This brings the handling of config for kernel-install in line with most of
systemd, i.e. we search the set of paths for the main config file, and the full
set of drop-in paths for drop-ins.
This mirrors what 07f5e35fe7 did for udev.conf.
That change worked out fine, so I hope this one will too.
The update in the man page is minimal. I think we should split out a separate
page for the config file later on.
One motivating use case is to allow a drop-in to be created for temporary
config overrides and then removed after the operation is done.
Let's make kernel-install a bit easier to use:
If the kernel version is not specified, let's imply "uname -r", so that
we regnerate the entries for the current kernel.
If the kernel image is not specified let's imply using
/usr/lib/modules/$version/vmlinuz, i.e. the location distros like Fedora
drop the kernel into, which we generally recommend people to use.
If the kernel is not found there, don't try to automatically pick the
kernel path, and fail, as before.
In mkosi, we can't use kernel-install directly but we do want to
mimick its behavior as much as possible. Let's make that easier by
making it easy to fetch data from kernel-install as JSON.
To get all the necessary data, we extend the inspect verb to also
allow passing in a kernel version and initrds, to mimick the "add"
verb. The kernel version is used to determine the "Entry Directory",
and in absence of auto-detection of kernel version in kernel-install
we have to allow users to pass it.
We also add --no-pager while we're at it.
Each filename should be a separate <term>, so that they separated in the
formatted text. Also, we list files in documentation in priority order, but
here they were in reverse order. Also, rework the description of
$KERNEL_INSTALL_CONF_ROOT to say that it makes kernel-install not look at the
other files. This requires some more words, so make this a separate paragraph
and refer from individual items to it. Also, drop some sentences with "Read by
...", they were already outdated.
Partial fix for #28771.
Co-authored-by: Emil Renner Berthing <systemd@esmil.dk>
For us, this is a compatibility mode, but most likely it is there to stay: the
kernel Makefile's install target expects to be able to call /bin/installkernel.
We want people who build their own kernels to use this, so that they use
kernel-install and get support for all the functionality provided by it,
including building of UKIs and other new features. So let's actually advertise
that this exists and works.
As I noticed a lot of missing information when trying to implement checking
for missing info. I reimplemented the version information script to be more
robust, and here is the result.
Follow up to ec07c3c80b
This tries to add information about when each option was added. It goes
back to version 183.
The version info is included from a separate file to allow generating it,
which would allow more control on the formatting of the final output.
Define $KERNEL_INSTALL_UKI_GENERATOR in case one wants it to be different from $KERNEL_INSTALL_INITRD_GENERATOR. This can be useful if one wants to use mkinitcpio / Dracut to generate the initrd, but without creating the UKI so this can be left for e.g. ukify or something else. Right now these initrd generators will read /etc/kernel/install.conf and generate the UKI
Detect image type using "bootctl kernel-identify $kernel",
store result in KERNEL_INSTALL_IMAGE_TYPE.
Extend layout autodetection to check the kernel image type
and pick layout=uki for UKIs.

Seems OK to me. The full stop is there and has been for at least a few years. And we use <option> for the markup, which is appropriate here.

"one of" would sound strange. "One this and one that" is OK.

"Is honoured by the initrd" is OK, because we often speak about the initrd as a single unit. But in the same paragraph we also used "in the initrd", which makes the other use look sloppy. I changed it to "in the initrd" everywhere in that file.

This is autogenerated from files… We use slightly different markup in different files, and it's just too hard to make it consistent. We gave up on this.

Updated.
Currently the kernel-install man page only documents the bls layout for use
with the boot loader spec type #1. 90-loaderentry.install uses this layout to
generate loader entries and copy the kernel image and initrd to $BOOT.
This commit documents a second layout "uki" and adds 90-uki-copy.install,
which copies a UKI "uki.efi" from the staging area or any file with the .efi
extension given on the command line to
$BOOT/EFI/Linux/$ENTRY_TOKEN-$KERNEl_VERSION(+$TRIES).efi
This allows for both locally generated and distro-provided UKIs to be handled
by kernel-install.
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.
It's pretty hard to write tests without this. I started out by adding separate
variables for each of the files we read, but there's a bunch, and in practice
it's good enough to just override the directory.
Variables read by kernel-install and those exported by it were described
without any clear separation. So in particular it was pretty hard to answer
a question like "what variables can be set in install.conf". The in- and
out-variables are now split into two separate subsections.
In --help output, change "$0" → "kernel-install". We generally don't include
the full path in --help output, and let's not do this here either.
kernel-install is now in build/ directly, not in the subdirectory.
Change f887eab1da conditionalized the
building of ther kenel-install man page in the generated meson output,
instead of the source in the XML markup. Thus, whenever the rules file
is updated the conditionalization is lost. Correct that.
Follow-up for: f887eab1da
This drops documentation of KERNEL_INSTALL_MACHINE_ID as machine-info
field (though we'll still read it for compat).
This updates the kernel-install man page to always say "ENTRY-TOKEN"
instead of "MACHINE-ID" where appropriate, to clear the confusion up
between the two.
This also tries to fix how we denote env vars (always prefix with $ and
without = suffix), and other vars (without $ but with = suffix)
Other fixes.
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.
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.
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.
