Jianyong Wu 35d6d86ab5 static-build: enable cross-build for image build
It's too long a time to cross build agent based on docker buildx, thus
we cross build rootfs based on a container with cross compile toolchain
of gcc and rust with musl libc. Then we get fast build just like native
build.

rootfs initrd cross build is disabled as no cross compile tolchain for
rust with musl lib if found for alpine and based on docker buildx takes
too long a time.

Kata Containers image generation

A Kata Containers disk image is generated using the image_builder.sh script. This uses a rootfs directory created by the rootfs-builder/rootfs.sh script.

Creating a guest OS image

To create a guest OS image run:

$ sudo ./image_builder.sh path/to/rootfs

Where path/to/rootfs is the directory populated by rootfs.sh.

Note

: If you are building an image from an Alpine rootfs, see the important note here.

Further information

For more information about usage (including how to adjust the size of the image), run:

$ ./image_builder.sh -h
