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.
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.

"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.
Some .install plugins does not require that machine ID is set such as
20-grubby.install for Fedora and 50-depmod.install.
To support such plugins to run without valid machine-id, this commit
makes the following change:
* if /etc/machine-id is missing or empty, create temporary directory
and set its path to BOOT_DIR_ABS,
* run the .install helpers with KERNEL_INSTALL_MACHINE_ID environment
variable that'd be empty if /etc/machine-id is missing or empty.
This may be useful for installing kernel for e.g. stateless systems
which initialize machine-id while booting the systems.
bash implements process substitution using /dev/fd/N (this is documented
in man bash). We'd like kernel-install to work in chrooted RPM
scriptlets without /dev.
We can use here-strings instead. bash uses temporary files to implement
those.
Will be used by rpm-ostree (and likely lorax) to suppress
RPM->kernel->%posttrans->dracut runs, and basically everything
else this script is doing.
I'll also likely change the `kernel.spec` to respect this as well.
With this change kernel-install will now first look for an existing kernel
installation in /efi, /boot and /boot/efi. If none is found, /efi is used if it
is a mount point, otherwise /boot/efi if it is one. If nothing of that worked
/boot is used without further checking.
This means /boot should be the default unless something was installed before or
something else was explicitly mounted.
If 'kernel-install' is called as 'installkernel' it will be compatible with the
syntax used by the kernel's build system.
This means it can be called by doing 'make install' in a kernel build
directory, if the correct symlink has been installed (which we don't do by
default yet).
[Edit harald@redhat.com: removed basename and use shift]
Do the depmod in the kernel-install hooks, so hooks can produce/install
kernel modules and be part of the depmod.
Also move the basic boot loader entry creation and removal to a
plugin script.
If PRETTY_NAME is not defined in /etc/os-release, fallback to
PRETTY_NAME="Linux $KERNEL_VERSION".
Add documentation for everything in the man page.
- Consistent use of $VAR vs ${VAR}
- Consistent use of && vs 'if'
- Add error checking to some places
- Consistent error messages ("Can't" vs "Cannot", etc.)
- Function declarations at the top
- Miscellaneous adjustments
The wildcard matching the default loader entry should always be able to point to
the same machine.
So instead of sorting by <distribution>-<kernel-version>-<machine-id>
we better sort by <machine-id>-<kernel-version>.
