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.

- Get rid of the fstab file by default, using lxc.mount.entry instead.
- Set sys:mixed as the default for "sys". sys:mixed is slightly more

The read-only bind mount of /sys on top of itself is there so that

This patch adds support for checkpointing and restoring containers via CRIU.
It adds two api calls, ->checkpoint and ->restore, which are wrappers around
the CRIU CLI. CRIU has an RPC API, but reasons for preferring exec() are
discussed in [1].
To checkpoint, users specify a directory to dump the container metadata (CRIU
dump files, plus some additional information about veth pairs and which
bridges they are attached to) into this directory. On restore, this
information is read out of the directory, a CRIU command line is constructed,
and CRIU is exec()d. CRIU uses the lxc-restore-net callback (which in turn
inspects the image directory with the NIC data) to properly restore the
network.
This will only work with the current git master of CRIU; anything as of
a152c843 should work. There is a known bug where containers which have been
restored cannot be checkpointed [2].

The virtd_lxc_t type provided by the default RHEL/CentOS/Oracle 6.5
policy is an unconfined_domain(), so it doesn't really enforce anything.
This change will provide a link in the documentation to an example
policy that does confine containers.
On more recent distributions with new enough policy, it is recommended
not to use this sample policy, but to use the types already available
on the system from /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/lxc_contexts, ie:
process = "system_u:system_r:svirt_lxc_net_t:s0"

It's quite useful to be able to configure containers by specifying
environment variables, which init (or initscripts) can use to adjust the
container's operation.
This patch adds one new configuration parameter, `lxc.environment`, which
can be specified zero or more times to define env vars to set in the
container, like this:
lxc.environment = APP_ENV=production
lxc.environment = SYSLOG_SERVER=192.0.2.42
lxc.environment = SOMETHING_FUNNY=platypus
Default operation is unchanged; if the user doesn't specify any
lxc.environment parameters, the container environment will be what it is
today ('container=lxc').

Originally we kept snapshots under /var/lib/lxcsnaps. If a
separate btrfs is mounted at /var/lib/lxc, then we can't
make btrfs snapshots under /var/lib/lxcsnaps.
This patch moves the default directory to /var/lib/lxc/c/snaps.
If /var/lib/lxcsnaps already exists, then we continue to use that.
add c->destroy_with_snapshots() and c->snapshot_destroy_all()
API methods. c->snashot_destroy_all() can be triggered from
lxc-snapshot using '-d ALL'. There is no command to call
c->destroy_with_snapshots(c) as of yet.
lxclock: use ".$lxcname" for container lock files
that way we can use /run/lock/lxc/$lxcpath/$lxcname/snaps as a
directory when locking snapshots without having to worry about
/run/lock//lxc/$lxcpath/$lxcname being a file.
destroy: split off a container_destroy
container_destroy() doesn't check for snapshots, so snapshot_rename can
use it. api_destroy() now does check for snapshots (previously it only
checked for fs - i.e. overlayfs/aufs - snapshots).
Add destroy to the manpage, as it was previously undocumented.
Update snapshot testcase accordingly.

*) Booting proceeds in order of the groups specified on the command line
then ordered by lxc.start.order and name collalating sequence.
*) Default host bootup is now specified as "-g onboot," meaning that first
the "onboot" group is booted and then any remaining enabled
containers in the NULL group are booted.
