It if of course related to /proc/cmdline parsing, but is higher-level
functionality built on top of it. It should be in shared/ because it
is something to be used by pid1 and related utilities, not something for
level-level libraries.
systemd already sets the umask (see e3b8d0637d). When
running under systemd, we don't need to set it. And when *not* running under
systemd, for example during development, there is no reason to override the user
config. Let's just drop those calls.
$ git grep -e 'umask\(' -l 'src/*generator*' |xargs perl -i -0pe 's|^[^\n]*umask\([^\n]+\n\n||gms'
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary.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 removes LOG_TARGET_SAFE. It's made redundant by the new
"prohibit-ipc" logging flag, as it used to have a similar effect: avoid
logging to the journal/syslog, i.e. any local services in order to avoid
deadlocks when we lock from PID 1 or its utility processes (such as
generators).
All previous users of LOG_TARGET_SAFE are switched over to the new
setting. This makes things a bit safer for all, as not even the
SYSTEMD_LOG_TARGET env var can be used to accidentally log to the
journal anymore in these programs.
If "3", "5", "systemd.unit=", or similar are present on the kernel command line,
the system will not enter into offline update. This behaviour is in line with the
general logic that configuration on the kernel command line has higher priority
than the configuration on disk, but is rather surprising. Emit a warning to help
users diagnose the situation.

There are more than enough calls doing string manipulations to deserve
its own files, hence do something about it.
This patch also sorts the #include blocks of all files that needed to be
updated, according to the sorting suggestions from CODING_STYLE. Since
pretty much every file needs our string manipulation functions this
effectively means that most files have sorted #include blocks now.
Also touches a few unrelated include files.
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.
After all it is now much more like strjoin() than strappend(). At the
same time, add support for NULL sentinels, even if they are normally not
necessary.
The offline update mechanism is explicitly designed to work with a
separate /var. systemd-update-generator is supposed to run early,
before filesystems are mounted, so it cannot check if the
/system-update symlink actually points to anything.
The update is run *after* filesystems are mounted, so it should be
able to access the target of the symlink without trouble.

If the format string contains %m, clearly errno must have a meaningful
value, so we might as well use log_*_errno to have ERRNO= logged.
Using:
find . -name '*.[ch]' | xargs sed -r -i -e \
's/log_(debug|info|notice|warning|error|emergency)\((".*%m.*")/log_\1_errno(errno, \2/'
Plus some whitespace, linewrap, and indent adjustments.
also a number of minor fixups and bug fixes: spelling, oom errors
that didn't print errors, not properly forwarding error codes,
few more consistency issues, et cetera
Previously generated units were always placed at the end of the search
path. With this change there will be three unit dirs instead of one, to
place generated entries at the beginning, in the middle and at the end
of the search path:
beginning: for units that need to override all configuration, regardless
of user or vendor. Example use: system-update-generator uses this to
temporarily redirect default.target.
middle: for units that need to override vendor configuration, but not
vendor configuration. Example use: /etc/fstab should override vendor
supplied configuration (think /tmp), but should not override native user
configuration.
end: does not override anything but is available as well. Possible usage
might be to convert D-Bus bus service files to native units but allowing
vendor supplied native units to win.
