This commit adds support for GZIP compression for linux-libre kernel
modules. The initrd modules are kept uncompressed as the initrd is already
compressed as a whole.
The linux-libre kernel also supports XZ compression, but as Guix does not have
any available bindings for now, and the compression time is far more
significant, GZIP seems to be a better option.
* gnu/build/linux-modules.scm (modinfo-section-contents): Use
'call-with-gzip-input-port' to read from a module file using '.gz' extension,
(strip-extension): new procedure,
(dot-ko): adapt to support compression,
(ensure-dot-ko): ditto,
(file-name->module-name): ditto,
(find-module-file): ditto,
(load-linux-module*): ditto,
(module-name->file-name/guess): ditto,
(module-name-lookup): ditto,
(write-module-name-database): ditto,
(write-module-alias-database): ditto,
(write-module-device-database): ditto.
* gnu/installer.scm (installer-program): Add "guile-zlib" to the extensions.
* gnu/machine/ssh.scm (machine-check-initrd-modules): Ditto.
* gnu/services.scm (activation-script): Ditto.
* gnu/services/base.scm (default-serial-port): Ditto,
(agetty-shepherd-service): ditto,
(udev-service-type): ditto.
* gnu/system/image.scm (gcrypt-sqlite3&co): Ditto.
* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (flat-linux-module-directory): Add "guile-zlib"
to the extensions and make sure that the initrd only contains
uncompressed module files.
* gnu/system/shadow.scm (account-shepherd-service): Add "guile-zlib" to the
extensions.
* guix/profiles.scm (linux-module-database): Ditto.

* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (flat-linux-module-directory): Call
'write-module-name-database'.

Previously we'd get an unhelpful backtrace like this:
In gnu/build/linux-modules.scm:
184:47 4 (recursive-module-dependencies _ #:lookup-module _)
98:14 3 (module-dependencies _)
85:18 2 (modinfo-section-contents _)
In ice-9/ports.scm:
439:11 1 (call-with-input-file #f #<procedure get-bytevector-al?> ?)
In unknown file:
0 (open-file #f "r" #:encoding #f #:guess-encoding #f)
ERROR: In procedure open-file:
Wrong type (expecting string): #f
builder for `/gnu/store/…-linux-modules.drv' failed with exit code 1
* gnu/build/linux-modules.scm (find-module-file): When MODULE cannot be
found, raise an error instead of returning #f. This is more useful to
the user.
* gnu/build/linux-modules.scm (section-contents): Honor SECTION as was
intended.
(modinfo-section-contents): Pass 'section-contents' a section, not a
section name.
Previously we would not strip the ".ko" suffix if present.
* gnu/build/linux-modules.scm (file-name->module-name): Export.
* gnu/system/mapped-devices.scm (check-device-initrd-modules): Use
'file-name->module-name' instead of 'normalize-module-name'.
This should be more efficient than loading the whole thing in user space.
* gnu/build/linux-modules.scm (load-linux-module*): Use
'load-linux-module/fd' instead of 'load-linux-module'. Remove 'slurp'.
* gnu/packages/patches/guile-linux-syscalls.patch (scm_load_linux_module):
Leave 'errno' unchanged when ERR != 0.
* gnu/build/linux-modules.scm (load-linux-module*): Check for the errno
value of ARGS to determine whether the module was already loaded.
