Description Matthew Miller 2013-05-17 03:01:36 UTC
cloud-init apparently has some service to set the hostname, and apparently this runs on every boot. It's failing (see below) which delays login. I'm not actually providing any hostname metadata or anything about hostname in my userscript; shouldn't it just silently move on?

Comment 1 Matthew Miller 2013-05-17 18:21:52 UTC
I should add that I am using a fake EC2 metadata service and I haven't actually implemented the hostname bit. I'll fix that... I assume that's the problem, but cloud-init should be robust against that.

(Notably, this wasn't a problem with F18.)

Comment 2 Matthew Miller 2013-05-21 16:58:48 UTC
This is failing in EC2 as well. I'll attach a log file.

cloud-init log from f19 tc boot

This is the log from boot. Consequence is a minute delay at boot; possibly worse.

Comment 4 Matthew Miller 2013-05-21 17:19:02 UTC
Excerpt from log file:


May 21 16:53:02 localhost [CLOUDINIT] helpers.py[DEBUG]: Running config-set_hostname using lock (<FileLock using file '/var/lib/cloud/instances/i-a8ba4cc4/sem/config_set_hostname'>)

Note the 25-second pause. Running `hostnamectl set-hostname up-10-147-161-247.ec2.internal` as root from the booted system works fine.

Next in the log:

May 21 16:53:27 localhost [CLOUDINIT] util.py[DEBUG]: Running command ['hostname'] with allowed return codes [0] (shell=False, capture=True)

May 21 16:53:52 localhost [CLOUDINIT] util.py[DEBUG]: Failed to write hostname ip-10-147-161-247.ec2.internal to /var/lib/cloud/data/previous-hostname

Comment 5 Matthew Miller 2013-05-21 18:17:35 UTC
Maybe we just need to add "hostnamed.service" to the Wants line in cloud-init.service? It looks from the logs that that service is coming up _after_.

(Will try this locally...)

Comment 6 Matthew Miller 2013-05-21 18:22:33 UTC
Errr. systemd-hostnamed.service, of course.

Comment 7 Matthew Miller 2013-05-21 18:44:07 UTC
Nope. That doesn't seem to help.

Comment 8 Juerg Haefliger 2013-05-24 07:27:02 UTC
Per the documentation, systemd-hostnamed.service should come up by itself when it's needed. You can test that by stopping it and then running 'hostnamectl set-hostname foo' which will automatically start the service again.

Looking at the timing of events at boot, this seems to happen, i.e., cloud-init calls hostnamectl which brings up the service but it fails for some reason. I instrumented cloud-init and found the following:

May 24 07:09:30 juergh-193-3-019213-001 [CLOUDINIT] __init__.py[DEBUG]: Attempting to update hostname to juergh-193-3-019213-001.localdomain in 1 files

Comment 9 Juerg Haefliger 2013-05-24 07:46:38 UTC
I also hacked cloud-init to explicitly start the hostname service and then wait 10 seconds prior to setting the hostname. Still fails.

Comment 10 Juerg Haefliger 2013-05-24 07:46:59 UTC
Disabling selinux fixes the issue. Could this be related to:  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=914992

Comment 11 Matthew Miller 2013-05-24 13:19:51 UTC
Ahaha!

I had ruled that out because I booted with selinux=0 and it didn't work
either.

But apparently, cloud-init completely fails in that situation too.

So, I changed to writing "SELINUX=permissive" to /etc/sysconfig/selinux, and
that didn't work either, but on further inspection, on boot SELinux is still
in enforcing mode, ignoring that config file. (Changed it to
"SELINUX=disabled" doesn't work either.)

Sooo, I booted with enforcing=0 on the kernel command line, and now it
works.

I think maybe I need a vacation. :)

(I think probably `Requires systemd-hostnamed.service` in the systemd config is
a good idea too.)

Comment 12 Miroslav Grepl 2013-05-27 15:18:52 UTC
Any AVC msgs?

Comment 13 Matthew Miller 2013-05-27 23:45:33 UTC

Comment 14 Miroslav Grepl 2013-05-28 08:14:29 UTC
Yes.

