The GRUB configuration is switched to BLS using the grub2-switch-to-blscfg
script, which is installed by the grub2-tools package. Among other things,
the script copies the blscfg module from the /usr/lib/grub/$arch directory
to /boot/grub2/$arch.
This is done because for non-UEFI installs (i386-pc and powerpc-ieee1275)
the GRUB core and modules aren't updated on package upgrade, so the blscfg
module won't be the latest that contains the current BLS support.
But the grub2-switch-to-blscfg script is currently executed in grub2-tools
%post scritplet, which means that if the grub2-tools package is installed
before the grub2-pc-modules package (that installs the blscfg module), the
grub2-switch-to-blscfg script won't copy the latest version of the module.
This will make systems to fail to populate the GRUB menu, since its config
will already be migrated to BLS but the blscfg module won't be the latest.
So to make sure that the latest blscfg module is copied regardless of the
grub2-tools and grub2-pc-modules packages install order, run the switch
script in a grub2-tools %posttrans so it's executed at the end of the RPM
transaction once all the packages have been installed.

The generated menu entries have a --users $grub_users option but this will
fail on old versions of GRUB, since it expects the --users option argument
to either be a constant or a variable that has been set.
The latest GRUB version fix this but the GRUB core isn't updated on a GRUB
package update, so this will cause the entries to not be shown in the menu
after a system upgrade.
Since can cause issues and because the entries that weren't generated from
the BLS snippets didn't have the --users option either, just don't add it.

There was an error in the logic that stored the parsed BLS snippets in the

Also add a fix found by coverity scan about a possible undefined behaviour

Commit bfc756f8d86 ("Set blsdir if the BLS directory path isn't one of the
looked up by default") attempted to set blsdir if /boot/loader/entries was
not the real path of the directory containing the BLS snippets. Which may
be the case if for example /boot/loader/entries is in a btrfs subvolume.
But in the case of ostree, /boot/loader is a symlink to the directory with
the entries for the current deployment. So with ostree the blsdir will be
wrongly set, since GRUB is able to follow the symlinks just fine. In fact,
it has to follow the symlink since otherwise GRUB will always use the BLS
files for the deployment that the symlink pointed out when blsdir was set.
So only set blsdir if /boot/loader/entries is in a btrfs or zfs partition.

The switch to a BLS configuration was made before in the grubby package
%post scriptlet, but this is wrong since it means that a not up-do-date
grub2-switch-to-blscfg script could be used to do the switch.

The grub2-efi package create a /boot/grub2/grubenv symlink that points to
/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grubenv that's where the real grubenv file is looked
up by GRUB on an EFI installation.
But currently if the grub2-efi is installed on a legacy BIOS install, it
will overwrite an existing /boot/grub2/grubenv file with a broken symlink.
So mark it as %config(noreplace) to avoid loosing an existing grubenv.

The grubenv file is updated when grub-mkconfig is executed but on ppc64le

In rhbz#1638405, we worked around the issue of an existing initramfs
being in the way by removing it if it's older than the kernel we're in
the process of installing.
But it was buggy and only worked with some filesystem layouts and paths, and
also possibly had some issues with file creation times causing the shell -ot
comparison to fail in some cases.
This patch changes it to remove the existing kernel (as well as other
related files) in the case that it's going to do the copy, and also fixes the
path issues.

the other way around: try the low addresses first and *then* the high one if
the allocation fails. This way we'll get low regions by default, and if
kernel/initramfs don't fit anywhere, it'll try the higher addresses.
