fix(iscsi): normalize the target name in the generated netroot=
Commit 843af3e751782285cd2bc7c9a3a9d33e843fb91d normalized `rd.iscsi.initiator=`
but left the target name in the `netroot=` line on the next line unnormalized,
even though both come from the same sysfs session directory and are subject to
the same RFC 3722 rules.
fix(iscsi): do not source the boot-time net-lib.sh into module-setup.sh
That sources all of net-lib.sh into dracut.sh, not just the one function that
is wanted. net-lib.sh defines `iface_for_remote_addr()`, which is also defined
in dracut-functions.sh with a different implementation, so the boot-time version
silently replaces it for the rest of the run. The version in dracut-functions.sh
parses `ip -o route get` and prints nothing when the route has no dev token;
the version in net-lib.sh parses `ip route get` and prints the last field
unconditionally, so an unreachable route yields the literal string "unreachable"
as an interface name. `ip_params_for_remote_addr()` then builds a bogus `ip=`
line from it.
Usually boot-time libraries are not sourced into the generator, helpers on both
sides are duplicated instead, e.g.: `iface_for_remote_addr()`.
fix(net-lib): normalize iSCSI target names on the iqn./eui./naa. path
Commit 843af3e751782285cd2bc7c9a3a9d33e843fb91d added a
`normalized_iscsi_name()` call at the end of `parse_iscsi_root()`, but that
statement is only reachable via the legacy positional parsing path. When the
target name is matched by the `*:iqn.*` / `*:eui.*` / `*:naa.*` case statement,
the function returns before the normalization is ever applied.
fix(dracut): do not exit the loop in push_user_devs() without checking all items
This function was copied from `push_host_devs()`, so it inherited the same bug.

on the command line with `--add-device=`, it silently discards the rest of the

fix(dracut): default to hostonly_cmdline=no in chroot
autopkgtest-build-qemu builds an image that should include a initrd that

When installing `linux-image-amd64`, `/dev` is not mounted and dracut
turns off host-only mode. That's what we want for this image. But then
`/dev` gets mounted and the initrd is regenerated (when installing
`grub-efi-amd64`). This time the initrd is build in host-only mode and
hostonly-cmdline is enabled.
So default to `hostonly_cmdline=no` in case a chroot is detected. Users
that want to use hostonly-cmdline in a chroot can specify
`hostonly_cmdline=yes` in the dracut config or call dracut with
`--hostonly-cmdline`.

While the intention for removing all After= and Requires= lines on
dbus.service and dbus.socket is to remove the dependency on
sysinit.target, this unintentionally removes the Requires=dbus.socket
dependency for dbus.service as well, which is present in both upstream
dbus and dbus-broker.
Restrict the pattern to only lines mentioning sysinit.target, to better
match what Ubuntu has added downstream.
This fixes or at least works around a problem where
NetworkManager.service can fail to start in the openRuyi distribution.
The symptom is:
- dbus.service is sometimes not stopped before switching root
- ... which causes units in the (non-initrd) system to not bring up
dbus.service, since it is already active.
- Afterwards, dbus.service stops on its own, possibly because the
initramfs is gone.
- Then, NetworkManager.service tries to start, but since it
BindsTo=dbus.service, and dbus.service has already stopped,
NetworkManager.service fails to start.

This new module relies on chrony to add support for NTP in the initrd. By
default, it also uses NTP sources from DHCP.
It provides two new kernel command line options:
- `rd.ntp`: it can be used multiple times to specify server, pool and peer time
sources.
- `rd.ntp.nodhcp`: it disables the use of NTP sources from DHCP.
In some environments, it's necessary to fetch live images from HTTPS URLs. The
problem is that the hardware clock may be off, so the validation of the SSL
certificates may fail if the time is out of sync. Also, some systems may not
have access to DHCP for security reasons, that's why we need a way to configure
them on the kernel command line.

On Qualcomm sc8280xp and x1e laptops the kernel reboots the ADSP with new
firmware because the BIOS loads ADSP firmware with limited functionality
without sound or battery charge/status reading support.
Unfortunately the ADSP also controls the TCPM (Type-C Port Manager) and
rebooting the ADSP also resets the TCPM, causing any USB devices connected
over Type-C ports to get disconnected as all devices on the USB bus are
removed and re-enumerated.
This breaks booting from USB-drives as the drive gets disconnected and
re-enumerated as a new block device, leaving any filesystems mounted
before the ADSP reset without any backing device.
To workaround this add a module to load the ADSP driver from a pre-udev
hook so that the USB re-enumeration happens before the rootfs is mounted.

silently skipped.
This was previously masked by glibc's fts implementation which ignored
FTS_NOSTAT when FTS_LOGICAL was also set, always calling stat and
returning FTS_F. A recent glibc change (commit 99303f3871, "io: Use

The result is that all '=directory' pattern module installs (=drivers,

from Ubuntu to Debian.
Switch to `ubuntu:rolling` which is the latest Ubuntu release which
should be stable enough for our purposes. Ubuntu gets a new release
every six month in comparsion to Debian which cuts a new release around
every two years.

fix(virtfs): move mount hook to pre-mount
Mount hooks are executed after sysroot.mount when systemd is used.
However, the systemd generated sysroot.mount from kernel cmdline will
always fail when the given root= begins with virtfs:, making the system
unable to start.
Moving the mount hook to pre-mount will mount the 9p virtfs directly
onto /sysroot and the generated sysroot.mount will be ignored. This
practice is similar to what is in virtiofs.

test(run-qemu): use -accel kvm instead of -enable-kvm
-enable-kvm is believed to be deprecated [1] and -accel kvm should be
used instead. -enable-kvm will not support new architectures even if KVM
is actually supported on these architectures. -accel kvm is recommended
instead as a unified option to enable KVM on all the architectures.
