These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary.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 is mostly fall-out from d1a1f0aaf0,
however some cases are older bugs.
There might be more issues lurking, this was a simple grep for "%m"
across the tree, with all lines removed that mention "errno" at all.
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.
This reworks the SELinux and SMACK label fixing calls in a number of
ways:
1. The two separate boolean arguments of these functions are converted
into a flags type LabelFixFlags.
2. The operations are now implemented based on O_PATH. This should
resolve TTOCTTOU races between determining the label for the file
system object and applying it, as it it allows to pin the object
while we are operating on it.
3. When changing a label fails we'll query the label previously set, and
if matches what we want to set anyway we'll suppress the error.
Also, all calls to label_fix() are now (void)ified, when we ignore the
return values.

The advantage is that is the name is mispellt, cpp will warn us.

v2:
- fix incorrect setting of HAVE_LIBIDN2
All those uses were correct, but I think it's better to be explicit.
Using implicit errno is too error prone, and with this change we can require
(in the sense of a style guideline) that the code is always specified.
Helpful query: git grep -n -P 'log_[^s][a-z]+\(.*%m'
This reverts commit 6355e75610.
The previously mentioned commit inadvertently broke a lot of SELinux related
functionality for both unprivileged users and systemd instances running as
MANAGER_USER. In particular, setting the correct SELinux context after a User=
directive is used would fail to work since we attempt to set the security
context after changing UID. Additionally, it causes activated socket units to
be mislabeled for systemd --user processes since setsockcreatecon() would never
be called.
Reverting this fixes the issues with labeling outlined above, and reinstates
SELinux access checks on unprivileged user services.
Let's distuingish the cases where our code takes an active role in
selinux management, or just passively reports whatever selinux
properties are set.
mac_selinux_have() now checks whether selinux is around for the passive
stuff, and mac_selinux_use() for the active stuff. The latter checks the
former, plus also checks UID == 0, under the assumption that only when
we run priviliged selinux management really makes sense.
Fixes: #1941
get_current_dir_name() can return a variety of errors, not just ENOMEM,
hence don't blindly turn its errors to ENOMEM, but return correct errors
in path_make_absolute_cwd().
This trickles down into a couple of other functions, some of which
receive unrelated minor fixes too with this commit.
When mcstransd* is running non-raw functions will return translated SELinux
context. Problem is that libselinux will cache this information and in the
future it will return same context even though mcstransd maybe not running at
that time. If you then check with such context against SELinux policy then
selinux_check_access may fail depending on whether mcstransd is running or not.
To workaround this problem/bug in libselinux, we should always get raw context
instead. Most users will not notice because result of access check is logged
only in debug mode.
* SELinux context translation service, which will translates labels to human
readable form
