refind: account for btrfs setups when generating manual stanzas
<!-- Uncomment relevant sections and delete options which are not applicable -->
#### Testing the changes

#### My setup
/etc/default/refind-kernel-hook.conf
```
#!/bin/sh
# Change this line to 1 to update refind conf whenever new kernel is installed
UPDATE_REFIND_CONF=1
# refind.conf location
# It usually stays in
#
# /boot/EFI/refind/refind.conf
# if you use all default configuration and EFI partition mounted to /boot
# /boot/efi/EFI/refind/refind.conf
# if using default configuration and EFI partition mounted to /boot/efi
# /boot/EFI/BOOT/refind.conf
# if you run refind-install --usedefault and EFI partition mounted to /boot
# /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/refind.conf
# likewise, EFI mounted to /boot/efi
# /efi/EFI/refind/refind.conf

use_nvram false
scanfor internal,optical,manual

dont_scan_volumes FIRE1TB-EFI,FIRE1TB-tank,KC1TB-EFI,KC2TB-EFI,KC2TB-tank,WD1TB-EFI,WD1TB-tank
resolution 1920 1080
```
scanfor internal works as it takes also_scan_dirs as a prefix to where to find vmlinux and initramfs files.
However, manual stanzas generated by /etc/kernel.d/post-install/50-refind hook get me nowhere near bootable entries.
The patch that I came up with may not be perfect but it works on my installation.
Further testing is needed, especially for people with EFI mounted at /boot and using filesystems other than btrfs.
To test the changes one needs to run xbps-reconfigure -f linux6.6 or whichever kernel one's running.

Comment:
@sgn @ahesford May I ask you to please take a look at this commit. I already set my git commit email to a non-no-reply one. I would probably have to git-rebase or something.
As for the errors in compiling for aarch64, I have no idea why this package didn't compile successfully this time around as I had made no changes to the compilation phase but only to the post-install kernel hook.
Thank you in advance :)

These changes should be dropped. The line continuations are a bit easier to read and honor the preferred 80-column text limit.

Comment:
I like the REFIND_MENU_LABEL and REFIND_BOOT_PREFIX idea in /etc/default/refind-kernel-hook.conf. It kind of adheres to the KISS rule.
What we would need besides setting these two variables that would default to `Void Linux` and `""` respectively would be some kind of a snippet that would, for instance, find the available and explicitly installed versions of linux in REFIND_BOOT_PREFIX and add these entries to the refind.conf file and preferably remove them also when they are uninstalled (so far it has been the job of the hooks). From what I understand, we still need some kind of a trigger. If I've misinterpreted your idea, please correct me.
Left-over kernels (the ones that vkpurge can deal with) can still be detected through the internal mode in refind.conf and the setting also_scan_dirs:
```
scanfor internal,manual
also_scan_dirs boot,void/ROOT/boot
```
this internal mode works in combination with /boot/refind_linux.conf which is independent of refind.conf:
```
"Boot with standard options" "root=UUID=a9ee6e45-d348-4214-9560-0d0c73ab8077 ro rootflags=subvol=void/ROOT mem_sleep_default=deep i915.modeset=1 video=1920x1080 loglevel=4"
"Boot to single-user mode" "root=UUID=a9ee6e45-d348-4214-9560-0d0c73ab8077 ro rootflags=subvol=void/ROOT mem_sleep_default=deep i915.modeset=1 video=1920x1080 loglevel=4 single"
"Boot with minimal options" "root=UUID=a9ee6e45-d348-4214-9560-0d0c73ab8077 ro rootflags=subvol=void/ROOT"
```
Such "subentries" populate only one "slot" when rEFInd is launched and can be accessed after pressing TAB whereas manual stanzas (the ones in refind.conf) are separate entities in the rEFInd menu. I realize manual vs internal may sound confusing but that's the way I've seen things work in rEFInd.

