I think this is more useful (because it's easy to stick the path into an editor command
when one wants to change the options or inspect the files), and more self-explanatory.

Previously, bootctl would show boot loader entries discovered by the
boot loader which couldn't found locally separately in the output.
Let's move this code into bootspec.c, and beef it up a bit. This way we
can use it later on for logind, and correctly show automatically
discovered windows/macos entries too.
Previously, when we'd copy an individual file we'd synthesize a
user.crtime_usec xattr with the source's creation time if we can
determine it. As the creation/birth time was until recently not
queriable form userspace this effectively just propagated the same xattr
on the source to the same xattr on the destination. However, current
kernels now allow to query the birthtime using statx() and we do make
use of that now. Which means that suddenly we started synthesizing these
xattrs much more regularly.
Doing this actually does make sense, but only in very few cases:
not for the typical regular files we copy, but certainly when dealing
with disk images. Hence, let's keep this kind of propagation, but let's
make it a flag and default to off. Then turn it on whenever we deal with
disk images, and leave it off otherwise.
This is particularly relevant as overlayfs combining a real fs, and a
tmpfs on top will result in EOPNOTSUPP when it is attempted to open a
file with xattrs for writing, as tmpfs does not support xattrs, and
hence the copy-up cannot work. Hence, let's avoid synthesizing this
needlessly, to increase compat with overlayfs.
This has been irritating me for quite a while: let's prefix these enum
values with a common prefix, like we do for almost all other enums.
No change in behaviour, just some renaming.
fdopen doesn't accept "e", it's ignored. Let's not mislead people into
believing that it actually sets O_CLOEXEC.
From `man 3 fdopen`:
> e (since glibc 2.7):
> Open the file with the O_CLOEXEC flag. See open(2) for more information. This flag is ignored for fdopen()
As mentioned by @jlebon in #11131.
This splits out a bunch of functions from fileio.c that have to do with
temporary files. Simply to make the header files a bit shorter, and to
group things more nicely.
No code changes, just some rearranging of source files.
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.
Pretty much everything uses just the first argument, and this doesn't make this
common pattern more complicated, but makes it simpler to pass multiple options.
This is really confusing, let's try to clean this up a bit, in
particular as there are two very similar concepts:
1. The boot loaders, i.e. the category you find systemd-boot, the
Windows and Apple boot loaders in. These may typically be listed in the
firmware's EFI variables.
2. The boot loader entries, as defined by the Boot Loader Spec. In this
category you find the various Linux kernels that are installed, i.e.
the stuff systemd-boot shows on screen. To make things confusing, the
Windows and Apple boot loaders can appear both as boot loaders and as
boot loader entries.
This tries to establish the following nomenclature: "boot loaders" and
"boot loader entries" for these two concepts.
boot_loader_read_conf(), boot_entries_find(), boot_entries_load_config()
all log their errors internally, hence no need to log a second or third
time about the same error when they return.
We already synchronize all files we write individually, as well as the
directories they are stored in. Let's also synchronize the ESP as a
whole after our work, just in case.
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.
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.
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.
Let's make use this at various places we call fsync(), to make things
fully reliable, as the kernel devs suggest to first fsync() files and
then fsync() the directories they are located in.
