* gnu/system/images/novena.scm (novena-barebones-os)[kernel]: Use the
linux-libre-arm-generic kernel.
[initrd-modules]: Do not specify any modules as sdhci-esdhc-imx, ahci_imx and
i2c-dev are built-in in the arm-generic kernel.
This is to make it less surprising, given the common convention sets forth by
the kernel Linux command-line parameters.

These changes broke the creation of the 'linux-modules-database' for all kernel
series besides 5.15, 5.4, and 5.10, like this:
------
gnu/build/linux-modules.scm:257:5: kernel module not found "framebuffer_coreboot" "/gnu/store/yff45fr6q93mw44zdql9ffr95zcvwxcn-linux-libre-4.9.299/lib/modules"
------
We should support the coreboot framebuffer, but we need to test that change more
completely before deploying it.
This effectively reverts the following commits:
1dfe8c3721 "gnu: linux-libre: Build simplefb into all x86{,_64} kernels."
bc09e7ab56 "gnu: linux-libre: Support the Coreboot framebuffer."
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/52667> "System reconfiguration fails to build
linux-modules.drv".
This is a follow-up to 49599fab56.
Fixes: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/52908>.
* gnu/services/xorg.scm (set-xorg-configuration)[login-manager-service-type]:
When the current system or target system begins with the string "x86_64", use
gdm-service-type as before; otherwise, use sddm-service-type.
* gnu/system/examples/vm-image.tmpl (services): Add sddm-service-type to the
list of service types to remove.
* gnu/system/examples/desktop.tmpl: Only use gnome-desktop-service-type and
the default login manager in set-xorg-configuration when the target system is
x86_64.
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/52539>.
Reported by Jacob First <jacob.first@member.fsf.org>.
* gnu/build/accounts.scm (allocate-passwd): Add comment as to why
'real-name' is taken from PREVIOUS. Add (not system?) to the
condition.
* gnu/system.scm (operating-system-etc-service) <login.defs>: Add
"CHFN_RESTRICT".
* gnu/system.scm (%setuid-programs): Add "chfn".
* gnu/system/pam.scm (base-pam-services): Add "chfn".
* doc/guix.texi (User Accounts): Document it.
This attempts to mitigate <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/52667>.
It makes linux-libre@5.15 consistent with older versions which do not
support a modular simplefb, allowing a single %base-initrd-modules
simple list for all of them.
Unlike CONFIG_FB_SIMPLE=m, CONFIG_FB_SIMPLE=y conflicts with
CONFIG_DRM_SIMPLEDRM, so the latter is now disabled. Let us hope it is
not missed.
* gnu/packages/aux-files/linux-libre/5.15-i686.conf,
gnu/packages/aux-files/linux-libre/5.15-x86_64.conf:
Unset CONFIG_DRM_SIMPLEDRM to build in CONFIG_FB_SIMPLE=y.
* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (default-initrd-modules):
Remove "simplefb".
This code duplicates the (gnu system image) and (gnu build image) code. Using
VM for image generation is not needed, not portable and really slow. Remove
all the VM image generation code to make sure that only the image API is used.
* gnu/build/vm.scm: Remove it. Move the qemu-command procedure to ...
* gnu/build/marionette.scm: ... here.
* gnu/local.mk (GNU_SYSTEM_MODULES): Adapt it.
* tests/modules.scm: Ditto.
* gnu/tests/install.scm: Ditto.
* gnu/system/vm.scm: Adapt it and remove expression->derivation-in-linux-vm,
qemu-img, system-qemu-image/shared-store and system-docker-image procedures.
* doc/guix.texi (G-Expressions): Adapt it.
Also add a volatile? argument to the virtual-machine record. When volatile? is
true generate a QEMU script that mounts an overlay on top of a read only
storage. When volatile? is false, use a persistent, read-write storage.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (common-qemu-options): Add a rw-image? argument to use a
persistent storage.
(system-qemu-image/shared-store-script): Add a volatile? argument and honor
it. Use the image API to build the QEMU image.
(<virtual-machine>)[volatile?]: New field.
(virtual-machine-compiler): Pass the volatile? argument to the
system-qemu-image/shared-store-script procedure.
Without this, the kernel cannot write to the display until the
full-featured driver module (often i915) is loaded from the root file
system.
If the root file system is encrypted, the initrd's passphrase prompt
won't make it to the screen, and the fully responsive system will appear
frozen whilst waiting for user input.

Mark simple framebuffers as generic system ones and enable ‘Google’
firmware drivers to enable Coreboot table support and its dependent
framebuffer driver module.

Add the framebuffer_coreboot and simplefb modules on x86 systems.

