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 tries to improve the mac_smack_fix() logic a bit, by properly
handling non-absolute paths.
It's still pretty broken though, which is sad for security technology:
non-normalized paths (for example "/usr/../dev/sda") will still not be
treated correctly. I am not sure how to fix that properly though, and I
don't understand SMACK well enough to do so. This fix hence just fixes
to most obvious glaring issue.
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.
Fixes: #8566
The advantage is that is the name is mispellt, cpp will warn us.

squash! build-sys: use #if Y instead of #ifdef Y everywhere
v2:
- fix incorrect setting of HAVE_LIBIDN2
systemd-sysusers.service unit creates system users and groups and it
could update /etc/passwd, /etc/group, /etc/shadow and /etc/gshadow.
Those files should have '_' smack label because of accessibility.
However, if systemd has its own smack label using '--with-smack-run-label'
configuration, systemd-sysusers process spawned by systemd(pid:1) has
its parent smack label and eventually updated files also is set as its
parent smack label.
This patch fixes that bug by labeling updated files as '_' smack label
when --with-smack-run-label' is enabled.
- Add smack xattr lookup table
- Unify all of mac_smack_apply_xxx{_fd}() to mac_smack_apply() and
mac_smack_apply_fd().
- Add smack xattr read apis similar with apply apis as
mac_smack_read{_fd}().
The latest consolidation cleanup of write_string_file() revealed some users
of that helper which should have used write_string_file_no_create() in the
past but didn't. Basically, all existing users that write to files in /sys
and /proc should not expect to write to a file which is not yet existant.
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.
