because some inst*() functions check the existance of the source files
and do not know about the "-H" option, some failed to install the
hostonly files.
inst* functions and dracut-install now accept the "-H" flag, which
logs all installed files to /lib/dracut/hostonly-files. This is used
to remove those files, if rd.hostonly is given on the kernel command line.
The info message written by require_binaries() was a bit frighten to
users. So just be a little bit more verbose.
If you have ideas on how to improve the message for these "soft"
dependency modules, please submit patches.
for a variable with spaces, e.g.:
EXT_KEYMAPS='backspace keypad euro2'
The following would occur:
print_vars: eval printf -v _value %s '$EXT_KEYMAPS'
print_vars: printf -v _value %s backspace keypad euro2
print_vars: [[ -n backspacekeypadeuro2 ]]
print_vars: printf '%s=\"%s\"\n' EXT_KEYMAPS backspacekeypadeuro2
Thanks to Sebastian Köln for the fix!
By convention, strstr should be a literal string match. Previously, it
would match as a glob pattern. Some code used that, so add new
functions strglob and strglobin to do what that code expects, and
specify them tightly too. strglob tests whether the glob pattern
matches the entire string (the name strglob is also used in the yorick
language, and that's what it does there), while strglobin tests whether
the glob pattern matches anywhere in the string.
Also tightens str_starts, str_ends, and str_replace to deal with
literal strings only. In a quick grep I did not find code that depended
on these functions matching globs.
Changes the call sites where strstr was used with glob patterns to use
strglobin or strglob as the intention seemed to be (or, in one case,
strstr with the * removed as it did not affect the result anyway).
Add new functions require_binaries() and require_any_binary() to be used
in the check() section of module-setup.sh.
These functions print a warning line telling the user, which binary is
missing for the specific dracut module.
This unifies the way of checking for binaries and makes the life of an
initramfs creator easier, if he wants to find out why a specific dracut
module is not included in the initramfs.
On SuSE the DASD configuration is kept in udev rules, one rule
file per device. So add a new module for copying and creating
these rules during boot.

Due to the 'inst_libdir_file "libnss_files*"' in the udev-rules module
this caues the /usr/lib/libnss_files-2.18.so* to be included. This is a
32-bit library and pulls in a 32-bit version of glibc also even on a
64-bit system.
This is due to the fact that ldconfig -pN will print [/usr]/lib paths
from the cache as well as [/usr]/lib64. As we handle these paths
specifically we should ignore these results from the cache.
Also there was a missing space when appending the ldconfig paths
onto our list meaning the last builtin and first ldconfig path
were unusable.
If new kernels have modules split out, handle the case, where modules
have to modalias and just install them.
Also add the crypto drivers and names to host_modalias.
--persistent-policy <policy>:
Use <policy> to address disks and partitions.
<policy> can be any directory name found in /dev/disk.
E.g. "by-uuid", "by-label"
This prints the kernel command line parameters for the current disk
layout.
$ dracut --print-cmdline
rd.luks.uuid=luks-e68c8906-6542-4a26-83c4-91b4dd9f0471
rd.lvm.lv=debian/root rd.lvm.lv=debian/usr root=/dev/mapper/debian-root
rootflags=rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,user_xattr,barrier=1,data=ordered
rootfstype=ext4
Because omit_drivers list use underline always, so when maching with it
the _mod need to be converted as well or sometimes omit-drivers will fail
silently.
Fix this by replace '-' with '_' in instmods function.

This is still RFC, as I had not done the --no-compress logic (or tested it).
Please see if this is OK:

Subject: [PATCH] dracut.sh: Support early microcode loading.
Implement it per Linux kernel Documentation/x86/early-microcode.txt
(from v3.11-rc0):
<start>
Early load microcode
====================
By Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com>
Kernel can update microcode in early phase of boot time. Loading microcode early
can fix CPU issues before they are observed during kernel boot time.
Microcode is stored in an initrd file. The microcode is read from the initrd
file and loaded to CPUs during boot time.
The format of the combined initrd image is microcode in cpio format followed by
the initrd image (maybe compressed). Kernel parses the combined initrd image
during boot time. The microcode file in cpio name space is:
on Intel: kernel/x86/microcode/GenuineIntel.bin
on AMD : kernel/x86/microcode/AuthenticAMD.bin
During BSP boot (before SMP starts), if the kernel finds the microcode file in
the initrd file, it parses the microcode and saves matching microcode in memory.
If matching microcode is found, it will be uploaded in BSP and later on in all
APs.
The cached microcode patch is applied when CPUs resume from a sleep state.
There are two legacy user space interfaces to load microcode, either through
/dev/cpu/microcode or through /sys/devices/system/cpu/microcode/reload file
in sysfs.
In addition to these two legacy methods, the early loading method described
here is the third method with which microcode can be uploaded to a system's
CPUs.
The following example script shows how to generate a new combined initrd file in
/boot/initrd-3.5.0.ucode.img with original microcode microcode.bin and
original initrd image /boot/initrd-3.5.0.img.
mkdir initrd
cd initrd
mkdir -p kernel/x86/microcode
cp ../microcode.bin kernel/x86/microcode/GenuineIntel.bin (or AuthenticAMD.bin)
find . | cpio -o -H newc >../ucode.cpio
cd ..
cat ucode.cpio /boot/initrd-3.5.0.img >/boot/initrd-3.5.0.ucode.img
<end>
That is what we do in the patch. Furthermoere there is also
an off-switch: "no-early-microcode" to disable it.
