[PATCH] rootfs: run kernel-install after update-initramfs

[PATCH] rootfs: run kernel-install after update-initramfs

[srinuvasan.a via isar-users]

From: srinuvasan <srinuvasan.a@siemens.com>

When efibootguard is used as the primary bootloader and
systemd-boot as secondary, the WIC plugin expects /boot/EFI/Linux
to contain a unified kernel image for first boot.

Run kernel-install after update-initramfs to ensure the unified
kernel image is generated and placed correctly.

Invoke kernel-install for UKI generation only when:
- ukify binary is available
- /usr/lib/kernel/install.conf exists

Err, where/how do you define "primary" and "secondary" EFI bootloaders?
Note that EBG is isar-cip-core, and there we definitely do not have such
a concept. Can you elaborate what you want to achieve?

Who is using ukify? No one in isar or isar-cip-core at least. Are you
referring to an out-of-tree wic plugin with these changes?

In-tree (Isar), we still need to enable
meta/scripts/lib/wic/plugins/source/bootimg-efi-isar.py to generate
UKIs. But that would be systemd-boot UKI-only, no EBG then.

  Hi Jan,

 In our downstream project, we use a combination of EBG and systemd-boot, 
along with UKI (ukify) images.

EBG acts as the primary bootloader to enable watchdog support during early 
boot, while systemd-boot is used as a secondary bootloader to  select the 
appropriate Btrfs snapshot along with its corresponding UKI image.

If the system fails to be successfully “blessed” (e.g., due to issues 
detected during validation of a newly created Btrfs snapshot), we need a 
mechanism to fall back to a previously working snapshot and its associated 
UKI image. This fallback selection is handled by systemd-boot.

To support this flow, the WIC plugin expects /boot/EFI/Linux to contain the 
unified kernel image required for the first boot.
Therefore, we run kernel-install after update-initramfs to ensure that the 
unified kernel image is properly generated and placed in the expected 
location. 

Many thanks,
Srinu

Please contribute/continue so that we can find a standard and robust
version is CIP. Last version I saw internally was just broken.

>  In our downstream project, we use a combination of EBG and systemd-boot, 
> along with UKI (ukify) images.
>
> EBG acts as the primary bootloader to enable watchdog support during early 
> boot, while systemd-boot is used as a secondary bootloader to  select the 
> appropriate Btrfs snapshot along with its corresponding UKI image.
>
> If the system fails to be successfully “blessed” (e.g., due to issues 
> detected during validation of a newly created Btrfs snapshot), we need a 
> mechanism to fall back to a previously working snapshot and its associated 
> UKI image. This fallback selection is handled by systemd-boot.
>
> To support this flow, the WIC plugin expects /boot/EFI/Linux to contain 
> the unified kernel image required for the first boot.
> Therefore, we run kernel-install after update-initramfs to ensure that the 
> unified kernel image is properly generated and placed in the expected 
> location.
