Now that the random seed is used on virtualized systems, there's no
point in having a random-seed-mode toggle switch. Let's just always
require it now, with the existing logic already being there to allow not
having it if EFI itself has an RNG. In other words, the logic for this
can now be automatic.
The reallocation of memory and counter incrementation is moved from
the only caller to the function. This way the callers can remain oblivious
of the BootConfig internals.
We must be consistent in the two listings, so let's split out the loading code
and call it from both verb_status() and verb_list(). This effectively makes
verb_status() also call efi_loader_get_entries().
There is still some code duplicated, but that's hard to avoid. Error messages
are made identical for the same errors in various places.
Fixes#22580.
This normalizes naming of functions operating on BootConfig objects.
Let's always call them boot_config_xyz(), like our usual way to name
stuff.
moreover, move the BootConfig parameter to the beginning, as it's not a
return value (which we typically move to the end of the parameter list),
but simply an object, that even happens to be initialized already.
With these changes the functions are more like our usual way to call
things, and less surprises are good.
the function contains a loop and if expressions and whatnot. Let's
define it as regular function, to make the header easier to read and let
the compiler more freedom on whether to inline this or not.
For testing purposes I run one of my system symlinking /boot/loader/ to
/efi/loader/. This triggers annoying behaviour in boot entry
enumeration: the code ends up iterating through the 'entries' subdir of
both, thinking one was actually in the ESP and the other in XBOOTLDR,
and thus distinct. This would result in duplicate entries.
Let's address that, and filter out duplicates via their inode numbers:
never process the same inode twice. This should protect us from any
confusion effectively, regardless which inodes are symlinked (or even
bind mounted).
The code is quite different from the rest of bootspec.c, with different
deps and stuff. There's even a /***/ line to separate the two parts.
Given how large the file already is, let#s just split it into two.
No code changes, just some splitting out.
On my local system I linked up the ESP and XBOOTLDR partitions, and
ended up with duplicate entries being listed. Try hard to detect that
and only enumerate entries in the ESP if it turns out that both dirs
have the same dev_t.
This should detect both bind mounted and symlinked cases and should make
our list output less confusing.
Let's improve display of boot entries and show what type they have (i.e.
boot loader spec type 1, or type 2, or auto-discovered or reported by
boot loader), and in particular mark entries the boot loader discovered
but we can't find (i.e. that likely vanished, or possibly couldn't be
found due to a misconfiguration) and that the boot loader didn't find
but we see (which are new, or possibly also the result of
misconfiguraiton).
This is supposed to be a replacement for #22161, but instead of hiding
vanished entries, highlights them, which I think is more appropriate for
a low-level tool such bootctl.
Replaces: #22161#22398
Remove the parameter 'only_auto' from the function
boot_entries_augment_from_loader() because each caller set it always to
true.

As suggested in https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/11484#issuecomment-775288617.
This does not touch anything exposed in src/systemd. Changing the defines there
would be a compatibility break.
Note that tests are broken after this commit. They will be fixed in the next one.
In cases where systemd (and thus bootctl) is updated to a version
including the earlier unique-ID fix, but the corresponding new version
of systemd-boot is not installed to the ESP and run at least once,
the bootloader will report old-style entry IDs cached in the
LoaderEntries EFI variable, while bootctl will report new-style IDs for
the same entries, producing duplicate entries. This commit makes bootctl
compute and retain old-style IDs for non-auto entries so that it can
properly deduplicate entries even if the cache contains old-style IDs.
Now only two operations are left. Let's just move this into the caller,
since it should make things simpler, clearer and shorter, in particular
as there's only a single user for this.
It's a simple wrapper around boot_entries_load_config(), but determines
the ESP/XBOOTLDR paths automatically at first. Also, it looks for a path
/run/boot-loader-entries/ and loads the entries from there if it
exists. This is supposed to be a hook for other boot loaders to make our
tools aware of their own entries.
Previously, bootctl would show boot loader entries discovered by the
boot loader which couldn't found locally separately in the output.
Let's move this code into bootspec.c, and beef it up a bit. This way we
can use it later on for logind, and correctly show automatically
discovered windows/macos entries too.
This 'root' field contains the root path of the partition we found the
snippet in. The 'kernel', 'initrd', 'efi', … fields are relative to this
path.
This becomes particularly useful later when we add support for loading
snippets from both the ESP and XBOOTLDR, but already simplifies the code
for us a bit in systemctl.
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
