The containerd client is very chatty at the best of times. Because the
libcontained API is stateless and references containers and processes by
string ID for every method call, the implementation is essentially
forced to use the containerd client in a way which amplifies the number
of redundant RPCs invoked to perform any operation. The libcontainerd
remote implementation has to reload the containerd container, task
and/or process metadata for nearly every operation. This in turn
amplifies the number of context switches between dockerd and containerd
to perform any container operation or handle a containerd event,
increasing the load on the system which could otherwise be allocated to
workloads.
Overhaul the libcontainerd interface to reduce the impedance mismatch
with the containerd client so that the containerd client can be used
more efficiently. Split the API out into container, task and process
interfaces which the consumer is expected to retain so that
libcontainerd can retain state---especially the analogous containerd
client objects---without having to manage any state-store inside the
libcontainerd client.

The OOMKilled flag on a container's state has historically behaved
rather unintuitively: it is updated on container exit to reflect whether
or not any process within the container has been OOM-killed during the
preceding run of the container. The OOMKilled flag would be set to true
when the container exits if any process within the container---including
execs---was OOM-killed at any time while the container was running,
whether or not the OOM-kill was the cause of the container exiting. The
flag is "sticky," persisting through the next start of the container;
only being cleared once the container exits without any processes having
been OOM-killed that run.
Alter the behavior of the OOMKilled flag such that it signals whether
any process in the container had been OOM-killed since the most recent
start of the container. Set the flag immediately upon any process being
OOM-killed, and clear it when the container transitions to the "running"
state.
There is an ulterior motive for this change. It reduces the amount of
state the libcontainerd client needs to keep track of and clean up on
container exit. It's one less place the client could leak memory if a
container was to be deleted without going through libcontainerd.

In dockerd we already have a concept of a "runtime", which specifies the
OCI runtime to use (e.g. runc).
This PR extends that config to add containerd shim configuration.
This option is only exposed within the daemon itself (cannot be
configured in daemon.json).
This is due to issues in supporting unknown shims which will require
more design work.
What this change allows us to do is keep all the runtime config in one
place.
So the default "runc" runtime will just have it's already existing shim
config codified within the runtime config alone.
I've also added 2 more "stock" runtimes which are basically runc+shimv1
and runc+shimv2.
These new runtime configurations are:
- io.containerd.runtime.v1.linux - runc + v1 shim using the V1 shim API
- io.containerd.runc.v2 - runc + shim v2
These names coincide with the actual names of the containerd shims.
This allows the user to essentially control what shim is going to be
used by either specifying these as a `--runtime` on container create or
by setting `--default-runtime` on the daemon.
For custom/user-specified runtimes, the default shim config (currently
shim v1) is used.

This is the first step in refactoring moby (dockerd) to use containerd on Windows.
Similar to the current model in Linux, this adds the option to enable it for runtime.
It does not switch the graphdriver to containerd snapshotters.
- Refactors libcontainerd to a series of subpackages so that either a
"local" containerd (1) or a "remote" (2) containerd can be loaded as opposed
to conditional compile as "local" for Windows and "remote" for Linux.
- Updates libcontainerd such that Windows has an option to allow the use of a
"remote" containerd. Here, it communicates over a named pipe using GRPC.
This is currently guarded behind the experimental flag, an environment variable,
and the providing of a pipename to connect to containerd.
- Infrastructure pieces such as under pkg/system to have helper functions for
determining whether containerd is being used.
(1) "local" containerd is what the daemon on Windows has used since inception.
It's not really containerd at all - it's simply local invocation of HCS APIs
directly in-process from the daemon through the Microsoft/hcsshim library.
(2) "remote" containerd is what docker on Linux uses for it's runtime. It means
that there is a separate containerd service running, and docker communicates over
GRPC to it.
To try this out, you will need to start with something like the following:
Window 1:
containerd --log-level debug
Window 2:
$env:DOCKER_WINDOWS_CONTAINERD=1
dockerd --experimental -D --containerd \\.\pipe\containerd-containerd
You will need the following binary from github.com/containerd/containerd in your path:
- containerd.exe
You will need the following binaries from github.com/Microsoft/hcsshim in your path:
- runhcs.exe
- containerd-shim-runhcs-v1.exe
For LCOW, it will require and initrd.img and kernel in `C:\Program Files\Linux Containers`.
This is no different to the current requirements. However, you may need updated binaries,
particularly initrd.img built from Microsoft/opengcs as (at the time of writing), Linuxkit
binaries are somewhat out of date.
Note that containerd and hcsshim for HCS v2 APIs do not yet support all the required
functionality needed for docker. This will come in time - this is a baby (although large)
step to migrating Docker on Windows to containerd.
Note that the HCS v2 APIs are only called on RS5+ builds. RS1..RS4 will still use
HCS v1 APIs as the v2 APIs were not fully developed enough on these builds to be usable.
This abstraction is done in HCSShim. (Referring specifically to runtime)
Note the LCOW graphdriver still uses HCS v1 APIs regardless.
Note also that this does not migrate docker to use containerd snapshotters
rather than graphdrivers. This needs to be done in conjunction with Linux also
doing the same switch.
