ARM toolchains will sometimes optimize otherwise floating-point-free
code with floating point and SIMD instructions. This was happening with
systemd-bootarm.efi and it was causing U-Boot to crash and reset the
CPU. U-Boot does not support the ARM VFP floating point coprocessor,
which is an optional piece of hardware anyway [1].
Ensure the compiler does not generate FP/SIMD instructions by supplying
the `-mgeneral-regs-only` option when building for ARM [2].
The other option you often see to solve these problems is
`-msoft-float`, but that changes the ABI and prevents linking with
libgnuefi.

I assume it’s supposed to be “see Home Directories for details” and not
“… and embeds these JSON records directly in the home directory images …
for details”, but the previous text suggested the latter reading to me.
Widely accepted certificates for IP addresses are expensive and only
affordable for larger organizations. Therefore if the user provides
the hostname in the DNS= option, we should use it instead of the IP
address.
When using the cgroups IO controller, the device that is controlled
should always be the toplevel block device. This did not get resolved
correctly for an LVM volume inside a LUKS device, because the code would
only resolve one level of indirection.
Fix this by recursively looking up the originating block device for DM
devices.
Resolves: #15008
Possible alternative to #14819.
For me, setting RemainAfterExit=yes would be OK, but if people think that it
might cause issues, then this could be a reasonable alternative that still
let's us skip the invocation of the separate binary.
