This is a complete reimplementation of lxc-clone and lxc-start-ephemeral.
lxc-copy merges the functionalities of lxc-clone + lxc-start-ephemeral.
(1) Cloning containers:
(a) as copy:
lxc-copy -n aa -N bb
(b) as snapshot:
lxc-copy -n aa -N bb -s
(2) Renaming containers:
lxc-copy -n aa -N bb -R
(3) Starting ephemeral containers:
Ephemeral containers are created and started by passing the flag -e /
--ephemeral. Whenever this flag is missing a copy of the container is created.
The flag -e / --ephemeral implies -s / --snapshot.
(a) start ephemeral container daemonized with random name:
lxc-copy -n aa -e
(b) start ephemeral container in foreground mode with random name:
lxc-copy -n aa -e -F
(c) start ephemeral container with specified name in daemonized mode:
Analogous to lxc-start ephemeral containers start in daemonized
mode per default:
lxc-copy -n aa -N bb -e
One can however also explicitly pass -d / --daemon:
lxc-copy -n aa -N bb -e -d
but both commands are equivalent.
(d) start non-ephemeral container in daemonized mode:
lxc-copy -n aa -D -e
(e) start ephemeral container in daemonized mode and keep the original
hostname:
lxc-copy -n aa -K -e
(f) start ephemeral container in daemonized mode and keep the
MAC-address of the original container:
lxc-copy -n aa -M -e
(g) start ephemeral container with custom mounts (additional mounts can
be of type {bind,aufs,overlay}) in daemonized mode:
lxc-copy -n aa -e -m bind=/src:/dest:ro,aufs=/src:/dest,overlay=/src:/dest
(4) Other options:
lxc-copy --help
In order to create a random containername and random upper- and workdirs for
custom mounts we use mkdtemp() to not just create the names but also directly
create the corresponding directories. This will be safer and make the code
considerably shorter.

When using overlay and aufs mounts with lxc.mount.entry users have to specify
absolute paths for upperdir and workdir which will then get created
automatically by mount_entry_create_overlay_dirs() and
mount_entry_create_aufs_dirs() in conf.c. When we clone a container with
overlay or aufs lxc.mount.entry entries we need to update these absolute paths.
In order to do this we add the function update_ovl_paths() in
lxccontainer.c. The function updates the mounts in two locations:
If we were to only update 2) we would end up with wrong upperdir and workdir
mounts as the absolute paths would still point to the container that serves as
the base for the clone. If we were to only update 1) we would end up with wrong
upperdir and workdir lxc.mount.entry entries in the clone's config as the
absolute paths in upperdir and workdir would still point to the container that
serves as the base for the clone. Updating both will get the job done.
NOTE: This function does not sanitize paths apart from removing trailing
slashes. (So when a user specifies //home//someone/// it will be cleaned to
//home//someone. This is the minimal path cleansing which is also done by
lxc_container_new().) But the mount_entry_create_overlay_dirs() and
mount_entry_create_aufs_dirs() functions both try to be extremely strict about
when to create upperdirs and workdirs. They will only accept sanitized paths,
i.e. they require /home/someone. I think this is a (safety) virtue and we
should consider sanitizing paths in general. In short: update_ovl_paths() does
update all absolute paths to the new container but
mount_entry_create_overlay_dirs() and mount_entry_create_aufs_dirs() will still
refuse to create upperdir and workdir when the updated path is unclean. This
happens easily when e.g. a user calls lxc-clone -o OLD -n NEW -P
//home//chb///.

arch template: Fix systemd-sysctl service
The systemd-sysctl service includes condition that /proc/sys/ has to be read-write.
In lxc only /proc/sys/net/ is read-write which causes the condition to fail and service not to run.
This patch changes the check to /proc/sys/net/ and makes the service apply only rules that are in net tree.
Instead of duplicating the cleanup-code, once for success and once for failure,
simply keep a variable fret which is -1 in the beginning and gets set to 0 on

trivially true whenever the container is a block-dev or overlay or aufs backed

overlayfs:/some/path:/some/other/path
This patch adds the function ovl_get_rootfs_dir() which parses rootfs->path by
searching backwards for the first occurrence of the delimiter pair ":/". We do
not simply search for ":" since it might be used in path names. If ":/" is not
found we assume the container is directory backed and simply return
strdup(rootfs->path).

