# Gentoo Linux, repair a broken disk, OpenPGP, LUKS and LVM. An orgies.
![*the gentoo penguins*](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a3/Gentoo_Penguin_AdF.jpg)
In our journey, in our adventure, in our war with the *privacy cannibals* we use to find or be found by a few good fellows. This time we use another base system operative, we start to be helped by [**Gentoo Linux**](https://www.gentoo.org/).
This is a very special, historic distribution, his goal is that there's no precompile binary and all the system is optimised for the host hardware. The result is a ultra fast operative system, like the pet that represent it: the [gentoo *rapid swimming* penguin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gentoo_penguin).
Speaking about those penguins, i want to do a little parenthesis. I want to speak about [**climate changes**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change). And i will not use correct words. **I'm furious**. Furious because we're the real plague in earth. We're hable only to speak about money, luxury and power. There's only a little problem, our world, our earth, the nature that live here, the same nature that after a very long evolution have give us, [*homo sapiens sapiens*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_sapiens), the opportunity **to be** , is rapidly dying. Because we have not decided to be, we decided to destroy.
Those little, innocent, funny penguins are dying. Because the medium temperature in their natural enviroment have changed, a lot. It's important to understand that a change in a scale of decimal have got devastating effects. I'm not an expert, but there's many documents that can proove this fact. Look a this paper:
[**IAATO ACCE Fact Sheet**](https://iaato.org/documents/10157/100441/ClimateChangeA4.pdf)
If you don't want to read, simply look at this photos that were taken in the same place with a difference of 100 years, the site is in Artic and not in Antartica but the concept is the same:
![climate change](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DW_qtWhWAAAFXlX.jpg)
## Speaking about unix, monitoring and repair SCSI disk
------
But this is an article about computer science and not about nature, because i'm an IT addicted, nature for me is a passion but i don't have the right knowledge to speak about it.
Let's start with deep configuration, the escenario is that we've got a new harddisk in our **Gentoo** host and we want to dedicate it for guest machines in a **QEMU/KVM** enviroment. But the disk it's not *new*, so we've to check it's hardware integrity; we know that is produced by [Hitachi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitachi):
```
taglio@cyberdream ~ $ lsblk --output NAME,MODEL,VENDOR |grep Hitachi
sdb Hitachi HTS72323 ATA
taglio@cyberdream ~ $
taglio@cyberdream ~ $ sudo blkid | grep sdb
/dev/sdb1: LABEL="Reservado para el sistema" UUID="128A32078A31E7BD" TYPE="ntfs" PARTUUID="410fac6e-01"
/dev/sdb2: UUID="86A83F08A83EF5F1" TYPE="ntfs" PARTUUID="410fac6e-02"
taglio@cyberdream ~ $
```
We've found it using `lsblk` and identify the `UUID` of two active partitions in it using `blkid` with root power. Now let's check errors with `smartctl`:
```

With `-x` we're printing all **SMART** and non-SMART information about the device. It's the same than using `-H -i -g all -A -l error -l selftest -l background -l sasphy` that mean:
1. `-H` prints the health status of the device.
2. `-i` *unknown.*
3. `-g all` get all **non-SMART** device settings.
4. `-A` For SCSI devices the "attributes" are obtained from the temperature and start-stop cycle counter log pages. Certain vendor specific attributes are listed if recognised. The attributes are output in a relatively free format (compared with ATA disk attributes).
5. `-l error` in `SCSI` prints the error counter log pages for reads, write and verifies. The verify row is only output if it has an element other than zero.
6. `-l selftest` in `SCSI` It identifies the test that failed and consists of either the number of the segment that failed during the test, or the number of the test that failed and the number of the segment in which the test was run, using a vendor-specific method of putting both numbers into a single byte. The Logical Block Address (LBA) of the first error is printed in hexadecimal notation.
7. `-l background` in `SCSI` he background scan results log outputs information derived from Background Media Scans (BMS) done after power up and/or periodically (e.g. every 24 hours) on recent SCSI disks.
8. `-l sasphy` in `SCSI` prints values and descriptions of the SAS (SSP) Protocol Specific log page (log page 0x18).
As we can appreciate from the selftest's results there are various error in this harddisk. Now we put the harddisk in `offline` mode and launch the `long` test:
```
taglio@cyberdream ~ $ sudo smartctl -t offline /dev/sdb
taglio@cyberdream ~ $ sudo smartctl -t long /dev/sdb
taglio@cyberdream ~ $ sudo smartctl -A /dev/sdb
```
Now we try to repair bad blocks using an other utility:
```
taglio@cyberdream ~ $ sudo emerge -av sys-block/hdrecover
taglio@cyberdream ~ $ sudo hdrecover /dev/sdb
```
recheck the `SMART` status with `smartctl -A` and verify that `Current_Pending_Sector` is now 0 and
`Reallocated_Event_Count` will have risen by the number of sectors the drive decided to reallocate. Remember that `hdrecover` will destroy data.
## New partition table, partition, cipher and LVM

![gnome Parted](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/64/GParted.png)
Now that we've hopefully repair our disk we can inizialize it:
```
taglio@cyberdream ~ $ sudo parted -a optimal /dev/sdb

```
This is the best way we can create a new `gpt` disk table and a new primary partition. We've to select the correct start and end sector using this formula:
```
taglio@cyberdream ~ $ echo "$((((34 + 2047) / 2048) * 2048))s $((625142414 - (625142414 % 2048)))s"
2048s 625141760s
taglio@cyberdream ~ $
```
Next we're going to create a `urandom` seed of `8192KiB` that will be encrypted with **OpenPGP**.
```
taglio@cyberdream ~/.gnupg/disk_seed $ dd if=/dev/urandom bs=8388607 count=1 | gpg --symmetric --cipher-algo AES256 --output luks-key.gpg
1+0 records in

