u-root
Description
u-root embodies four different projects.
-
Go versions of many standard Linux tools, such as ls, cp, or shutdown. See cmds/core for most of these.
-
Go bootloaders that use
kexecto boot Linux or multiboot kernels such as ESXi, Xen, or tboot. They are meant to be used with LinuxBoot. With that, parsers for GRUB config files or syslinux config files are to make transition to LinuxBoot easier. -
A way to create very small Go programs using busybox mode or source mode (see below).
-
A way to create initramfs (an archive of files) to use with Linux kernels.
Creating Initramfs Archives
u-root can create an initramfs in two different modes:
-
source mode includes Go toolchain binaries + simple shell + Go source files in the initramfs archive. Tools are compiled from source on the fly by the shell.
When you try to run a command that is not built, it is compiled first and stored in tmpfs. From that point on, when you run the command, you get the one in tmpfs. Don't worry: the Go compiler is pretty fast.
-
bb mode: One busybox-like binary comprising all the Go tools you ask to include. See here for how it works.
In this mode, u-root copies and rewrites the source of the tools you asked to include to be able to compile everything into one busybox-like binary.
SystemBoot
SystemBoot is a set of bootloaders written in Go. It is meant to be a
distribution for LinuxBoot to create a system firmware + bootloader. All of
these use kexec to boot. The commands are in cmds/boot.
-
pxeboot: a network boot client that uses DHCP and HTTP or TFTP to get a boot configuration which can be parsed as PXELinux or iPXE configuration files to get a boot program. -
fbnetboot: a network boot client that uses DHCP and HTTP to get a boot program based on Linux, and boots it. To be merged withpxeboot. -
localboot: a tool that finds bootable kernel configurations on the local disks and boots them. -
boot2: similar tolocalboot, finds a bootable kernel configuration on disk (GRUB or syslinux) and boots it. To be merged intolocalboot. -
uinit: a wrapper aroundnetbootandlocalbootthat just mimicks a BIOS/UEFI BDS behaviour, by looping between network booting and local booting. The nameuinitis necessary to be picked up as boot program by u-root.
This project started as a loose collection of programs in u-root by various LinuxBoot contributors, as well as a personal experiment by Andrea Barberio that has since been merged in. It is now an effort of a broader community and graduated to a real project for system firmwares.
More detailed information about the build process for a full LinuxBoot firmware image using u-root/systemboot and coreboot can be found in the LinuxBoot book chapter 11, LinuxBoot using coreboot, u-root and systemboot.
Usage
Make sure your Go version is 1.12. Make sure your GOPATH is set up correctly.
Download and install u-root:
go get github.com/u-root/u-root
You can now use the u-root command to build an initramfs. Here are some examples:
# Build a bb-mode cpio initramfs of all the Go cmds in ./cmds/core/...
u-root -build=bb
# Generate a bb-mode archive with bootloaders
u-root -build=bb core boot
# Generate a cpio archive named initramfs.cpio.
u-root -format=cpio -build=source -o initramfs.cpio
# Generate a bb-mode archive with only these given commands.
u-root -format=cpio -build=bb ./cmds/core/{init,ls,ip,dhclient,wget,cat}
-format=cpio and -build=source are the default flag values. The default set
of packages included is all packages in
github.com/u-root/u-root/cmds/core/....
In addition to using paths to specify Go source packages to include, you may
also use Go package import paths (e.g. golang.org/x/tools/imports) to include
commands. Only the main package and its dependencies in those source
directories will be included. For example:
You can build the initramfs built by u-root into the kernel via the
CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE config variable or you can load it separately via an
option in for example Grub or the QEMU command line or coreboot config variable.
A good way to test the initramfs generated by u-root is with qemu:
qemu-system-x86_64 -nographic -kernel path/to/kernel -initrd /tmp/initramfs.linux_amd64.cpio
Note that you do not have to build a special kernel on your own, it is
sufficient to use an existing one. Usually you can find one in /boot.
NOTE: you can compress the initramfs but for xz compression, the kernel has some restrictions on the compression options and it is suggested to align the file to 512 byte boundaries
shell xz --check=crc32 -9 --lzma2=dict=1MiB --stdout /tmp/initramfs.linux_amd64.cpio \ | dd conv=sync bs=512 of=/tmp/initramfs.linux_amd64.cpio.xz
You may also include additional files in the initramfs using the -files flag.
If you add binaries with -files are listed, their ldd dependencies will be
included as well. As example for Debian, you want to add two kernel modules for
testing, executing your currently booted kernel:
NOTE: these files will be placed in the
$HOMEdir in the initramfs.
u-root -files "$HOME/hello.ko $HOME/hello2.ko"
qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel /boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r) -initrd /tmp/initramfs.linux_amd64.cpio
To specify the location in the initramfs, use <sourcefile>:<destinationfile>.
For example:
u-root -files "root-fs/usr/bin/runc:usr/bin/run"
Getting Packages of TinyCore
Using the tcz command included in u-root, you can install tinycore linux
packages for things you want.
You can use QEMU NAT to allow you to fetch packages. Let's suppose, for example, you want bash. Once u-root is running, you can do this:
% tcz bash
The tcz command computes and fetches all dependencies. If you can't get to tinycorelinux.net, or you want package fetching to be faster, you can run your own server for tinycore packages.
You can do this to get a local server using the u-root srvfiles command:
% srvfiles -p 80 -d path-to-local-tinycore-packages
Of course you have to fetch all those packages first somehow :-)
Build an Embeddable U-root
You can build this environment into a kernel as an initramfs, and further embed that into firmware as a coreboot payload.
In the kernel and coreboot case, you need to configure ethernet. We have a
dhclient command that works for both ipv4 and ipv6. Since v6 does not yet work
that well for most people, a typical invocation looks like this:
% dhclient -ipv4 -ipv6=false
Or, on newer linux kernels (> 4.x) boot with ip=dhcp in the command line, assuming your kernel is configured to work that way.
Updating Dependencies
# The latest released version of dep is required:
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/golang/dep/master/install.sh | sh
dep ensure
Hardware
If you want to see u-root on real hardware, this board is a good start.
Contributions
For information about contributing, including how we sign off commits, please see CONTRIBUTING.md.
Improving existing commands (e.g., additional currently unsupported flags) is
very welcome. In this case it is not even required to build an initramfs, just
enter the cmds/ directory and start coding. A list of commands that are on the
roadmap can be found here.
