In many places we spelled out the phrase behind "initrd" in full, but this
isn't terribly useful. In fact, no "RAM disk" is used, so emphasizing this
is just confusing to the reader. Let's just say "initrd" everywhere, people
understand what this refers to, and that it's in fact an initramfs image.
Also, s/i.e./e.g./ where appropriate.
Also, don't say "in RAM", when in fact it's virtual memory, whose pages
may or may not be loaded in page frames in RAM, and we have no control over
this.
Also, add <filename></filename> and other minor cleanups.
entry.
By default an entry named "Linux Boot Manager" is created (which is the
previous behavior). With the flag the name of the entry can be
controlled, which is useful when installing systemd-boot to multiple ESP
partitions and having uniquely named entries.
Fixes#17044.
When using --root=/--image= the binaries to install/update will be
picked from the directory/image. Add an option to let the caller
choose.
By default (auto) the image is tried first, and if nothing is found
then the host. The other options allow to strictly try the image
or host and ignore the other.
This is based on the output on my laptop, with various manual adjustments.
If people have other types of entries, it'd be useful to add them here. In
particular, some dual-boot entries would be nice.
Strangely enough, having <varlistenetry>s outside of <variablelist> wasn't
causing visual problems. But having two <listitem>s in one <varlistentry>
resulted in the paragraphs running together in the rendered man page.
This makes a bunch of closely related changes:
1. The "entry-token" concept already introduced in kernel-install is now
made use of. i.e. specifically there's a new option --entry-token=
that can be used to explicitly select by which ID to identify boot
loader entries: the machine ID, or some OS ID (ID= or IMAGE_ID= from
/etc/os-release, or even some completely different string. The
selected string is then persisted to /etc/kernel/entry-token, so that
kernel-install can find it there.
2. The --make-machine-id-directory= switch is renamed to
--make-entry-directory= since after all it's not necessarily the
machine ID the dir is named after, but can be any other string as
selected by the entry token.
3. This drops all code to make automatic changes to /etc/machine-info.
Specifically, the KERNEL_INSTALL_MACHINE_ID= field is now more
generically implemented in /etc/kernel/entry-token described above,
hence no need to place it at two locations. And the
KERNEL_INSTALL_LAYOUT= field is not configurable by user switch or
similar anyway in bootctl, but only read from
/etc/kernel/install.conf, and hence copying it from one configuration
file to another appears unnecessary, the second copy is fully
redundant. Note that this just drops writing these fields, they'll
still be honoured when already set.
Now that kernel-install creates the machine-id directory, we don't need to do
this is 'bootctl install', and in fact it's better not to do this since it
might never be necessary. So let's change the default behaviour to 'no'.
I kept support for 'auto' to maintain backwards compatibility, even though the
default was changed. Previous behaviour can be requested by specifying
--make-machine-id-directory=auto.
if /usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi/systemd-bootx64.efi.signed exists
install that instead of /usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi/systemd-bootx64.efi
the idea is that SecureBoot tooling can create the efi.signed file
whenever /usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi/systemd-bootx64.efi from the package
is updated.
Previously, the "bootctl update" logic would refrain from downrgading a
boot loader, but if the boot loader that is installed already matched
the version we could install we'd install it anyway, under the
assumption this was effectively without effect. This behaviour was handy
while developing boot loaders, since installing a modified boot loader
didn't require a version bump.
However, outside of the systems of boot loader developers I don't think
this behaviour makes much sense: we should always emphasize doing
minimal changes to the ESP, hence when an update is supposedly not
necessary, then don't do it. Only update if it really makes sense, to
minimize writes to the ESP. Updating the boot loader is a good thing
after all, but doing so redundantly is not.
Also, downgrade the message about this to LOG_NOTICE, given this
shouldn't be a reason to log.
Finally, exit cleanly in this cases (or if another boot loader is
detected)
The directory might not be created in the ESP but in the extended boot
loader partition, hence don#t claim otherwise.
Also, give a brief reason why the concept exists at all.
Link up machine-id man page.

Using `bootctl set-default @current` will set the default loader entry
to the currently booted entry as read from the `LoaderEntrySelected` EFI
variable.
Also `bootctl set-oneshot @current` will set the oneshot loader entry to
the current booted entry.
Correspondingly `@default` and `@oneshot` can be used to read from the
LoaderEntryDefault and LoaderEntryOneshot EFI variables.
bootctl implements three types of operation: those that work with an EFI
boot loader, those which work with any EFI boot loader that implements
the boot loader spec + interface, and finally those specific to sd-boot.
Previously the --help text and the man page mixed them all up. Let's put
them clearly in three separate sections however, to communicate clearly
what is supposed to work everywhere, and what is specific to
systemd-boot or boot loaders implementing the two specs.
This adjusts wording here and there, but is mostly just about
re-ordering existing docs, and putting them under new sections.
Apparently some firmwares don't allow us to write this token, and refuse
it with EINVAL. We should normally consider that a fatal error, but not
really in the case of "bootctl random-seed" when called from the
systemd-boot-system-token.service since it's called as "best effort"
service after boot on various systems, and hence we shouldn't fail
loudly.
Similar, when we cannot find the ESP don't fail either, since there are
systems (arch install ISOs) that carry a boot loader capable of the
random seed logic but don't mount it after boot.

This makes the naming more consistent: we now have
bootctl systemd-efi-options,
$SYSTEMD_EFI_OPTIONS
and the SystemdOptions EFI variable.
(SystemdEFIOptions would be redundant, because it is only used in the context
of efivars, and users don't interact with that name directly.)
bootctl is adjusted to use 2sp indentation, similarly to systemctl and other
programs.
Remove the prefix with the old name from 'bootctl systemd-efi-options' output,
since it's redundant and we don't want the old name anyway.
For executables which take a verb, we should list the verbs first, and
then options which modify those verbs second. The general layout of
the man page is from general description to specific details, usually
Overview, Commands, Options, Return Value, Examples, References.
The "include" files had type "book" for some raeason. I don't think this
is meaningful. Let's just use the same everywhere.
$ perl -i -0pe 's^..DOCTYPE (book|refentry) PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.[25]//EN"\s+"http^<!DOCTYPE refentry PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN"\n "http^gms' man/*.xml
No need to waste space, and uniformity is good.
$ perl -i -0pe 's|\n+<!--\s*SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.1..\s*-->|\n<!-- SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.1+ -->|gms' man/*.xml
let's add an env var for this, as this really shouldn't be a top-level
feature, as it turning off the validity checks certainly isn't
advisable.
