On systems that boot without initrd on a btrfs root file systems the
BTRFS_IOC_DEV_INFO ioctl returns /dev/root as backing device. That
sucks, since that is not a real device visible to userspace.
Since this has been that way since forever, and it doesn't look like the
kernel will get fixed soon for this, let's at least generate a useful
error message in this case.
This is not a bug fix, just a tweak to make this more recognizable.
Once the kernel gets fixed to report the correct device nodes in this
case, in a way userspace can make sense of them things will magically
work for systemd, too.
(Note that this doesn't add a log message about this to really all cases
we call get_device() in, but just the main ones that are called in early
boot context, after all all there's no benefit in seeing this message
too many times.)

Let's make libcryptsetup a dlopen() style dep for PID 1 (i.e. for
RootImage= and stuff), systemd-growfs and systemd-repart. (But leave to
be a regulra dep in systemd-cryptsetup, systemd-veritysetup and
systemd-homed since for them the libcryptsetup support is not auxiliary
but pretty much at the core of what they do.)
This should be useful for container images that want systemd in the
payload but don't care for the cryptsetup logic since dm-crypt and stuff
isn't available in containers anyway.
Fixes: #8249
"crypt-util.c" is such a generic name, let's avoid that, in particular
as libc's/libcrypt's crypt() function is so generically named too that
one might thing this is about that. Let's hence be more precise, and
make clear that this is about cryptsetup, and nothing else.
We already had cryptsetup-util.[ch] in src/cryptsetup/ doing keyfile
management. To avoid the needless confusion, let's rename that file to
cryptsetup-keyfile.[ch].

This gets rid of most but not occasions of these loaded terms:
1. scsi_id and friends are something that is supposed to be removed from
our tree (see #7594)
2. The test suite defines an API used by the ubuntu CI. We can remove
this too later, but this needs to be done in sync with the ubuntu CI.
3. In some cases the terms are part of APIs we call or where we expose
concepts the kernel names the way it names them. (In particular all
remaining uses of the word "slave" in our codebase are like this,
it's used by the POSIX PTY layer, by the network subsystem, the mount
API and the block device subsystem). Getting rid of the term in these
contexts would mean doing some major fixes of the kernel ABI first.
Regarding the replacements: when whitelist/blacklist is used as noun we
replace with with allow list/deny list, and when used as verb with
allow-list/deny-list.
Ideally, coccinelle would strip unnecessary braces too. But I do not see any
option in coccinelle for this, so instead, I edited the patch text using
search&replace to remove the braces. Unfortunately this is not fully automatic,
in particular it didn't deal well with if-else-if-else blocks and ifdefs, so
there is an increased likelikehood be some bugs in such spots.
I also removed part of the patch that coccinelle generated for udev, where we
returns -1 for failure. This should be fixed independently.
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.
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.
We let the caller make the decision. Existing callers are OK with treating an
ambiguous result the same as no content, but makefs and growfs should refuse such
partitions.