taglio@cyberdream ~/.gnupg/disk_seed $ du -h luks-key.gpg
8.1M luks-key.gpg
taglio@cyberdream ~/.gnupg/disk_seed $
```
We've encrypt using the cipher `AES256`, in my machine there's a lot more available:
```
taglio@cyberdream ~/.gnupg/disk_seed $ gpg --version

Let's understand the meaning of `cryptsetup` options:
1. `--cipher serpent-xts-plain64` we've selected encryption cipher [**serpent**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serpent_(cipher)), encryption mode [**xts**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_encryption_theory#XTS) and Initial Vector (IV) generator **plain64** (*The IV offset is a sector count that is added to the sector number before creating the IV. It can be used to create a map that starts after the first encrypted sector. Usually you'll set it to zero except your device is only partially available or you need to configure some mode compatible with other encryption system.*).
2. `--key-size 512` sets key size in bits. The argument has to be a multiple of 8. The possible key-sizes are limited by the cipher and mode used.
3. `--hash whirlpool` Specifies the hash used in the LUKS key setup scheme and volume key digest for luksFormat. The specified hash is used as hash-parameter for PBKDF2 and for the AF splitter. We have select [**whirlpool**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whirlpool_(cryptography))
4. `--key-file -` got the key file from the piped result of `gpg --decrypt`
5. `luksFormat /dev/sdb1` formats `sdb1` as LUKS device
With the `luksDump sdb1` command we want to be sure that our `luksFormat` was good as you can see from the output.
Now we open the encrypted device and create a physical volume and a volume group for [**LVM**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_Volume_Manager_(Linux)).
```
cyberdream /home/taglio/.gnupg/disk_seed # echo RELOADAGENT | gpg-connect-agent
OK
cyberdream /home/taglio/.gnupg/disk_seed # gpg --decrypt luks-key.gpg | cryptsetup --key-file - luksOpen /dev/sdb1 virtualrepo
gpg: AES256 encrypted data
gpg: encrypted with 1 passphrase
cyberdream /home/taglio/.gnupg/disk_seed # ls -al /dev/mapper/virtualrepo
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Mar 8 12:04 /dev/mapper/virtualrepo -> ../dm-4
cyberdream /home/taglio/.gnupg/disk_seed # pvcreate /dev/mapper/virtualrepo
Physical volume "/dev/mapper/virtualrepo" successfully created.
cyberdream /home/taglio/.gnupg/disk_seed # vgcreate vg3 /dev/mapper/virtualrepo
Volume group "vg3" successfully created
cyberdream /home/taglio/.gnupg/disk_seed #
```
With the `RELOADAGENT` we indicate to `gpg-agent` to restart it. Next we map the crypto device /dev/sdb1 in the virtual device `/dev/mapper/virtualrepo`.
The last thing we're doing for our **QEMU/KVM** enviroment with direct **LVM** disk access is create a physical volume that will be used to store the volume group on with `pvcreate /dev/mapper/virtualrepo` and the create a volume that will be used to store the logical volumes on with `vgcreate vg3 /dev/mapper/virtualrepo`. More informations about **Gentoo** and **LVM** can be found [here](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/LVM).
# Cross compile in Gentoo to obtain a custom Raspberry Pi 3 firmware.
## ¿What is a cross compiler?
------
![a bridge crossing the ocean](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://images6.alphacoders.com/480/thumb-1920-480025.jpg)
