Back in 5248e7e1f1 (July 2017) we moved over to
"_gateway", with the old name declared to be temporary measure. Since we're
doing a bunch of changes to resolved now, it seems to be a good moment to make
this simplification and not add support for the compat name in new code.
As described in #15603, it is a fairly common setup to use a fqdn as the
configured hostname. But it is often convenient to use just the actual
hostname, i.e. until the first dot. This adds support in tmpfiles, sysusers,
and unit files for %l which expands to that.
Fixes#15603.
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary.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.
log.h really should only include the bare minimum of other headers, as
it is really pulled into pretty much everything else and already in
itself one of the most basic pieces of code we have.
Let's hence drop inclusion of:
1. sd-id128.h because it's entirely unneeded in current log.h
2. errno.h, dito.
3. sys/signalfd.h which we can replace by a simple struct forward
declaration
4. process-util.h which was needed for getpid_cached() which we now hide
in a funciton log_emergency_level() instead, which nicely abstracts
the details away.
5. sys/socket.h which was needed for struct iovec, but a simple struct
forward declaration suffices for that too.
Ultimately this actually makes our source tree larger (since users of
the functionality above must now include it themselves, log.h won't do
that for them), but I think it helps to untangle our web of includes a
tiny bit.
(Background: I'd like to isolate the generic bits of src/basic/ enough
so that we can do a git submodule import into casync for it)
This commit updates networkd behavior to check if the hostname option
received via DHCP is too long for Linux limit, and in case shorten it.
An overlong hostname will be truncated to the first dot or to
`HOST_MAX_LEN`, whatever comes earlier.
First of all, let's rename it to read_etc_hostname(), to make clearer
what kind of configuration it actually reads: the file format defined in
/etc/hostname and nothing else.
Secondly: let's port this to use read_line(), i.e. the new way to read
lines from a file in a safe, bounded way.
Thirdly: let's strip leading/trailing whitespace from what we are
reading. Given that we are already pretty lenient what we read (comments
and empty lines), let's be permissive regarding whitespace too.
Fourthly: let's actually validate the hostname when reading it. So far
we tried to make it valid, but that's not always possible (for example,
we can't make an empty hostname valid, ever).
Let's add some minimalistic LLDP sender support. The idea is that this is
either on or off, and all fields determined automatically rather than
configured explicitly.
As it turns out machine_name_is_valid() does the exact same thing as
hostname_is_valid() these days, as it just invoked that and checked the
name length was < 64. However, hostname_is_valid() checks the length
against HOST_NAME_MAX anyway (which is 64 on Linux), hence any
additional check is redundant.
We hence replace machine_name_is_valid() by a macro that simply maps it
to hostname_is_valid() but sets the allow_trailing_dot parameter to
false. We also move this this call to hostname-util.h, to the same place
as the hostname_is_valid() declaration.
This moves is_gateway() from nss-myhostname into the basic APIs, and
makes it more like is_localhost(). Also, we rename it to
is_gateway_hostname() to make it more expressive.
Sharing this function in src/basic/ allows us to reuse the function for
routing name requests in resolved (in a later commit).
Tests are modified to check behaviour with relax and without relax.
New tests are added for hostname_cleanup().
Tests are moved a new file (test-hostname-util) because there's
now a bunch of them.
New parameter is not used anywhere, except in tests, so there should
be no observable change.
