Subject: [PATCH 11/20] Add /dev/fd and /dev/std*
Date: Thu, 04 Sep 2025 17:26:33 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250904-systemd-v1-11-2a63b790a913@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250904-systemd-v1-0-2a63b790a913@gmail.com>
This is the same as 14483e1a690c (img/app: add /dev/fd and /dev/std*),
but for the host and for vm/sys/net. While only Spectrum-provided code
should run in these VMs, third-party dependencies of Spectrum might
assume these links exist, and them being missing could cause severe
bugs. For instance, code writing to /dev/stdout could create a file in
/dev rather than actually writing to stdout.
In the host, the links are added in the initramfs. Since /dev is
created by the kernel and moved (via mount --move) from the initramfs to
the main system, adding the links in the main system is not necessary
and in fact would fail.
Also reorder the moving of /sys, /proc, and /dev from the initramfs to
the root filesystem to minimize the time that /dev and /proc are not
mounted. /proc is considered more important than /dev.
