initramfs-tools 0.131ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

initramfs-tools (0.131ubuntu1) cosmic; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable.  Remaining changes:
    - debian/control: Breaks isc-dhcp-client << 4.3.3-5ubuntu14, since we're
      calling the dhclient binary in scripts/functions now.
    - Retain netboot= compatibility option.
    - Retain cryptopts= compatibility option.
    - Make busybox-initramfs a real runtime dependency, fixing
      kernel install failures with cryptsetup
    - support mounting of loopback devices via loop*= parameters
    - Drop hooks/keymap and associated code; console-setup takes care of
      this in Ubuntu.
    - Don't load keymaps unless we're loading a framebuffer; but set the
      keymap before giving a root shell.
    - Set takeover=1 in update-initramfs.
    - Add a new 'fixrtc' script that tries to set the system clock forward
      based on the last mount time of the root disk; without this kludge,
      systems without a working RTC will end up in a perpetual reboot loop.
    - Set hostname at boot, for the benefit of mdadm autoassembly.
    - Allow scripts and hooks to specify OPTION=VAR, and unless VAR is set
      to something other than "n", the script will not be included.
    - Restore the framebuffer hook and script, copying KMS and other
      framebuffer drivers into the initramfs, but make them optional; you
      need to set FRAMEBUFFER=y for these to be included.
    - Add hwaddr= alias for BOOTIF= for compatibility.
    - Automatically blacklist vga16fb when vga= or video= specified on
      kernel command-line.
    - add squashfs to list of 'most' modules
    - Add vfat modules to the initramfs.
    - Add Hyper-V paravirtualised device drivers to the initramfs to allow
      booting of stock images in a Hyper-V guest.
    - ppc64el: enable PowerPC NX Crypto Coprocessor
    - Add mountroot failure support, to allow meaningful messages when no
      root device can be found.
    - Increase rootdelay to 180s on powerpc/ppc64/ppc64el
    - resume: only resume when the partition contains a resume image
    - resume: announce resume via plymouth if available
    - Add new initramfs-tools-bin package containing a binary that uses
      libudev to wait for udev to create the udev device, or wait for udev
      to finish processing if we catch it in the act, and returns the
      filesystem type as already probed by udev.
    - local_device_setup: use wait-for-root if it supports the device alias
      type
    - Incorporate rzscontrol from compcache so that we can control current
      ramzswap devices.
    - Support loading compcache from the initramfs.
    - debian/control: update Vcs-* links for Ubuntu.
    - Add support for uppercase and lowercase uuids.
    - init: Don't interpret "rootdelay" as a static sleep, reverting Debian
      commit ab91306.
    - scripts/local: Let rootdelay determine the wait-for-root timeout instead
      of the shell polling loop that comes after it, as we should never hit the
      latter in Ubuntu (where we require udev everywhere).
    - scripts/functions: by default, when setting up networking, use dhclient
      if we're asked to do DHCP explicitly, or if we otherwise are expected
      to do things automatically.
    - scripts/functions: make sure we can try to start all available and
      suitable interfaces if ip= isn't set when setting up the network, and
      exit as soon as we get an IP address.
    - scripts/functions: for configure_networking:
      - split out IPv6 options in its own cmdline parameter: ip6= ; always use
        dhclient in this case if the value set is anything other than 'off' or
        'none'. Furthermore, parse anything other than 'on', 'dhcp' or 'any'
        as the name of an interface.
      - rework the stop conditions so that we properly handle the ROUNDTTT
        loop, timing out after a short period of time and trying again after
        a short sleep.
      - add a 'done' parameter for both ip= and ip6= so that we can properly
        exit the ROUNDTTT loop once we know that either there is no work to
        do, or that we've achieved what we wanted (that is, to bring up IPv4,
        IPv6, or possibly both).
      - return ip=dhcp to the ipconfig use case; if set, then ipconfig will
        be run using any interface available, or the BOOTIF if it was set.
    - Only source ipv4 config in configure_networking() if it exists.
    - hook-functions, mkinitramfs, scripts/functions: support usage of dns
      after configure_networking.
    - Include mlx4 and mlx5 InfiniBand modules
    - Fix resuming a hibernate session from a swapfile
    - scripts/functions: write netplan config files to /run/netplan for
      network devices configured with configure_networking.
  * Dropped changes, no longer needed:
    - drop Breaks: against upstart; no longer present in Ubuntu for bionic or
      later.
    - When receiving "recovery" on cmdline, start upstart with --startup-
      event=recovery
    - hook-functions: include backported bnxt driver; this was a backport to
      trusty and xenial, no reason to continue carrying this special case
  * Dropped changes, included in Debian:
    - hook-functions: include vmd driver.
    - hooks/resume: don't generate RESUME config pointing to
      randomly-crypted swap devices.
    - hooks/resume: cherry-pick patch from upstream git to fix
      auto-configuration of resume devices that are on LVM; always refer to
      them by name, never by UUID.
  * Change netplan tests to use 'example1' as a device name, so that it
    won't collide with real devices on the system and result in unexpected
    output; this allows us to re-enable the tests on non-x86 architectures.