# ps -eZ |grep initrc

Comment 15 Matthew Miller 2013-05-28 19:36:31 UTC
At what point do you need that?

Once the system is actually up, there's no output. But while it's trying,

# ps -eZ |grep initrc
system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0     434 ?        00:00:00 cloud-init
system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0     510 ?        00:00:00 hostnamectl

Comment 16 Miroslav Grepl 2013-05-29 07:11:56 UTC
Ok, we need to add a policy for cloud-init and allow systemd_hostnamed_t to dbus chat with this new policy.

Does cloud-init label /var/lib/cloud?

Comment 20 Matthew Miller 2013-05-29 14:55:54 UTC
(In reply to Miroslav Grepl from comment #19)
> Does cloud-init label /var/lib/cloud?

I don't think so? I'm afraid my selinux-fu is beginner-level only.

Comment 21 Matthew Miller 2013-05-29 18:28:25 UTC
$ ls -ldZ /var/lib/cloud
drwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:var_lib_t:s0   /var/lib/cloud

Comment 22 Garrett Holmstrom 2013-05-29 18:42:06 UTC
cloud-init frequently compares the labels of the files that it writes against the ones matchpathcon expects and runs restorecon on the ones that differ to keep it from breaking other daemons.  For instance, SSH host keys.

I notice that AVC mentions cloud_init_t and cloud_var_lib_t.  If selinux-policy recently gained a module for cloud-init then that module is probably going to need quite a few new file context rules.

Sorry, but what do I do with the file context spec?

I'm sure that's a key point. :)

Just download mycloud.te and mycloud.fc file

and run

# semodule -i mycloud.pp
# restorecon -R -v /usr/bin/cloud-init /var/lib/cloud /var/log/cloud*

re-test it and

# ausearch -m avc -ts recent

Comment 32 Matthew Miller 2013-05-31 13:33:36 UTC
Got it. Bugzilla obscures attachment filenames unless you click on "details" so that didn't help. :)

Note that /var/log/cloud doesn't exist until cloud-init runs, so I got an initial "restorecon:  lstat(/var/log/cloud*) failed:  No such file or directory". I assume that's expected in that case, but if necessary we could pre-create that file.

With the above modules, on reboot I get 

#  ausearch -m avc -ts recent
<no matches>


But the problem is still there. I'm going to attach the whole audit.log.

> How is hostnamectl started in this case?

Called with subprocess.Popen in python.

We could presumably refactor it to use the systemd-hostnamed api directly but it doesn't right now.

Comment 36 Miroslav Grepl 2013-05-31 14:27:02 UTC

Comment 37 Matthew Miller 2013-05-31 14:35:27 UTC
(In reply to Miroslav Grepl from comment #36)
> What is a path to a script which runs it?

This is convoluted. It's called from

/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cloudinit/util.py, from /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cloudinit/distros/rhel.py, which is called from /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cloudinit/config/cc_set_hostname.py.

That's a cloud-config module, so it's called from "/usr/bin/cloud-init modules --mode=config", as part of /usr/lib/systemd/system/cloud-config.service

We had to do quite a lot of interpretation of this bug in the meeting as no clear blocker rationale was given (bad Matthew!), but we read it as something like 'there's an AVC during startup and startup might be a bit slow, but it works'. On that basis it's rejected as a blocker - the system basically works, it doesn't violate criteria - but accepted as a freeze exception - it looks kind of bad and if it slows things down, is inconvenient.

If our interpretation was incorrect or you disagree with our reasoning, please re-propose as a blocker _with a clear explanation of why_.

Sorry. Re-proposing. The AVC actually completely blocks some of the cloud-init functionality, and being slow is a side-effect. That side-effect is _also_ bad, because it's an entire 60 second delay before login is possible, which basically kills the cloud image as useful for autoscaling services (that's both in EC2 and in OpenStack).

Also, since it's an issue with the image, and since we don't yet have a good mechanism for updating the image as a whole, it's not like we can fix this with a zero-day update.