* gnu/system/hurd.scm (%base-services/hurd): Likewise, and separate
'loopback' from 'networking'.
* gnu/build/hurd-boot.scm (set-hurd-device-translators): Remove
"servers/socket/2".
* gnu/tests/networking.scm (run-openvswitch-test)["networking has
started on ovs0"]: Check for 'networking instead of 'networking-ovs0,
which is no longer provided.
* doc/guix.texi (Networking Setup): Document the new interface. Remove
documentation of 'static-networking-service'.
(Virtualization Services): Change Ganeti example to use the new
interface.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (common-qemu-options): Remove the "-vga std" argument that
is the default since QEMU 2.2.
Suggested-by: Attila Lendvai <attila@lendvai.name>
It configures QEMU to use the tty it was started in for IO (as opposed to
opening a separate graphical window). This enables copy-pasting and
scrollback. Exit QEMU with C-a x.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (system-qemu-image/shared-store-script): Also add the
'-nographic' QEMU argument when called with #:graphic? #false.
* guix/scripts/system.scm (system-derivation-for-action): Propagate
the #:graphic? keyword arg.
(perform-action): Add and propagate the #:graphic? keyword arg.
(show-help): Add --no-graphic CLI arg.
(%options): Process the new --no-graphic CLI arg.
(process-action): Feed in the CLI arg through the #:graphic? keyword arg.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix system): Add example to combine guix system and
invoking the vm start script into one command. Split the description of the
various options into separate paragraphs. Add a paragraph to describe
--no-graphic.

(validate-file-system-flags): New macro.
(<file-system>)[flags]: Add 'sanitize' property.
Fixes regression introduced in d5073fd113,
whereby childhurd dependencies such as 'hurd' would erroneously be
attempted to build natively on x86_64-linux.
* gnu/system/images/hurd.scm (hurd-disk-image)[platform]: New field.
Let this be a warning against—even cautiously and deliberately—using
double negatives. You shall stare, but you shall not see.
* gnu/system/file-systems.scm (<file-system>): Fix the default
skip-check-if-clean? value to match the documentation and the intention.
It was never guaranteed to be run for non-root file systems. It was for
root file systems only due to a bug now fixed.
* gnu/build/file-systems.scm (check-btrfs-file-system): Don't invoke
‘btrfs device scan’ here.

* gnu/system/pam.scm (unix-pam-service): Add account and session PAM entries
for pam-gnupg. Don't pass "#f" to "allow-root?" argument, because "lambda*"
already does this by default.

Thanks to Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org> on the OFTC's #debian-dpkg
channel for helping with troubleshooting.
Letting GNU Tar recursively walk the complete files hierarchy side-steps the
risks associated with providing a list of file names:
1. Duplicated files in the archive (recorded as hard links by GNU Tar)
2. Missing parent directories.
The above would cause dpkg to malfunction, for example by aborting early and
skipping triggers when there were missing parent directories.
* guix/scripts/pack.scm (self-contained-tarball/builder): Do not call
POPULATE-SINGLE-PROFILE-DIRECTORY, which creates extraneous files such as
/root. Instead, call POPULATE-STORE and INSTALL-DATABASE-AND-GC-ROOTS
individually to more precisely generate the file system. Replace the list of
files by the current directory, "." and streamline the way options are passed.
* gnu/system/file-systems.scm (reduce-directories): Remove procedure.
* tests/file-systems.scm ("reduce-directories"): Remove test.
Tar translate duplicate files in the archive into hard links. These can cause
problems, as not every tool support them; for example dpkg doesn't.
* gnu/system/file-systems.scm (reduce-directories): New procedure.
(file-prefix?): Lift the restriction on file prefix. The procedure can be
useful for comparing relative file names. Adjust doc.
(file-name-depth): New procedure, extracted from ...
(btrfs-store-subvolume-file-name): ... here.
* guix/scripts/pack.scm (self-contained-tarball/builder): Use
reduce-directories.
* tests/file-systems.scm ("reduce-directories"): New test.
Inspired by

The price to pay is about 5% of a CPU core usage in the guest in the worst
scenario.
* gnu/system/examples/vm-image.tmpl
(auto-update-resolution-crutch): New mcron job.
[services]: Extend the mcron-service with it.
Having 2.29 is most likely no longer justified. Removing it reduces the
closure size returned by:
guix size $(guix system build gnu/system/install.scm)
from 1.6G to 1.5G.
* gnu/system/locale.scm (%default-locale-libcs): Remove GLIBC-2.29.

become hard errors.
* gnu/system/shadow.scm (assert-unique-account-names)

When the image type is "raw" or derived from it (such as "qcow2"), an ESP
partition and file system is already added by the image generator. If a
conflicting user-provided EFI file system is provided, it causes the boot to
