Turns out, some kernels on some versions of hardware, can
fail to boot when the hardware clock timer is not explicitly
checked. Normally, with virtual machines, you want to disable
the timer check, becuase the virutal machine inherently gets time
slices, and checking the timer can create issues booting.

The bootloader element now has variable
DIB_BOOTLOADER_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL to customize or suppress the
console=tty0 kernel argument.
This is proposed to allow console=tty0 to be removed entirely as it is
causing significant performance degredation in DPDK environments.

When your booting a Linux system using dracut, i.e. with any
redhat style distribution, dracut's internal code looks to validate
the kernel hmac signature in before proceeding to userspace.
It does this by looking at the /boot/ folder file for the kernel
hmac file.
And it normally does this with the root filesystem. Except if the
kernel is not on the root filesystem and is instead on a /boot
filesystem, this breaks horribly. This is compounded because
DIB enables the operator to restructure the OS image/layout
to fit their needs. In order for this to be navigated, as dracut
is written, we need to pass a "boot=" argument to the kernel.
So now we attempt to purge any prior boot entry in the disk image
content, which is good because any filesystem operations invalidate
it, and then we attempt to identify the boot filesystem, and save a
boot kernel command line parameter so the resulting image can
boot properly if FIPS was enabled in the prior image.
Regex developed with https://sed.js.org utilizing stdin:

Creating a separate /boot partition is desirable in some cases[1].
This change detects if /boot is a partition, and ensures that the
kernel/ramdisk paths are correct in either case. This is applied to
all BLS entries files, whether they were generated by the previous
grub2-mkconfig call or in the source image.
This means the rhel9 specific workaround can be removed since all
paths are now normalised at this stage.

The bootloader element installs the grub bootloader for whole-disk
images, but it also correctly sets values in /etc/default/grub and BLS
entries.
This value setting is useful even if the bootloader isn't installed.
For example, the overcloud-full partition image benefits from a
correct /etc/default/grub and BLS entries which ironic-python-agent
will use when it installs grub on the disk during baremetal deploy.
This change moves the actual grub install to the end of the script,
and if there is no $DIB_BLOCK_DEVICE set then install is skipped.
This allows overcloud-full to use the bootloader element instead of
the grub2 element, so the correct grub defaults are set on centos9,
including the correct root device on centos9.

The check removed here came in with
I4481b43e4a8fe4144be9c7eb9d9c618bbb2df21e a long time ago. At that
time we were not building EFI images, and were building i386 images;
both of which are now untrue.
We can simplify this now by merging it into the gpt/mbr path. If we
are in there we know that we should set --target=i386-pc for BIOS
boot. For sanity check that we are x86 in this path -- PPC is handled
separately (although it's probably bit-rotted) and ARM64 is EFI.

This change removes the uninstall grub2-efi which was required for
prerelease rhel-9 images but now breaks current centos-9-stream

empty /boot/efi partition from the base image)
This change also fixes the detection of whether this is an efi build

package is installed. This fixes building a centos-9-stream whole-disk

Partial-Bug: #1957789
This reverts I2701260d54cf6bc79f1ac765b512d99d799e8c43,
Idf2a471453c5490d927979fb97aa916418172153 and part of
Iecf7f7e4c992bb23437b6461cdd04cdca96aafa6 which added special flags to
update kernels via grubby.
These changes actually ended up reverting the behaviour on Fedora 35,
which is what led me to investigate what was going on more fully.
All distros still support setting GRUB_DEVICE in /etc/default/grub;
even the BLS based ones (i.e. everything !centos7).
The implementation *is* confusing -- in earlier distros each BLS entry
would refer to the variable $kernelopts; which grub2-mkconfig would
write into /boot/grub2/grubenv. After commit [1] this was reverted,
and the kernel options are directly written into the BLS entry.
But the real problem is this bit from [2]
get_sorted_bls()
{
if ! [ -d "${blsdir}" ] || ! [ -e /etc/machine-id ]; then
return
fi
...
files=($(for bls in ${blsdir}/${machine_id}-*.conf; do
...
}
i.e., to avoid overwriting BLS entries for other OS-boots (?),
grub2-mkconfig will only update those BLS entries that match the
current machine-id.
The problem for DIB is that we are clearing the machine-id early in
finalise.d/01-clear-machine-id, but then running the bootloader update
later in finalise.d/50-bootloader.
The result is that the bootloader entry generated when we installed
the kernel (which guessed at the root= device, etc.) is *not* updated.
Even more annoyingly, the gate doesn't pick this up -- because the
gate tests run on a DIB image that was booted with
"root=LABEL=cloudimg-rootfs" the kernel initially installed with
"install-kernel" (that we never updated) is actually correct. But
this fails when built on a production host.
Thus we don't need any of the explicit grubby updates; these are
reverted here. This moves the machine-id clearing to after the
bootloader setup, which allows grub2-mkconfig to setup the BLS entries
correctly.

