These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary.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.
This drops a good number of type-specific _cleanup_ macros, and patches
all users to just use the generic ones.
In most recent code we abstained from defining type-specific macros, and
this basically removes all those added already, with the exception of
the really low-level ones.
Having explicit macros for this is not too useful, as the expression
without the extra macro is generally just 2ch wider. We should generally
emphesize generic code, unless there are really good reasons for
specific code, hence let's follow this in this case too.
Note that _cleanup_free_ and similar really low-level, libc'ish, Linux
API'ish macros continue to be defined, only the really high-level OO
ones are dropped. From now on this should really be the rule: for really
low-level stuff, such as memory allocation, fd handling and so one, go
ahead and define explicit per-type macros, but for high-level, specific
program code, just use the generic _cleanup_() macro directly, in order
to keep things simple and as readable as possible for the uninitiated.
Note that before this patch some of the APIs (notable libudev ones) were
already used with the high-level macros at some places and with the
generic _cleanup_ macro at others. With this patch we hence unify on the
latter.
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.
Merge write_string_file(), write_string_file_no_create() and
write_string_file_atomic() into write_string_file() and provide a flags mask
that allows combinations of atomic writing, newline appending and automatic
file creation. Change all users accordingly.
On my computer, the minimum brightness enforced by clamping in
backlight is too bright.
Let udev property ID_BACKLIGHT_CLAMP control whether the brightness
is clamped or not.
If the format string contains %m, clearly errno must have a meaningful
value, so we might as well use log_*_errno to have ERRNO= logged.
Using:
find . -name '*.[ch]' | xargs sed -r -i -e \
's/log_(debug|info|notice|warning|error|emergency)\((".*%m.*")/log_\1_errno(errno, \2/'
Plus some whitespace, linewrap, and indent adjustments.
As a followup to 086891e5c1 "log: add an "error" parameter to all
low-level logging calls and intrdouce log_error_errno() as log calls
that take error numbers", use sed to convert the simple cases to use
the new macros:
find . -name '*.[ch]' | xargs sed -r -i -e \
's/log_(debug|info|notice|warning|error|emergency)\("(.*)%s"(.*), strerror\(-([a-zA-Z_]+)\)\);/log_\1_errno(-\4, "\2%m"\3);/'
Multi-line log_*() invocations are not covered.
And we also should add log_unit_*_errno().

Thank you for explanation, this sounds very reasonable to me. Please,
see updated patch:
If too high a brightness value has been saved (e.g. due to kernel
mechanism changing from one kernel version to another, or booting the
userspace on another system), the brightness update fails and the
process exits.

backlight: Avoid restoring brightness to an unreadably dim level
and the absolute maximum.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78200
On virtually any newer Asus mainboard, the eeepc-wmi driver is loaded.
It exposes a backlight device despite the lack of any physical backlight
devices. This fake backlight device has max_brightness set to 0. Since
the introduction of the clamp_brightness function, systemd-backlight
tries to write '1' to brightness and fails.
This patch changes systemd-backlight to exit gracefully when
max_brightness is 0 before performing any action. This affects
both the load and save actions.
Some systems turn the backlight all the way off at the lowest levels.
Clamp saved brightness to at least 1 or 5% of max_brightness. This
avoids preserving an unreadably dim screen, which would otherwise force
the user to disable state restoration.
udev_device_get_sysattr_value returns NULL on failure, but doesn't
provide an error code; thus, when printing an error from it, don't print
an unrelated error code from a previous call.
If -flto is used then gcc will generate a lot more warnings than before,
among them a number of use-without-initialization warnings. Most of them
without are false positives, but let's make them go away, because it
doesn't really matter.
Instead of individually checking for containers in each user do this
once in a new call proc_cmdline() that read the file only if we are not
in a container.
When set to 0 this will stop tools like the backlight and rfkill tools to
restore state from previous boot. This is useful in case the stored state
is bogus to the extent that it is preventing you from resetting it (e.g.,
the backlight settings cause the screen to be off on boot on a system where
the backlight can not be adjusted directly from the keyboard).
Much like for rfkill devices we should provide some stability regarding
enumeration order, hence include the stable bits of the device path in
the file name we store settings under.
As many laptops don't save/restore screen brightness across reboots,
let's do this in systemd with a minimal tool, that restores the
brightness as early as possible, and saves it as late as possible. This
will cover consoles and graphical logins, but graphical desktops should
do their own per-user stuff probably.
This only touches firmware brightness controls for now.
