Making keys case insensitive should help if caps lock is on.
We are not advertising them at runtime or in the manual to
reduce the noise.
This also hides the quit and version commands from the help
string. They are mostly for devs and otherwise have little
to no use to normal users. The latter overlaps with print
status which is still advertised.
We only need the PE header offset from the DOS header, not
its size. Previously, the section table could be cut off in the middle.
While we are at it, also modernize the remaining code.
There is a ASSERT() macro from gnu-efi, but that does not show any
output to ConOut. Having to do some additional setup just to get
some debug output is tedious and outright difficult on real hardware.
log_error_stall() and log_error_status_stall() will ensure the user has
a chance to catch an error message by stalling and also forcing a
lightred/black color on it. Also, convert several Print() calls to it
since they are actually error messages.
Let's be paranoid and do something useful if we operate with empty
haystack/needle. This doesn't actually fix anything, as the places as
far as I can see check for non-emptyness already beforehand, but I will
sleep safer at night, if we don't even allow the trap to be fallen in,
ever, even if the code is changed sooner or later.
This is like memmem_safe() but returns a pointer after the needle,
instead to the beginning of the needle.
This is then used at one place. Not much, but it makes me sleep safer at
night, as it avoids the manual counting done so far.
When boot ArchLinux from Ventoy, it always print `Failed to open random seed file: write protected.`
As Ventoy emulate the ISO file as a read-only CDROM, I didn't test with a real physical CDROM drive, but maybe it also has such problem.
As we use `EFI_FILE_MODE_WRITE` to open the `loader\random-seed` file, so I think it's better to check the result with both `EFI_WRITE_PROTECTED` and `EFI_NOT_FOUND`.
In general we almost never hit those asserts in production code, so users see
them very rarely, if ever. But either way, we just need something that users
can pass to the developers.
We have quite a few of those asserts, and some have fairly nice messages, but
many are like "WTF?" or "???" or "unexpected something". The error that is
printed includes the file location, and function name. In almost all functions
there's at most one assert, so the function name alone is enough to identify
the failure for a developer. So we don't get much extra from the message, and
we might just as well drop them.
Dropping them makes our code a tiny bit smaller, and most importantly, improves
development experience by making it easy to insert such an assert in the code
without thinking how to phrase the argument.
Previously, the "bootctl update" logic would refrain from downrgading a
boot loader, but if the boot loader that is installed already matched
the version we could install we'd install it anyway, under the
assumption this was effectively without effect. This behaviour was handy
while developing boot loaders, since installing a modified boot loader
didn't require a version bump.
However, outside of the systems of boot loader developers I don't think
this behaviour makes much sense: we should always emphasize doing
minimal changes to the ESP, hence when an update is supposedly not
necessary, then don't do it. Only update if it really makes sense, to
minimize writes to the ESP. Updating the boot loader is a good thing
after all, but doing so redundantly is not.
Also, downgrade the message about this to LOG_NOTICE, given this
shouldn't be a reason to log.
Finally, exit cleanly in this cases (or if another boot loader is
detected)
Since autodetection is unlikely to work reliably for cross builds
disable it unless explicitly enabled.

The logic is that if the options are updated after boot, we *don't* use
the new value. But we still want to print out the changed contents in
bootctl as to not confuse people.
Fixes#19597.

Note: SystemdOptions EFI variable has been modified since boot. New value: debug
The hint is printed to stderr, so scripts should not be confused.
Creating those string dynamically at runtime is slow and unnecessary.
Let's use static strings with a bit of macro magic and the let the compiler
coalesce as much as possible.

A nice side-effect is that the same form is used everywhere, so it's easier to
figure out all variables that are used, and where each specific variable is
used.
C.f. 2b0445262a.
Note: 'const char *foo = alloca(…);' seems OK. Our coding style document and
alloca(3) only warn against using alloca() in function invocations. Declaring
both stack variable and alloca at the same time should be fine: no matter in
which order they happen, i.e. if the pointer variable is above the contents,
or the contents are above the pointer, or even if the pointer is elided by the
compiler, everything should be fine.
The naming of variables is very inconsistent. I tried to use more
modern style naming (UNDERSCORED_TITLE_CASE), but I didn't change existing
names too much. Only SYSTEM_DATA_UNIT_PATH is renamed to SYSTEM_DATA_UNIT_DIR
to match SYSTEM_CONFIG_UNIT_DIR.

Let's suffer one message only for each command. Hopefully we can silence
even this when https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/8642 is
resolved.
Some motherboards convert the path to uppercase under certain circumstances
(e.g. after booting into the Boot Menu in the ASUS ROG STRIX B350-F GAMING).
Binutils for non-x86 architectures currently does not support PE binaries. Thus
linux.efi.stub is useless on those, as one cannot use any tooling to add
linux/cmdline/splash sections to it. In addition to PE linux.efi.stub also
install ELF linux.elf.stub, such that one can use objcopy ELF target to copy in
linux/cmdline/splash sections and then convert the result to a PE binary.