Ignore trailing /init.scope in init cgroups
The lxc monitor does not store the container's cgroups, rather it
recalculates them whenever needed.
Systemd moves itself into a /init.scope cgroup for the systemd
controller.
It might be worth changing that (by storing all cgroup info in the
lxc_handler), but for now go the hacky route and chop off any
trailing /init.scope.
I definately thinkg we want to switch to storing as that will be
more bullet-proof, but for now we need a quick backportable fix
for systemd 226 guests.
The mount_entry_create_*_dirs() functions currently assume that the rootfs of
the container is actually named "rootfs". This has the consequence that
del = strstr(lxcpath, "/rootfs");
if (!del) {
free(lxcpath);
lxc_free_array((void **)opts, free);
return -1;
}
*del = '\0';
will return NULL when the rootfs of a container is not actually named "rootfs".
This means the we return -1 and do not create the necessary upperdir/workdir
directories required for the overlay/aufs mount to work. Hence, let's not make
that assumption. We now pass lxc_path and lxc_name to
mount_entry_create_*_dirs() and create the path directly. To prevent failure we
also have mount_entry_create_*_dirs() check that lxc_name and lxc_path are not
empty when they are passed in.

CVE-2015-1335: Protect container mounts against symlinks
When a container starts up, lxc sets up the container's inital fstree
by doing a bunch of mounting, guided by the container configuration
file. The container config is owned by the admin or user on the host,
so we do not try to guard against bad entries. However, since the
mount target is in the container, it's possible that the container admin
could divert the mount with symbolic links. This could bypass proper
container startup (i.e. confinement of a root-owned container by the
restrictive apparmor policy, by diverting the required write to
/proc/self/attr/current), or bypass the (path-based) apparmor policy
by diverting, say, /proc to /mnt in the container.
To prevent this,
1. do not allow mounts to paths containing symbolic links
2. do not allow bind mounts from relative paths containing symbolic
links.
Details:
Define safe_mount which ensures that the container has not inserted any
symbolic links into any mount targets for mounts to be done during
container setup.
The host's mount path may contain symbolic links. As it is under the
control of the administrator, that's ok. So safe_mount begins the check
for symbolic links after the rootfs->mount, by opening that directory.
It opens each directory along the path using openat() relative to the
parent directory using O_NOFOLLOW. When the target is reached, it
mounts onto /proc/self/fd/<targetfd>.
Use safe_mount() in mount_entry(), when mounting container proc,
and when needed. In particular, safe_mount() need not be used in
any case where:
1. the mount is done in the container's namespace
2. the mount is for the container's rootfs
3. the mount is relative to a tmpfs or proc/sysfs which we have
just safe_mount()ed ourselves
Since we were using proc/net as a temporary placeholder for /proc/sys/net
during container startup, and proc/net is a symbolic link, use proc/tty
instead.
Update the lxc.container.conf manpage with details about the new
restrictions.
Finally, add a testcase to test some symbolic link possibilities.
I've noticed that a bunch of the code we've included over the past few
weeks has been using 8-spaces rather than tabs, making it all very hard
to read depending on your tabstop setting.
This commit attempts to revert all of that back to proper tabs and fix a
few more cases I've noticed here and there.
No functional changes are included in this commit.
Otherwise the kernel will umount when it gets around to it, but
that on lxc_destroy we may race with it and fail the rmdir of

On shutdown ephemeral containers will be destroyed. We use mod_all_rdeps() from
lxccontainer.c to update the lxc_snapshots file of the original container. We
also include lxclock.h to lock the container when mod_all_rdeps() is called to

Newer kernels have added a new restriction: if /proc or /sys on the
host has files or non-empty directories which are over-mounted, and
there is no /proc which fully visible, then it assumes there is a
"security" reason for this. It prevents anyone in a non-initial user
namespace from creating a new proc or sysfs mount.
To work around this, this patch adds a new 'nesting.conf' which can be
lxc.include'd from a container configuration file. It adds a
non-overmounted mount of /proc and /sys under /dev/.lxc, so that the
kernel can see that we're not trying to *hide* things like /proc/uptime.
and /sys/devices/virtual/net. If the host adds this to the config file
for container w1, then container w1 will support unprivileged child
containers.
The nesting.conf file also sets the apparmor profile to the with-nesting
variant, since that is required anyway. This actually means that
supporting nesting isn't really more work than it used to be, just
different. Instead of adding
Finally, in order to maintain the current apparmor protections on
proc and sys, we make /dev/.lxc/{proc,sys} non-read/writeable.