We've noticed that centos8 arm64 images have a root devices of
/dev/mapper/loop7p3 which make sense within a dib image build context
but not at boot time. Dib intends to use labels to set the root device
but when efi is used we end up running grub2-mkconfig against the efi
grub config path before we configure grub to use labels.
Fix this by running grub2-mkconfig after its configuration is set.
This should avoid confusion and complicated paths through the scripts
that configure this for us. We then copy the resulting config to the efi
specific grub.cfg location for platforms that have it.
There is also a small refactoring that is done to try and make the ~3
boot variants more clear:
1) Booting with legacy bios
2) Booting with uefi without a signed shim that directly calls grub
3) Booting with uefi and a signed shim that calls grub
Options 1 and 2 share the /boot/grub*/grub.cfg file. Option 3 needs its
grub.cfg to live alongside distro specific efi target.

As of grub2 >= 2.02-95 on redhat family distros, calling grub2-install
on an EFI partition will fail with: "this utility cannot be used for
EFI platforms because it does not support UEFI Secure Boot."
This version of grub is now in centos8-stream and non-eus repos of
RHEL-8. It is not currently possible to build whole-disk UEFI images
on these distros, and when this package is promoted this will also
affect centos8 and RHEL-8 eus. The grub maintainers made this change
because the grub2-install generated /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI
will never be capable of booting with Secure Boot.
This change defines a $EFI_BOOT_DIR for every distro element. When
directory /boot/efi/$EFI_BOOT_DIR exists a grub.cfg file in will be
generated there. This change also installs the shim package on redhat
family distros, which installs a copy of the shim bootloader to
/boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI. Using centos as an example, this
allows UEFI to boot the shim /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI which
then chains to /boot/efi/EFI/centos/grubx64.efi.
If /boot/efi/$EFI_BOOT_DIR doesn't exist (such as for Ubuntu,
/boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu) the current behaviour of running grub-install to
generate /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI will continue. For distros
such as Ubutnu where packaging does not populate /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu
with .efi files, secure boot can be added in the future by copying
.efi files to /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu and copying the shim file to
/boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI.

The rhel8.2 .qcow2 images have moved from a single xfs partition into
an EFI style layout with separate /boot/efi partition.
This means the root partition has /boot/grub2/grubenv as a symlink to

bootloader element as /boot/efi is blank. grub-install tries to call
rename() in the process of re-writing this file, which fails and bails
out dib.

Currently we only export "image-block-device" which is the loopback
device (/dev/loopX) for the underlying image. This is the device we
install grub to (from inside the chroot ...)
This is ok for x86, but is insufficient for some platforms like PPC
which have a separate boot partition. They do not want to install to
the loop device, but do things like dd special ELF files into special
boot partitions.
The first problem seems to be that in level1/partitioning.py we have a
whole bunch of different paths that either call partprobe on the loop
device, or kpartx. We have _all_part_devices_exist() that gates the
kpartx for unknown reasons. We have detach_loopback() that does not
seem to remove losetup created devices. I don't think this does
cleanup if it uses kpartx correctly. It is extremley unclear what's
going to be mapped where.
This moves to us *only* using kpartx to map the partitions of the loop
device. We will *not* call partprobe and create the /dev/loopXpN
devices and will only have the devicemapper nodes kpartx creates.
This seems to be best. Cleanup happens inside partitioning.py.
practice. Deeper thinking about this, and more cleanup of the
variables will be welcome.
This adds "image-block-devices" (note the extra "s") which exports all
the block devices with name and path. This is in a string format that
can be eval'd to an array (you can't export arrays).
This is then used in a follow-on
(I0918e8df8797d6dbabf7af618989ab7f79ee9580) to pick the right

Currently we have all our elements and library files in a top-level
directory and install them into
<root>/share/diskimage-builder/[elements|lib] (where root is either /
or the root of a virtualenv).
The problem with this is that editable/development installs (pip -e)
do *not* install data_files. Thus we have no canonical location to
look for elements -- leading to the various odd things we do such as a
whole bunch of guessing at the top of disk-image-create and having a
special test-loader in tests/test_elements.py so we can run python
unit tests on those elements that have it.
data_files is really the wrong thing to use for what are essentially
assets of the program. data_files install works well for things like
config-files, init.d files or dropping documentation files.
By moving the elements under the diskimage_builder package, we always
know where they are relative to where we import from. In fact,
pkg_resources has an api for this which we wrap in the new
diskimage_builder/paths.py helper [1].
We use this helper to find the correct path in the couple of places we
need to find the base-elements dir, and for the paths to import the
library shell functions.
Elements such as svc-map and pkg-map include python unit-tests, which
we do not need tests/test_elements.py to special-case load any more.
