot is modelled after how it currently works in Ubuntu and on how it is going to work on Debian. A minimal bootloader, shim, is used as the first-stage and it then loads grub. Both have to be signed. shim-signed is already available in Debian so the filenames are already established, and the grub2 repository and packaging is common between the 2 distros so we can already be reasonably sure of what it is going to be. So if both are available, copy /usr/lib/shim/shim[x64|aa64].efi.signed as boot[x64|aa64].efi so that UEFI loads it first, and copy /usr/lib/grub/[x86_64|arm64]-efi-signed/grub[x64|aa64].efi.signed as grub[x64|aa64].efi. This grub2 EFI monolithic image is currently hard-coded in grub2's repository to look for a config file in efi/debian, so make a copy of the previously added minimal grub.cfg that loads the real one in that directory in both the fat32 and ISO 9660 partitions. The new option --uefi-secure-boot can be set to auto (default, enable or disable. In auto, the lack of the signed EFI binaries is intentionally left as a soft failure - live-build will simply fallback to using the locally generated non-signed grub2 monolithic EFI binary as the only bootloader. Given the difficulties surrounding the Secure Boot signing infrastructure this approach gives the most flexibility and makes sure things will "just work" once the packages are available, without the need to change anything in the configuration. This will also greatly help downstream distributions and users who want to do self-signing. The enable or disable options work as expected. Closes: #821084
