flash-kernel (3.106ubuntu1) kinetic; urgency=medium
[ Dave Jones ]
* Merge from Debian unstable (LP: #1973801). Remaining changes:
- Add support for QCT APQ8064 CDP
- Add support for QCT APQ8064 CDP; thanks Alfonso Sanchez-Beato.
- Add support for Calxeda Highbank
- Add support for Calxeda Highbank (with bootscr.highbank different from
Debian's version)
- bootscr.highbank: allow more space to load larger kernels
- Add support for Nexus 4 (Mako)
- Enabling support for mako (Nexus 4)
- Add support for Marvell ArmadaXP
- Re-add support for Marvell ArmadaXP
- Fix armadaxp kernel load address
- Add support for Samsung Exynos 5440 platforms
- Add support for EXYNOS5440-based platforms
- Add generic-lpae to the XB-Subarchitecture list in debian/control
- debian/flash-kernel-installer.isinstallable: add arm*/generic-lpae
- Add support for HP ProLiant m400 cartridges
- Add support for HP ProLiant m400 Server Cartridges
- HP Moonshot Cartridges: Use $baudrate from u-boot environment as
serial console speed
- HP Moonshot Cartridges: Enable hardware flow control as required by
the HP moonshot chassis
- Enable U-Boot environment support for X-Gene platforms
- Use filesystem agnostic "load" command instead of assuming ext4
- Add a bootscript specific to X-Gene Mustang boards since they need to
pull their dtb from the OS.
- Add support for OMAP3 and OMAP4 boards
- add DB entry for "OMAP3 Beagle Board" (funnily thats missing)
- add Panda to the list of supported board in the README file
- debian/control: Re-add omap and omap4 to the flash-kernel-installer
XB-Subarchitecture field. These appear to have been lost somewhere
along the way.
- Also add omap and omap4 to flash-kernel-installer.isinstallable.
- switch omap3 and omap4 to uEnv.txt/preEnv.txt (the former holds all
active boot commands, the latter holds the kernel commandline only)
- switch omap3 and omap4 from Bootloader-sets-root: no to yes, we now
generate a root=UUID= line on the fly for arches using
uEnv.txt/preEnv.txt
- introduce bootscript/uEnvtxt.omap
- do not move the original uEnvtxt.omap to the target, use a copy
instead
- add "quiet splash" as default options to omap bootscr
- enable UUID detection of the currently used root device
- if uEnv.txt is defined in the db for an arch, generate preEnv.txt from
UBOOT_DEFAULTS and UUID detection data
- make sure blkid only gives us the UUID and not any other metadata like
labels or filesystem
- hide the boot device from udisk's automounting after installation on all
systems using uEnv.txt to configure u-boot
- make sure we only rename the bootrom partition so udisks hides it, when
using mkdosfs for setting the label like we did in jasper (where we
cached the contents before doing this) MLO and u-boot.bin are gone
- Add support for grouper boards
- add support for the grouper architecture
- db/all.db: add dummy entries as noops when running on VMs
- Add support for Wandboard Quad
- Wandboard: Use /dev/disk/by-path/platform-2198000.usdhc-part1 instead
of the hardcoded mmcblk1p1, this should make things work on boards
with just a single microSD card in.
- Add basic support for WandBoard Quad.
- Add support for AAarch64 Qualcomm laptops.
- Fix AARCH64 qcom laptop names, to those accepted upstream and in the
Ubuntu kernel.
- Add support for Raspberry Pi 2, 3, 3+, CM3, CM3+, and 4 using a unified
bootscript (replaces upstream's entries)
- Update pi bootscript to support all flash-kernel vars, including
calculated devtype and partition for future USB boot support
- Install all potential uboot scripts [previously undocumented]
- Add entry for Raspberry Pi 3A+
- Add entry for Raspberry Pi CM4
- Add entry for Raspberry Pi 400
- Import UC20 updates to the rpi bootscript from the snappy-dev/image
PPA
- Add Kernel-Flavors check to Raspberry Pi entries
- Support "raspi" kernel flavor
- make sure that if we dont want to override the bootloader root= option
by setting "Bootloader-sets-root: yes", we actually dont do it
- Update tests with new fields: Bootloader-sets-root
- use umount -l in the cleanup function, else we fail while finishing up
with the script
- add a diversion for update-initramfs to live-installers post-base-
installer.d to avoid update-initramfs runs before flash-kernel is
configured
- add a check for the diverted update-initramfs to flash-kernel-installer,
so it gets reverted before we try to call update-initramfs
- make post-base-installer.d/01flash-kernel-diversion actually an
executable shell script
- make sure that /dev is bind mounted in /target when running update-
initramfs from flash-kernel-installer, else we do not find the boot
media (this is only a workaround, actual fixing of the netinst
environment is needed to fix this properly)
- drop the "|| true" from the initramfs building code, if we fail here we
actually dont want to attempt to flash that
- Do not run flash-kernel inside an LXC container
- Migrate default /etc/default/flash-kernel content to new default without
asking via debconf
- Filter the selection of 'latest' usable kernel through the whitelist.
