If the options field in a BLS file has the same value than the kernelopts
variable in grubenv, the options is replaced with the kernelopts variable.
This was done to keep the options in the BLS files in sync when possible,
but having the kernel cmdline as a variable in the grubenv file was proven
to be fragile. Instead, the kernel cmdline will be stored in the BLS files
to make the configuration more robust. This will work even if the grubenv
gets corrupted or is deleted.
Since we want to get rid of the kernelopts variable, don't attempt to use
that in the BLS snippets anymore.

The forward slash character is used as the delimiter for sed substitutions
so this is escaped before calling sed.
But this was only done before removing parameters from the kernel command
and not when adding it. Use it for all the cases when the parameters are

The man page of the old grubby tool is still shipped in the grubby package
but instead there should be a man page that only documents the options for
the wrapper grubby script that is used to manage the BLS config snippets.
Current man page is confusing for users so let's add one that contains the
options that are supported by the wrapper script but no unsupported ones.

If a kernel command line parameter has a '=' character, grubby fails
to update the options field in the BLS snippet, for example:

The grubby --update-kernel=ALL option is used to update the kernel command
line parameters for all the boot entries. But the updated cmdline is lost
if the grub2-mkconfig command is executed, since in that case the cmdline
is changed with the value set by GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub.
To prevent the cmdline set by users to be overridden by mistake, keep the
value of GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in sync with the current cmdline.

Since PowerNV machines can have a Petitboot versions that still don't have
BLS support, grubby re-generates the grub.cfg file on all ppc64le machines.
But this has the side effect that the grubenv file is updated, which will
overwrite any value that was set by grubby itself. To prevent that run the
grub2-mkconfig with the --no-grubenv-update option.

If the /boot directory is a mount point, then the paths of the kernel and
initramfs images paths in the BLS snippet have to be relative to the root
of the boot partition. So the /boot prefix has to be stripped from paths
in this case.
But the function was wrongly stripping the entire path instead of only the
/boot prefix, which prevented having kernels and initrds in subdirectories.

that executes the hooks since packages like dkms and akmod make use of it.

Currently there's no way to update the kernelopts variable defined in the
grubenv by using the grubby wrapper. Updating it with grub2-editenv - set
is tedious and error prone so let's use --update-kernel=ALL option for it.
This command currently iterates over all the BLS entries and update them
individually, but makes more sense to update the kernelopts grubenv var
and only update the BLS entries that don't have the $kernelopts var in
their options field.
If after an update one of these BLS entries have exactly the same params
in their options field than the ones set in $kernelopts, set the options
field to $kernelopts again since the parameters have converged again.
That way the modified BLS entries will only have a custom options field
while its value diverged from the $kernelopts defined in grubenv.

If the default entry is removed, this can't be set as the default anymore
for zipl. Otherwise the zipl tool will fail since it won't exist an IPL

For grub2, if the saved_entry doesn't exist it will fallback to the first
entry. But still the correct thing to do is to unset the default there.

a BLS file is generated at build time and stored in /lib/modules/$kernel
but this default BLS file assumes that /boot is a mount point and so the
kernel and initrd paths are relative to the root of this boot partition.
This is not the case if /boot is not a mount point or if the bootloader
is zipl, since zipl expects the absolute path to be in the BLS snippet.
The kernel-install scripts takes care of this and modifies the BLS file
if needed, but grubby doesn't do that. So instead just generate the BLS
always even if there is one for the kernel version of the added entry.

The BLS file "linux" and "initrd" fields expect a relative paths from the
root of the partition that contains the kernel and initramfs. The grubby
tool was printing the value of thse fields and not their full path.
So if there is a partition and /boot is a mount point, he BLS would have:
linux /vmlinuz-4.18.0-38.el8.x86_64
initrd /initramfs-4.18.0-38.el8.x86_64.img
And grubby would print:
kernel="/vmlinuz-4.18.0-38.el8.x86_64"
initrd="/initramfs-4.18.0-38.el8.x86_64.img"
But the old tool used to print the full paths of the images, so should be:
kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-4.18.0-38.el8.x86_64"
initrd="/boot/initramfs-4.18.0-38.el8.x86_64.img"

Most bootloaders use the BootLoaderSpec "title" field to name the entries
in their boot menu. The zipl bootloader used the "version" field instead,
since it was wrongly assumed that the zipl boot menu didn't support names
that contained spaces, which are usually present in a BLS "title" field.
But this is not the case, names with space characters are supported by the
IPL and is just a constraint of the section heading in the zipl.conf file.
To be consistent with all the other bootloaders, zipl now uses the "title"
field to populate the boot menu entries from BLS files. So change grubby
to use the "title" field to set the default entry of the "version" field.
