These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary.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.
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.
Add path argument to clock_is_localtime() and default to "/etc/adjtime" if it's
NULL. This makes the function testable.
Add test-clock: initial test cases for some scenarios, using a temporary file.
This also checks the behaviour with a NULL (i. e. the system's /etc/adjtime)
file.
For use in timesyncd we already defined a compile-time "epoch" value, which is based on the mtime of the NEWS file, and
specifies a point in time we know lies in the past at runtime. timesyncd uses this to filter out nonsensical timestamp
file data, and bump the system clock to a time that is after the build time of systemd. This patch adds similar bumping
code to earliest PID 1 initialization, so that the system never continues operation with a clock that is in the 1970ies
or even 1930s.
