This allows the ramdisk used in the incoming support for full-disk encryption to contain crunched binaries (much like sysinst) while booting a regular system (unlike sysinst).
How it works:
- after successful execution of /etc/rc, check the value of "init.root"
sysctl node, if it's different than "/", chroot() into its value and run
/etc/rc inside the chroot(),
- in single-user, return back to the original / file system.
Allows running with / file system on e.g., cgd(4), vnd(4) or ccd(4) volumes.
Idea first discussed with Matt Thomas, implemented by Jachym Holecek <freza
(at) liberouter.org> with some nitpicks by me. Successfully used by me for
almost a year with / on a cgd(4) volume (for more information about the setup
check ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/salo/init-chroot/ ).
- Always attempt mfs dev if missing /dev/console
- Save and run both MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV.local
- After creating the mfs dev, mknod() and freopen() /dev/console.
- If MAKEDEV is missing do not fail out early, but still create the mfs,
/dev/console.
- If we hit any errors fail out to single user.
This change _only_ affects systems booting without /dev/console.
- SHLIBDIR Location to install shared libraries if ${USE_SHLIBDIR}
is "yes". Defaults to "/usr/lib".
- USE_SHLIBDIR If "yes", install shared libraries in ${SHLIBDIR}
instead of ${LIBDIR}. Defaults to "no".
Sets ${_LIBSODIR} to the appropriate value.
This may be set by individual Makefiles as well.
- SHLINKDIR Location of shared linker. Defaults to "/usr/libexec".
If != "/usr/libexec", change the dynamic-linker
encoded in shared programs
* Set USE_SHLIBDIR for libraries used by /bin and /sbin:
libc libcrypt libcrypto libedit libipsec libkvm libm libmi387
libtermcap libutil libz
* If ${_LIBSODIR} != ${LIBDIR}, add symlinks from ${LIBDIR}/${LIB}.so*
to ${_LIBSODIR}/${LIB}.so* for compatibility.
* Always install /sbin/init statically (for now)
The net effect of these changes depends on how the variables are set:
1.) If nothing is set or changed, there is no change from the
current behaviour:
- Static /bin, /sbin, and bits of /usr/*
- Dynamic rest
- Shared linker is /usr/libexec/ld*so
2.) If the following make variables are set:
LDSTATIC=
SHLINKDIR=/lib
SHLIBDIR=/lib
Then the behaviour becomes:
- Dynamic tools
- .so libraries used by /bin and /sbin are installed to /lib,
with symlinks from /usr/lib/lib*so to -> /lib/lib*so
where appropriate
- Shared linker is /lib/ld*so
3.) As per 2.), but add the following variable:
USE_SHLIBDIR=yes
This forces all .so's to be instaleld in /lib (with compat
symlinks), not just those tagged by their Makefiles to be.
Again, compat symlinks are installed
