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.
There are more than enough calls doing string manipulations to deserve
its own files, hence do something about it.
This patch also sorts the #include blocks of all files that needed to be
updated, according to the sorting suggestions from CODING_STYLE. Since
pretty much every file needs our string manipulation functions this
effectively means that most files have sorted #include blocks now.
Also touches a few unrelated include files.
We would ignore options like "fail" and "auto", and for any option
which takes a value the first assignment would win. Repeated and
options equivalent to the default are rarely used, but they have been
documented forever, and people might use them. Especially on the
kernel command line it is easier to append a repeated or negated
option at the end.
This fixes parsing of options in shared/generator.c. Existing code
had some issues:
- it would treate whitespace and semicolons as seperators. fstab(5)
is pretty clear that only commas matter. And the syntax does
not allow for spaces to be inserted in the field in fstab.
Whitespace might be escaped, but then it should not seperate
options. Treat whitespace and semicolons as any other character.
- it assumed that x-systemd.device-timeout would always be followed
by "=". But this is not guaranteed, hasmntopt will return this
option even if there's no value. Uninitialized memory could be read.
- some error paths would log, and inconsistently, some would just
return an error code.
Filtering is split out to a separate function and tests are added.
Similar code paths in other places are adjusted to use the new function.
