OSTree /boot dir: Remove unused artifacts
OSTree handles the contents of /boot separately from the rest of the
filesystem, see [1].
By default, upstream yocto rootfs generation stores the following
artifacts in /boot:
- kernel-image (bzImage) as /boot/bzImage-...;
- multiple packages that deploy grub.cfg, grubenv and EFI binaries:
* dpkg -S /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT
shim, seloader, ovmf-pkcs7-efi, grub-efi, grub-bootconf, efitools
However, none of these are ever used in Enea Edge, due to the way our
initial installation and subsequent upgrade work:
* live image building copies the kernel image from yocto deploy dir,
EFI binaries from rootfs /boot (this patch changes this to also
copy from the yocto deploy dir "bootloader" dir for uniformity) to
the root of the hddimg image;
* Enea Edge Installer (via utils.sh) creates the ESP partition
and copies all artifacts from hddimg to ESP under /EFI/BOOT [2];
* (currently) subsequent upgrades do _not_ update the contents of the
ESP /EFI/BOOT directory after initial installation;
* subsequent upgrades copy the kernel and ostree-initramfs from OSTree
rootfs (from /usr/lib/modules where ostree-kernel package resides)
to the ESP for SELoader validation;
This flow leaves unused (duplicate) artifacts in the following path:
/ostree/boot.x/poky/<poky hash>/0/boot/
While the kernel-image package can be omitted from installation, since
ostree-kernel package already installs the same binaries in
/usr/lib/modules (where OSTree will look for it), the rest of the
packages (shim, seloader etc.) also install other files to the rootfs
(e.g. CLI tools) and/or are used by the live image (hddimg) build
process as sources when copying said artifacts to the hddimg image; so
we can't simply skip installing them inside the rootfs.
Also, we want non-SOTA artifacts (e.g. rootfs.ext4) to still contain
these artifacts.
So the only sensible solution to avoiding confusion and removing
unused artifacts from OSTree images is to remove them right before
creating the OSTree image.
While at it, add some ENEA-specific comment markers to our prepend/
append fragments to make them stand out.
