Package: grub2-common
Version: 2.12-1~bpo12+1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
I've notice that using $variable expansion on kernel command line works
only when using the main menu but not on submenus.
For exemple, in my current grub.cfg (provided in full bellow by
reportbug):
set tuned_params="skew_tick=1 isolcpus=managed_irq,domain,
intel_pstate=disable nosoftlockup tsc=reliable"
...
menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu
--class os $menuentry_id_option
'gnulinux-simple-67104532-64c9-4656-9ccd-23cf07fbe9b2' {
linux /vmlinuz-6.1.0-30-amd64 root=/dev/mapper/debian--vm--vg-root ro
quiet $tuned_params
...
submenu 'Advanced options for Debian GNU/Linux' $menuentry_id_option
'gnulinux-advanced-67104532-64c9-4656-9ccd-23cf07fbe9b2' {
menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 6.1.0-30-amd64' --class debian
--class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option
'gnulinux-6.1.0-30-amd64-advanced-67104532-64c9-4656-9ccd-23cf07fbe9b2' {
linux /vmlinuz-6.1.0-30-amd64
root=/dev/mapper/debian--vm--vg-root ro quiet $tuned_params
...
Notice how $tuned_params is present in both menuentry.
When booting the firt entry, I got the tuned parameters in my kernel cmdline.
But, when I boot the second option, in the submenu (which should be the same
behavior), I don't have the tuned parameters in my kernel cmdline:
/proc/cmdline:"BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-6.1.0-30-amd64
root=/dev/mapper/debian--vm--vg-root ro quiet"
Note: I do not have variables defined in my grubenv.
I have tested this with stable and backports

You are right (just tried it), so this is a bug in tuned which does not
export its variable.
Thanks!
