This is needed, as b1710ee2c0 made the
default agent shipped the one with policy support. However, we simply
didn't update the rootfs to reflect that, causing then an issue to start
the agent as shown by the strace below:
```
open("/etc/kata-opa/default-policy.rego", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
futex(0x7f401eba0c28, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 1
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, ~[RTMIN RT_1 RT_2], [], 8) = 0
tkill(553681, SIGABRT) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0
--- SIGABRT {si_signo=SIGABRT, si_code=SI_TKILL, si_pid=553681, si_uid=1000} ---
+++ killed by SIGABRT (core dumped) +++
```
This happens as the default policy **must** be set when the agent is
built with policy support, but the code path that copies that into the
rootfs is only triggered if the rootfs itself is built with
AGENT_POLICY=yes, which we're now doing for both confidential and
non-confidential cases.
Sadly this was not caught by CI till we the cache was not used for
rootfs, which should be solved by the previous commit.

Kata Containers
Welcome to Kata Containers!
This repository is the home of the Kata Containers code for the 2.0 and newer releases.
If you want to learn about Kata Containers, visit the main Kata Containers website.
Introduction
Kata Containers is an open source project and community working to build a standard implementation of lightweight Virtual Machines (VMs) that feel and perform like containers, but provide the workload isolation and security advantages of VMs.
License
The code is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license. See the license file for further details.
Platform support
Kata Containers currently runs on 64-bit systems supporting the following technologies:
| Architecture | Virtualization technology |
|---|---|
x86_64, amd64 |
Intel VT-x, AMD SVM |
aarch64 ("arm64") |
ARM Hyp |
ppc64le |
IBM Power |
s390x |
IBM Z & LinuxONE SIE |
Hardware requirements
The Kata Containers runtime provides a command to determine if your host system is capable of running and creating a Kata Container:
$ kata-runtime check
Notes:
This command runs a number of checks including connecting to the network to determine if a newer release of Kata Containers is available on GitHub. If you do not wish this to check to run, add the
--no-network-checksoption.By default, only a brief success / failure message is printed. If more details are needed, the
--verboseflag can be used to display the list of all the checks performed.If the command is run as the
rootuser additional checks are run (including checking if another incompatible hypervisor is running). When running asroot, network checks are automatically disabled.
Getting started
See the installation documentation.
Documentation
See the official documentation including:
Configuration
Kata Containers uses a single configuration file which contains a number of sections for various parts of the Kata Containers system including the runtime, the agent and the hypervisor.
Hypervisors
See the hypervisors document and the Hypervisor specific configuration details.
