I figure sooneror later we'll have more of these docs, hence let's give
them a clean place to be.
This leaves NEWS and README/README.md as well as the LICENSE texts in
the root directory of the project since that appears to be customary for
Free Software projects.
There isn't much difference, but in general we prefer to use the standard
functions. glibc provides reallocarray since version 2.26.
I moved explicit_bzero is configure test to the bottom, so that the two stdlib
functions are at the bottom.
gcc warns about unitialized memory access because it notices that ssize_t which
is < 0 could be cast to positive int value. We know that this can't really
happen because only -1 can be returned, but OTOH, in principle a large
*positive* value cannot be cast properly. This is unlikely too, since xattrs
cannot be too large, but it seems cleaner to just use a size_t to return the
value and avoid the cast altoghter. This makes the code simpler and gcc is
happy too.
The following warning goes away:

The first four lines are at debug level, so the user would only see that last
one usually, which is not very enlightening.
This now becomes:

We do more checks, which is good too.
Then it can be used in the asserts in logging functions without causing
infinite recursion. The error is just printed to stderr, it should be
good enough for the common case.
gcc-8 throws an error if it knows snprintf might truncate output and the
return value is ignored:

cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
Let's check all return values. This actually makes the code better, because there's
no point in trying to open a file when the name has been truncated, etc.
If log_do_header() was called with overly long parameters, it'd generate
improper output. Essentially, it'd be truncated at random point, in particular
missing a newline at the end, so it'd run with the next field, usually MESSAGE=.
log_do_header is called with parameters from compiled code (file name, lien
nubmer, etc), so in practice this was unlikely to ever be a problem, but it is
possible. In particular, if systemd was compiled from sources in some deeply
nested directory (which happens for example in mock and other build roots), the
filename could be very long.
As a safety measure, let's truncate all parameters to 256 bytes. So we have
5 fields which are 256 bytes (plus the field name prefix), and a few other
fields with fixed width. This must always fit in the 2048 byte buffer.
I don't think there's much gain in calculating the required length precisely,
since it's a lot of fields and a few bytes allocated on the stack don't matter.
log_dispatch_internal has only one caller where the extra_field/extra
params are not null: log_unit_full. When log_unit_full() was called,
when we got to log_dispatch_internal, our header would look like this:
PRIORITY=7
SYSLOG_FACILITY=3
CODE_FILE=../src/core/manager.c
CODE_LINE=2145
CODE_FUNC=manager_invoke_sigchld_event
USER_UNIT=gnome-terminal-server.service
65dffa7a3b984a6d9a46f0b8fb57710bUSER_INVOCATION_ID=
SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER=systemd
It took me a while to understand why I'm not seeing mangled messages in the
journal (after all, "" is a valid rvalue for log messages). The answer is that
journald rejects any field name which starts with a digit, and the MESSAGE_ID
that was used here starts with a digit. Hence, those lines would be silently
filtered out.
If a touchpad has MT axes only but not ABS_X/ABS_Y (DualShock 4 controller),
then we hit both the conditions is_touchpad and the later check for
!has_abs_axes here, assigning is_mouse and ID_INPUT_MOUSE later.
This is a bug, we historically only assigned either of of the pointing device
tags ID_INPUT_MOUSE/TOUCHPAD/JOYSTICK/TOUCHSCREEN, never multiple of them.
Note that we cannot just check for has_abs_axes and has_mt_coordinates because
the apple touch mouse has both. We really need to check if the device has
already been assigned something else.

The code had a gap. user@.service is a special case PAM session which does
not create a logind session. Let's remember to check for it.
Fixes#8021
This patch adds safe_atoux16 for parsing an unsigned hexadecimal 16bit int, and
uses that for parsing USB device and vendor IDs.
This fixes a compile error with gcc-8 because while we know that USB IDs are 2 bytes,
the compiler does not know that.
../src/udev/udev-builtin-hwdb.c:80:38: error: '%04X' directive output may be
truncated writing between 4 and 8 bytes into a region of size between 2 and 6
