* pmb.helpers.run: support running processes in background
* enable QXL driver support in the linux kernel configurations so
that we can also use SPICE to connect to the VM.
QXL is a paravirtual graphics driver with 2D support
The SPICE project aims to provide a complete open source solution for remote
access to virtual machines in a seamless way.
Both DRM_QXL and DRM_BOCHS are enabled as modules.
According to [1], on Linux guests, the qxl and bochs_drm kernel modules
must be loaded in order to gain a decent performance
* qemu: add new option --spice to connect to VM using a SPICE client
If specified, 'pmbootstrap qemu' will look for some SPICE client in the
user's PATH and run qemu using the QXL driver.
Currently supported spice clients are 'spicy' and 'remote-viewer' but
adding support for more clients can be easily done.
qemu with qxl support will run on port 8077/tcp, which doesn't belong to
any well-known service and represents 'PM' in decimal.

Quite a few things use dbus (plasma, hildon, ofono, connman,
networkmanager, etc) that I think it makes sense to just have this
started by default in pmOS rather than have every device package
implement this on their own.
In case someone shows up with a use-case, where dbus by default
is not desired, please speak up. Possible solutions are in #628.
'install' does not properly handle symlinks, it copies the entire file
instead of a symlink to it. This PR uses `cp -a` to preserve symlinks.
For example, with `install`, the files libc.musl-armhf.so.1 and
ld-musl-armhf.so.1 are the same size, despite the fact that in rootfs
libc.musl-armhf.so.1 is actually a symlink to ld-musl-armhf.so.1.
According to @drebrez research, the initramfs size shrunk from
1 567 930 to 1 168 591.
This adds a custom swap file service, which allows specifying a
recommended swap size in the deviceinfo file via
`deviceinfo_swap_size_recommended`. For the N900 this defaults
to 1024 MB now. As the swap file is created in the root partition,
we have encrypted swap now (unless encryption is disabled with
`--no-fde`).
* Check kernel config
* Allow specifying multiple kernel packages, and also no packages
which defaults to scanning all kernel configs (it is super fast
anyway)
* Add the check to Travis CI
* Adjust existing kernel configs, so they pass the kconfig_check.
(We've had to put in a lot of defaults in the aarch64
linux-postmarketos configs, that's why the diff is a bit unclean.)
* Increase modified kernel pkgrels
* Add msm-fb-refresher package and initfs config
* Bump version for pmos-mkinitfs
* Create msm-fb-refresher openrc service
* kill refresher when initfs is done
* weston: upgrade to 3.0.0
* removed no_0hz_refresh_rate patch, as this is upstreamed now
* fix regression in compositor-fbdev
* weston: compile with weston-launch enabled
The following patch is required in order to replace GNU's error()
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2016-September/031179.html
When modules are surrounded with quotes, modprobe seems to be treating
them as all one module and none of them are actually loaded.
On the N900, where a watchdog module MUST be loaded on boot, this
results in the device shutting down after 30 seconds. This commit
corrects this in init.sh.in
The sdl2 package is forked from upstream Alpine and:
1) adds directfb video support
2) adds a patch to work around a compile issue when directfb is enabled
This commit disables root autologin for postmarketos-base and enabled
root autologin for postmarketos-ui-weston (since weston-launcher is not
built, weston can only be run by root).
* Initial Mozilla Flame packages
* Update dtbtool to use LineageOS upstream
* Use mkbootimg --dt flag only when deviceinfo_bootimg_qcdt is defined
* Update mkbootimg to use LineageOS upstream
* Add sparse image flashing on device-mozilla-flame
* Only support SD card install on Mozilla Flame
* Remove useless profile.sh on mozilla flame
* Package DTBs in /usr/lib/linux-mozilla-flame/
* Build and install modules in linux-mozilla-flame
* Partially resolve#338: Configfs network setup was broken
* Ignore shellcheck warning
...because if we do what shellcheck recommends here, we end up with
exactly the code which we're reverting in this PR.
Thanks to Pablo Castellano and Martijn Braam!
In postmarketOS we are now able to generate system images with the
correct configuration so that they can boot already using qemu
This commit brings the `pmbootstrap qemu` action.
This command is very handy because you don't have to set all the
qemu parameters, pmbootstrap does it for you.
* device-qemu-vexpress: Added kernel command line according to wiki
* qemu: Added workaround for image writing permissions
* qemu: Added support to launch postmarketOS in a QEMU virtual machine
- Support for emulating these architectures in QEMU: arm, aarch64, x86_84
- Generate QEMU command correctly depending no guest architecture (arm/x86)
- Run QEMU in the same architecture as the host by default
- Refactoring in pmb.parse.arch and pmb.qemu.run
- Raise exception if DTB file or system image are not present
- Display more useful information when something fails (e.g. image not found)
- Run qemu version depending on arch (host or argument), not device configured
* device-qemu-amd64: set deviceinfo_kernel_cmdline to "PMOS_NO_OUTPUT_REDIRECT"
* qemu: added --memory argument to specific guest RAM
* device-qemu-amd64: adjusted deviceinfo_kernel_cmdline (console=tty1)
* Added /etc/network/interfaces for qemu-amd64
* qemu: Added KVM support if /dev/kvm if present
* Specify separate machines for architecture
* qemu: Check if QEMU is installed instead of crashing
* Added graphics driver to qemu-aarch64
- Use arm (as used in qemu) instead of armhf (used in Alpine)
- qemu argument is -dtb
- Follow same style to build the command + arguments
* qemu: Added SSH port redirection: ./pmbootstrap.py qemu -p 2222
* Automatically compute the minimum size for the partitions
* Automatically resize the pmOS_root partition during the boot process
* Resize root partition only if there is unallocated space at the end of the device.
* Added more echos to make debugging easier while looking at the pmOS_init.log.
* Updated static_code_analysis.sh script to run shellcheck with `-x` option.
* Packaged libsparse
libsparse from the Android project provides multiple tools like img2simg
and simg2img.
These are used to split a large image for the system partition into
separate smaller chunks with sparse headers
This is required for several devices (at least bullhead, fp2 and titan)
because it fixes the "Invalid sparse file format at header magi" error
https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/issues/299
* Added new variable deviceinfo_flash_sparse (fixes#299)
Right after the system image is generated, pmbootstrap checks this
variable. In case it is true, run img2simg on it
* motorola-titan: enable deviceinfo_flash_sparse
* libsparse: use source from github: anestisb/android-simg2img
It is not that easy to use the upstream archive because everytime
you download it, the files have the current date as creation date
and that makes the file have a different checksum every download
https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/pull/303#issuecomment-319017197
Per the APKBUILD reference, , package *-install scripts should be checksummed to guard against incomplete/corrupt downloads. The postmarketos-base package is one example where this is not being implemented currently.
Having it in boot doesn't actually work, the service is being started
too early and fails. This change moves it to the default runlevel. This
change also removes "wifi-handler" since that service doesn't actually
exist.
This updates the linux-postmarketos kernel to 4.12.4, and fixes an issue
where the APKBUILD was pulling down the 4.12 source but not the 4.12.x
patches. I think that pulling down the major.minor source and a sep.
package for patches to update to the major.minor.minor(er?) release adds
unnecessary complexity since kernel.org already hosts the sources with
these patches applied (e.g. in this case the 4.12.4 source)
