[Packaging] Use CentOS Stream 8 to build `el8` RPM package #20918

jiasli · 2022-01-06T13:12:38Z

Description

#11204 added el8 for RHEL 8 but was reverted by #11325.

As CentOS 7's RPM (4.11.3) can't generate SHA256 digests and causes failure on FIPS-enabled RHEL system (#20719), we have to use CentOS Stream 8's RPM (4.14.3) to build.

Now we can see Payload SHA256 digest is calculated as expected:

$ docker run -it --rm quay.io/centos/centos:stream8

# curl 'https://artprodcus3.artifacts.visualstudio.com/A0fb41ef4-5012-48a9-bf39-4ee3de03ee35/29ec6040-b234-4e31-b139-33dc4287b756/_apis/artifact/cGlwZWxpbmVhcnRpZmFjdDovL2F6dXJlLXNkay9wcm9qZWN0SWQvMjllYzYwNDAtYjIzNC00ZTMxLWIxMzktMzNkYzQyODdiNzU2L2J1aWxkSWQvMTI3ODY5MC9hcnRpZmFjdE5hbWUveXVtLWNlbnRvc19zdHJlYW040/content?format=file&subPath=%2Fazure-cli-2.32.0-1.el8.x86_64.rpm' -o azure-cli.rpm

# rpm --checksig --verbose azure-cli.rpm
azure-cli.rpm:
    Header SHA256 digest: OK
    Header SHA1 digest: OK
    Payload SHA256 digest: OK
    MD5 digest: OK

coreutils is not compatible with preinstalled coreutils-single, so we don't need to install coreutils.

perl is not installed by rpm-build on CentOS Stream 8, so we should manually install it.

For unknown reason, the rpm builder on CentOS Stream 8 is extremely slow at step Processing files: azure-cli-2.32.0-1.el8.x86_64:

https://dev.azure.com/azure-sdk/29ec6040-b234-4e31-b139-33dc4287b756/_apis/build/builds/1278426/logs/507

I thought this could be related to compression:

$ docker run -it --rm quay.io/centos/centos:stream

# yum install -y rpm-build

# rpm --showrc | grep _binary_payload
-13: _binary_payload    w2.xzdio

# grep -R _binary_payload /usr/lib/rpm/
/usr/lib/rpm/macros:#%_binary_payload   w9.gzdio
/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/macros:%_binary_payload w2.xzdio

but the the result is exactly the same on centos:7, while the rpm-build on latest fedora uses zstd: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Switch_RPMs_to_zstd_compression

$ docker run -it --rm fedora:36

# yum install -y rpm-build

# rpm --showrc | grep _binary_payload
-13: _binary_payload    w19.zstdio

# grep -R _binary_payload /usr/lib/rpm/

@glaubitz, just wondering if you have any experience with the above problem (#20918 (comment))? Any insights are greatly appreciated. 😊

@glaubitz, just wondering if you have any experience with the above problem (#20918 (comment))? Any insights are greatly appreciated. blush

Did you check the process list during this step? Or maybe iotop or strace?

RPM is the actual package and YUM is the package manager (see https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/azure-cli/). YUM has been replaced by DNF in many modern systems. So RPM should be the correct name here, like DEB (package) vs APT (package manager).

As discussed in

Add support for 'dependsOn' for individual matrix jobs microsoft/azure-pipelines-yaml#420

Add cross-product matrix strategy microsoft/azure-pipelines-yaml#20

https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/support-for-dependson-for-individual-matrix-jobs/1007464

dependsOn only works for the base job (all matrixes), and it can't work on a specific matrix. Since CentOS Stream 8's rpm builder is extremely slow for some reason, TestRpmPackage will wait for it to finish, making the whole pipeline much slower.

Here we make 2 deferent jobs:

BuildRpmPackageCentOS7

BuildRpmPackageCentOSStream8

so that TestRpmPackage can start right after BuildRpmPackageCentOS7 finishes, like before.

I tried to verify the RPM on a RHEL 8.4 VM without FIPS:

$ curl 'https://artprodcus3.artifacts.visualstudio.com/A0fb41ef4-5012-48a9-bf39-4ee3de03ee35/29ec6040-b234-4e31-b139-33dc4287b756/_apis/artifact/cGlwZWxpbmVhcnRpZmFjdDovL2F6dXJlLXNkay9wcm9qZWN0SWQvMjllYzYwNDAtYjIzNC00ZTMxLWIxMzktMzNkYzQyODdiNzU2L2J1aWxkSWQvMTM1NTA2My9hcnRpZmFjdE5hbWUvcnBtLWNlbnRvc19zdHJlYW040/content?format=file&subPath=%2Fazure-cli-2.33.0-1.el8.x86_64.rpm' -o azure-cli.rpm

$ rpm --checksig --verbose azure-cli.rpm
azure-cli.rpm:
    Header SHA256 digest: OK
    Header SHA1 digest: OK
    Payload SHA256 digest: OK
    MD5 digest: OK

After enabling FIPS following https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/security_hardening/using-the-system-wide-cryptographic-policies_security-hardening#switching-the-system-to-fips-mode_using-the-system-wide-cryptographic-policies, MD5 digest: OK is no loner shown:

$ rpm --checksig --verbose azure-cli.rpm
azure-cli.rpm:
    Header SHA256 digest: OK
    Header SHA1 digest: OK
    Payload SHA256 digest: OK
$

Not sure if this is expected.

After code signing, we got

$ rpm --checksig --verbose azure-cli-2.33.0-1.el8.x86_64.rpm
azure-cli-2.33.0-1.el8.x86_64.rpm:

Complete!

This indicate the package now

has SHA256 so can be installed on FIPS-enabled machines
is correctly signed
