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

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.

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.

Current Kinetic GCE image builds are failing with the following error:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.19.0-1004-gcp
zstd: error 25 : Write error : No space left on device (cannot write compressed block)
E: mkinitramfs failure zstd -q -1 -T0 25
Seems like after `linux-gcp` update from 5.15 to 5.19 `linux-modules` package
has gotten ~40MB larger and with that GCE image builds are over the edge wrt
available disk space in chroot.
Bumped up disk image size for amd64 to 3.5GB to match the sizes used by armhf
and generic images.
The cloud-init bug (see LP:1968873) got fixed now so using a sshd
config snippet should work now.
This partly reverts commit aa1be5eaaa
but uses now 60-cloudimg-settings.conf instead of
10-cloudimg-settings.conf .
For now, all RISC-V hardware is SBC-like board which embed a Wifi
chipset so install wpasupplicant by default. We'll certainly split the
seeds between server and embedded hardware later.

* Fix some issues with the netboot tarballs:
- Include the signed shim (oops).
- Make the kernel path on disk and in the bootloader config match (more
oops).
- Make paths more architecture dependent as the code in grubnetXXX.efi to
probe a platform dependent path first doesn't work.

This change triggered a bug in cloud-init (see LP:1968873). cloud-init
does not recongnize sshd options set in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/ and
cloud-init modifies directly /etc/ssh/sshd_config which gets then
overwritten by settings from /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/ .
This reverts commit b54d24ff33.

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.

Modifying directly /etc/ssh/sshd_config creates "problems" when
upgrading eg. from Focal to Jammy because the upgrade will ask the
user what to do with the modified config. To avoid that, put the
custom configuration into /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/ so the upgrade of
openssh-server can just replace /etc/ssh/sshd_config without asking
the user.
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)
Germinate doesn't take very long at all to run but downloading the
indices it operates on can take a while and nothing else in auto/config
does so not doing it every time you run "lb config" can be a real time
saver.
The code that invokes germinate already checked if the output was
already there but it was unconditionally deleted by the time control got
to that point.
LP: 1969664 tracks an issue related to the deprecation of rsa+ssh on
Jammy+ openssh server, coupled with upstream vagrant bugs, that cause
Jammy vagrant images fail to bootstrap due to ssh negotiation issues.
Moving to a different key algo from the upstream insecure key matches
Jammy's expectations, and works with older vagrant versions.
vagrant >= 2.2.16 hosts are unaffected by the issue, as an upstream
change was made. This change keep compatibility with newer vagrant
versions as well.
Readding this file per reviewer's request until CPC splits the
pipelines. Removing this file would make CPC image builds fail.

Commit 245f7772bd added code to abort the build if a snap wants to
install "core" (the 16.04 runtime). That's great but there are still
some CPC maintained image builds that use snaps based on "core". So
make it possible to continue the build if the "ALLOW_CORE_SNAP" env
variable is set.
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.
The UNCONFIGURED FSTAB warning was being left in the result, the discard
option wasn't included, and the fsck flag was 0 (all in marked contrast
to the preinstalled server images).
Changes in either livecd-rootfs or ubuntu-image seem to periodically
break the transfer of the pre-allocated swapfile (copying it in such a
fashion that it winds up "with holes" and thus unable to be used as a
swapfile). Rather than fight this, just use a simple systemd service to
generate the swapfile if it doesn't exist (using fallocate to keep
things snappy).
This fixes GCE shielded VM instances integrity monitoring failures on
focal and later. Our images are built with an empty /boot/grub/grubenv
file, however after the first boot `initrdless_boot_fallback_triggered`
is set to 0. This change in `grubenv` results in integrity monitoring
`lateBootReportEvent` error.
It seems that the only thing that's checking for this `grubenv` variable
is `grub-common.service`, and it is looking specifically for a `1`
value:
if grub-editenv /boot/grub/grubenv list | grep -q
initrdless_boot_fallback_triggered=1; then echo "grub:
GRUB_FORCE_PARTUUID set, initrdless boot paniced, fallback triggered.";
fi
Unsetting this variable instead of setting it to 0 would prevent issues
with integrity monitoring.
LP: 1960537 illustrates an issue where the calls to e2fsck in the
umount_partition call are failing due to an open file handle. At this
time, we are unable to find a root cause, and it's causing many builds
to fail for CPC. Adding a sleep 30 as a workaround as the file handle
releases within that timeframe. This does not address root cause.
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.
