With the migration from linux-kvm to linux-virtual/generic for the mantic minimal
images we can now start building arm64 minimal cloud images.
When building initial test images we noticed that the flash-kernel package was being
installed. This is not required for EFI images.
This commit removes the flash-kernel package from the cloud images arm installs
The only images built using the livecd-rootfs ubuntu-cpc project for arm64 and armhf
which are not cloud images (which therefore do not require flash-kernel) are the
raspi images. raspi does require flash-kernel. But the raspi images use the
`ubuntu-server-raspi` task to install the flash-kernel. As such this non raspi
flash-kernel package install can be completely removed.
It also means that initramfs-tools and dracut-install are installed as these are dependencies
of flash-kernel package.
Add mapping to use laptop-23.10 kernel. Ensure that
enhanced-secureboot is only setup on amd64 arch.

When trying to make changes to refactor livecd-rootfs, it is difficult to
know what side effects a change may have because of the use of globs on
arch/subarch and the lack of an authoritative list of supported arch
combinations.
This assembles a list of all possible values for $ARCH:$SUBARCH by looking at
all existing uses of $SUBARCH in live-build/auto/config and combining with
etc/default-arches from ubuntu-cdimage:
$ grep + etc/default-arches |grep -vE '(trusty|xenial|bionic|focal)[[:space:]]|appliance'
It also includes a special-case *appliance* glob, because there are many
Ubuntu Core appliance builds and there may be more in the future, and we
don't want to have to update livecd-rootfs with a hard-coded list.
Otherwise, this includes all currently used / supported combinations. The
amd64+kassel subarch is referenced in the code, but stopped being built a
while ago because "end of contract"; and there are some older no-longer-used
subarchs for particular raspi variants, which there is work to clean up
separately. So this should be a no-op wrt buildability of any existing
images on mantic - and if not, that's important for us to know!
The pi images contain redundant copies of cmdline.txt and config.txt in
the boot partition mount-point (which get hidden by the *actual* boot
partition). This commit removes those and simplifies the subarch check
(again, +raspi is the only subarch in use at this point on the Raspberry
Pi images)
systemd-resolved got moved out of the systemd package in kinetic and is
required for bootable buildd environement (as opposed to launchpad buildd)
(LP: #2007419)
This package is needed by ubuntu-advantage-tools for cloud images
only. u-a-t ultimately will drop this entirely in their next release.
(cf: https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-pro-client/issues/2692)
So instead of putting this in the seeds and then having to deal
with the seed changes to Mantic (after its release) and SRU of
ubuntu-meta, I'd rather have changes in livecd-rootfs done. Once
python3-systemd dependency is dropped from u-a-t, we'll drop it
from livecd-rootfs in Mantic+, too.
For minimized images we do not want to install any recommended packages.
We can do this by setting APT::Install-Recommends to false in apt config
or by passing --no-install-recommends to apt-get install.
Now that we have the cloud-minimal seed for minimized cloud
image builds, we should drop all the workarounds and hacks
we once needed when we were using the server seed. We can
directly use the new metapackage and get rid of the tasks and
other autoremoves, et al.
According to the kernel team the Linux Meta package linux-allwinner shall
continue to be supplied. It will depend on generic packages.

Canonical Public Cloud's project seems a bad place to build images for
hardware devices however this is how things were done a we now need to
maintain this.
The recent change to mount the ESP on /boot breaks those images, instead
of adding more hacky things in the hook, create a dedicated target for
those images and use a different hook to build UEFI images.
live-build/auto/config:
- for Ubuntu Server live images and the arm64+tegra full arch, build a
tegra variant with linux-nvidia-tegra as the flavor and
linux-nvidia-tegra as the kernel meta-package
- default to nvidia-$SUBARCH as the kernel flavor for all images using
arm64+tegra as full arch
hooks/03-kernel-metapkg.chroot_early:
- use linux-nvidia-tegra as kernel meta-package for the nvidia-tegra
flavor
SUBARCH=visionfive2 is used to build images for the StarFive VisionFive 2
boards. For the device-tree we assume board revision 1.3B.

Evolve the seed to only ship the specific part useful to WSL users. This
allows to trim down the image size.

The Wifi driver package is in universe and can't be promoted in time for
the release, so revert this.

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.

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.
