28264febdb add smaller-than-gnu "hello world" package 2023-04-23 20:56:20 +01:00

2c4f8b823e remove jffs2boot target 
It's not needed now initramfs is compiled into the kernel.

3595e36294 workaround for huge musl binaries 
something in our configuration is causing gcc to generate binaries
in excess of 68K for "hello world". hardeningDisable seems to stop it
doing that, turning it on for s6 which writes _lots_ of binaries
but would be good to get to the bottom of this

65dfbad365 systemconfig: chown files if uid/gid > 0 2023-04-15 22:53:28 +01:00

5dd0c6e3c0 rewrite preinit as very small C program 
By using the kernel "nolibc" header to avoid requiring a C library, we
can bring the initramfs size to around 4k

This does involve a tiny bit of inline mips assembly which I'm not
sure about. gcc seems unwilling to generate the code to load $gp at
function entry of main(), so we do it by hand - but I'd rather find
out why gcc doesn't.

1cc0b13b57 rewrite systemconfig in C and link statically 
systemconfig (a.k.a "activate") is run from the initramfs. Converting
it from a shell script to an executable means it doesn't depend on
there being a shell in the initramfs

c744ef8c17 systemconfig: accept uid and gid options 
all we do with them is assert they're zero, to unbreak CI.
This code is getting rewritten anyway

4638092d3d build initramfs into kernel 
this doesn't matter for qemu, but there's no other way of
getting a hardware device to find it if the bootloader

"rootfs" describes what it is for, "squashfs" merely says
how it's implemented

(also, rootfs-as-jffs2 will soon be added)

54a1ab3529 support jffs2, with initramfs 
the jffs2 filesystem contains only /nix/store and a script which is
run in early init (initramfs) and is responsible for recreating
"traditional" directories (/bin /etc/**/* /var &c) based on the
configuration.

this is tested only in qemu so far and could use some cleanup

25d9da967c remove support for sockets in pseudofiles 
(1) we can't make them on a real filesystem except by running
something that calls socket()
(2) whyever would we want to?

98243d43da add mtdutils mkfs.jffs2 --graft option 
we'd like a bit more of the convenience of mksquashfs
(never thought I'd say _that_) for jffs2, in particular
not having to copy all the desired store paths into a
single directory just so we can create an image from them