I don't know what release criteria this would go under; I hadn't actually anticipated a problem like this in advance or I would have suggested that something to cover it be added. (So, yeah, I'll take that "bad Matthew" for that too.)

Boot ami-6f3b5006 (us east, x86_64) in Amazon EC2. That's the F19 beta. Releng is uploading a test candidate for the final release too, but we're waiting on that.

Alternately, look at the images in http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/19-TC2/Images/ and boot in OpenStack.

Hmmm -- those TC2 images in EC2 are failing to even get the key after a minute. I'll investigate tomorrow.

Comment 56 Adam Williamson 2013-06-11 00:37:42 UTC
Given the impact we can just argue that it's serious enough to constitute a breach of the Xen/EC2 criterion (which I was gonna cite, but the wiki seems to be falling over ATM). We'll consider it at the next blocker meeting.

Note, to propose a blocker you set Blocks: (not Depends on:), and to *re-propose* a bug that's been rejected, you have to unset the whiteboard field that indicates the rejection.

The cloud-init program takes metadata in a variety of formats and performs system-configuration actions based on that. This is up to and including a sort of "rc.local", where a shell script is executed as root and expected to be able to do just about everything to the system.

(If we want to try to constrain that further, which wouldn't necessarily be a terrible idea, that'd be a lot of work.)

Comment 60 Miroslav Grepl 2013-06-12 06:43:59 UTC
Yes, we will run it as unconfined domain. But we need to have own domain. We don't want to dbus chat with initrc_t.

Ok, there is a bug in .fc file. Try to change to

-/usr/lib/systemd/system/cloud-config-.* --  gen_context(system_u:object_r:cloud_init_unit_file_t,s0)
/usr/lib/systemd/system/cloud-init-.* --  -gen_context(system_u:object_r:cloud_init_unit_file_t,s0)

+/usr/lib/systemd/system/cloud-config.* --
gen_context(system_u:object_r:cloud_init_unit_file_t,s0)
+/usr/lib/systemd/system/cloud-init.* --
gen_context(system_u:object_r:cloud_init_unit_file_t,s0)
+/usr/lib/systemd/system/cloud-final.* --
gen_context(system_u:object_r:cloud_init_unit_file_t,s0)

and

# make -f /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile mycloud.pp
# semodule -i mycloud.pp
# restorecon -R -v /usr/lib/systemd/system/cloud*

Comment 61 Matthew Miller 2013-06-12 11:44:40 UTC
I'll try that again when I get a chance, although I should note that I tried 

/usr/lib/systemd/system/cloud-.* -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:cloud_init_unit_file_t,s0)

yesterday and it didn't help.

Comment 62 Miroslav Grepl 2013-06-12 12:16:23 UTC
Matthew,
is there a test machine where I could log in?

Comment 63 Matthew Miller 2013-06-17 13:47:46 UTC
(I sent Miroslav information for an EC2 login host via a private email.)

Any progress or further ideas?

Comment 64 Miroslav Grepl 2013-06-17 14:11:13 UTC
I added more fixes for the policy but I am not able to reproduce 

allow systemd_hostnamed_t initrc_t:dbus send_msg;

Comment 65 Matthew Miller 2013-06-17 14:50:25 UTC
Do you have an OpenStack environment you can test in? That would be ideal.

Comment 66 Miroslav Grepl 2013-06-17 14:58:04 UTC
I use the machine which you provide me.

Comment 67 Tim Flink 2013-06-17 17:41:28 UTC
Discussed at the 2013-06-12 blocker review meeting [1]:

Accepted as a blocker for F19 final due to violation of the following F19 final release criterion [2] (in the sense that many of the important use cases are effectively blocked): "The release must boot successfully as Xen DomU with releases providing a functional, supported Xen Dom0 and widely used cloud providers utilizing Xen. This does not include any issues limited to the release functioning as Xen Dom0"

Whoops, inadvertently I turned it to ASSIGNED. Moved to MODIFIED.

Sorry for the noise.

Can cloud folks check this fix with TC6? Thanks!

Fix in TC6 confirmed.

Hostname is set, cloud-init is happy and there's no SELinux AVC denials at all.