First of all a *compiler* is a computer software that translate one *programming language* to another. To be more exact, it normally translate a **high level** source programming language code to a **low level** one. For example the `gcc` compiler translate `C` source code in `asm` (**assembler**) machine code.
A *cross compiler* is a compiler that generete machine code for a different *architecture* respect the one where the compiler is executed. The example that we will explain in this guide is **from x64 intel processor to a quad-core ARM Cortex A53 (ARMv8) cluster, classificated under the arm64 family**.
## Gentoo cross compiling environment
------
![gentoo penguin](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://c402277.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/photos/1560/images/story_full_width/HI_292876WHYMatter1.jpg?1345547525)
[The Gentoo Linux distribution](https://www.gentoo.org/) have got a script package that simplify the life of a *system administrator* speaking about the work of preparing the correct *cross compiler environment*. Its name is [**crossdev**](https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sys-devel/crossdev). These are the steps to obtain a working `arm64` compile environment.
First of all we `emerge` the package using the options:
- `-a` Before performing the action, display what will take place
then ask whether to proceed with the action or abort.
Using --ask is more efficient than using --pretend and then exe‐
cuting the same command without --pretend, as dependencies will
only need to be calculated once.
- `-v` Tell emerge to run in verbose mode.
```
cyberdream /home/taglio # emerge -av crossdev
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!

cyberdream /home/taglio #
```
Next we've got to configure an [**overlay **](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Overlays/Overlays_guide) to use with `crossdev`.
- Make correct tree directories using the [**Gentoo portage**](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Portage) instructions.
```
cyberdream /usr/local # mkdir -pv /usr/local/portage-crossdev/{profiles,metadata}
mkdir: created directory '/usr/local/portage-crossdev'
mkdir: created directory '/usr/local/portage-crossdev/profiles'
mkdir: created directory '/usr/local/portage-crossdev/metadata'
cyberdream /usr/local # echo 'crossdev' > /usr/local/portage-crossdev/profiles/repo_name
cyberdream /usr/local # echo 'masters = gentoo' > /usr/local/portage-crossdev/metadata/layout.conf
cyberdream /usr/local # chown -R portage:portage /usr/local/portage-crossdev
cyberdream /usr/local # cat << EOF > /etc/portage/repos.conf/crossdev.conf
[crossdev]
location = /usr/local/portage-crossdev
priority = 10
masters = gentoo
auto-sync = no
EOF
cyberdream /usr/local #
```
Now we're going to build the **toolchain** for the `arm64` architecture using the **stable branch** tools. Those are the options used:
- `--stable` Use latest stable tools version as default.
- ```
-t
```
Choose an architecture between:
- [alpha](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEC_Alpha)
- [hppa (parisc)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PA-RISC)
- [i386 / i486 / i586 / i686 (x86)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86) *32 bit version*

cyberdream /etc/portage/repos.conf #
```
After some time the process will end, and we have the **toolchain** ready to build the code that we want to use. In this case we're going to build the kernel and base system for a [**Rasberry Pi 3**](https://www.raspberrypi.org/).
We can check the version of our new tools:
```