refind: account for btrfs setups when generating manual stanzas
<!-- Uncomment relevant sections and delete options which are not applicable -->
#### Testing the changes
- I tested the changes in this PR: **briefly**
#### Local build testing
I built this PR locally for my native architecture, x86_64-glibc
#### My setup
/etc/default/refind-kernel-hook.conf
```
#!/bin/sh
# Change this line to 1 to update refind conf whenever new kernel is installed
UPDATE_REFIND_CONF=1
# refind.conf location
# It usually stays in
#
# /boot/EFI/refind/refind.conf

# /boot/EFI/BOOT/refind.conf

# /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/refind.conf
# likewise, EFI mounted to /boot/efi

```
/boot/efi/EFI/refind/refind.conf
```

use_nvram false
scanfor internal,optical,manual
also_scan_dirs void/ROOT/boot
dont_scan_volumes FIRE1TB-EFI,FIRE1TB-tank,KC1TB-EFI,KC2TB-EFI,KC2TB-tank,WD1TB-EFI,WD1TB-tank
resolution 1920 1080
```
_scanfor internal_ works as it takes _also_scan_dirs_ as a prefix to where to find _vmlinuz_ and _initramfs_ files.
However, manual stanzas generated by _/etc/kernel.d/post-install/50-refind_ hook get me nowhere near bootable entries.
The patch that I came up with may not be perfect but it works on my installation.
Further testing is needed, especially for people with EFI mounted at /boot and using filesystems other than btrfs.
To test the changes one needs to run xbps-reconfigure -f linux6.6 or whichever kernel one's running (also make sure to adjust the settings in _/etc/default/refind-kernel-hook.conf_)

Comment:
@sgn maintainer ping
Although initially my PR focused on btrfs setups, the simple changes proposed by @ahesford in both _/etc/default/refind-kernel-hook.conf_ and _/etc/kernel.d/post-install/50-refind_ are more universal as they can save a lot of trouble when installing Void manually (either through chroot from a different distribution or xchroot from Void). My argument is that these ways of installation are officially documented in Void Linux Docs (so refind could include the appropriate changes). On top of that, the part where `mkfs.ext4` is listed (see https://docs.voidlinux.org/installation/guides/chroot.html#prepare-filesystems) doesn't mention the necessity to use `-L "Void Linux"` for painless installation of refind. Even if it did mention this detail, I believe REFIND_CONF, REFIND_LABEL and REFIND_BOOT_PREFIX would have to be tweaked if we were to retain the partition-and-filesystem setup proposed in Docs (see https://docs.voidlinux.org/installation/guides/chroot.html#configure-fstab).
P.S. the first workflow run failed for aarch64 (both glibc and musl) but I ran a cross-compilation of aarch64-glibc on the upstream tree yesterday and it succeeded this time so the compilation errors must've had to do with some dependency incompatibilities at the time or something. That's my guess.
What do y'all think?

Comment:
I like the REFIND_MENU_LABEL and REFIND_BOOT_PREFIX idea in /etc/default/refind-kernel-hook.conf. It kind of adheres to the KISS rule.
What we would need besides setting these two variables that would default to `Void Linux` and `""` respectively would be some kind of a snippet that would, for instance, find the available and explicitly installed versions of linux in REFIND_BOOT_PREFIX and add these entries to the refind.conf file and preferably remove them also when they are uninstalled or vmkpurge-d (so far it has been the job of the hooks). From what I understand, we still need some kind of a trigger. If I've misinterpreted your idea, please correct me.
Both installed kernels and left-over ones can still be detected through the internal mode in refind.conf and the setting also_scan_dirs:
```
scanfor internal,manual
also_scan_dirs boot,void/ROOT/boot
```
this internal mode works in combination with /boot/refind_linux.conf which is independent of refind.conf:
```
"Boot with standard options" "root=UUID=a9ee6e45-d348-4214-9560-0d0c73ab8077 ro rootflags=subvol=void/ROOT mem_sleep_default=deep i915.modeset=1 video=1920x1080 loglevel=4"
"Boot to single-user mode" "root=UUID=a9ee6e45-d348-4214-9560-0d0c73ab8077 ro rootflags=subvol=void/ROOT mem_sleep_default=deep i915.modeset=1 video=1920x1080 loglevel=4 single"
"Boot with minimal options" "root=UUID=a9ee6e45-d348-4214-9560-0d0c73ab8077 ro rootflags=subvol=void/ROOT"
```
Such "subentries" populate only one "slot" when rEFInd is launched and can be accessed after pressing TAB whereas manual stanzas (the ones in refind.conf) are separate entities in the rEFInd menu. I realize manual vs internal may sound confusing but that's the way I've seen things work in rEFInd.

