These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary.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.
It does two things:
1. It derives the element size from the array argument type
2. It derives the right type for the function from the array argument
type
Using this macro call should make the invocations of qsort() quite a bit
safer.
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 is primarily preparation for a follow-up commit that adds a common
implementation of the other side of the reboot parameter file, i.e. the
code that reads the file and issues reboot() for it.
First, let's rename it to disable_coredumps(), as in the rest of our
codebase we spell it "coredump" rather than "core_dump", so let's stick
to that.
However, also log about failures to turn off core dumpling on LOG_DEBUG,
because debug logging is always a good idea.
It's a relatively small wrapper around safe_fork() now, hence let's move
it over, and make its signature even more alike. Also, set a different
process name for the polkit and askpw agents.
We don't have plural in the name of any other -util files and this
inconsistency trips me up every time I try to type this file name
from memory. "formats-util" is even hard to pronounce.
This adds support for a TasksMax=40% syntax for specifying values relative to
the system's configured maximum number of processes. This is useful in order to
neatly subdivide the available room for tasks within containers.
We currently have code to read and write files containing UUIDs at various
places. Unify this in id128-util.[ch], and move some other stuff there too.
The new files are located in src/libsystemd/sd-id128/ (instead of src/shared/),
because they are actually the backend of sd_id128_get_machine() and
sd_id128_get_boot().
In follow-up patches we can use this reduce the code in nspawn and
machine-id-setup by adopted the common implementation.
Always warn if something fails, and clarify that the involved utility functions
do so in their name.
Drop the REBOOT_PARAM_FILE macro. We don't do this for other flag file paths
like this, so don't do this for this one either. The path isn't configurable
anyway, hence let's make this easier to read by avoiding this one indirection.
Since glibc is moving away from implicitly including sys/sysmacros.h
all the time via sys/types.h, include the header directly in more
places. This seems to cover most makedev/major/minor usage.
ISO/IEC 9899:1999 §7.21.1/2 says:
Where an argument declared as size_t n specifies the length of the array
for a function, n can have the value zero on a call to that
function. Unless explicitly stated otherwise in the description of a
particular function in this subclause, pointer arguments on such a call
shall still have valid values, as described in 7.1.4.
In base64_append_width memcpy was called as memcpy(x, NULL, 0). GCC 4.9
started making use of this and assumes This worked fine under -O0, but
does something strange under -O3.
This patch fixes a bug in base64_append_width(), fixes a possible bug in
journal_file_append_entry_internal(), and makes use of the new function
to simplify the code in other places.