## The Raspberry Pi 3
------
![a raspberry plant](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://www.urbanseedling.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Raspberry-Festival--600x600.jpg)
The **Raspberry Pi** is a [*single board computer*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-board_computer) that have sold more than 19 million of devices. It's developed in the United Kindom by the [**Raspberry Pi Foundation**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi_Foundation) that is a charity with the goal to introduce computer science in third world schools.
With its third version it's possible to run a lightweight desktop without any problem under Linux. Look at this screenshot of the [**xfce desktop**](https://xfce.org/) environment.
![raspberry pi3 linux and xfce desktop](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://raw.GitHubusercontent.com/sakaki-/resources/master/raspberrypi/pi3/demo-screenshot-small-3.jpg)
Let's begin with the compile process for this single board device.
### The Kernel
First we download the latest stable kernel from the official Raspberry Pi [**GitHub kernel repository**](https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux). At the time of writing is the `rpi-4.14.y`. We use this `git` options:
- `clone`: Clones a repository into a newly created directory, creates remote-tracking branches for each branch in the cloned repository (visible using git branch -r), and creates and checks out an initial branch that is forked from the cloned repository’s currently active branch.
- `--depth`: Create a shallow clone with a history truncated to the specified number of commits (`1`).
- `-b`: Clone a determinated branch.
```
taglio@cyberdream ~/Sources/Rpi3/kbuild $ git clone --depth 1 https://GitHub.com/raspberrypi/linux.git -b rpi-4.14.y

```
Next compile the kernel, modules, firmware and [u-boot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Das_U-Boot) stuff.
We set two variables:
- `ARCH=arm64`
- `CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-`
And we start `make` using two different options:
- ```
distclean
```
: Remove all generated files, config, various backup files and editor backup and patch files
- `bcmrpi3_defconfig` : Use prestablished config located in `arch/arm64/configs` (https://ghostbin.com/paste/cg62q)
```

Next we start the real kernel cross compile. We use the command `time` to mesure the real minutes to build our `arm64` kernel. With `-j$(nprocs)` we start many threads like many processor core we have.
```

### The Firmware
Like we've done before lets *shallow clone* [`--depth 1`] the GitHub raspberry firmware repository (after we exec two `ls` to see what we've downloaded):
```
taglio@cyberdream ~/Sources/Rpi3 $ git clone --depth 1 https://GitHub.com/raspberrypi/firmware

### The partition table
We've to insert the [**microSD card**](https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroSD) in our principal Gentoo PC to create the correct partition table for our **Raspberry Pi 3**. The layout have to be:
- [partition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning) disklabel type (*partitioning scheme*): `DOS`
- first primary partition: size `128M`, type `c` (*W95 FAT32 (LBA)*), bootable flag `a` active
- second primary partition: size `2G`, type `82` (*Linux swap / Solaris*)
- third primary partition: size all, type `83` (*Linux*)
Here is the correct commands from the Linux `fdisk` shell:
```

```
Next we format the three partition with the correct `fs` type, using those commands and options:
- `mkfs -t vfat -F 32`: used to create an MS-DOS filesystem under Linux. `-F` Specifies the type of file allocation tables used (*in this case 32 bit*).
- `mkswap`: sets up a Linux swap area on a device or in a file.
- ```
mkfs -i 8192 -t ext4
```
:
- `-i`: Specify the bytes/inode ratio. `mke2fs` creates an inode for
every bytes-per-inode bytes of space on the disk. The larger
the bytes-per-inode ratio, the fewer inodes will be created.
- `-t`: choose between [`ext{2,3,4}`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_file_system)
```
cyberdream ~ # mkfs -t vfat -F 32 /dev/mmcblk0p1
mkfs.fat 4.0 (2016-05-06)

### The filesystem
Next we have to populate the `/boot` (*1*) and `/` (*3*) partitions.
Gentoo use the concept of *stage tarballs*; they are archives containing files that will be used in the installation process. More in deep we're going to download `stage3` `arm64` tarballs that contains what the gentoo crew call [a system set](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/System_set_(Portage)); also we're going to verificate that the archive has not been manipulated during the fetch process:

```
Next we verify the `sha512sum` of the tarball using this options:
- With `awk` we print in `stdout` only the line containing the `SHA512` hash.
- The `sed` invocation is necessary to probably correct an *error* from the Gentoo team (reported [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Gentoo/comments/8d415b/errata/))
```

