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.

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 .
While merging the VisionFive support, we removed the installation of
u-boot-menu for the Unmatched by mistake: fix this by reinstating it.

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)
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.

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.
armhf & arm64 images use grub. And despite disk-image &
disk-image-uefi installing all the grubs, some of the configuration is
done in the 999-cpc-fixes. Specifically removal of "quiet splash" is
done there, but not active on armhf & arm64. This results in arm
images to boot with "quiet splash".
Enable running the later portions of 999-cpc-fixes on armhf & arm64.
Drop duplicate call to update-grub, as update-grub2 is simply a
symlink to update-grub.
Add a guard around the call to reconfigure grub-pc, to only do that
when it is installed.
This makes armhf & arm64 uefi images consistent with amd64 uefi
images.
