Ubuntu builds its riscv64 port against the RVA23 profile (since
25.10), and QEMU's default rv64 CPU does not implement all profile
extensions: Ubuntu binaries die with SIGILL during init and the
kernel panics with 'Attempted to kill init'. Select the rva23s64
profile CPU (QEMU 10.1+) for riscv64 under TCG; profiles are
supersets, so baseline rv64gc rootfses run unchanged on it.
KVM mode keeps -cpu host.
qemu-system-riscv64's default machine is spike, not virt: spike has no
PCI bus, so virtio-net-pci failed with "No 'PCI' bus found", and no
16550 UART, so console=ttyS0 output went nowhere. Pass -machine virt
explicitly for riscv64; other architectures keep their emulator's
default.
Alpine does not build the linux-virt flavor for riscv64, so --kernel
without a path failed there with 'linux-virt package not found'. Scan
the APKINDEX once for both flavors and prefer linux-virt, taking
linux-lts when the virt flavor is missing.
Also store the cached kernel decompressed: riscv64 and aarch64 ship
their image gzipped (Image.gz), and QEMU's riscv -kernel loader
understands only ELF, uImage and raw images, so the gzipped image hung
at boot after the OpenSBI banner.
execve(2) does not search PATH, so `ecr alpine -- echo hi` failed with
ENOENT: the old code only used PATH as an existence check and then
still exec'd the bare name, which the kernel resolved relative to the
working directory. Pre-dates the crate split, but bare names are the
natural CLI usage so it needs to work.
Programs are now resolved execvp-style: a bare name is looked up in
the caller-composed PATH (empty components skipped rather than treated
as the cwd), paths containing '/' are used as-is with a friendlier
error than a raw ENOENT.
Add ecr::rootfs with the full rootfs lifecycle behind the library:
- RootfsCache::prepare resolves an image reference, downloads through
the tarball cache (with the OCI :latest digest freshness check) and
extracts into a scratch directory tracked by PreparedRootfs.
- PreparedRootfs::persist packs the current rootfs back into its cache
entry (compressed to match the entry's extension, symlinks and
permissions preserved) and marks it with a .provisioned sidecar.
- RootfsCache::prepare_provisioned composes both into the hot-cell
flow: provision once, and every later call sharing the cache skips
the download and the provisioning step.
extract: an "oci-" cache entry without a layers.manifest is a
persisted provisioned rootfs; extract it as a plain archive.
The CLI now drives prepare and drops its inline cache/orchestration
code and the dirs/tempfile dependencies. The binfmt check moves ahead
of the download so foreign-arch runs fail before pulling an image.
Add ecr::exec: run a command inside a prepared rootfs in fresh
user/PID/mount/UTS namespaces, with the caller composing the full
environment (ExecOptions::env), the bind targets (BindTarget, with
explicit absolute mount points inside the rootfs) and the target
architecture (binfmt_misc is verified for foreign arches).
mount::setup_mounts now takes &[BindTarget] instead of parallel
read-only/read-write path lists; chroot::run_chroot takes the envp and
a resolved working directory, and chroot::default_env composes the
previous hardcoded environment as a starting point for callers.
The CLI maps its flags onto the new API; behavior is unchanged
(overlay at /root/<basename>, rw bind at /mnt/<basename>, cwd default).
The root package becomes a virtual workspace: `crates/ecr` holds the
library (package name `ecr`) and `crates/ecr-cli` the command line
front-end, which keeps installing the `ecr` binary. No behavior change.
The library must not depend on CLI types, so mount::setup_mounts now
takes the `no_bind` flag instead of a `&Args`.
