RISC-V boards tend to boot slowly.
We should provide progress information when booting.
Use 'efi=debug earlycon' on the Linux command line via new file
/etc/default/grub.d/cmdline.cfg.

The Nezha and the LicheeRV boards do not have enough memory for an initrd
with most modules. Therefore the number of included modules has to be
reduced.
Create file /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/modules_list.conf
to set MODULES=list.

Remove redirections of type
command &1>2
Executing the command in the background and creating and empty file '2'
was never intended.
As the messages are information only redirecting to stderr would not make
sense either.

The LicheeRV Dock board comes with only 512MB of DRAM so the only difference
with a Nezha image is the fact that we have to remove
cryptsetup-initramfs package which makes the initrd too big for the
board to boot.

The image created uses a UEFI bootflow, so we install grub for this board
only. We also need flash-kernel to install the dtb where grub can find
it.
This image is specifically architectured so that it can be installed on
a "factory" board, meaning using the u-boot firmware which was
originally implemented for Fedora, so we need the p3 partition that
embeds a uEnv.txt file to tell u-boot what/where to load next stage.

Define the image layout for the Nezha board.
The U-Boot SPL based boot0 may be installed starting in sector 16 or 256.
As sector 16 is incompatible with GPT partitioning use sector 256.
The primary U-Boot image is expected to start at sector 32800 and its
backup in sector 24576.

This reverts part of a change causing regression with vmware import due to the
cdrom getting moved to SCSI while shifting controller IDs. (LP: #1970795)

Due to how `disk-image` file is structured, it builds BIOS and UEFI
images at the same time. However, certain images (e.g., GCE images)
require only UEFI image to be built, BIOS image is being simply
discarded. This results in longer build times.
Splitting out `disk-image-uefi` would allow images to use it instead of
`disk-image` and thus avoid building unused BIOS images.
`disk-image` now depends on `disk-image-uefi` for backward
compatibility.
Currently the RISC-V preinstalled server images come with partitions that
are only 1 KiB aligned. Ext4 may use 4 KiB block size. The existing
misalignment leads to decreased performance.
Decrease the size of the loader2 partition by 34 512-byte blocks. This
results in 1 MiB alignment of the EFI and root partitions.
The remaining loader2 partition size of close to 4 MiB is still large
enough for U-Boot or a future EDK II.

It hangs during booting when upgrading hardware
version ESXi after deploying image in groovy.
(Current default version is 10)
It could be resolved by adding serial port in VM
when vm version is larger than 10.
Seriaol port1 has been configured as default so
we need to change setting serial0 as false.
As wsl is an image target of ubuntu-cpc, the base seed is hardcoded to
ubuntu-server instead of wsl one. For now, add it, as for the other
cpc images, in hooks.
groovy hangs during boot on ESXi when the version is greater than
10. Adding a serial port by default fixes this specific bug - increasing
the HW version will be for another branch.
This is because more investigation is needed into whether it is possible to
increment ddb.virtualHWVersion without disrupting Oracle VirtualBox images.
The case is for arch:subarch combo, not just arch alone even if
subarch is empty. Thus currently on adm64/arm64/armhf ubuntu-cpc
builds mbr image is created and then ignored, as the convert to qcow2
hook prefers the uefi image whenever available.
Skipping building these correctly, should speed up the build a little
bit and use slightly less disk space.
shim-signed depends on grub-efi-amd64-signed, which in turn has
alternative depends on either `grub-efi-amd64 | grub-pc`. However to
support booting with either via shim&signed-grub and BIOS, the choice
must be made to install grub-pc, not grub-efi-amd64.
This makes images consistent with Ubuntu Deskop, Live Server, buildd
bootable images; all of which already do install grub-pc and
shim-signed.
LP: #1901906
The CPC build hooks for amd64 incorrectly attempt to install shim-signed
in addition to grub-efi-amd64 and grub-pc. These latter two packages
conflict with each other. Instead shim-signed should install whatever
packages are required.
Additionally, this will ensure that autoremove is run after installing
anything in the CPC build hooks. This is done to avoid shipping images
that include packages that are autoremovable. This will clean-up as
packages are installed and detect any breakage at build time.
virtualbox-guest-utils kernel modules is included in linux-modules
starting in kernel 5.4.0-33 in focal-updates. The vagrant hook also
explicit installed virtualbox-guest-utils. An error occurred with the
version installed from the archives, however, with the inclusion in
linux-modules, there's no need to explicitly install
virtualbox-guest-utils. Removes the code for the explicit install.
