I expressed the issue I have with parse_tristate_argument()
in #37751: it doesn't add any value to direct use of parse_tristate();
on the contrary, it doesn't support means to reset the arg to "auto"/-1 state.
The mere reason it existed is that we need a int type ret param.
Since the previous attempt to address this mess failed, let's
try to make the function more useful by making it accept "auto".
I figure this is useful on its own.
As requested in
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/40652#discussion_r2831833996,
the function name is suffixed with _with_auto() to establish
that "auto" is handled internally.
Motivation:
Currently, when setting the default boot pattern, boot assessment status
is not taken into account. This means that with boot assessment enabled,
when an explicit boot entry is configured as the default entry using an
EFI var, as is common for instance in A/B boot schemes, the configured
entry will be booted indefinitly, regardless of the entry's boot
assessment status.
In order to allow for this use case in combination with boot assessment,
we introduce a new `preferred` keyword, both in the config file and in the
bootctl CLI, that acts very similar to the existing `default` keyword but
takes boot assessment into account and never selects any entries that
have been marked as bad.
If the preferred pattern does not resolve to any bootable entry, and a
default pattern is also specified, then the default pattern will be
considered next, and we may then still select a known-bad entry to be
booted.

If the IDL declares the method requires 'more' yet the call doesn't
have it set, varlink_idl_validate_method_call() should have rejected
it and the callback shouldn't be reached.
When running in a container, EFI and XBOOTLDR partition check is
relaxed, hence /boot may be recognized as both EFI and XBOOTLDR
partition.
Before:
```
$ run0 systemd-nspawn -xD / --private-network --bind=/sys/firmware/efi/efivars --bind=/boot -E SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug -- build/bootctl --variables=yes --no-pager -x
Failed to check file system type of "/efi": No such file or directory
Using EFI System Partition at /boot.
Using XBOOTLDR partition at /boot as $BOOT.
/boot
```
After:
```
$ run0 systemd-nspawn -xD / --private-network --bind=/sys/firmware/efi/efivars --bind=/boot -E SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug -- build/bootctl --variables=yes -x
Failed to check file system type of "/efi": No such file or directory
Using EFI System Partition at /boot.
Didn't find an XBOOTLDR partition, using the ESP as $BOOT.
/boot
```
These operations to quite different things, they just share 2 common
funcs. Let's split them out into separate files.
This also splits up verb_list() into separate calls for the three
operations. This actually fixes issues, as for status/list we want
"unpriv" ESP discovery logic, but for the other two we really should
have privileged discovery logic.
This is preparation for adding "bootctl link" later, but this makes
sense either way, I am sure.
When running "bootctl install" on an empty --root= dir, we don't know
which token to use, and the operation will fail. Make sure to return an
explicit error about this.
This introduces a recognizable low-level error for this (EUNATCH), and
then turns this into a recognizable Varlink error.
(I made sure that the old low-level error EINVAL wasn't load-bearing,
and it is safe to change this.)
This primarily introduces a context object for each operation, so that
we later can instantiate one for each varlink op we execute, and can
safely lifecycle all operation parameters for each subequent call.
This also reworks the root dir handling to be fd based.
This drops explicit CHASE_TRIGGER_AUTOFS from a bunch of chase() calls
that operate within the ESP/XBOOTLDR, while it keeps them in place for the
chase() calls that find the top-level ESP/XBOOTLDR inode. This reflects
the fact that we explicitly support autofs for the ESP/XBOOTLDR itself,
but below it expect no further mounts, just plain VFAT.
This changes behaviour of the interaction of $KERNEL_INSTALL_CONF_ROOT
and --root=: the former will now be taken relative to the host root, and
will no longer be affected by --root=. This follows similar behaviour in
kernel-install, where it is very explicitly documented in the man page
(the bootclt man page does not document this). This is strictly speaking
a compat breakage, but i think a very minor, niche one, and I think the
pain afflicted by this change is probably neglible compare to the
unsystematic behaviour comapred to kernel-install.
This fixes two things:
* $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is previously treated as usec, while it's in seconds
* >= 0 is passed to log_debug_errno(), triggering assertion
Replaces #40403
menu-force and menu-hidden were added in 97f077df05,
menu-disable was added in 6efdd7fec5, a year later.
So we can assume that if the feature flag is set, the other string values are
supported too. The comment that there's no way check that was added later in
5b45fad4fc, but it was incorrect even at that
time.
Fixes https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/39167. As described in the
issue, we documented various string values in the BLI, but bootctl didn't use
the string values. At the time menu-force and menu-hidden were added, using
numerical values for compatibility made sense. But that stopped being needed
when a string value that didn't have a strictly equivalent numerical value and
a feature flag were added.
When converting a large number to menu-force, message is downgraded to debug,
since the severity of the issue is very minor. Debug messages are added in
other places when the requested setting is modified too.
Let's not leak details from src/shared and src/libsystemd into
src/basic, even though you can't actually do anything useful with
just forward declarations from src/shared.
The sd-forward.h header is put in src/libsystemd/sd-common as we
don't have a directory for shared internal headers for libsystemd
yet.
Let's also rename forward.h to basic-forward.h to keep things
self-explanatory.
Commit e2a3d56218 (as part of #36314)
makes sd-boot recognize a 'uki' stanza in a boot loader entry and
uapi-group/specifications@3f2bd8236d adds
it to the BLS, but bootctl and other components parsing said config do
not know about it, leading to the error message
`Unknown line 'uki', ignoring.` when attempting to parse the same entry.
This commit makes it get parsed the same way that that 'efi' is.
We update BOOTX64.EFI explicitly once (because we know that it's the
main entry point of UEFI) and then a second time when we update
everything in $ESP/EFI/*.EFI. That's redundant and pretty ugly/confusing
in the log output. Hence exclude the file we already updated explicitly
from the 2nd run.
Given that we iterate through $ESP/EFI/BOOT/*.EFI these days this is a
pretty common case, hence it's not really noteworthy, hence downgrade
these log messages from LOG_NOTICE to LOG_INFO.
Following the rule that we should always prefer the secure flavour over
the regular one unless there's a clear reason for the regular one, let's
switch this over. Better safe than sorry.
