init: provide fastforward path for the common case when validating init binary.

init: provide validate_init() wrapper to support absolute symlinks.

2010-08-07T03:02:05+00:00

If /sbin/init is an absolute symlink (e.g. to /bin/systemd) the readlink check doesn't work as $rootmnt is involved. The validate_init() shell function takes care of this fact, as well as when guessing the init binary points to a directory. For example Ubuntu's upstart has its configuration inside /etc/init whereas this is considered a valid run_init_process() binary by the Linux kernel and `test -x' returns true when checking for executables. Therefore be more conservative with providing full backwards compability as well as new added support for absolute symlinks at the same time. Closes: #590744

update-initramfs: run_bootloader() invoke Initramfs hooks

2010-08-06T22:47:44+00:00

Conform to policy http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-update-hooks.html#s-initramfs-hooks We check that the dir exists to no longer invoke boot loader on our own for squeeze, but work on partial upgrades from lenny. The bootloader invocations can be removed postsqueeze. Signed-off-by: maximilian attems

initramfs-tools: only allow hook scripts to errexit on mkinitramfs

2010-08-06T22:03:32+00:00

version is "the" essential exported variable by mkinitramfs. Use it's string length to determine that we are on mkinitramfs stage and not trying to boot a not precached initramfs image. hook scripts on boot can exit due to random failures and shouldn't interrupt boot there.
