A note on my debugging tricks, for posterity…
Initially, I tried to reproduce the issue (in a VM) with a Guile or Bash
process that would be invoked from shepherd before ‘user-processes’ and
that would try to read from stdin:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(simple-service 'input
shepherd-root-service-type
(list (shepherd-service
(provision '(input))
(start #~(lambda ()
(pk 'tty-before?
(current-input-port)
(isatty?
(current-input-port)))
(with-output-to-file
"/dev/tty1"
(lambda ()
(system*
#$(file-append
coreutils "/bin/ls") "-l" "/proc/self/fd")
(with-input-from-file
"/dev/tty1"
(lambda ()
(pk 'tty?
(isatty?
(current-input-port)))
(system*
#$(file-append
coreutils "/bin/ls") "-l"
"/proc/self/fd")
(system* "/bin/sh"
"-c"
"echo read; read x; echo got $x; read y"))))))))))
(simple-service 'wait-for-input user-processes-service-type
'(input))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
For some reason, that did not reproduce the issue; ‘isatty?’ would
return true.
So I though I’d arrange to run ‘cryptsetup open --type luks’. To do
that, I copied the header of a real LUKS partition:
sudo dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/tmp/luks.img bs=1024 count=1025
and then came up with an OS config that would try to open than fake LUKS
device:

That’s enough to see whether ‘cryptsetup open’ manages to read the
passphrase and all.
Eventually I confirmed by testing it on the bare metal, on a victim’s
laptop.
Currently we don’t have an installation test with cleartext root +
encrypted home; we should prolly do that.