I built this PR locally for my native architecture, x86_64-glibc as well as for aarch64-glibc [EDIT: Feb 26 09:34:52 PM CET 2024].
#### My setup
/etc/default/refind-kernel-hook.conf
```
#!/bin/sh
# Change this line to 1 to update refind conf whenever new kernel is installed
UPDATE_REFIND_CONF=1
# refind.conf location

resolution 1920 1080
```
_scanfor internal_ works as it takes _also_scan_dirs_ as a prefix to where to find _vmlinuz_ and _initramfs_ files.
However, manual stanzas generated by _/etc/kernel.d/post-install/50-refind_ hook get me nowhere near bootable entries.
The patch that I came up with may not be perfect but it works on my installation.
Further testing is needed, especially for people with EFI mounted at /boot and using filesystems other than btrfs.
To test the changes one needs to run xbps-reconfigure -f linux6.6 or whichever kernel one's running (also make sure to adjust the settings in _/etc/default/refind-kernel-hook.conf_)

_scanfor internal_ works as it takes _also_scan_dirs_ as a prefix to where to find _vmlinuz_ and _initramfs_ files.
However, manual stanzas generated by _/etc/kernel.d/post-install/50-refind_ hook get me nowhere near bootable entries.
The patch that I came up with may not be perfect but it works on my installation.
Further testing is needed, especially for people with EFI mounted at /boot and using filesystems other than btrfs.
To test the changes one needs to run xbps-reconfigure -f linux6.6 or whichever kernel one's running (also make sure to adjust the settings in _/etc/default/refind-kernel-hook.conf_)

I combined [add-cross-compile-support.patch](https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/48906/commits/8f60d7410c76cd192636349b19231eb07a082e4c#diff-332203e155a15c1ddecac26ff4800e45423c1d6c701dc0cd51b672292419710f) with your patch to fix aarch64 build. I thought that was the right way to do it since both patches make changes in Make.common
If that's not the right way, please let me know.

Comment:
@sgn When you take a look at the entire thing - https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/48906/files, you'll see that the patch is not removed but it comes with your new patch. Also the name is changed from _add-cross-compile-support.patch_ to _add-cross-compile-support-and-fix-binutils-aarch64.patch_ to reflect the added changes. If you want me to squash any of the three commits, please let me know.

Comment:
@ahesford @sgn is this PR mergable?
If I were to argue for the merge, I'd say that not only does it introduce sgn's patch that fixes aarch64 build, but it also makes necessary changes in the post-install kernel hook. So far, the hook has only been able to generate entries that work with EFI mounted in /boot. I'm really surprised no one ever raised this issue before.
Source: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/REFInd#For_manual_boot_stanzas
Given what I said before, I would even argue that the defaults could be `REFIND_CONF=/boot/efi/EFI/refind/refind.conf` and `REFIND_BOOT_PREFIX=/boot` since this is the standard approach of keeping kernels as part of the ROOTFS filesystem. Mounting the EFI part in /boot/efi (as opposed to /boot) is also recommended in the official Void docs. Although some people do store kernels on the EFI partition, I doubt whether this is a standard approach.
Looking forward to hearing from you guys :)

This should probably be quoted. `$REFIND_BOOT_PREFIX` is unsanitized and might contain spaces that may produce unexpected side effects.

