These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary.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.
This patch removes includes that are not used. The removals were found with
include-what-you-use which checks if any of the symbols from a header is
in use.
The kernel provides capabilities as a u32 array, sd-bus uses an u8 array.
This works fine on little-endian as both are encoded the same way.
However, this fails on big-endian if we do not perform sufficient
byte-swapping on each u32 entry.
This patch makes sd-bus use u32, too. We avoid changing any kernel
provided data so we can keep pointing into kdbus pool buffers which
contain u32 arrays.
The number of available caps can be read from
/proc/sys/kernel/cap_last_cap during runtime. Our helper cap_last_cap()
does that, so there's no reason to remember the size of any capability
cache. We can just pre-allocate arrays with a suitable size for all
available caps and reject any higher caps.
The kernel capability API uses u32 as base so make sure we do the same.
Note that this is specified by POSIX, so it's unlikely to change.
Also:
- adds support for euid, suid, fsuid, egid, sgid, fsgid fields.
- makes augmentation of creds with data from /proc explicitly
controllable to give apps better control over this, given that this is
racy.
- enables augmentation for kdbus connections (previously we only did it
for dbus1). This is useful since with recent kdbus versions it is
possible for clients to control the metadata they want to send.
- changes sd_bus_query_sender_privilege() to take the euid of the client
into consideration, if known
- when we don't have permissions to read augmentation data from /proc,
don't fail, just don't add the data in
