[arguments]<#:phases>[install-frontends]: Add phase.
2019-05-15vm: 'system-docker-image' provides an entry point.Ludovic Courtès
This simplifies use of images created with 'guix system docker-image'. * gnu/system/vm.scm (system-docker-image)[boot-program]: New variable. [os]: Add it to the GC roots. [build]: Pass #:entry-point to 'build-docker-image'. * gnu/tests/docker.scm (run-docker-system-test): New procedure.

2019-05-13vm: Auto-detect if inputs should be registered.Maxim Cournoyer
The default value of the argument REGISTER-CLOSURE? of the ISO9660-IMAGE, QEMU-IMAGE and SYSTEM-DOCKER-IMAGE procedures can be computed automatically, since the operating-system definition is available in its context. When the operating-system definition does not contain the GUIX-SERVICE-TYPE, do not register the closure in the database of Guix, as it takes time and doesn't serve a purpose. * gnu/system/vm.scm (has-guix-service-type): Add predicate. (iso9660-image)[register-closures?]: Use it to compute the argument's default value. (qemu-image)[register-closures?]: Likewise, and update docstring. (system-docker-image)[register-closures?]: Likewise. (system-disk-image): Do not explicit a value for the REGISTER-CLOSURES? argument of the ISO9660-IMAGE and QEMU-IMAGE procedure calls, so that its default value is used instead. * guix/scripts/system.scm (system-derivation-for-action): Do not explicit a value for the REGISTER-CLOSURES? argument of the SYSTEM-DOCKER-IMAGE procedure call, so that its default value is used instead.
2019-05-01vm: Build ISOs and VM images in a UTF-8 environment.Ludovic Courtès
Fixes a bug whereby building an image containing non-ASCII file names would fail due to improper decoding of file names. * gnu/system/vm.scm (iso9660-image, qemu-image): Set GUIX_LOCPATH and call 'setlocale' in the build environment.
2019-04-25vm: 'system-disk-image' no longer requires the OS to define the "/" file system.Ludovic Courtès
Previously 'guix system disk-image' would fail if the OS didn't define a "/" file system, even though it actually overrides that file system. * gnu/system/vm.scm (system-disk-image)[root-uuid]: Turn into a procedure. Call 'root-uuid' on a variant of OS with a "/" file system and inherit from that.
2019-04-14vm: Do not mount /xchg with "cache=loose".Ludovic Courtès
Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/33639>. * gnu/system/vm.scm (%linux-vm-file-systems): Remove "cache=loose" for /xchg. (system-docker-image): Remove 'sync' call, now unneeded, and which was probably insufficient.

* gnu/system/vm.scm (virtualized-operating-system): Inherit from the bootloader of OS.
2019-03-22vm: 'system-docker-image' calls 'sync' before rebooting.Ludovic Courtès

2018-11-21linux-initrd: 'expression->initrd' returns the complete file name.Ludovic Courtès
Previously 'expression->initrd' would return the directory that contains the 'initrd' file; now it returns the complete file name for that file. * gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (expression->initrd)[builder]: Change output file name to "initrd.cpio.gz". Tail-call 'file-append' to return the complete file name. * gnu/system.scm (operating-system-initrd-file): Remove 'file-append' call. * gnu/build/linux-initrd.scm (write-cpio-archive): Check whether OUTPUT already has the ".gz" suffix; rename if before invoking GZIP if it does, and otherwise after. * gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm)[builder]: Do not append "/initrd" to #$initrd.

2018-11-18linux-initrd: Return file-like objects instead of monadic values.Ludovic Courtès
This is an incompatible change visible to users via the 'initrd' field of 'operating-system'. However, assuming the user's 'initrd' value tail-calls to 'raw-initrd' or 'base-initrd', the switch to non-monadic style is invisible. * gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (expression->initrd): Use 'computed-file' instead of 'gexp->derivation'. (raw-initrd, base-initrd): Adjust docstring to mention non-monadic return. * gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm): Adjust accordingly. * gnu/system.scm (operating-system-directory-base-entries) (operating-system-initrd-file) (operating-system-boot-parameters): Adjust accordingly. * doc/guix.texi (operating-system Reference) (Initial RAM Disk): Update.

(operating-system-bootcfg): Adjust accordingly. (operating-system-boot-parameters-file): Likewise. * gnu/system/vm.scm (system-qemu-image/shared-store-script): Remove 'os-drv' variable. Adjust call to 'operating-system-kernel-arguments'.
2018-09-23vm: Use "cache=loose" for all 9p mounts.Ludovic Courtès
This significantly improves read throughput when running things like "guix hash -r ...". * gnu/system/vm.scm (%linux-vm-file-systems): Add 'flags' for "store". Add "cache=loose" to every file system.
2018-09-23vm: Disable deduplication for 'guix system vm-image'.Ludovic Courtès

2018-03-03linux-initrd: Add virtio modules to '%base-initrd-modules'.Ludovic Courtès
Fixes a regression in installation tests, whereby 'guix system init' would report that virtio modules are missing for the target devices. In practice virtio modules were always available since 'base-initrd' was always called with #:virtio? #t. This commit simply moves them to '%base-initrd-modules' so that 'guix system' knows they're available. Reported by Danny Milosavljevic <dannym@scratchpost.org> at <https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=30629#112>. * gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (default-initrd-modules): Add virtio modules.

2018-03-03vm: Add missing modules to the 'expression->derivation-in-linux-vm' initrd.Ludovic Courtès
Fixes a regression introduced in bc499b113a598c0e7863da9887a4133472985713, whereby the default initrd used by 'expression->derivation-in-linux-vm' would lack all the usual modules: virtio, nls_iso8859-1, etc. * gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm): Pass #:linux-modules to 'base-initrd'.
2018-01-19gnu: Consistently Write ‘file system(s)’.Tobias Geerinckx-Rice

2018-01-07vm: 'vm-image' images refer to the root file system by UUID.Ludovic Courtès
This avoids the hard-coded "/dev/sda1", which only made sense when the image is run with "qemu-system-x86_64 -hda", not when it's passed to Xen, etc. Reported by Andreas Enge <andreas@enge.fr>. * gnu/system/vm.scm (system-qemu-image): Define 'root-uuid', use it as the 'device' field for "/", and pass it to 'qemu-image'.
2017-12-18vm: Pass the host's /dev/urandom to the guest at /dev/hwrng.Leo Famulari
* gnu/build/vm.scm (load-in-linux-vm): Use QEMU's virtio-rng-pci. * gnu/system/vm.scm (common-qemu-options): Likewise.

* gnu/bootloader/extlinux.scm (install-extlinux): Factorize bootloader writing in a new procedure write-file-on-device defined in (gnu build bootloader). * gnu/build/bootloader.scm: New file. * gnu/local.mk (GNU_SYSTEM_MODULES): Add new file. * gnu/system/vm.scm (qemu-img): Adapt to import and use (gnu build bootloader) module during derivation building. * gnu/scripts/system.scm (bootloader-installer-derivation): Ditto.
2017-12-15vm: Adapt qemu command to ARM.Mathieu Othacehe
* gnu/build/vm.scm (load-in-linux-vm): New argument #:target-arm32. Use it to adapt command for qemu-system-arm. This implies to choose a machine ("virt"), use the correct console port "ttyAMA0", disable KVM use that is buggy on some ARM boards (Odroid XU4 for example) and use user mode network stack instead of NIC. Gather all those options in a new variable "arch-specific-flags". * gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm): Pass to load-in-linux-vm "#:target-arm32?" argument.
