Noah Thornton d7fc7c15a2 Update cctl to respect entrypoint and cmd (#906)
This expands `cctl run` to utilize entrypoint and cmd when present in
the OCI image, instead of always defaulting to `/bin/sh`. The user can
still provide explicit commands if necessary to override these values.

adityabagchi24 585fd8cfd2 Rename misleading blockSizeInBytes parameter to capacityInBytes in EXT4Unpacker (#789)
- Closes #787.
- The `blockSizeInBytes` parameter on `EXT4Unpacker`
  was misleading — it does not represent an ext4 filesystem
  block size.
- This change renames `blockSizeInBytes` to
  `capacityInBytes`, updates the doc comment to accurately
  describe the parameter and updates the name in the call
  sites.

Michael Crosby b438e97b93 Add cloud-hypervisor VMM backend for Linux hosts (#782)
apple/containerization currently runs containers in per-container VMs on
macOS hosts via Virtualization.framework. This adds a second VMM backend
so the same Swift orchestration layer (LinuxContainer / LinuxPod /
Vminitd gRPC contract) runs on Linux hosts via cloud-hypervisor + KVM.

**CloudHypervisor Swift package** (`Sources/CloudHypervisor/`) — a thin
client for cloud-hypervisor's REST-over-UDS API, layered on
AsyncHTTPClient. Endpoints cover VMM / VM lifecycle / hotplug (disk, fs,
net, vsock, remove-device). Cross-platform (compiles on macOS for unit
tests; consumed at runtime only by the Linux side of Containerization).

**CH backend in Containerization** — one cloud-hypervisor subprocess per
VM, gated behind `#if os(Linux)`. CHVirtualMachineManager /
CHVirtualMachineInstance mirror the VZ shape behind the existing
VirtualMachineManager / VirtualMachineInstance protocol. CHProcess and
VirtiofsdProcess manage the binaries; CHHotplugProvider handles
virtio-blk and virtio-fs runtime hotplug (with one virtiofsd per unique
source-hash tag, refcounted across containers).

**Linux host networking** — BridgeManager brings up a Linux bridge with
an IPv4 subnet and (opt-in via `--enable-nat`) iptables MASQUERADE +
scoped FORWARD rules. LinuxBridgedNetwork enslaves a fresh TAP per
container to the bridge. State is recorded under `/run/containerization`
so `cctl bridge delete` reverses exactly what create did. Bridge
teardown verifies the link kind via sysfs to refuse deleting non-bridge
interfaces.

**cctl run / bridge** — end-to-end Linux container run path (image pull,
ext4 rootfs assembly, VM boot, container exec) plus `cctl bridge
create|delete` for the host network plumbing.

**Build & dist** — `make linux-build` / `make linux-integration` build
and exercise the host side inside an apple/container `--virtualization`
dev container. `make dist-x86_64` produces a deployment tarball (cctl +
cloud-hypervisor + virtiofsd + initfs + kernel) cross-compiled from the
aarch64 dev container; pipeline documented in `docs/x86_64-build.md`.
Static-musl C deps and the Zig cross compiler are pinned by SHA256.

The host orchestrator runs as root. Per-VM runtime state lives under
`/run/containerization/ch/<UUID>` with mode 0700; UDS sockets inside are
bound with mode 0600. Vminitd's gRPC channel inherits that trust
boundary — socket-file perms are the auth.

Sandbox flags are upstream-secure by default. Two per-component opt-outs
exist for the apple/container dev-container case (where the host seccomp
profile SIGSYS-kills CH and virtiofsd):
- `CONTAINERIZATION_NO_CH_SECCOMP=1` — `cloud-hypervisor --seccomp
false`.
- `CONTAINERIZATION_NO_VIRTIOFSD_SANDBOX=1` — `virtiofsd --sandbox
none`. Each emits a one-shot `logger.warning` at process start. Legacy
alias `CONTAINERIZATION_RELAXED_SANDBOX=1` flips both. cctl spawns both
binaries with `setsid` and a minimal env allowlist (PATH / HOME /
RUST_LOG / RUST_BACKTRACE) so the parent's secrets don't leak to
children.

`make linux-integration` runs the cross-platform integration suite
against a real cloud-hypervisor VM inside the dev container. Linux runs
the cross-platform subset (`process true`/`false`/`echo hi`, virtiofs
round-trip, hotplug); the macOS suite is unchanged.

