This should be more efficient than loading the whole thing in user space.
* gnu/build/linux-modules.scm (load-linux-module*): Use
'load-linux-module/fd' instead of 'load-linux-module'. Remove 'slurp'.
Typically 'read-pid-file/container' would fail when starting services in
containers such as BitlBee.
* gnu/build/linux-container.scm (call-with-clean-exit): Use
'primitive-_exit' instead of 'primitive-exit'.
(container-excursion*): Close OUT.
Suggested by Danny Milosavljevic <dannym@scratchpost.org>
in <https://bugs.gnu.org/29922>.
* gnu/build/linux-boot.scm (boot-system): Add #:on-error parameter and
pass it to 'call-with-error-handling'.
* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (raw-initrd): Add #:on-error and pass it.
(base-initrd): Likewise.
* gnu/build/linux-boot.scm (make-static-device-nodes): New variable.
(<device-node>): New variable.
(read-static-device-nodes): New variable.
(report-system-error): New variable.
(catch-system-error): New variable.
(create-device-node): New variable.
(mkdir-p*): New variable.

* 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.
* 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.
* gnu/build/vm.scm (make-iso9660-image): Call
'populate-root-file-system' instead of a series of 'mkdir-p' calls. Add
/etc to the arguments of xorriso.
Fixes a regression introduced in
c828969036 whereby /etc would no longer be
created as a result of calling 'mark-as-not-killable'.
This would affect ISO images because 'make-iso9660-image' does not
create /etc by default. In particular, the ISO installation image as
created by the "iso-image-installer" test would fail to boot while
creating the /root/etc/mtab symlink:
<https://hydra.gnu.org/build/2352514/nixlog/9/raw>.
* gnu/build/linux-boot.scm (mount-root-file-system): Make sure /root/etc
exists.
Overlayfs is part of the kernel, while unionfs needs FUSE. This also reduces
the size of the initrd by ca. 4.3% (487K).
* gnu/build/linux-boot.scm (mount-root-file-system): Remove optional parameter
"unionfs"; mount using overlayfs instead of unionfs; new directory layout
requied by overlayfs; update documentation.
[mark-as-not-killable]: Remove now unused function
* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (file-system-packages): Remove now unused
packages "unionfs-fuse/static" and thus unused related 'if'.
(linux-modules): Replace "fuse" by "overlay".

* gnu/system/file-systems.scm (file-system->spec): When DEVICE is a
UUID, serialize it in a way that preserves its type.
(spec->file-system): Adjust accordingly.
* gnu/build/file-systems.scm (canonicalize-device-spec): Add case for
when SPEC is 'uuid?'.
* gnu/build/file-systems.scm (mount-file-system): Rename 'spec' to 'fs'
and assume it's a <file-system>.
* gnu/build/linux-boot.scm (boot-system): Assume MOUNTS is a list of
<file-system> and adjust accordingly.
* gnu/build/linux-container.scm (mount-file-systems): Remove
'file-system->spec' call.
* gnu/services/base.scm (file-system-shepherd-service): Add
'spec->file-system' call. Add (gnu system file-systems) to 'modules'.
* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (raw-initrd): Use (gnu system
file-systems). Add 'spec->file-system' call for #:mounts.
* gnu/system/uuid.scm (uuid=?): New procedure.
* tests/uuid.scm ("uuid=?"): New test.
* gnu/build/file-systems.scm (partition-uuid-predicate)
(luks-partition-uuid-predicate): Use it instead of 'bytevector=?'.
* gnu/build/vm.scm (<partition>)[uuid]: New field.
(create-ext-file-system): Add #:uuid and honor it.
(create-fat-file-system): Add #:uuid.
(format-partition): Add #:uuid and honor it.
(initialize-partition): Honor the 'uuid' field of PARTITION.
* gnu/build/marionette.scm (wait-for-file): Add #:read parameter and
honor it.
* gnu/tests/base.scm (run-basic-test)["login on tty1"]: Use
'wait-for-file' instead of inline code.
This is used in the installation process, as the mountpoint for the target
filesystem.
* gnu/build/vm.scm (make-iso9660-image): Create /mnt within the generated ISO
image.
This mimics the functionality in the root-partition-initializer used in
creating the QEMU image. This helps when trying to run guix system init from
the generated ISO image.
* gnu/build/vm.scm (make-iso9660-image): Add support for registering closures.
Previously we'd use "sendkey P" instead of "sendkey shift-p", which had
no effect.
* gnu/build/marionette.scm (character->keystroke): New procedure.
(string->keystroke-commands): Use it.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm): Add
#:single-file-output? and pass it to 'load-in-linux-vm'.
(iso9660-image): Pass #:single-file-output? to
'expression->derivation-in-linux-vm'.
* gnu/build/vm.scm (load-in-linux-vm): Add #:single-file-output? and
honor it.
* gnu/build/vm.scm (initialize-hard-disk): Use "GuixSD" as label.
* gnu/system/install.scm (installation-os): Use "GuixSD" as label.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (system-disk-image): Use "GuixSD" or "GUIXSD" as volume
label.
