We now have metrics for getting detailed information about the NFD
instances running. There should be no need to pollute the node object
with NFD version annotations.
One problem with the annotations also that they were incomplete in the
sense that they only covered nfd-master and nfd-worker but not
nfd-topology-updater or nfd-gc.
Also, there was a problem with stale annotations, giving misleading
information. E.g. there was no way to remove old/stale master.version
annotations if nfd-master was scheduled on another node where it was
previously running.
Switch to fully statically linked binaries and use scratch as a base
image.
Switching to the virtually empty scratch base image means that the
default/minimal NFD image only supports running hooks that are truly
statically linked (e.g. normal go binaries that are "almost" statically
linked stop working). The documentation has been already stating this
(i.e. that only statically-linked binaries are supported) - i.e. we have
had no promise of supporting other than that. Also, hooks are now
deprecated and even disabled by default so the possibility of real user
impact should be small.
Drop the deprecated cpu-sgx.enabled and cpu-se.enabled labels and the
corresponding "raw" features. These have been replaced by
cpu-security.sgx.enabled and cpu-security.se.enabled.
Now that the NodeFeature API has been set enabled by default, the gRPC
mode will be deprecated and with it all flags and features around it.
For nfd-master, flags
-port, -key-file, -ca-file, -cert-file, -verify-node-name, -enable-nodefeature-api
are now marked as deprecated.
For nfd-worker flags
-enable-nodefeature-api, -ca-file, -cert-file, -key-file, -server, -server-name-override
are now marked as deprecated.
Deprecated flags, as well as gRPC related code will be removed in future
releases.

Add a counter for total number of node update/sync requests. In
practice, this counts the number of gRPC requests received if the gRPC

changes in NodeFeature or NodeFeatureRule objects plus updates initiated
by the controller resync period.
Add a counter for errors encountered when processing NodeFeatureRules.
Another simple counter without any additional prometheus labels -

NFD already has the capability to discover whether baremetal / host
machines support Intel TDX. Now, the next step is to add support for
discovering whether a node is TDX protected (as in, a virtual machine
started using Intel TDX).
In order to do so, we've decided to go for a new `cpu-security.tdx`
property, called `protected` (`cpu-security.tdx.protected`).

This PR aims to optimize the process of updating nodes with
corresponding features. In fact, previously, we were updating nodes
sequentially even though they are independent from each other.
Therefore, we integrated new components: LabelersNodePool which is
responsible for spininng a goroutine whenever there's a request for
updating nodes, and a Workqueue which is responsible for holding nodes names
that should be updated.

This PR aims to support the dynamic values for labels in the
NodeFeatureRule CRD, it would offer more flexible labeling for users.
To achieve this, we check whether label value starts with "@", and if

Use a separate NODE_ADDRESS environment variable in the default value of
-kubelet-config-uri (instead of NODE_NAME that was previously used).
Also change the kustomize and Helm deployments to set this variable to
node IP address. This should make the default deployment more robust,
making it work in scenarios where node name does not resolve to the node
ip, e.g. nodename != hostname.
Change the configuration so that, by default, we use a dedicated
serviceaccount for topology-updater (similar to topology-gc, nfd-master
and nfd-worker).
Fix the templates so that the serviceaccount and clusterrolebinding are
only created when topology-updater is enabled (clusterrole was already
handled this way).
This patch also correctly documents the default value of rbac.create
parameter of topology-updater and topology-gc.
Make it possible to disable kubelet state tracking with
--set topologyUpdater.kubeletStateFiles="" as the documentation
suggests.
Also, fix the documentation regarding the default value of
topologyUpdater.kubeletStateFiles parameter.

Disallow taints having a key with "kubernetes.io/" or "*.kubernetes.io/"
prefix. This is a precaution to protect the user from messing up with
the "official" well-known taints from Kubernetes itself. The only
exception is that the "nfd.node.kubernetes.io/" prefix is allowed.
However, there is one allowed NFD-specific namespace (and its
sub-namespaces) i.e. "feature.node.kubernetes.io" under the
kubernetes.io domain that can be used for NFD-managed taints.
Also disallow unprefixed taint keys. We don't add a default prefix to
unprefixed taints (like we do for labels) from NodeFeatureRules. This is
to prevent unpleasant surprises to users that need to manage matching
tolerations for their workloads.
Document built-in RDT labels to be deprecated and removed in a future
release. The plan is that the default built-in RDT labels would not be
created anymore, but the RDT features would still be available for
NodeFeatureRules to consume.
The RDT labels are not very useful (they don't e.g indicate if the
features are really enabled in kernel or if the resctrlfs is mounted).
Similar to the nfd-worker, in this PR we want to support the
dynamic run-time configurability through a config file for the nfd-master.
We'll use a json or yaml configuration file along with the fsnotify in
order to watch for changes in the config file. As a result, we're
allowing dynamic control of logging params, allowed namespaces,
extended resources, label whitelisting, and denied namespaces.