Danny Canter a1038a9841 make default goal compile on Linux (#648)
To be able to test vminitd/vmexec/linux specific packages on ci it'd be
a heck of a lot easier if `make` just worked. This should be the last
bit needed. The default goal currently compiles just fine after the
linux specific `make deps` is ran. Next in line would be adding decent
unit tests/actually getting ci setup for the linux bits.

Anthony 35f97f225d Add progress handler for rootfs unpacking (#515)
I've added an optional progress handler for rootfs unpacking so that
consumers can show progress. The Ubuntu image takes about 8 seconds to
unpack on my machine, and I'm developing an app where it would be useful
to show progress in the UI.

Total size is determined in an optional first pass that scans archive
headers. Bytes written are then reported during unpacking. The optional
first pass adds 15 (Alpine) to 115 (Ubuntu) ms to unpacking duration on
my machine, depending on image size.

Manoj Mahapatra 735dad6e5f fix: incorrect API usage for symlink entry (#577)
### Summary

`rootfs` create writes proc/self/exe as a symlink, but currently passes
the previous regular file buffer to `ArchiveWriter.writeEntry`. This
change switches that symlink entry to nil, which matches archive writer
expectations.

### Test

Archive tests pass.

Danny Canter 32cf8c4d32 vminitd: Implement minimal init process to reap zombies (#537)
There are some workloads that benefit from having a "true" init process
that reaps zombies. This change implements a minimal init as part of
vminitd and exposes an API to be able to use this init process in our
containers. signals will be forwarded, any child procs will be reaped
and the exit code of the actual workload will be propagated. The
LinuxContainer/LinuxPod API is a very simple bool to ask to use this as
our init process, and the init simply spawns whatever command you want
as a child underneath this.

```
➜  ./bin/cctl run --kernel bin/kernel.arm64 --init

PID   USER     TIME  COMMAND

Sebastian Moßburger 02bd878212 feat(registry): Add custom ca certificate override (#402)
Closely related to https://github.com/apple/container/issues/305 I would
like to override the used SSL TrustRoots via standard env variables.

This here would add this configuration and would give an entrypoint for
an implementation of 305 to provide CLI flags or similar.


This has no tests yet, as this would require setting up something like a
MITM proxy when testing against a registry.
As I am unfamiliar with the codebase, I would be willing to do this, but
would require a first nudge on where to best implement this.

To actually use this, we would need to add the allowed env variables to
the `container system start` command env filter.

Danny Canter 8b39713a00 EXT4: Optimize unpack (#378)
Optimize unpack a little by trying to reduce allocations in the hot
path. Today for every file we read the entire file into memory and then
pass the data blob to the ext4 writer to eventually be written to the
sparse file. Before being written to the sparse file the data is copied
*again* to a temp buffer before finally hitting write(2) in FileHandle.

This change moves things around such that we can pass an optional buffer
to the ext4 create() (so we can reuse a buffer for file writes), as well
as stops reading entire files into memory by passing the archive entry
itself (wrapped in a ReaderStream object albeit) down to the writer.

Testing with unpacking every platform for
`docker.io/jenkins/jenkins:lts` on an M1 Max:

Old Avg (5 runs): 7.43s

Danny Canter 056a909081 VirtualMachineManager: Rework protocol (#341)
Today this protocols create method is just odd. Our only implementation
of it immediately casts to LinuxContainer, failing if it cannot do so. I
think what might make more sense is to pass in a configuration itself
with core parameters that we expect every vmm to be able to support, and
then in a specific implementation they can continue to cast this type to
a specific one to possibly extract some extra configuration values
(rosetta for VZ for example).

This rework will also make it simpler to support a Pod type, as the vm
setup is identical and simple.

Danny Canter 636099970e LinuxContainer/LinuxProcess: Rework supplying configuration (#219)
This is a fairly large reworking, but it gets rid of something that has
plagued this since release which is the properties needing to be locked
to be Sendable compliant. This was somewhat of a copout because we
mostly know there's not a great deal of ways to have misused the setup
today, but alas we'd need to either mark the type as `@unchecked` or
just find a different route for setting the configuration. This change:

Exposes the underlying Configuration type that today only housed things
that aren't on the OCI spec. I'd love to just expose the OCI spec, but
we don't (and possibly never will) support everything on the spec, so
exposing it to be freely modified would be a bit odd. Now everything
related to the container is configured on this type, and the same goes
for execs.
