|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| fix-busybox-do-not-install-blkid-unconditionally.patch | fix(busybox): do not install blkid unconditionally The busybox `blkid` applet does not support the option `-o` and `-s`, but `blkid` is used with those options in `modules.d/70dmsquash-live-autooverlay/create-overlay.sh` and `modules.d/70dmsquash-live/dmsquash-live-root.sh`. So always exclude the `blkid` busybox applet. Part of: https://github.com/dracut-ng/dracut/issues/2437 |

| feat-debian.conf-prefer-busybox.patch | feat(debian.conf): prefer busybox Include busybox on Debian/Ubuntu if available. This reduces the size of the initrd significantly. Some data for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS "resolute" using the current `ubuntu:rolling` container with a modified test 10. The data is collected with `ls -l` and `3cpio --examine`. ## Without plymouth An initrd without plymouth and without busybox uses 42.0 MB (42001866 bytes) when zstd compressed: ``` Start End Size Compr. Extracted 0 B 92.0 kB 92.0 kB cpio 91.1 kB 92.0 kB 17.3 MB 17.2 MB cpio 17.0 MB 17.3 MB 42.0 MB 24.7 MB zstd 77.9 MB ``` The same initrd with busybox needs only 37.9 MB (37861705 bytes) when zstd compressed: ``` Start End Size Compr. Extracted 0 B 92.0 kB 92.0 kB cpio 91.1 kB 92.0 kB 17.3 MB 17.2 MB cpio 17.0 MB 17.3 MB 37.9 MB 20.6 MB zstd 65.4 MB ``` So 4.1 MB (9.9 %) disk space is saved and 12.5 MB (16.0 %) memory after decompression is saved. ## With plymouth An initrd with plymouth and without busybox uses 49.5 MB (49493709 bytes) when zstd compressed: ``` Start End Size Compr. Extracted 0 B 92.0 kB 92.0 kB cpio 91.1 kB 92.0 kB 17.3 MB 17.2 MB cpio 17.1 MB 17.3 MB 49.5 MB 32.2 MB zstd 99.4 MB ``` The same initrd with busybox needs only 45.3 MB (45348147 bytes) when zstd compressed: ``` Start End Size Compr.

| fix-nbd-use-usr-sbin-nbd-client-for-CONFIG_FEATURE_PREFER.patch | fix(nbd): use /usr/sbin/nbd-client for CONFIG_FEATURE_PREFER_APPLETS The busybox Dracut modules skips installing some incompatible applets. This workaround has no effect in case busybox was built with `CONFIG_FEATURE_PREFER_APPLETS`. The Debian/Ubuntu busybox-static package is built with that option. This causes the NBD test to fail: ``` $ TEST_CONTAINER_COMMAND="apt update && apt install --yes busybox-static" test/test.sh ubuntu:devel 72 [...] [ 1.345256] dracut-initqueue[634]: nbd-client: unrecognized option '-check' [ 1.346137] dracut-initqueue[634]: BusyBox v1.38.0 (Ubuntu 1:1.38.0-3ubuntu1) multi-call binary.

| test-BUSYBOX-check-built-with-CONFIG_FEATURE_TR_CLASSES.patch | test(BUSYBOX): check built with CONFIG_FEATURE_TR_CLASSES Dracut uses code like `tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'` that require the busybox feature `CONFIG_FEATURE_TR_CLASSES`.

| fix-lsinitrd-do-no-sort-cpio-output-if-not-needed.patch | fix(lsinitrd): do no sort cpio output if not needed lsinitrd will try to sort the cpio output by the file which is normally key 9, but this is not the case for special files. Therefore special files are shown first: ``` drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 19 15:31 . crw-r--r-- 1 root root 5, 1 Aug 19 15:31 dev/console crw-r--r-- 1 root root 1, 11 Aug 19 15:31 dev/kmsg crw-r--r-- 1 root root 1, 3 Aug 19 15:31 dev/null crw-r--r-- 1 root root 1, 8 Aug 19 15:31 dev/random crw-r--r-- 1 root root 1, 9 Aug 19 15:31 dev/urandom lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Aug 19 15:31 bin -> usr/bin drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 19 15:31 dev drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 19 15:31 etc [...] ``` This sorting is confusing and not needed in the normal case. Normally the content of the cpio is already sorted. So removing the sorting. Then the output is in correct order: ``` drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 19 15:31 . lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Aug 19 15:31 bin -> usr/bin drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 19 15:31 dev crw-r--r-- 1 root root 5, 1 Aug 19 15:31 dev/console crw-r--r-- 1 root root 1, 11 Aug 19 15:31 dev/kmsg crw-r--r-- 1 root root 1, 3 Aug 19 15:31 dev/null crw-r--r-- 1 root root 1, 8 Aug 19 15:31 dev/random crw-r--r-- 1 root root 1, 9 Aug 19 15:31 dev/urandom drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 19 15:31 etc [...] ``` |

| fix-multipath-include-Debian-specific-priority-of-udev-ru.patch | fix(multipath): include Debian-specific priority of udev rules In Debian multipath-tools 0.13.0-1 carries 0004-Debian-specific-priority-of-udev-rules.patch which changes the priority of udev rules with following reasoning: 11-dm-*.rules supposedly should apply after dmsetup rules, but in Debian these have priority 55 instead of 11. Also for historic reasons, multipath.rules and kpartx.rules have a slightly higher prio in Debian than upstream. The result is that kpartx is not run when booting, multipath disk partitions are not found, and boot fails. Until Debian/Ubuntu and upstream agrees on one common naming, include the renumbered udev rules (similar to what has been done in the dm and lvm Dracut modules). |

