It looks like garbled output… I didn't use shell-escape, because the other
characters that are special for the shell that are used in versions should
not be escaped.
So far we had the rule that '' == '', '0_' == '0', but '_' > ''. This means
that the general rule that strings are compared iteratively, and each
segment that compares equal can be dropped and the comparison resumes at
the following characters wasn't true in such cases. Similarly, '0~' < '0',
but after dropping the common segment, '~' > ''.
The special handling of empty strings is dropped, and '_' == '' and
'~' < ''.
shmat() requires the CAP_IPC_OWNER capability. When running test-seccomp
in environments with root + CAP_SYS_ADMIN, but not CAP_IPC_OWNER,
memory_deny_write_execute_shmat would fail. This fixes it.
kernel's 'make install' invokes install.sh which calls /sbin/install-kernel.
Thus we are invoked as e.g.
/sbin/installkernel 5.18.0 arch/x86/boot/bzImage System.map /boot
The last two arguments would be passed as "initrds".
Before , we would just quitely ignore
/boot, because it doesn't pass the 'test -f' test, and possibly try to do
something with System.map. 742561efbe tightened
the check, so we now throw an error.
It seems that the correct thing is to ignore those two arguments, because
our plugin syntax has no notion of System.map. And the installation directory
we can figure out ourselves better. Effectively, this makes things behave
like before, but less by accident.
Fixes#23490.
We said "`$BOOT/loader/` is the directory containing all files needed
for Type #1 entries" which is blatantly wrong. And also saying that we
define two directories, /loader and /loader/entries, but only ever defining
the second one was not very consistent.
Instead, let's say that /loader/ is for "boot loader configuration", and
/loader/entries has the snippets. A new section about /<entry-token>/<version>/
is added. This is described as the "recommended layout for additional files".
Also, we said that ID= should be used in the file name, but in fact it
wasn't in the example that was given, and afaik, nobody ever did that. So
this part is reduced to say "kernel version (as returned by `uname -r`,
including the OS identifier)". AFAIK, all distros include some form of
OS identifier in the version, so this should be good enough.
Since we now don't depend on autodetection (e.g. with entry-token and layout
configured), the installed doesn't need to always create /loader/entries and
things will still work. So don't say that the installer needs to create it.
Part of the discussion is moved to the Discussion section.
Overall, this brings the specification more in line with actual practice.
I tried not to introduce any semantic changes, but to reorder the whole
text to be more usable as a reference specification: more sections are
created and the discussion and justifications are moved to the end.
Also, "BIOS" is changed to "firmware" in various places, and other parts
of the text that made sense when this was originally written are now dated
are adjusted. I separated and extended the examples a bit.
The abstract at the top ("TL;DR: Currently there’s no common boot scheme…")
is dropped. It didn't seem to fit anywhere.
Some NEWS entries are tweaked a bit to address complaints about readability
from users.
"udev" is pronounced as /ˈjuːdɛv/, like in "user", hence "a" not "an".
When closing a loop device, the kernel will asynchronously remove
the probed partitions. This can lead to race conditions where we
try to reuse a partition device that still needs to be removed by
the kernel. To avoid such issues, let's explicitly try to remove
any partitions using BLKPG_DEL_PARTITION when we're done with an
image.
To make sure we don't try to remove partitions when we want them
to remain (e.g. systemd-dissect --mount), we add
dissected_image_relinquish() in a similar vein to loop_device_relinquish()
and decrypted_image_relinquish().
Let the table span more than the default content width,
if the table contains alot of data (controlled by width: auto)
(720px is very good for continuous text, but too narrow for tables).
The container class is therefore adapted to put the
width restriction on the elements itself, allowing for
exceptions for individual elements like <table> and
<h1> (which used an offset margin before and is now
streamlined to use a max-width as well).
Also add a striped background to ease reading rows
and allow for horizontal mobile scrolling without
overflowing the entire document, only the table itself.

If both gnutls and openssl are available, prefer openssl.
We are gradually moving toward supporting openssl only as the
crypto library, and the resolved gnutls backend will be dropped
at some point, so start nudging users toward the openssl one.
The format described by this document is used not only for coredumps,
but also for other purposes, so we've outgrown the old title.
A redirect was added based on https://codepo8.github.io/github-redirection-demo/.
I tried to use a relative link, but it's hard to test if it works
before merging.
