On some UEFI implementations, like the AMI found in the Supermicro
X10SDV-TP8F development board, the fat32 partition will be loaded
first and so Grub will set it the root, and then drop to the console
as it cannot find any config on it.
Add a minimal grub.cfg that allows Grub to find the main config on
the ISO 9660 partition and load it.

Machines tend to become unresponsive during the mksquashfs step.
Avoid this by lowering the priority of the process.

Commit a15b579652 (#775989) dropped an early exit from the
chroot_archives remove step in case the parent mirror chroot and binary
parameters are the same and introduced a regression, as with the
following live-build now fails when the parent mirror is using a file:/
local apt repository (for example when the build worker is offline and
uses a pre-built cache of packages).
Example config:
lb config --mirror-bootstrap "file:/pkgs" \
--mirror-chroot "file:/pkgs/" \
--mirror-binary "file:/pkgs" \
--parent-mirror-bootstrap "file:/pkgs" \
--parent-mirror-chroot "file:/pkgs/" \
--parent-mirror-binary "file:/pkgs" \
...
with /pkgs being a directory with the packages for the installation and
the apt metadata (Packages/Sources/Release).
The problem is that, with such a setup, the /pkgs directory is bind
mounted inside the chroot as an optimisation in the install step,
and umounted as one of the first actions in the remove step for
chroot_archives.
Before that fix, the script terminated immediately. But now it
progresses and at the end it tries to run apt update inside the chroot
which will fail since the repository directory has been umounted, and
thus the packages and the apt metadata are no longer available, while
still being listed in /etc/apt/sources.list.
The proposed solution is to umount the local directory at the end of
the remove step, rather than at the beginning.

Now grub.cfg shows all the kernel options. Before this patch when you
had more than two kernels it only showed the auto option.

To generate an hdd image, binary_hdd first estimates the needed size of
the image using du. By default, when du finds multiple hardlinked copies
of a file, it counts them only once. However, when the target filesystem
is FAT, which does not support hardlinks, these files will take up more
space when finally copying the contents, breaking the build:
P: Copying binary contents into image...
cp: error writing 'chroot/binary.tmp/live/initrd.img-4.9.0-3-amd64': No space left on device
cp: error writing 'chroot/binary.tmp/efi/boot/bootx64.efi': No space left on device
cp: error writing 'chroot/binary.tmp/efi/boot/bootia32.efi': No space left on device
cp: cannot create directory 'chroot/binary.tmp/boot/grub': No space left on device
cp: cannot create directory 'chroot/binary.tmp/isolinux': No space left on device
To fix this, pass --count-links to du when the target is FAT, to make
the space estimation correct.
This problem is exposed by commit 9c974b26b (Instead of renaming kernel
for syslinux, create hardlinks), which might need to be separately fixed
(to not waste space on FAT targets), but binary_hdd should at least
handle hardlinks more gracefully.
Since commit fdc9250bc (Changing package dependency checks within chroot
to work outside as well), Check_package automatically checks for
LB_BUILD_WITH_CHROOT and works inside as well as outside of the chroot,
so no need to check LB_BUILD_WITH_CHROOT before calling them.
Install_package and Remove_package are just a no-op when building
without chroot, so they can also be called unconditionally.
Restore_cache and Save_cache do not check LB_BUILD_WITH_CHROOT but it
it should not hurt to call them when not needed (which already happened
in some cases).
This commit makes all Check_package calls unconditional on
LB_BUILD_WITH_CHROOT.
For binary_syslinux, this fixes the check (which used outdated paths
outside the chroot since 7b6dfd9d1), for binary_grub-efi,
binary_package-lists and chroot_package-lists this simplifies the code
(but also causes the check to become package-based instead of file-based
on apt-based systems), and for binary_loadlin and binary_win32-loader
this adds the check outside the chroot which was previously missing.
* Use only long kernel names.
* Put advanced options in a submenu.
* Use distro-agnostic labels.
* Don't generate entries with kernel version when we have a single
version.
This option lets you use an alternate bootstrap script when running
debootstrap. Thanks to Sjoerd Simons <sjoerd@debian.org> for the initial
patch.
Closes: #790033
Commit e24e4b in debootstrap fixed setup_available to work in the
--foreign case (iotw at the second stage). Unfortunately this breaks
things if components aren't passed to the second stage _and_ your main
component isn't called main.
To fix this, pass --components to both the first and second stage
debootstrap when needed.

Up to now we created a temporary GPG key that we registered with apt-key
but with the switch to GnuPG 2 by default, this code broke. Now we stop
doing that but we add the “trusted=yes“ attribute in sources.list so
that APT knows that the repository can be trusted even if it's unsigned.

This work is based on debian-cd team work and uses,
as much as possible, the same mkisofs options
than the Debian Installation CD disk does.
It assumes that /boot/grub/grub.cfg (and other design items)
is generated by: binary_loopback_cfg .
It relies on efi-image and grub-cpmodules being setup
as build scripts on live-build package.
In the future event of these two files being moved
to a binary package (they are originally from:
src: live-installer) the binary_grub-efi script would have
to be rewritten to take the new paths into account.
These two scripts simplify the creation of efi images based on grub-efi.
I have decided to simply steal them. If I had to include them thanks to a source package that would have mean that an src repo would have to be defined by default.
TODO: Ask in a bug a RFE so that these two scripts are put into a binary that could be consumed by both live-installer and live-build packages.
The binary parts of grub-pc are left for the original binary_grub-pc.
As a consequence both /boot/grub/grub.cfg and /boot/grub/loopback.cfg files will be present in any Debian Live CD.
This might be useful to be reused from binary_grub-* bootloaders.
* Added: functions/bootloaders.sh . This file adds bootloader functions that are heavily used in efi scenarios where a bootloader can act as a first or an extra bootloader.
Since the introduction of the new switch:
--bootloaders
you can setup it like this:
--bootloaders=syslinux,grub-efi
.
This means that syslinux is the first bootloader and grub-efi is the extra bootloader.
* Added new bootloader functions: Check_Non_First_Bootloader and Check_Non_Extra_Bootloader.
These functions let each one of the bootloaders abort the build because
they cannot perform a role either as a first bootloader or as an extra bootloader.
* Added bootloader functions: Check_First_Bootloader_Role, Check_Extra_Bootloader_Role and Check_Any_Bootloader_Role
These functions let bootloaders to force their default role in a single line.
At the same time many binary bootloaders were rewritten to make use of the new bootloader role functions explained above.
These roles were enforced:
binary_grub-legacy : First bootloader
binary_grub-pc : Either first or extra bootloader
binary_syslinux : Either first or extra bootloader
If a bootloader is tried to be used in a role that it's not meant to be used then the build fails because that might lead to a non-bootable system.
The fix in a294a46fb9 was not enough.
This should finally resolve the problem when a package list ends
up empty (most notably due to #if evaluating to false).

Some BIOSes dont't boot from partitions starting at sector 1024.
Some are even more peculiar and only start from sector 63.
This patch adds an option for the binary_hdd target to manually
configure the partition start.
