On systems that boot without initrd on a btrfs root file systems the
BTRFS_IOC_DEV_INFO ioctl returns /dev/root as backing device. That
sucks, since that is not a real device visible to userspace.
Since this has been that way since forever, and it doesn't look like the
kernel will get fixed soon for this, let's at least generate a useful
error message in this case.
This is not a bug fix, just a tweak to make this more recognizable.
Once the kernel gets fixed to report the correct device nodes in this
case, in a way userspace can make sense of them things will magically
work for systemd, too.
(Note that this doesn't add a log message about this to really all cases
we call get_device() in, but just the main ones that are called in early
boot context, after all all there's no benefit in seeing this message
too many times.)

Let's make libcryptsetup a dlopen() style dep for PID 1 (i.e. for
RootImage= and stuff), systemd-growfs and systemd-repart. (But leave to
be a regulra dep in systemd-cryptsetup, systemd-veritysetup and
systemd-homed since for them the libcryptsetup support is not auxiliary
but pretty much at the core of what they do.)
This should be useful for container images that want systemd in the
payload but don't care for the cryptsetup logic since dm-crypt and stuff
isn't available in containers anyway.
Fixes: #8249
"crypt-util.c" is such a generic name, let's avoid that, in particular
as libc's/libcrypt's crypt() function is so generically named too that
one might thing this is about that. Let's hence be more precise, and
make clear that this is about cryptsetup, and nothing else.
We already had cryptsetup-util.[ch] in src/cryptsetup/ doing keyfile
management. To avoid the needless confusion, let's rename that file to
cryptsetup-keyfile.[ch].
This file must be included on non-glibc systems to ensure
the `LOCK_EX` definition is available.

When assembling a disk image locally, using --size=auto can be used to
generate the minimal image based on the provided definitions. THis is
useful to prepare images that are grown on first boot.
Wiping means writing zero sectors to disk. Hence it's better to do this
before we discard, so that the zeroes we use to overwrite are properly
discarded. If we'd do it the other way round we'd discard the data and
then reallocte it just to write zeroes.
We initialize the partition contents before the partitions actually
exist, hence to reduce confusion let's talk about "future partitions" up
to the point where they are actually realized.
Let's issue the wiping ourselves, so that we know it's done before we
write partition data onto the disk, and before the disk label
is written. Before this commit the writing of the disk label would imply
the wiping step, potentially overriding again what we just wrote into
the disk data section.
(Normally this shouldn't matter, since the partition table metadata
that the wiping process deletes is at the start and end of the disk
while we write our data to the middle, but you never know what kind of
weird signatures might exist that depart from that.)
(And effectively this ends up using the same wiping code, since that's
implemented in libblkkid, and libfdisk just acts as frontend to that
anyway. We now simply call it directly.)
The context_unload_partition_table() call is supposed to remove all
data from the loaded partitions about how we mapped it to existing
partitions on disk, but it should leave everything we parsed from the
definition files in place.
We mostly got this right, except for two cases:
1. new_uuid is parsed from the definition files and should stay
2. current_label is read from the existing partition table and should be
freed
The test would always fail with a long uname. In F33 this is right
now "5.8.0-0.rc2.20200622git625d3449788f.1.fc33.x86_64" which caused the
test to always fail.
This allows copying in arbitrary file systems on the block level into
newly created partitions.
Usecase: simple replicating OS installers or OS image builders.

This gets rid of most but not occasions of these loaded terms:
1. scsi_id and friends are something that is supposed to be removed from
our tree (see #7594)
2. The test suite defines an API used by the ubuntu CI. We can remove
this too later, but this needs to be done in sync with the ubuntu CI.
3. In some cases the terms are part of APIs we call or where we expose
concepts the kernel names the way it names them. (In particular all
remaining uses of the word "slave" in our codebase are like this,
it's used by the POSIX PTY layer, by the network subsystem, the mount
API and the block device subsystem). Getting rid of the term in these
contexts would mean doing some major fixes of the kernel ABI first.
Regarding the replacements: when whitelist/blacklist is used as noun we
replace with with allow list/deny list, and when used as verb with
allow-list/deny-list.
Strictly speaking this is a compat breakage, but given the tool was
added only in the last release, let's try to sail under the radar, and
fix this early before anyone notices it wasn't supported always.
This is a follow-up for 9f83091e3c.
Instead of reading the mtime off the configuration files after reading,
let's do so before reading, but with the fd we read the data from. This
is not only cleaner (as it allows us to save one stat()), but also has
the benefit that we'll detect changes that happen while we read the
files.
This also reworks unit file drop-ins to use the common code for
determining drop-in mtime, instead of reading system clock for that.
This adds --empty=create and --size= for creating loopback files from
scratch of a specified size, or growing loopback files to the specified
size when they already exist.
This is useful when operating on disk image files, as a manual
invocation of fallocate(1) becomes unnecessary.