The total amount of keys that can be used on a specific TDX system is
exposed via the cgroups misc.capacity. See:
```
$ cat /sys/fs/cgroup/misc.capacity
tdx 31
```
The first step to properly manage the amount of keys present in a node
is exposing it via the NFD, and that's exactly what this commit does.
An example of how it ends up being exposed via the NFD:
```
$ kubectl get node 984fee00befb.jf.intel.com -o jsonpath='{.metadata.labels}' | jq | grep tdx.total_keys
"feature.node.kubernetes.io/cpu-security.tdx.total_keys": "31",

effectively making the minimal image as the default. Add a new "full"

"*-minimal" container image tag is provided for backwards compatibility.
The practical user impact of this change is that hook support is limited
to statically linked ELF binaries. Bash or Perl scripts are not
supported by the default image, anymore, but the new "full" image
variant can be used for backwards compatibility.

Document the usage of the NodeFeature CRD API. Also re-organize the
documentation a bit, moving the description of NodeFeatureRule
controller from customization guide to nfd-master usage page.
Deprecate the '-featurerules-controller' command line flag as the name
does not describe the functionality anymore: in practice it controls the
CRD controller handling both NodeFeature and NodeFeatureRule objects.
The patch introduces a duplicate, more generally named, flag
'-crd-controller'. A warning is printed in the log if
'-featurerules-controller' flag is encountered.
Add initial support for handling NodeFeature objects. With this patch
nfd-master watches NodeFeature objects in all namespaces and reacts to
changes in any of these. The node which a certain NodeFeature object
affects is determined by the "nfd.node.kubernetes.io/node-name"
annotation of the object. When a NodeFeature object targeting certain
node is changed, nfd-master needs to process all other objects targeting
the same node, too, because there may be dependencies between them.
Add a new command line flag for selecting between gRPC and NodeFeature
CRD API as the source of feature requests. Enabling NodeFeature API
disables the gRPC interface.
-enable-nodefeature-api enable NodeFeature CRD API for incoming
feature requests, will disable the gRPC
interface (defaults to false)
It is not possible to serve gRPC and watch NodeFeature objects at the
same time. This is deliberate to avoid labeling races e.g. by nfd-worker
sending gRPC requests but NodeFeature objects in the cluster
"overriding" those changes (labels from the gRPC requests will get
overridden when NodeFeature objects are processed).
Support the new NodeFeatures object of the NFD CRD api. Add two new
command line options to nfd-worker:
-kubeconfig specifies the kubeconfig to use for
connecting k8s api (defaults to empty which
implies in-cluster config)
-enable-nodefeature-api enable the NodeFeature CRD API for
communicating node features to nfd-master,
will also automatically disable gRPC
(defgault to false)
No config file option for selecting the API is available as there should
be no need for dynamically selecting between gRPC and CRD. The
nfd-master configuration must be changed in tandem and it is safer (and
avoid awkward configuration races) to configure the whole NFD deployment
at once.
Default behavior of nfd-worker is not changed i.e. NodeFeatures object
creation is not enabled by default (but must be enabled with the command
line flag).
The patch also updates the kustomize and Helm deployment, adding RBAC
rules for nfd-worker and updating the example worker configuration.
Drop the gRPC communication to nfd-master and connect to the Kubernetes
API server directly when updating NodeResourceTopology objects.
Topology-updater already has connection to the API server for listing
Pods so this is not that dramatic change. It also simplifies the code
a lot as there is no need for the NFD gRPC client and no need for
managing TLS certs/keys.
This change aligns nfd-topology-updater with the future direction of
nfd-worker where the gRPC API is being dropped and replaced by a
CRD-based API.
This patch also update deployment files and documentation to reflect
this change.
Add a reference to the label rule format in the NodeFeatureRule section.
Also make it explicit in the beginning of Hooks section that hooks are
deprecated.
Add a separate page for describing the custom resources used by NFD.
Simplify the Introduction page by moving the details of
NodeResourceTopology from there. Similarly, drop long
NodeResourceTopology example from the quick-start page, making the page
shorter and simpler.
Drop the following flags that were deprecated already in v0.8.0:
-sleep-interval (replaced by core.sleepInterval config file option)
-label-whitelist (replaced by core.labelWhiteList config file option)
-sources (replaced by -label-sources flag)
Introduce two main sections "Deployment" and "Usage" and move "Developer
guide" to the top level, too. In particular, split the huge
deployment-and-usage file into multiple parts under the new main
sections. Move customization guide from "Advanced" to "Usage".
This patch also renames "Advanced" to "Reference" as only that is left
there is reference documentation.
Set `cpu-security.tdx.enable` to `true` when TDX is avialable and has
