Just some renaming, no change in behaviour.
Background: I'd like to add more functions unit_test_xyz() that test
various things, hence let's streamline the naming a bit.
Similar to the cgroup magic we nowadays do when listening to sockets, to
assign them the right bpf programs, let's also do the same and join the
specified netns in the child process.
This allows people to listen in sockets in specific namespaces, or join
multiple services and socket units together to live in the same
namespace.
This allows clients to follow our internal state changes safely.
Previously, quick state changes (for example, when we restart a unit due
to Restart= after it quickly transitioned through DEAD/FAILED states)
would be coalesced into one bus signal event, with this change there's
the guarantee that all state changes after the unit was announced ones
are reflected on th bus.
Note we only do this kind of guaranteed flushing only for unit state
changes, not for other unit property changes, where clients still have
to expect coalescing. This is because the unit state is a very
important, high-level concept.

This splits the "environment" field of Manager into two:
transient_environment and client_environment. The former is generated
from configuration file, kernel cmdline, environment generators. The
latter is the one the user can control with "systemctl set-environment"
and similar.
Both sets are merged transparently whenever needed. Separating the two
sets has the benefit that we can safely flush out the former while
keeping the latter during daemon reload cycles, so that env var settings
from env generators or configuration files do not accumulate, but
dynamic API changes are kept around.
Note that this change is not entirely transparent to users: if the user
first uses "set-environment" to override a transient variable, and then
uses "unset-environment" to unset it again things will revert to the
original transient variable now, while previously the variable was fully
removed. This change in behaviour should not matter too much though I
figure.
Fixes: #9972
Let's be more careful with what we serialize: let's ensure we never
serialize strings that are longer than LONG_LINE_MAX, so that we know we
can read them back with read_line(…, LONG_LINE_MAX, …) safely.
In order to implement this all serialization functions are move to
serialize.[ch], and internally will do line size checks. We'd rather
skip a serialization line (with a loud warning) than write an overly
long line out. Of course, this is just a second level protection, after
all the data we serialize shouldn't be this long in the first place.
While we are at it also clean up logging: while serializing make sure to
always log about errors immediately. Also, (void)ify all calls we don't
expect errors in (or catch errors as part of the general
fflush_and_check() at the end.
All over the place we define local variables for the various sockopts
that take a bool-like "int" value. Sometimes they are const, sometimes
static, sometimes both, sometimes neither.
Let's clean this up, introduce a common const variable "const_int_one"
(as well as one matching "const_int_zero") and use it everywhere, all
acorss the codebase.
Let's fold get_user_creds_clean() into get_user_creds(), and introduce a
flags argument for it to select "clean" behaviour. This flags parameter
also learns to other new flags:
- USER_CREDS_SYNTHESIZE_FALLBACK: in this mode the user records for
root/nobody are only synthesized as fallback. Normally, the synthesized
records take precedence over what is in the user database. With this
flag set this is reversed, and the user database takes precedence, and
the synthesized records are only used if they are missing there. This
flag should be set in cases where doing NSS is deemed safe, and where
there's interest in knowing the correct shell, for example if the
admin changed root's shell to zsh or suchlike.
- USER_CREDS_ALLOW_MISSING: if set, and a UID/GID is specified by
numeric value, and there's no user/group record for it accept it
anyway. This allows us to fix#9767
This then also ports all users to set the most appropriate flags.

[zj: remove one isempty() call]
Looked for definitions of functions using the *_compare_func() suffix.
Tested:
- Unit tests passed (ninja -C build/ test)
- Installed this build and booted with it.
Users are often surprised that "systemd-run" command lines like
"systemd-run -p User=idontexist /bin/true" will return successfully,
even though the logs show that the process couldn't be invoked, as the
user "idontexist" doesn't exist. This is because Type=simple will only
wait until fork() succeeded before returning start-up success.
This patch adds a new service type Type=exec, which is very similar to
Type=simple, but waits until the child process completed the execve()
before returning success. It uses a pipe that has O_CLOEXEC set for this
logic, so that the kernel automatically sends POLLHUP on it when the
execve() succeeded but leaves the pipe open if not. This means PID 1
waits exactly until the execve() succeeded in the child, and not longer
and not shorter, which is the desired functionality.
Making use of this new functionality, the command line
"systemd-run -p User=idontexist -p Type=exec /bin/true" will now fail,
as expected.
Whenever a unit is started fresh we should flush out any runtime data
from the previous cycle. We are pretty good at that already, but what so
far we missed was the ExecStart=/ExecStop=/… command exit status data.
Let's fix that, and properly flush out that stuff too.
Consider this service:
[Service]
ExecStart=/bin/sleep infinity
ExecStop=/bin/false
When this service is started, then stopped and then started again
"systemctl status" would show the ExecStop= results of the previous run
along with the ExecStart= results of the current one, which is very
confusing. With this patch this is corrected: the data is kept right
until the moment the new service cycle starts, and then flushed out.
Hence "systemctl status" in that case will only show the ExecStart=
data, but no ExecStop= data, like it should be.
This should fix part of the confusion of #9588
We always initialize it from the same field in ExecCommand anyway, hence
there's no point in passing it separately to exec_spawn(), after all we
already pass the ExecCommand structure itself anyway.
No change in behaviour.
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary. With
SPDX and git repository much more accurate and fine grained information
about licensing and authorship is available, hence let's drop the
per-file copyright notice. Of course, removing copyright lines of others
is problematic, hence this commit only removes my own lines and leaves
all others untouched. It might be nicer if sooner or later those could
go away too, making git the only and accurate source of authorship
information.
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
The function is similar to path_kill_slashes() but also removes
initial './', trailing '/.', and '/./' in the path.
When the second argument of path_simplify() is false, then it
behaves as the same as path_kill_slashes(). Hence, this also
replaces path_kill_slashes() with path_simplify().
This adds a flags parameter to unit_notify() which can be used to pass
additional notification information to the function. We the make the old
reload_failure boolean parameter one of these flags, and then add a new
flag that let's unit_notify() if we are configured to restart the
service.
Note that this adjusts behaviour of systemd to match what the docs say.

When I see "test", I have to think three times what the return value
means. With "below" this is immediately clear. ratelimit_below(&limit)
sounds almost like English and is imho immediately obvious.
(I also considered ratelimit_ok, but this strongly implies that being under the
limit is somehow better. Most of the times this is true, but then we use the
ratelimit to detect triple-c-a-d, and "ok" doesn't fit so well there.)

Previously we were a bit sloppy with the index and size types of arrays,
we'd regularly use unsigned. While I don't think this ever resulted in
real issues I think we should be more careful there and follow a
stricter regime: unless there's a strong reason not to use size_t for
array sizes and indexes, size_t it should be. Any allocations we do
ultimately will use size_t anyway, and converting forth and back between
unsigned and size_t will always be a source of problems.
Note that on 32bit machines "unsigned" and "size_t" are equivalent, and
on 64bit machines our arrays shouldn't grow that large anyway, and if
they do we have a problem, however that kind of overly large allocation
we have protections for usually, but for overflows we do not have that
so much, hence let's add it.
So yeah, it's a story of the current code being already "good enough",
but I think some extra type hygiene is better.
This patch tries to be comprehensive, but it probably isn't and I missed
a few cases. But I guess we can cover that later as we notice it. Among
smaller fixes, this changes:
1. strv_length()' return type becomes size_t
2. the unit file changes array size becomes size_t
3. DNS answer and query array sizes become size_t

Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
