The general approach of kernel-install was that each plugin would drop in some
files into the entry directory. But this doesn't scale well, because if we have
multiple initrd generators, or multiple initrds, each generator would need to
recreate the logic to put the generated files in the right place.
Also, effective cleanup is impossible if anything goes wrong on the way, so we
could end up with unused files in $BOOT.
So let's invert the process: plugins drop files into $KERNEL_INSTALL_STAGING_AREA,
and at the end 90-loaderentry.install DTRT with those files.
This allow new plugins like 50-mkosi-initrd.install to be significantly simpler.
kernel-install would continue after errors… We don't want this, as it
makes the results totally unpredicatable. If we didn't install the kernel
or didn't do some important part of the setup, let's just return an error
and let the user deal with it.
When looking at output, the error was often hard to distinguish, esp.
with -v. Add "Error:" everywhere to make the output easier to parse.
The idea is that when not set, we do whatever we did in the past. But
with a new setting of initrd_generator=mkosi-initrd, mkosi-initrd will
generate an initrd.
This restores the preference order from before 9e82a74. The code
previous to that change 'preferred' /boot over /boot/efi; that
commit changed it to check /boot/efi before checking /boot.
Changing this precedence could (and did, for me) have unexpected
effects - it seems safer to leave it how it was.

341890de86 made "bootctl install" create
ESP\MID, in preparation of cf73f65089 that
followed it and created 00-entry-directory.install to make ESP\MID\KVER
if ESP\MID existed ‒ this meant that "bootctl install" followed by
"kernel-install $(uname -r) /boot/vml*$(uname -r) /boot/ini*$(uname -r)"
actually installed the kernel correctly.
Later, 31e57550b5 reverted the first
commit, meaning, that now running those two commands first installs
sd-boot, but then does nothing. Everything appears to work right,
nothing errors out, but no changes are actually done. To the untrained
eye (all of them), even running with -v appears to work:
all the hooks are run, as is depmod, but, again, nothing happens.
This is horrible. Nothing in either manpage suggests what to do
(nor should it, really), but the user is left with a bootloader that
appears fully funxional, since nothing suggests a failure in the output,
but with an unbootable machine, /no way to boot it/, even if they drop
to an EFI shell, since the boot bundle isn't present on the ESP,
and no real recourse even if they boot into a recovery system,
apart from installing like GRUB or whatever.
00- is purely instrumentation for 90-,
and separating one from the other has led to downstream dissatisfaxion
(indeed, the last mentioned commit cited cited exactly that as the
reversion reason), while creating $ENTRY_DIR_ABS is only required
for bootloaders using the BLS, and shouldn't itself toggle anything.
To that end, introduce an /{e,l}/k/install.conf file that allows
overriding the detected layout, and detect it as "bls" if
$BOOT_ROOT/$MACHINE_ID ($ENTRY_DIR_ABS/..) exists, otherwise "other" ‒
if a user wishes to select a different bootloader,
like GRUB, they (or, indeed, the postinst script) can specify
layout=grub. This disables 90- and $ENTRY_DIR_ABS manipulation.
If KERNEL_INSTALL_MACHINE_ID is defined in /etc/machine-info, prefer it
over the machine ID from /etc/machine-id. If a machine ID is defined in
neither /etc/machine-info nor in /etc/machine-id, generate a new UUID
and try to write it to /etc/machine-info as KERNEL_INSTALL_MACHINE_ID
and use it as the machine ID if writing it to /etc/machine-info succeeds.
In practice, this means we have a more robust fallback if there's no
machine ID in /etc/machine-id than just using "Default" and allows
image builders to force kernel-install to use KERNEL_INSTALL_MACHINE_ID
by simply writing it to /etc/machine-info themselves.
This was an undocumented change in behavior introduced by
9e82a74cb0. Previously, we only
checked for "Default" if we didn't find a machine ID. Let's make
sure we keep the previous behavior intact.
The previous approach, to strip "$MACHINE_ID/$KERNEL_VERSION" from the
end, is pretty bad and encourages this for users, which makes them
inflexible to this being modified locally
Confer https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/19006#issuecomment-800234022:
On some systems it's the admin's explicit choice not to to have the
machine ID leak into the ESP
On some systems the machine ID is transient, generated at every boot,
and hence should not be written to the ESP
The manpage says that exiting 77 is the same as exiting 0,
then skipping all other hooks, but the behaviour heretofor
was to exit 0, skip all, and behave as if all hooks exited 0
This reverts commit 5ffa2eaa54.
It seems that if install_dir is not specified, meson decides install path
based on file type, and non-executable binary files are installed under
/usr/share.
kernel-install is a script. So, we need to set install_dir argument
explicitly.
Fixes#18754.
Follow-up for 1cdbff1c84.
After the commit 1cdbff1c84, each entry .conf contains
redundant slash like the following:
```
$ cat xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-5.9.8-200.fc33.x86_64.conf
title Fedora 33 (Thirty Three)
version 5.9.8-200.fc33.x86_64
machine-id xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
options root=/dev/nvme0n1p2 ro rootflags=subvol=system/fedora selinux=0 audit=0
linux //xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/5.9.8-200.fc33.x86_64/linux
initrd //xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/5.9.8-200.fc33.x86_64/initrd
```
This is useful for development where overwriting files out side
the configured prefix will affect the host as well as stateless
systems such as NixOS that don't let packages install to /etc but handle
configuration on their own.
Alternative to https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/17501
tested with:
$ mkdir inst build && cd build
$ meson \
-Dcreate-log-dirs=false \
-Dsysvrcnd-path=$(realpath ../inst)/etc/rc.d \
-Dsysvinit-path=$(realpath ../inst)/etc/init.d \
-Drootprefix=$(realpath ../inst) \
-Dinstall-sysconfdir=false \
--prefix=$(realpath ../inst) ..
$ ninja install
"Linux" conflicts /efi/Linux when /efi is the install location.
/efi/Linux is already reserved for unified kernel images so we can't use
it for type #1 images. Instead, we use "Default".
Similarly to "setup" vs. "set up", "fallback" is a noun, and "fall back"
is the verb. (This is pretty clear when we construct a sentence in the
present continous: "we are falling back" not "we are fallbacking").
I happen to have a machine where /boot is not a separate mountpoint,
but rather just a directory under /. After upgrade to recent Fedora,
I found out that grub2 can't find any new kernels.
This happens because loadentry script generates kernel and initrd file
paths relative to /boot, while grub2 expects path to be relative to the
root of filesystem on which they are residing.
This commit fixes this issue by using stat's %m to find the mount point
of a partition holding the images, and using it as a prefix to be
removed from ENTRY_DIR_ABS.
Note that %m for stat requires coreutils 8.6, released in Oct 2010.

As in 2a5fcfae02
and in 3e67e5c992
using /usr/bin/env allows bash to be looked up in PATH
rather than being hard-coded.
As with the previous changes the same arguments apply
- distributions have scripts to rewrite shebangs on installation and
they know what locations to rely on.
- For tests/compilation we should rather rely on the user to have setup
there PATH correctly.
In particular this makes testing from git easier on NixOS where do not provide
/bin/bash to improve compose-ability.
When booting with Fedora-Server-dvd-x86_64-30-20190411.n.0.iso,
/proc/cmdline is empty (libvirt, qemu host with bios, not sure if that
matters), after installation to disk, anaconda would "crash" in kernel-core
%posttrans, after calling kernel-install, because dracut would fail
with
> Could not determine the kernel command line parameters.
> Please specify the kernel command line in /etc/kernel/cmdline!
I guess it's legitimate, even if unusual, to have no cmdline parameters.
Two changes are done in this patch:
1. do not fail if the cmdline is empty.
2. if /usr/lib/kernel/cmdline or /etc/kernel/cmdline are present, but
empty, ignore /proc/cmdline. If there's explicit configuration to
have empty cmdline, don't ignore it.
The same change was done in dracut:
https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/pull/561.
Things are currently fairly ugly in Fedora: we create $BOOT/$MACHINE_ID/$KERNEL_VERSION/,
and then 20-grub.install that is installed by grub2-common.rpm wants to remove that
directory before 50-dracut.install get a chance to run. 50-dracut.install
checks for the presence of that directory to decide where to install the
kernel. So let's make the creation of the directory conditional. Previous
commit changes bootctl install to create $BOOT/$MACHINE_ID, and this commit
makes kernel-install not create it. In effect, the entry directory will only be
created if 'bootctl install' or something else created the parent directory.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1648907
"BOOT" is misleading, because it sounds like this refers to /boot or $BOOT,
when in fact it refers to some subdirectory. Those variable names are purely
interal, so we can change them. $BOOT_DIR_ABS was used in NEWS, but it should
not be (because it is an internal detail), so the old NEWS entry is reworded to
use "entry directory".
This makes it easier to see what is going on. Documentation for
--verbose and --help is added to the man page. Our plugins are updated
to also log a bit.
* kernel-install: fix initrd when called as installkernel
Running make install from the kernel runs e.g.:
installkernel 4.20.5 arch/x86/boot/bzImage System.map "/boot"
Since 0912c0b80e this would
cal 90-loaderentry.install with those arguments:
add 4.20.5 /boot/... arch/x86/boot/bzImage System.map "/boot"
The two last arguments would then be handled as the initrd files.
As System.map exists in current directory but not in /boot/...
it would get copied there, and used as initrd intead of the initrd
which has been generated by dracut.
With this change, nothing changes when kernel-install is called
directly, but when it's called as installkernel, we now pass
thos arguments to 90-loaderentry.install:
add 4.20.5 /boot/... arch/x86/boot/bzImage initrd
initrd is thus detected as the file to use for the initrd, and as it
exists, nothing is copied over and the initrd line generated is
consistent with what one would expect
* kernel-install: fix dracut initrd detection when called directly
This brings back the systemd 240 behaviour when called directly too
* kernel-install: unify initrd fallback
* kernel-install: move initrd fallback handling to 90-loaderentry.install
* kernel-install: move initrd fallback just before creating loader entry
Instead of having just a single INITRD field, add support for all
additional parameters being INITRD fields in order.

The current support in kernel-install for initrd images doesn't copy
over the initrd file or allow a means for it to be specified (it
requires a specific filename in a particular directory).
This patchset adds support for (optionally) providing the name of
initial ramdisk file to copied over and used by kernel-install.
This makes two changes:
1. When called for "remove" any drop-ins with "+" suffix are removed
too, so that the logic works for entries with boot counting enabled
too and we don't lose track of configuration snippets created that
way.
2. When called for "add" we optionally generate a "+" suffix, based on
the data in /etc/kernel/tries if it exists.
This basically means after "echo 5 > /etc/kernel/tries" any installed
kernels will automatically set up for 5 boot tries before older
kernels will be tried.
