Daan De Meyer a1d46e3078 tree-wide: Introduce --certificate-source= option 
This allows loading the X.509 certificate from an OpenSSL provider
instead of a file system path. This allows loading certficates directly
from hardware tokens instead of having to export them to a file on
disk first.

<listitem><para>Sets the default boot loader entry. Takes a single boot loader entry ID string or a glob

<para><command>bootctl list</command> can be used to list available boot loader entries and their

<para>In addition, the boot loader entry ID may be specified as one of: <option>@default</option>,

see <ulink url="https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/boot_loader_specification">Boot Loader Specification</ulink> for details.
These special IDs are primarily useful as a quick way to persistently make the currently booted boot loader
entry the default choice, or to upgrade the default boot loader entry for the next boot to the default boot
loader entry for all future boots, but may be used for other operations too.</para>

one has not been set before. If the boot loader finds the random seed in the ESP and the system token
in the EFI variable it will derive a random seed to pass to the OS and a new seed to store in the ESP
from the combination of both. The random seed passed to the OS is credited to the kernel's entropy
pool by the system manager during early boot, and permits userspace to boot up with an entropy pool
fully initialized very early on. Also see

<para>Unless set to <literal>machine-id</literal>, or when

in order to identify under which name to generate boot loader entries for newly installed kernels, or
to determine the entry names for removing old ones.</para>
<para>Using the machine ID for naming the entries is generally preferable, however there are cases
where using the other identifiers is a good option. Specifically: if the identification data that the
machine ID entails shall not be stored on the (unencrypted) <varname>$BOOT</varname> partition, or if
the ID shall be generated on first boot and is not known when the entries are prepared. Note that
using the machine ID has the benefit that multiple parallel installations of the same OS can coexist
on the same medium, and they can update their boot loader entries independently. When using another
identifier (such as the OS ID or the OS image ID), parallel installations of the same OS would try to
use the same entry name. To support parallel installations, the installer must use a different entry
token when adding a second installation.</para>

<title>Signed .efi files</title>
<para><command>bootctl</command> <option>install</option> and <option>update</option> will look for a
<command>systemd-boot</command> file ending with the <literal>.efi.signed</literal> suffix first, and copy
that instead of the normal <literal>.efi</literal> file. This allows distributions or end-users to provide
signed images for UEFI SecureBoot.</para>

<title>Exit status</title>
<para>On success, 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise. <command>bootctl
--print-root-device</command> returns exit status 80 in case the root file system is not backed by single
block device, and other non-zero exit statuses on other errors.</para>

<title>Environment</title>
<para>If <varname>$SYSTEMD_RELAX_ESP_CHECKS=1</varname> is set the validation checks for the ESP are
relaxed, and the path specified with <option>--esp-path=</option> may refer to any kind of file system on
any kind of partition.</para>
<para>Similarly, <varname>$SYSTEMD_RELAX_XBOOTLDR_CHECKS=1</varname> turns off some validation checks for
the Extended Boot Loader partition.</para>