- Do not fail if there are no specified Kernel-Flavors for this machine.
- flash-kernel/functions: Stop attempting to install the latest kernel if
we request an older version, just refuse to act without --force.
- Look for dtbs in /lib/firmware/$kvers/device-tree/ in find_dtb_file()
- Allow us to find DTBs in both the old flat layout and the new vendor
subdirectory layout, so we keep backward compatibility
- Add support for gzip-compressed kernel images
- Fix mkimage_kernel tests
- Add tests for android-related functions
- Add "pi" value for the "Method" field which copies all dtbs and overlays
to the boot partition and provides defaults for the boot paths of the
kernel, initrd, and u-boot script.
- This fixes upgrades to support the Pi 4 on Bionic
- Permit initrd to be missing in flash-kernel
- Make U-boot optional in the "pi" method. From Groovy onwards, U-Boot
will be an option in the boot chain but not activated by default. For
the time being, the U-Boot-Script-Name will remain in the Pi entries,
but this commit permits it to be blank in future.
- Copy the Pi's bootloader firmware. At present, the Pi's bootloader
firmware is being copied to the boot partition by the postinst of the
linux-firmware-raspi2 package. However, flash-kernel should be
responsible for copying *everything* necessary to boot the Linux
kernel, hence this responsibility should be transferred to flash-
kernel.
- Ensure tests work independently of sort implementation
- Always run flash-kernel on install/upgrade
- Add pattern matching for machines
- A requirement has come up to permit a simple form of pattern matching
(specifically shell-style globbing) in the Machine field of the
database. This commit implements this via a "case" match.
- Add workaround for older u-boot versions that can fail to read files
using ext4 extents, and enable it for HP ProLiant m400 Moonshot Server
Cartridges.
- Make errors in workaround for HP Proliant m400 u-boot ext4 parsing bug
fatal.
- Install u-boot binaries in addition to u-boot scripts for the Pi
- Copy overlay_map.dtb into overlays/ sub-directory instead of the root of
the boot partition
- Add minor board revisions to db/all.db
- Add support for FIT images
- Support for ITS files
- New Boot-FIT-Path and Boot-ITS-File-Name DB fields
- Add Xilinx Kria SOM and ZCU10{2,4,6} boards to the devices database
- Drop the "systemd.gpt_auto=0 rd.systemd.unit=basic.target" values from
the snapd_standard_params, which have not been needed since pre-GA of
UC20 and were removed in pc gadget on 20th April 2020.
- Introduce "Boot-Kernel-Max-Size" and support for compressing kernel
images that exceed it. This will allow installation of larger
uncompressed kernels on HP ProLiant m400 cartridges.
- mkimage_fit: subst KERNEL_VERSION in ITS file with actual kernel
version.
- Add DB entry, bootscript and ITS templates for Mediatek AIoT i500 board.
- Cache lookup of Bootloader-Has-Broken-Ext4-Extent-Support for
significant performance improvement on Raspberry Pi
- Added note in db/all.db above Pi entries about "incorrect" DTB-Id
- Add raspi-nolpae kernel flavor to all supported boards
- Added entries for the Pi 4B rev 1.5, and moved CM4 and 400 models to
their own entries for the sake of clarity
- Include overlays/README in the files copied by Method: pi
- Add Kria KR260 support
- bootscr.zynqmp:
- Add Kria KV260 support on jammy and kinetic
- Add ZCU102/104/106 support on jammy and kinetic
- image-kria.its: add dtb files into fitimage
- Add kernel parameter for Kria TSN

- Remove raspi2 flavour
- The raspi2 flavour does not exist in Groovy onwards
* Removed patches obsoleted/merged by upstream:
- Cherry-pick patch from Debian to disable flash-kernel on EFI-based
systems.
- Add riscv64 support
- Add the following boards to db/all.db
