Commit Message

Jose Ignacio Tornos Martinez Jan. 14, 2024, 8:06 a.m. UTC
The new installkernel application that is now included in systemd-udev
package allows installation although destination files are already present
in the boot directory of the kernel package, but is failing with the
implemented workaround for the old installkernel application from grubby
package.

For the new installkernel application, as Davide says:
<<The %post currently does a shuffling dance before calling installkernel.
This isn't actually necessary afaict, and the current implementation
ends up triggering downstream issues such as
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/29568
This commit simplifies the logic to remove the shuffling. For reference,
the original logic was added in commit 3c9c7a14b627("rpm-pkg: add %post
section to create initramfs and grub hooks").>>

But we need to keep the old behavior as well, because the old installkernel
application from grubby package, does not allow this simplification and
we need to be backward compatible to avoid issues with the different
packages.

Mimic Fedora shipping process and store vmlinuz, config amd System.map
in the module directory instead of the boot directory. In this way, we will
avoid the commented problem for all the cases, because the new destination
files are not going to exist in the boot directory of the kernel package.

Replace installkernel tool with kernel-install tool, because the latter is
more complete.

Besides, after installkernel tool execution, check to complete if suitable
(same release and build) vmlinuz, System.map and config files are present
in /boot directory, and if necessary, copy manually for install operation
or remmove manually for remove operation.

Tested with Fedora 38, Fedora 39, RHEL 9, Oracle Linux 9.3,
openSUSE Tumbleweed and openMandrive ROME, using dnf/zypper and rpm tools.

I do not understand why this is needed.

Please explain.


And, is the output of 'file' standardized?


You need to understand that ARCH is not always x86,
and /boot/vmlinuz-%{KERNELRELEASE}
is not always arch/x86/boot/bzImage.



See arch/arm64/Makefile

KBUILD_IMAGE    := $(boot)/Image.gz


For arm64, /boot/vmlinuz-%{KERNELRELEASE} is Image.gz

'file' says it is gzip data, that's all.
You cannot read the build version.

Unreadable.

I suggested code with indentation and quotation,
but you got rid of them.

Of course. 
Fisrt of all, I have seen (i.e. openSUSE Tumbleweed) that in the same way
that vmlinuz, System.map and config was not copied when the rpm was
installed (because of the reason that you commented with the missing
script), they were not removed when the rpm was removed, so I have added
the lines to remove in a similar way as you suggested for install. 
And I have seen as well (i.e. openSUSE Tumbleweed)) that if the a new rpm
is installed (same release but bigger build version to use default options
for the tool), vmlinuz, System.map and config are not copied from %post
because vmlinuz, System.map and config already exist and the situation is
not good, because /lib/modules/{KERNELRELEASE} is updated but the commented
files in /boot are not updated. That is the reason why I have tried to
identify when vmlinuz, System.map and config are not the good ones, to copy
too.
Besides, in the commented situation, the older rpm (same release but older
build version) is removed and with that, the new vmlinuz, System.map and
config are removed too. That is the reason that I have tried to identify
again the files, removing only the suitable vmlinuz, System.map and config
with the same release and build number requested.

> And, is the output of 'file' standardized?
With no more information, file is going to print the strings in the file,
that is, the information containig release, version, ... and here we can
find what we are interested in. So in some way depends on vmlinuz binary.

You are right, again good catch.
I will try to think something for aarch64. Maybe something more general,
and  independent of the kernel binary name, is possible and valid for other
architectures, maybe with rpm command.
If nothing comes up, I will do only for x86.

I did not want to modify the style.
Ok, I will follow your suggestion, it's clearer to me too.

Thanks

Here, you are wrong.

Those installed files should be removed by %ghost markers.
I already have a local patch to do this.
(see the attachment)


I just asked you to fix up the code as I suggested in v4.

For me (on Fedora 39 and openSUSE Tumbleweed), rpm fails due to file conflict.

vagrant@opensuse-tumbleweed20231218:~> sudo rpm -i
kernel-6.7.0_12924_g660a5f4a53e7-4.x86_64.rpm
file /lib/modules/6.7.0-12924-g660a5f4a53e7/vmlinuz from install of
kernel-6.7.0_12924_g660a5f4a53e7-4.x86_64 conflicts with file from
package kernel-6.7.0_12924_g660a5f4a53e7-3.x86_64

So, this does not happen.

No. Please do not.

I like the idea of your new patch, a lot of things can be fixed in that way.
Ok, I will remove the extra code to remove (%preun) in the patch.
Just a comment about your patch: for openSUSE /boot/initramfs-* files are
called /boot/initrd-* and maybe someone would not require it (i.e. embedded
systems). If it is created it is normally removed and it might not be
necessary (although I like your idea to control it).

> I just asked you to fix up the code as I suggested in v4.
Now I understand why no code was added in %preun.
Ok, your suggestion was very good, but let me try and explain better with
commands what I would like to fix after next point. When I said 'update'
wasn't clear, I think.
If it doesn't fit with your idea or global usage, I will include your
suggestion like it is.

I was refering to the cases when zypper is used to install a new kernel with
the same release and different build number or when 'rpm -i --replacefiles' 
is used (in this case it would be necessary to remove the old kernel with
'rpm -e --justdb' too).
In this cases we only need the possibility of copying the files from the new
package and not only if they don't exist.
I have thought about an easy way (no extra or problematic command) and I think
I have it.
In addition to your suggestion (if the file does not exit in /boot), I will
just compare the file in /boot with the file in /lib/modules/%{KERNELRELEASE}
and if it is not the same, we allow copying:
%post
if [ -x /usr/bin/kernel-install ]; then
        /usr/bin/kernel-install add %{KERNELRELEASE} /lib/modules/%{KERNELRELEASE}/vmlinuz
fi
for file in vmlinuz System.map config; do
        if [ ! -e "/boot/${file}-%{KERNELRELEASE}" ] || ! cmp --silent "/lib/modules/%{KERNELRELEASE}/${file}" "/boot/${file}-%{KERNELRELEASE}"; then
                cp "/lib/modules/%{KERNELRELEASE}/${file}" "/boot/${file}-%{KERNELRELEASE}"
        fi
done

Let me try with a new patch to know your opinion.

Thanks
