In cases where systemd (and thus bootctl) is updated to a version
including the earlier unique-ID fix, but the corresponding new version
of systemd-boot is not installed to the ESP and run at least once,
the bootloader will report old-style entry IDs cached in the
LoaderEntries EFI variable, while bootctl will report new-style IDs for
the same entries, producing duplicate entries. This commit makes bootctl
compute and retain old-style IDs for non-auto entries so that it can
properly deduplicate entries even if the cache contains old-style IDs.
bootspec.c, which is used by bootctl and systemctl, computes bootloaders
entry IDs independently from systemd-boot. This commit updates
the ID computation in bootspec.c to be in line with the previous few
commits altering boot.c.
As documented in the man-page, readdir() may return a directory entry with
d_type == DT_UNKNOWN. This must be handled for regular filesystems.
dirent_ensure_type() is available to set d_type if necessary. Use it in
some more places.
Without this systemd will fail to boot correctly with nfsroot and some
other filesystems.
Closes#13609
I want to use efivars.[ch] in proc-cmdline.c, but most of the efivars stuff is
not needed in basic/. Move the file from shared/ to basic/, but then move back
most of the higher-level functions to the new shared/efi-loader.c file.
This function had two users (apart from tests), and both only used one
argument. And it seems likely that if we need to pass more directories,
either the _nulstr() or the _strv() form would be used. Let's simplify
the code.
I think this is more useful (because it's easy to stick the path into an editor command
when one wants to change the options or inspect the files), and more self-explanatory.

Coverity was complaining in CID#1399407 that config->entries might be used
while NULL. Let's add an assert to make sure it's not.
Also, let's quit early if we have no entries to loop through. The code was
not incorrect, but it's cleaner to avoid any negative indices.
It seems that my EFI storage is corrupted. The kernel reports the file as present, but returns
an error when reading. Nevertheless, this shouldn't prevent me from reading the entry
list.
Fixes#11909.
Now only two operations are left. Let's just move this into the caller,
since it should make things simpler, clearer and shorter, in particular
as there's only a single user for this.
It's a simple wrapper around boot_entries_load_config(), but determines
the ESP/XBOOTLDR paths automatically at first. Also, it looks for a path
/run/boot-loader-entries/ and loads the entries from there if it
exists. This is supposed to be a hook for other boot loaders to make our
tools aware of their own entries.
Previously, bootctl would show boot loader entries discovered by the
boot loader which couldn't found locally separately in the output.
Let's move this code into bootspec.c, and beef it up a bit. This way we
can use it later on for logind, and correctly show automatically
discovered windows/macos entries too.
find_default_boot_entry() is only used by systemctl.c, and currently
handles one log message in the caller instead of the callee. Let's
simplify that and move it over, too
Let's add a new function that checks whether some directory is the
top-level directory inside an fs, splitting out the code for this from
verify_esp().
While we are at it, let's slightly improve the code, so that we can
correctly work if we have no priviliges but the ESP is mounted
unaccessible: if we can't stat() the path "$ESP/.." then manually remove
the last component of $ESP and check that instead. Which is very similar
in behaviour, and hopefully good enough in the unprivileged case.
udev metadata access works unprivileged, which the blkid stuff doesn't
(as that needs raw device node access). Hence let's use udev if we lack
privs, and raw device access only if root.
This 'root' field contains the root path of the partition we found the
snippet in. The 'kernel', 'initrd', 'efi', … fields are relative to this
path.
This becomes particularly useful later when we add support for loading
snippets from both the ESP and XBOOTLDR, but already simplifies the code
for us a bit in systemctl.
