* locale: honour new env var $SYSTEMD_UTF8=Lennart Poettering2022-11-101-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | This is useful to force off fancy unicode glyph use (i.e. use "->" instead of "→"), which is useful in tests where locales might be missing, and thus control via $LC_CTYPE is not reliable. Use this in TEST-58, to ensure the output checks we do aren't confused by missing these glyphs being unicode or not.
* Revert "initrd: extend SYSTEMD_IN_INITRD to accept non-ramfs rootfs"Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2022-11-091-7/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 1f22621ba33f8089d2ae5fbcaf8b3970dd68aaf0. As described in the reverted commit, we don't want to get rid of the check completely. But the check requires opting-in by setting SYSTEMD_IN_INITRD=lenient, which is cumbersome and doesn't seem to actually happen. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2137631 is caused by systemd refusing to treat the system as an initrd because overlayfs is used. Let's revert this approach and do something that doesn't require opt-in instead. I don't think it makes sense to keep support for "SYSTEMD_IN_INITRD=lenient" or "SYSTEMD_IN_INITRD=auto". To get "auto" behaviour, just unset the option. And "lenient" will be reimplemented as a better check. Thus the changes to the option interface are completely reverted.

| | | | | | | | (s) is just ugly with a vibe of DOS. In most cases just using the normal plural form is more natural and gramatically correct. There are some log_debug() statements left, and texts in foreign licenses or headers. Those are not touched on purpose.

| * mkosi: Optionally build a kernel image from mkosi.kernel/Daan De Meyer2022-09-291-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If mkosi.kernel/ exists, the mkosi script will try to build a kernel image from it. We use the architecture defconfig as a base and add our own extra configuration on top. We also add some extra tooling to the build image required to build the kernel and include some documentation in HACKING.md on how to use this new feature. To avoid the kernel sources from being copied into the build or final image (which we don't want because it takes a while), we put the mkosi.kernel/ directory in .gitignore and use "SourceFileTransfer=mount" so that the sources are still accessible in the build image.

* | journal: Store offsets to tail entry array objects in chainDaan De Meyer2022-10-071-1/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, we'd iterate an entry array from start to end every time we added an entry offset to it. To speed up this operation, we cache the last entry array in the chain and how many items it contains. This allows the addition of an entry to the chain to be done in constant time instead of linear time as we don't have to iterate the entire chain anymore every time we add an entry.
* | journal: Use 32-bit entry item object offsets in compact modeDaan De Meyer2022-10-071-6/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To do this, we move EntryItem out of journal-def.h and turn it into a host only struct in native endian mode so we can still use it to ship the necessary info around. Aside from that, the changes are pretty simple, we introduce some extra functions to access the right field depending on the mode and convert all the other code to use those functions instead of accessing the raw fields. We also drop the unused entry item hash field in compact mode. We already stopped doing anything with this field a while ago, now we actually drop it from the format in compact mode.

In fact, we plan never to do this, so make the language stronger. Also remind people about distro forums for reporting bugs. Those are probably a better place than systemd-devel for new users. Also, add some missing articles and apostrophes, fix URLs, remove repeated phrases, etc.

* | boot-loader-spec: undo redefinition of $BOOTLennart Poettering2022-09-201-134/+185
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In 53c26db4dac0f5b79ca2a57364ee7df78a14bbfd the meaning of $BOOT was redefined. I think that's quite problematic, since the concept is implemented in code and interface of bootctl. Thus, I think we should stick to the original definition, which is: "where to *place* boot menu entries" (as opposed to "where to *read* boot menu entries from"). The aforementioned change was done to address two things afaiu: 1. it focussed on a $BOOT as the single place to put boot entries in, instead of mentioning that both ESP and $BOOT are expected to be the source 2. it mentioned the /loader/ dir (as location for boot loader resources) itself as part of the spec, which however only really makes sense in the ESP. /loader/entries/ otoh makes sense in either the ESP or $BOOT. With this rework I try to address these two issues differently: 1. I intend to make clear the $BOOT is the "primary" place to put stuff in, and is what should be mounted to /boot/. 2. The ESP (if different from $BOOT) is listed as "secondary" source to read from, and is what should be mounted to /efi/. NB we now make the distinction between "where to put" (which is single partition) and "where to read from". 3. This drops any reference of the /loader/ dir witout the /entries/ suffix. Only the full /loader/entries/ dir (and its companion file /loader/entries.srel) are now mentioned. Thus isolated /loader/ directory hence becomes irrelevant in the spec, and the fact that sd-boot maintains some files there (and only in the ESP) is kept out of the spec, because it is irrelevant to other boot loaders. 4. It puts back the suggestion to mount $BOOT to /boot/ and the ESP to /efi/ (and suggests adding a symlink or bind mount if both are the same partition). Why? Because the dirs are semantically unrelated: it's OK and common to have and ESP but no $BOOT, hence putting ESP inside of a useless, non-existing "ghost" dir /boot/ makes little sense. More importantly though, because these partitions are typically backed by VFAT we want to maintain them as an autofs, with a short idle delay, so that the file systems are unmounted (and thus fully clean) at almost all times. This doesn't work if they are nested within each other, as the establishment of the inner autofs would pin the outer one, making the excercise useless. Now I don't think the spec should mention autofs (since that is an implementation detail), but it should arrange things so that this specific, very efficient, safe and robust implementation can be implemented. The net result should be easy from an OS perspective: 1. *Put* boot loader entries in /boot/, always. 2. *Read* boot loader entries from both /boot/ and /efi/ -- if these are distinct. 3. The only things we define in the spec are /loader/entries/*.conf and /EFI/Linux/*.efi in these two partitions (well, and the companion file /loader/entries.srel 4. /efi/ and /boot/ because not nested can be autofs. 5. bootctl code and interface (in particular --esp-path= and --boot-path=) match the spec again. `bootctl -x` and `bootctl -p` will now print the path to $BOOT and ESP again, matching the concepts in the spec again. From the sd-boot perspective things are equally easy: 1. Read boot enrties from ESP and XBOOTLDR. 2. Maintain boot loader config/other resources in ESP only. And that's it. Fixes: #24247

* | docs: add a note about selectively overriding default dependenciesLuca BRUNO2022-09-201-0/+8
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | This documents that explicit `Before=`/`After=` dependencies can be used to selectively override implicit ordering coming from default dependencies. That allows for more granular control compared to the already documented `DefaultDependencies=no` option. The alternative approach came up in a discussion around the ordering of `boot-complete.target`, so this also adds an explicit suggestion in that direction to the "Automatic Boot Assessment" documentation.
