Built-in modules are listed in modules.builtin and are not .ko files, so modinfo has nothing useful to return for them. Older modinfo (e.g. on Alibaba Cloud Linux 3) even exits non-zero when asked about builtins, which aborts dependency resolution. Only query names that map to loadable module files; keep modules.builtin for dependency warnings. Signed-off-by: Xynnn007 <xynnn@linux.alibaba.com>
--force was added in systemd 246. When the tools tree provides an older systemd-firstboot (for example Alibaba Cloud Linux 3's systemd 239), passing --force makes the firstboot step fail. Gate the flag on the tools binary version. Signed-off-by: Xynnn007 <xynnn@linux.alibaba.com>
--disable-shim-lock was added in GRUB 2.06. Older grub-mkimage (for example Alibaba Cloud Linux 3's GRUB 2.02) rejects the unknown option and fails image generation. Probe --help and only pass the flag when supported. Signed-off-by: Xynnn007 <xynnn@linux.alibaba.com>
RHEL-family grub2-efi packages ship /boot/grub2/grubenv as a symlink to a %ghost file under /boot/efi/EFI/<vendor>/grubenv. When that target is absent, systemd-repart CopyFiles=/boot:/ fails while populating the ESP. Create a minimal grubenv at the symlink target before installing grub.

Add alinux as a CentOS-variant installer for release 3, with Aliyun mirrors, EPEL 8 sibling layout, SHA1 rpm-sequoia policy for the vendor key, and a grubby stub around kernel package installation so dnf5 does not abort on failing %posttrans scriptlets. Document the distribution and cover repository/GPG helpers with unit tests. Signed-off-by: Xynnn007 <xynnn@linux.alibaba.com> Signed-off-by: qianyue.zj <qianyue.zj@alibaba-inc.com>
Include alinux in the shared CentOS-family Match groups, and split out packages missing on Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 / EPEL 8 (btrfs-progs, gh, virtiofsd, systemd-ukify, systemd-resolved, systemd-boot, wireless-regdb) so other distributions keep the same package sets. Signed-off-by: Xynnn007 <xynnn@linux.alibaba.com>

Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 (alinux) is Alibaba Cloud's enterprise Linux distribution. Release 3 is built on Anolis OS 8 and is compatible with the CentOS 8 / RHEL 8 package ecosystems. This PR adds
Distribution=alinuxsupport to mkosi for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3, implemented as a CentOS-family variant, plus a few compatibility fixes needed for older tooling commonly found on that stack (GRUB 2.02, systemd 239, older modinfo).Concretely:
