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.
Hiding automatic entries allows for giving custom entry names like
"Windows 10" instead of "Windows Boot Manager" by creating an appropriate
loader file in the loader/entries folder.
Note that it is already doable by renaming bootmgfw.efi (or the other auto-detected
boot loaders) and then using the renamed file for a custom entry. But windows will
automatically recreate the boot loader on updates, including the default EFI
bootloader entry if that one is missing.
Make hiding EFI reboot a separate option because there is no simple way to create
it with a custom loader entry and people may still want that around while still
hiding the other auto entries.
Also, turn no_editor into a positive boolean name while we're touching this code.
This renames find_esp() to find_esp_and_warn() and tries to normalize its
behaviour:
1. Change the error that is returned when we can't find the ESP to
ENOKEY (from ENOENT). This way the error code can only mean one
thing: that our search loop didn't find a good candidate.
2. Really log about all errors, except for ENOKEY and EACCES, and
document the letter cases.
3. Normalize parameters to the call: separate out the path parameter in
two: an input path and an output path. That way the memory management
is clear: we will access the input parameter only for reading, and
only write out the output parameter, using malloc() memory.
Before the calling convention were quire surprising for internal API
code, as the path parameter had to be malloc() memory and might and
might not have changed.
4. Rename bootctl's find_esp_warn() to acquire_esp(), and make it a
simple wrapper around find_esp_warn(), that basically just adds the
friendly logging for the ENOKEY case. This rework removes double
logging in a number of error cases, as we no longer log here in
anything but ENOKEY, and leave that entirely to find_esp_warn().
5. find_esp_and_warn() now takes a bool flag parameter
"unprivileged_mode", which disables logging in the EACCES case, and
skips privileged validation of the path. This makes the function less
magic, and doesn't hide this internal silencing automatism from the
caller anymore.
With all that in place "bootctl list" and "bootctl status" work properly
(or as good as they can) when I invoke the tools whithout privileges on
my system where /boot is not world-readable
