flash-kernel 3.98ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

flash-kernel (3.98ubuntu1) eoan; urgency=medium

  * Merge with Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
    - add "quiet splash" as default options to omap bootscr
    - re-add support for the FLASH_KERNEL_SKIP env variable, so the image
      build infrastructure has a chance to skip the automated flash-kernel run
      during image builds.
    - Also check for FLASH_KERNEL_SKIP to avoid setting up the root parameter
      in case flash-kernel will not be used
    - make the package postinst respect FLASH_KERNEL_SKIP
    - make sure that if we dont want to override the bootloader root=
      option by setting "Bootloader-sets-root: yes", we actually dont do it
    - 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
    - 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
    - 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
    - Call systemd-detect-virt instead of the Ubuntu specific
      running-in-container wrapper.
    - Add generic-lpae to the XB-Subarchitecture list in debian/control
    - debian/flash-kernel-installer.isinstallable: add arm*/generic-lpae
    - Fix typo in dtb_kver test that made it break all non-dtb platforms.
    - Apply patch from Paolo Pisati for appended DTB support
    - Filter the selection of 'latest' usable kernel through the whitelist.
    - Do not fail if there are no specified Kernel-Flavors for this machine.
    - 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 installing dtb files in boot partition
    - Add support for gzip-compressed kernel images
    - db/all.db: add dummy entries as noops when running on VMs
    - 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 Marvell ArmadaXP
      - Re-add support for Marvell ArmadaXP
      - Fix armadaxp kernel load address
    - 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 support for grouper boards
      - add support for the grouper architecture
    - Add support for Samsung Exynos 5440 platforms
      - Add support for EXYNOS5440-based platforms
    - Add support for HP ProLiant m400 and m800 cartridges
      - Added support for HP ProLiant m800 Server Cartridge
      - Add support for HP ProLiant m800 cartridges
      - Set required boot arguments for HP ProLiant m800 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 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 Raspberry Pi 2, 3, 3+, CM3, and CM3+
      - Extend support for the RPi2 to actually install the kernel/initramfs
        on the fat partition, and provide a uboot boot script based on the one
        used for Snappy images.
      - Extend functions to support generating uboot.env images, as an
        alternative to boot.scr and uEnv.txt, and use this for RPi2 as well.
      - Adjust the uboot.env.rpi2 to use the one Paolo Pisati has tested,
        instead of trying to base on the Snappy one, which is failing to boot.
      - Adjust the size of uboot.env based on empirical results on the rpi2.
      - Adjust rpi2/3 dtb address from 0x100 to 0x02000000
      - Support Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Rev 1.2
      - Add Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ to the db.
      - Modify the Pi 3 boot.scr addresses to fit a bigger kernel, prepare
        separate versions for armhf and arm64.
      - Add Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3 and 3+ to the db.
    - Add support for Nexus 4 (Mako)
      - Enabling support for mako (Nexus 4)
    - Add support for QCT APQ8064 CDP
      - Add support for QCT APQ8064 CDP; thanks Alfonso Sanchez-Beato.
    - Migrate default /etc/default/flash-kernel content to new default without
      asking via debconf
    - Update tests with new fields: Android-Skip-Initrd, Bootloader-sets-root,
      DTB-Kernel-Version
    - Look for dtbs in /lib/firmware/$kvers/device-tree/ in find_dtb_file()
    - Add Bootloader-sets-root to Toshiba AC100 [previously undocumented]
    - Install all potential uboot scripts [previously undocumented]
    - initramfs-hook/flash-kernel: Pretend we're running from the kernel's
      postinst to activate the same guard against mismatched kernel versions.
    - flash-kernel/functions: Stop attempting to install the latest kernel
      if we request an older version, just refuse to act without --force.

  * Dropped changes merged in Debian:
    - Remove commit-tmp cruft [previously undocumented]

  * Dropped obsolete changes:
    - Add archs (why?) and duplicate generic (why?!) in d/control [previously
      undocumented]
