coverity message:
sign_extension: Suspicious implicit sign extension: "keydata.Key.ScanCode" with type "UINT16" (16 bits, unsigned) is promoted in "keydata.Key.ScanCode << 16" to type "int" (32 bits, signed), then sign-extended to type "unsigned long" (64 bits, unsigned). If "keydata.Key.ScanCode << 16" is greater than 0x7FFFFFFF, the upper bits of the result will all be 1.
This is really confusing, let's try to clean this up a bit, in
particular as there are two very similar concepts:
1. The boot loaders, i.e. the category you find systemd-boot, the
Windows and Apple boot loaders in. These may typically be listed in the
firmware's EFI variables.
2. The boot loader entries, as defined by the Boot Loader Spec. In this
category you find the various Linux kernels that are installed, i.e.
the stuff systemd-boot shows on screen. To make things confusing, the
Windows and Apple boot loaders can appear both as boot loaders and as
boot loader entries.
This tries to establish the following nomenclature: "boot loaders" and
"boot loader entries" for these two concepts.
boot_loader_read_conf(), boot_entries_find(), boot_entries_load_config()
all log their errors internally, hence no need to log a second or third
time about the same error when they return.
We already synchronize all files we write individually, as well as the
directories they are stored in. Let's also synchronize the ESP as a
whole after our work, just in case.
cross building systemd to arm64 presently fails, because the build
system uses plain gcc and plain ld (build architecture compiler and
linker respectively) for building src/boot/efi. These values come from
the efi-cc and efi-ld options respectively. It rather should be using
host tools here.

Back in 08318a2c5a, value "false" was enabled for
'-Dtests=', but various tests were not conditionalized properly. So even with
-Dtests=false -Dslow-tests=false we'd run 120 tests. Let's make this consistent.
On Dell machines LoadOptions is filled with:
01 00 00 00 <name of BIOS Boot Loader Entry> ... <unknown bytes>
So, in case of meaningfull LoadOptions, better check if the first char
is a printable character.
This is a bit like the info link in most of GNU's --help texts, but we
don't do info but man pages, and we make them properly clickable on
terminal supporting that, because awesome.
I think it's generally advisable to link up our (brief) --help texts and
our (more comprehensive) man pages a bit, so this should be an easy and
straight-forward way to do it.
Meson does not care either way, so let's use the simpler syntax. And files()
already gives a list, so nesting this in a list wouldn't be necessary even
if meson did not flatten everything.
$ git grep -e 'This program is free software' -l |grep -v LICENSE | \
xargs perl -i -0pe 's/ \* This program.*?for more details.\s*\*\n( \* You should have.*licenses.>.\n)?//gms'
For some reason they were missed previously. All those files seem to
have proper SDPX tags.
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.
UINTN is the integer type equalling the native ptr size. Let's fix the
casting warnings described in #7788 by casting the the pointers and
values to this type first. That way we cast integers to the right size
first before turning them into pointers, and pointers are first
covnerted to integers of the right size before converting them into
integers.
Not tested, since I lack i386 EFI systems, but I think this is simple
enough to be correct event without testing.
Fixes: #7788
Double newlines (i.e. one empty lines) are great to structure code. But
let's avoid triple newlines (i.e. two empty lines), quadruple newlines,
quintuple newlines, …, that's just spurious whitespace.
It's an easy way to drop 121 lines of code, and keeps the coding style
of our sources a bit tigther.
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.
We don't need to check if we are adding ourselves to the list
if we know that it's the windows or EFI shell loaders.
If we are adding the EFI default loader, additionally try to
see if we can find the systemd-boot magic string and skip
this entry if we do.
