| Summary | 0001012: initramfs is not regenerated for kernel-ml or kernel-lt upon microcode updates | ||||
| Description | When the microcode_ctl package is installed/updated, the initramfs file is supposed to be regenerated. This does not happen with kernel-ml or kernel-lt. The explanation is in the posttrans scriptlet of microcode_ctl. rpm -q --scripts microcode_ctl [quote] ... # For RPM selection, kernel flavours (like "debug" or "kdump" or "zfcp", # with only the former being relevant to x86 architecture) are a part or RPM # name; it's also a part of uname, with different separator used in RHEL 6/7 # and RHEL 8. RT kernel, however, is special, as "rt" is another part # of RPM name and it has its own versioning scheme both in NVR and uname. # And there's the kernel package split in RHEL 8, so one should look for *-core # and not the main package. pkgs="kernel kernel-debug kernel-rt kernel-rt-debug" ...

Ack. The following scriptlet has been proposed for addition to the specification files -- %triggerin -- microcode_ctl for KVERSION in $(rpm -q --qf '%{v}-%{r}.%{arch}\n' %{name}); do %{_sbindir}/dracut -f --kver $KVERSION done |

The recently released kernel-lt-4.4.228-1.el7.elrepo package set [1] contains the above scriptlet. When convenient, please test and report back with your findings. [1] http://lists.elrepo.org/pipermail/elrepo/2020-June/005259.html |

Summary: Above I show kernel-lt being installed followed by reinstalling the microcode_ctl package. Reinstalling microcode_ctl clearly triggers the triggerin script and causes the currently running kernel and kernel-lt initramfs images to be updated (the former from microcode_ctl scripts, and the latter from kernel-lt %triggerin script) There are some errors printed to the console. I think we can ignore the nvidia errors as they are not relevant. I think we need to look at these errors below: Broadcast message from systemd-journald@quad.pendre.co.uk (Sun 2020-06-21 16:09:41 BST): dracut[24611]: /lib/modules/4.4.228-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64//modules.dep is missing. Did you run depmod? /lib/modules/4.4.228-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64//modules.dep is missing. Did you run depmod? warning: %triggerin(kernel-lt-4.4.228-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 Message from syslogd@quad at Jun 21 16:09:41 ... dracut:/lib/modules/4.4.228-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64//modules.dep is missing. Did you run depmod? Non-fatal <unknown> scriptlet failure in rpm package kernel-lt-4.4.228-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 The scripts in microcode_ctl package check for modules.dep before running dracut. Presumably the reason it's missing is a missing depmod call so I thin we need to call depmod somewhere.This error was triggered on the installation of kernel-lt package. If we look at the very beginning of the log we see: Jun 21 16:09:41 quad dracut: dracut-033-568.el7 Jun 21 16:09:41 quad dracut: Executing: /usr/sbin/dracut -f --kver 4.4.228-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 Jun 21 16:09:41 quad dracut: /lib/modules/4.4.228-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64//modules.dep is missing. Did you run depmod? Jun 21 16:09:41 quad yum[24506]: Installed: kernel-lt-4.4.228-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 Jun 21 16:09:42 quad dracut: dracut-033-568.el7 Jun 21 16:09:42 quad dracut: Executing: /sbin/dracut -f /boot/initramfs-4.4.228-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.img 4.4.228-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 So it looks like dracut is being run twice. The first instance looks like the call from out %triggerin script (I didn't realise this would run on installation of kernel-lt) and the second instance is kernel-lt creating it's own initramfs inamge (note the different format of the dracut call - the %triggerin script uses --ker). Presumably the second instance is run after a depmod call elsewhere, so I think we need to add depmod to the start of our %triggerin script: %triggerin -- microcode_ctl for KVERSION in $(rpm -q --qf '%{v}-%{r}.%{arch}\n' %{name}); do %{_sbindir}/depmod $KVERSION %{_sbindir}/dracut -f --kver $KVERSION done |

All changes have been reverted and a kernel-lt-4.4.228-2.el7.elrepo package set has been released. [2] [2] http://lists.elrepo.org/pipermail/elrepo/2020-June/005260.html |
|
|
A working triggerin script has now been formulated and verified as appropriate -- %triggerin -- microcode_ctl KVERSION=%{version}-%{release}.%{_target_cpu} if [ -e "/lib/modules/$KVERSION/modules.dep" ]; then %{_sbindir}/dracut -f --kver $KVERSION fi It will be added to the specification files for both kernel-lt and kernel-ml, ready for the next build of the respective package sets. |

|
With the recent releases of the kernel-lt-4.4.229-1.el7.elrepo [1] and kernel-ml-4.7.7-1.el7.elrepo [2] package sets this RFE has been fulfilled. Now closing as resolved/fixed.
