By default the wic working directory is placed under the output
directory. When invoking wic under bitbake, the wic output directory is
added to PSEUDO_PATHS_IGNORE to avoid issues with files being removed
from outside a pseudo environment (see oe-core commit ad8f5532ff).
However, wic will copy the rootfs directory into its working directory
if it needs to add or remove content before creating a filesystem image.
This copy of the rootfs directory must be tracked by pseudo in order to
keep the permissions correct in the resulting image. So we can't have
the wic working directory under a path in PSEUDO_PATHS_IGNORE unless
we like broken permissions.
To fix this the new '-w' argument to wic is used to move the working
directory away from the output directory.
Note that wic deletes the temporary working directory automatically
when it finishes creating an image so users won't normally see the
'tmp-wic' directory under WORKDIR.
Fixes [Yocto #14129]

This allows programs from HOSTTOOLS (e.g. 'install', 'rm', 'mv', etc) to
be more easily executed by wic. Without this change only programs from
an actual *-native recipe built by bitbake can be executed by wic.

To exclude content from the rootfs, wic makes a copy (using hardlinks if
possible) of the rootfs directory and associated pseudo db, then removes
files & directories as needed. However if these files and directories
are removed using the python functions os.remove and shutil.rmtree, the
copied pseudo db will not be updated correctly. For files copied from
the original rootfs, if hardlinks were used successfully when copying
the rootfs this should mean that the relevant inodes can't be reused and
so the risk of pseudo aborts should be avoided. However, this logic
doesn't apply for directories (as they can't be hardlinked) or for files
added via the '--include-path' argument (as they weren't present in the
original rootfs) and so there remains some risk of inodes being reused
and the pseudo db becoming corrupted.
To fix this, use the 'rm' command under pseudo when removing files &
directories from the copied rootfs to ensure that the copied pseudo db
is updated.

By default, wic updates the /etc/fstab in the rootfs to include details
of additional partitions described in the selected wks file. If this
modification is performed in place, other tasks which create an image
file from the rootfs directory (e.g. do_image_tar and do_image_ext4)
will pick up the modified fstab file which would not be appropriate for
those images as they do not include the additional partitions described
in the wks file. wic does undo modifications to the fstab file once it
has finished creating the filesystem image, however this leaves open a
race condition if one of the other tasks reads the contents of the fstab
file from the rootfs directory between the point where wic modifies the
fstab file and the point where wic restores the files original content.
This could be solved by adding a lockfile for tasks which use the rootfs
directory to ensure that no other such task is reading the rootfs
directory while do_image_wic is running. This would serialize several
do_image_* tasks and result in slower builds, especially for large
images. Another drawback of this solution is that it is hard to
selectively optimise - adding lockfiles to do_image_* tasks would result
in these tasks always being serialized even if no fstab modification
will take place.
An alternative solution is to copy the rootfs directory when fstab needs
to be modified. The code to do this in wic already exists as it is
needed when including or excluding content in the rootfs. This still
results in an impact on build times but the copy uses hardlinks if
possible (so little data is actually copied) and we can make selective
optimisations to improve things. The rootfs copy will only take place if
fstab modification is required (or if it was already needed to include
or exclude rootfs content). We can also follow up with further
optimisations after this commit. So this second solution is chosen.
Fixes [Yocto #13994]

The fix for [Yocto #13994] required the rootfs directory to be copied
(using hardlinks if possible) when modifying the fstab file under wic.
We can optimise this copy away for filesystems where we have the tools
to modify the contents of the partition image after it is created. For
ext2/3/4 filesystems we have the debugfs tool and for msdos/vfat
filesystems we have the mcopy tool. So for any of these filesystems we
skip the modification of the fstab file in the rootfs directory (and
skip the associated copy unless it is otherwise necessary) and update
the contents of fstab directly in the partition image.