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/48906
refind: account for btrfs setups when generating manual stanzas
<!-- Uncomment relevant sections and delete options which are not applicable -->
#### Testing the changes
- I tested the changes in this PR: **yes** (I've been running it on x64-glibc for the past two weeks)
#### Local build testing
I built this PR locally for my native architecture, x86_64-glibc as well as for aarch64-glibc [EDIT: Feb 26 09:34:52 PM CET 2024].
#### My setup
/etc/default/refind-kernel-hook.conf
```
#!/bin/sh
# Change this line to 1 to update refind conf whenever new kernel is installed
UPDATE_REFIND_CONF=1
# refind.conf location

```
_scanfor internal_ works as it takes _also_scan_dirs_ as a prefix to where to find _vmlinuz_ and _initramfs_ files.
However, manual stanzas generated by _/etc/kernel.d/post-install/50-refind_ hook get me nowhere near bootable entries.
The patch that I came up with may not be perfect but it works on my installation.
Further testing is needed, especially for people with EFI mounted at /boot and using filesystems other than btrfs.
To test the changes one needs to run xbps-reconfigure -f linux6.6 or whichever kernel one's running (also make sure to adjust the settings in _/etc/default/refind-kernel-hook.conf_)

There is an updated pull request by slymattz against master on the void-packages repository
https://github.com/slymattz/void-packages refind
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/48906
refind: account for btrfs setups when generating manual stanzas
<!-- Uncomment relevant sections and delete options which are not applicable -->
#### Testing the changes
- I tested the changes in this PR: **yes** (I've been running it on x64-glibc for the past two weeks)
#### Local build testing
I built this PR locally for my native architecture, x86_64-glibc as well as for aarch64-glibc [EDIT: Feb 26 09:34:52 PM CET 2024].
#### My setup
/etc/default/refind-kernel-hook.conf
```
#!/bin/sh
# Change this line to 1 to update refind conf whenever new kernel is installed
UPDATE_REFIND_CONF=1
# refind.conf location
# It usually stays in

# /boot/efi/EFI/refind/refind.conf
# if using default configuration and EFI partition mounted to /boot/efi
# /boot/EFI/BOOT/refind.conf
# if you run refind-install --usedefault and EFI partition mounted to /boot
# /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/refind.conf
# likewise, EFI mounted to /boot/efi

```

use_nvram false
scanfor internal,optical,manual

resolution 1920 1080
```
_scanfor internal_ works as it takes _also_scan_dirs_ as a prefix to where to find _vmlinuz_ and _initramfs_ files.
However, manual stanzas generated by _/etc/kernel.d/post-install/50-refind_ hook get me nowhere near bootable entries.
The patch that I came up with may not be perfect but it works on my installation.
Further testing is needed, especially for people with EFI mounted at /boot and using filesystems other than btrfs.
To test the changes one needs to run xbps-reconfigure -f linux6.6 or whichever kernel one's running (also make sure to adjust the settings in _/etc/default/refind-kernel-hook.conf_)
A patch file from https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/48906.patch is attached

Comment:
I don't think you should rename the patch; its original name is sufficiently descriptive, and changing the name makes tracking changes a little more confusing.

There is an updated pull request by slymattz against master on the void-packages repository
https://github.com/slymattz/void-packages refind
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/48906
refind: account for btrfs setups when generating manual stanzas
<!-- Uncomment relevant sections and delete options which are not applicable -->
#### Testing the changes
- I tested the changes in this PR: **yes** (I've been running it on x64-glibc for the past two weeks)
#### Local build testing
I built this PR locally for my native architecture, x86_64-glibc as well as for aarch64-glibc [EDIT: Feb 26 09:34:52 PM CET 2024].
#### My setup
/etc/default/refind-kernel-hook.conf
```
#!/bin/sh
# Change this line to 1 to update refind conf whenever new kernel is installed
UPDATE_REFIND_CONF=1
# refind.conf location
# It usually stays in
#
# /boot/EFI/refind/refind.conf
# if you use all default configuration and EFI partition mounted to /boot
# /boot/efi/EFI/refind/refind.conf
# if using default configuration and EFI partition mounted to /boot/efi
# /boot/EFI/BOOT/refind.conf
# if you run refind-install --usedefault and EFI partition mounted to /boot
# /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/refind.conf
# likewise, EFI mounted to /boot/efi
# /efi/EFI/refind/refind.conf

```
/boot/efi/EFI/refind/refind.conf
```