| fix-net-lib-normalize-iSCSI-target-names-on-the-iqn.-eui..patch | 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-iscsi-do-not-source-the-boot-time-net-lib.sh-into-mod.patch | 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()`. Fixes 843af3e751782285cd2bc7c9a3a9d33e843fb91d |

| fix-base-sanitize-message-written-by-die-to-the-emergency.patch | fix(base): sanitize message written by die() to the emergency hook It is possible that not all messages passed to `die()` are trusted. E.g., netroot.sh calls: ``` die "No handler for netroot type '$netroot'" ``` The value of `$netroot` can be taken from the DHCP root-path option; that would be safe thanks to previous fixes that escape DHCP values before writing them to dhclient's dhcpopts files. But, it may also be taken directly from the `netroot=` kernel command line option, allowing any type of characters. Use the `escape()` helper and single-quote the message instead, which is the safe usage documented for escape(). |

| feat-put-compressed-kernel-modules-and-firmware-in-an-unc.patch | feat: put compressed kernel modules and firmware in an uncompressed cpio Dracut compresses all files that are put into the initramfs. Kernel modules and firmware files might already be compressed. Compressing those files will not give any size savings. So put compressed kernel modules and firmware files in an uncompressed cpio instead. This will speed up the initrd generation and extraction without a significant size change of the initrd. See https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/initramfs-tools/-/merge_requests/128 and https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2023-July/042707.html for a similar change in initramfs-tools. |

Since leds-qcom-lpg lives under drivers/leds/rgb/ it is not automatically picked-up by the existing 'instmods "=drivers/pwm"', add it explicitly to the instmods argument to get it included into the initramfs.

| fix-busybox-use-full-path-provided-by-busybox-list-full.patch | fix(busybox): use full path provided by busybox --list-full `busybox --list` only lists the names of the included applets but does not show their paths. The busybox module looks for the path on the host system. It will skip the applet in case the binary is not found on the host system. Rely on `busybox --list-full` to provide the path for the applets. That way all applets can be installed. Support getting relative paths (like `bin/busybox`) in addition to absolute paths (like `/bin/busybox`). |

Using those plain applet names, links will be placed in / in the initramfs, which is not on PATH, causing chaos. If we get plain applet names, try to find their installed paths, and use those if found. Otherwise guess usr/bin.

| feat-busybox-run-before-80base-so-applets-replace-host-bi.patch | feat(busybox): run before 80base so applets replace host binaries Distros that ship large coreutils binaries (e.g. Ubuntu 26.04 with rust-coreutils) increase the initrd size because 80base copies the host's binaries like cp, ls, mv in full. Rename modules.d/81busybox to modules.d/10busybox so the busybox module runs first. It lays down /usr/bin/busybox and applet symlinks before 80base's inst_multiple calls. The host's util-linux switch_root is still preferred. |

The `13-dm-disk.rules` udev rule might either use the builtin blkid or call `/sbin/blkid -o udev -p $tempnode`. The latter is not supported by busybox. So check the udev rule to call `blkid` with `-o` and do not install this busybox applet in this case. |

| fix-busybox-do-not-install-mount-applet.patch | fix(busybox): do not install mount applet The busybox `mount` applet does not resolve "auto" to the actual filesystem and therefore passes `auto` directly to mount(2). If the target partition's filesystem driver (e.g., `ext4`, `xfs`) is compiled as a module and not yet loaded into `/proc/filesystems`, the kernel skips `request_module()` and returns `EINVAL` (Invalid argument). For example `test/test.sh debian:sid 10` fails with, because `ext4` is not loaded: ``` systemd[1]: Mounting sysroot.mount - /sysroot... ``` Instead of adding a quirky workaround to probe the device and load the relevant filesystem driver, do not install the `mount` applet. |

Busybox does not provide a `mkfs.ext4` applet and `mkfs.ext*` would point to busybox then. This can be seen when including the busybox module: ``` $ test/test.sh ubuntu:devel 21 [...] CLIENT TEST START: encrypted overlay (new device, random password) [...] [ 7.398868] dracut-pre-pivot[289]: Creating ext4 filesystem on /dev/mapper/overlay-crypt [ 7.400071] dracut-pre-pivot[373]: mkfs.ext4: applet not found ``` So do not install the `mke2fs` busybox applet. |

This missing option is reported upstream at https://github.com/vda-linux/busybox_mirror/issues/36. The Dracut busybox module skips installing the sulogin applet.

Busybox mount will pass `auto` directly to the kernel. If the target partition's filesystem driver is compiled as a module and not yet loaded, the kernel skips request_module() and returns EINVAL (Invalid argument). This missing feature is reported upstream at https://github.com/vda-linux/busybox_mirror/issues/34 The Dracut busybox module skips intstalling the mount applet. This has no effect when using busybox-static because busybox-static is built with CONFIG_FEATURE_PREFER_APPLETS enabled. Busybox sh will prefer the incompatible mount applet instead of using the real mount binary. So use absolute paths for `mount` where needed. Absolute paths for mount is needed for cases where the type is `auto` or not specified. Some code already determines the type and mounts the relevant kernel module: ```sh fstype=$(det_img_fs "$1") load_fstype "$fstype" mount -r "$1" "$2" ``` |
