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

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.

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.

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.
In v2.672 the default boot behavior of cloud images changed:
- Prior to v2.672, cloud images with the linux-generic kernel attempt
to boot without an initramfs, would fail, and then retry with an
initramfs.
- After v2.672, cloud images with the linux-generic kernel boot with
an initramfs on the first try.
While the behavior is different between the two, they both result in
an instance that has booted with an initramfs. To ensure the changes
in v2.672 do not regress, we need an automated way to check if we are
attempting to boot without an initramfs and failing.
With this change, when we attempt to boot with an initramfs and fail,
initrdless_boot_fallback_triggered is set to non-zero in the grubenv.
This value can be checked after boot by looking in /boot/grub/grubenv
or by using the grub-editenv list command.
I recently pulled initramfs logic out of the base build hook, and
dropped that into the `replace_kernel` function. Any cloud image that
does not leverage the generic virtual kernel was expected to call
`replace_kernel` to pull in a custom kernel. That function will
disable initramfs boot for images that use a custom kernel.
Minimal cloud images on amd64 use the linux-kvm kernel, but the build
hook does not utilize the `replace_kernel` function. Instead, the
kernel flavor is set in `auto/config`. I pulled that logic out of
`auto/config` and am now calling `replace_kernel` in the build hook.
I also moved a call to generate the package list so that it will pick
up the change to the linux-kvm kernel.
Generic cloud images with the linux-generic kernel are not able to
boot without an initramfs. Previously, these images attempted to boot
without an initramfs, would fail, and then retry with an initramfs.
This slows the boot and is confusing behavior.
commit a993592 introduced an additional call to create_manifest
(and snap-seed-parse) to write binary/boot/filesystem.packages. This
caused duplicate snap lines in the qcow manifest. This is because the
live-build/auto/binary code assumes that after 'lb binary' is run the
filesystem.packages will only have debs and it calls snap-seed-parse to
add them to the file. The commit changed filesystem.packages in the
ubuntu-cpc uefi binary hook to include debs and snaps.
This patch keeps the intent of the prior patch, updating the
filesystem.packages file for the content of the uefi disk image, but
only writes a listing of debian packages to match the expected content
of filesystem.packages. The snaps will still be added in generic code
in live-build/auto/build.
This patch currently only applies to the "ubuntu-cpc" project.
More and more logic has been going into the hook scripts to decide under which conditions they should run or not. As we are moving to parallelized builds of image sets, this will get even more complicated. Base hooks will have to know which image sets they belong to and modification of the dependency chain between scripts will become more complicated and prone to errors, as the number of image sets grows.
This patch introduces explicit ordering and dependency handling for scripts through the use of `series` files and an explicit syntax for dependency specification.