scanfor internal,optical,manual

resolution 1920 1080
```
_scanfor internal_ works as it takes _also_scan_dirs_ as a prefix to where to find _vmlinuz_ and _initramfs_ files.
However, manual stanzas generated by _/etc/kernel.d/post-install/50-refind_ hook get me nowhere near bootable entries.
The patch that I came up with may not be perfect but it works on my installation.
Further testing is needed, especially for people with EFI mounted at /boot and using filesystems other than btrfs.
To test the changes one needs to run xbps-reconfigure -f linux6.6 or whichever kernel one's running (also make sure to adjust the settings in _/etc/default/refind-kernel-hook.conf_)
A patch file from https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/48906.patch is attached

OK, done. Is it OK now? :)

Got a lint error saying the second line should be empty. So I amended the description of the last commit and now it should be fine.

refind: account for btrfs setups when generating manual stanzas
<!-- Uncomment relevant sections and delete options which are not applicable -->
#### Testing the changes
- I tested the changes in this PR: **yes** (I've been running it on x64-glibc for the past two weeks)
#### Local build testing
I built this PR locally for my native architecture, x86_64-glibc as well as for aarch64-glibc [EDIT: Feb 26 09:34:52 PM CET 2024].
#### My setup
/etc/default/refind-kernel-hook.conf
```
#!/bin/sh
# Change this line to 1 to update refind conf whenever new kernel is installed
UPDATE_REFIND_CONF=1
# refind.conf location
# It usually stays in
#
# /boot/EFI/refind/refind.conf
# if you use all default configuration and EFI partition mounted to /boot
# /boot/efi/EFI/refind/refind.conf
# if using default configuration and EFI partition mounted to /boot/efi
# /boot/EFI/BOOT/refind.conf
# if you run refind-install --usedefault and EFI partition mounted to /boot
# /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/refind.conf
# likewise, EFI mounted to /boot/efi
# /efi/EFI/refind/refind.conf
# /efi/EFI/BOOT/refind.conf
REFIND_CONF=/boot/efi/EFI/refind/refind.conf
# addition kernel cmdline

```
/boot/efi/EFI/refind/refind.conf
```
timeout 5
use_nvram false
scanfor internal,optical,manual
also_scan_dirs void/ROOT/boot
dont_scan_volumes FIRE1TB-EFI,FIRE1TB-tank,KC1TB-EFI,KC2TB-EFI,KC2TB-tank,WD1TB-EFI,WD1TB-tank
resolution 1920 1080
```
_scanfor internal_ works as it takes _also_scan_dirs_ as a prefix to where to find _vmlinuz_ and _initramfs_ files.
However, manual stanzas generated by _/etc/kernel.d/post-install/50-refind_ hook get me nowhere near bootable entries.
The patch that I came up with may not be perfect but it works on my installation.
Further testing is needed, especially for people with EFI mounted at /boot and using filesystems other than btrfs.
To test the changes one needs to run xbps-reconfigure -f linux6.6 or whichever kernel one's running (also make sure to adjust the settings in _/etc/default/refind-kernel-hook.conf_)
A patch file from https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/48906.patch is attached

Subject: [PATCH] refind: add LABEL and BOOT_PREFIX for misc setups
While REFIND_LABEL identifies the volume on which vmlinuz and initramfs files reside REFIND_BOOT_PREFIX prepends a path that is relative to this volume.
This commit also fixes aarch64 build problems related to binutils 2.38+

Further testing is needed, especially for people with EFI mounted at /boot and using filesystems other than btrfs.
To test the changes one needs to run xbps-reconfigure -f linux6.6 or whichever kernel one's running (also make sure to adjust the settings in _/etc/default/refind-kernel-hook.conf_)
