From 77c2f4e2068ebec3f384c826c5a99785125ff72c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maxim Cournoyer Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2021 08:55:39 -0500 Subject: services/qemu-binfmt: Use the F flag and the static output of QEMU. Fixes . Before this change, the 'binfmt_misc' entries registered for QEMU would not be usable in container contexts outside of guix-daemon (without manually bind mounting file names). For example: $ docker run --rm arm32v7/debian true standard_init_linux.go:207: exec user process caused "no such file or directory" After this change, any container can make use of the QEMU binfmt_misc registrations, as their corresponding QEMU static binaries are fully pre-loaded by the kernel. * gnu/services/virtualization.scm (): Define using 'define-record-type*'. [flags]: New field, which defaults to "F" (fix binary).