Let's begin to move our files in the *microSD* partitions. After creating the mountpoint `/mnt/piboot` and `/mnt/piroot`, start with the firmware, the kernel and the kernel modules.
Speaking about the `/boot` partiotion note that we delete all the `.dtb` file after copying the entire directory in the microSD card. This is why we want to use the `64 bit` version of the **device tree binary** file. A good reference that i found in the web is:
[https://events.static.linuxfound.org/sites/events/files/slides/petazzoni-device-tree-dummies.pdf](https://events.static.linuxfound.org/sites/events/files/slides/petazzoni-device-tree-dummies)
You can evaluate the output of the command `strings` in a `.dtb` file here:

Going ahead with the kernel and its related modules; we can see that we invoque `modules_install` option of `make` declaring three variables:
1. `ARCH=arm64`
2. `CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-`
3. `INSTALL_MOD_PATH="/mnt/piroot"`
You can appreciate the output of the entire command here:

Next we're going to extract the `stage3` tarball in the `/` mounted over `/mnt/piroot`.
We're going to use `tar` in an advaced mode:
- `-x`: Extract files from an archive.
- `-v`: Verbosely list files processed.
- `-j`: Filter the archive through bzip2.
- `-p`: Extract information about file permissions.
- `-f`: Use archive file or device ARCHIVE (`stage3-arm64-20180305.tar.bz2`)
- `--xattrs-include`: Specify the include PATTERN for xattr keys. (`*.*`)
- `--numeric-owner`: Always use numbers for user/group names.
Full output here:

```

### The portage latest snapshot
The next step is to install a **Portage** snapshot, a set of files updated on a daily basis informing Portage what software is available to install, what profiles are available, and so on.

Next to verify the gpg signature we're going to fetch with `gpg` the latest key from the *Gentoo Portage Snapshot signing Key (Automated signing key)*. We have to find the `Key ID` in the official page de Release Engeneer:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:RelEng#Keys
In our case is `0xDB6B8C1F96D8BF6D`.
Various options to launch with `gpg`:
- `--search`: search for keys on a keyserver.
- `1`: public key imported.
- `--edit-key`: Present a menu which enables you to do most of the key management related tasks.
- `fpr`: show key fingerprint.
- `trust`: change the ownertrust.
- `5`: ultimate trust.
- `--verify`: Assume that the first argument is a signed file and verify it
without generating any output. With no arguments, the signature
packet is read from STDIN. If only one argument is given, the
specified file is expected to include a complete signature.

### Wireless and bluetooth closed source firmware
The chipset of the wi-fi interface that come inside the single-board Raspberry Pi 3 is a **Broadcom BRM43430** and needs two files to be present under `/lib/firmware/brcm`.
The `.bin` is a [*binary blob*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_blob) closed source piece of software. We can download it from the GitHub.com repository of the [**armbian**](https://www.armbian.com/) linux distribution. `brcmfmac` is a *Full-mac* driver we can read more about it here:
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/glossary

Next we have to fetch another *bynary blob* for the bluetooth chip that is a **BCM2837** and it is connected to the [**hardware UART**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_asynchronous_receiver-transmitter). We can do it from the Raspbian [bluez-firmware](https://github.com/RPi-Distro/bluez-firmware/tree/master/broadcom) GitHub repository.

### Custom config files
We've to change some files under `/mnt/piroot` and `/mnt/piboot` to make the *first run* possible. They are:
- `etc/fstab`: static information about the filesystems.
- `config.txt`: more information at https://elinux.org/RPiconfig
- `cmdline.txt`: more information at https://elinux.org/RPi_cmdline.txt
- `etc/conf.d/keymaps`: keyboard table descriptions for loadkeys and dumpkeys.
- `etc/shadow`: shadowed password file (set `root` passwod to *raspberry*).

### First boot
`umount` and `sync` the *microSD* partition and insert it in the **Raspberry pi 3** slot.
```
cyberdream ~ # umount -v /mnt/piroot/
umount: /mnt/piroot/ unmounted
cyberdream ~ # umount -v /mnt/piboot/
umount: /mnt/piboot/ unmounted
cyberdream ~ # sync
cyberdream ~ #
```
Connect an *HDMI* cable to a monitor and a *USB* mouse and keyboard to the **Raspberry pi 3** ports.
