Coverity was complaining in CID#1399407 that config->entries might be used
while NULL. Let's add an assert to make sure it's not.
Also, let's quit early if we have no entries to loop through. The code was
not incorrect, but it's cleaner to avoid any negative indices.
It seems that my EFI storage is corrupted. The kernel reports the file as present, but returns
an error when reading. Nevertheless, this shouldn't prevent me from reading the entry
list.
Fixes#11909.
Now only two operations are left. Let's just move this into the caller,
since it should make things simpler, clearer and shorter, in particular
as there's only a single user for this.
It's a simple wrapper around boot_entries_load_config(), but determines
the ESP/XBOOTLDR paths automatically at first. Also, it looks for a path
/run/boot-loader-entries/ and loads the entries from there if it
exists. This is supposed to be a hook for other boot loaders to make our
tools aware of their own entries.
Previously, bootctl would show boot loader entries discovered by the
boot loader which couldn't found locally separately in the output.
Let's move this code into bootspec.c, and beef it up a bit. This way we
can use it later on for logind, and correctly show automatically
discovered windows/macos entries too.
find_default_boot_entry() is only used by systemctl.c, and currently
handles one log message in the caller instead of the callee. Let's
simplify that and move it over, too
Let's add a new function that checks whether some directory is the
top-level directory inside an fs, splitting out the code for this from
verify_esp().
While we are at it, let's slightly improve the code, so that we can
correctly work if we have no priviliges but the ESP is mounted
unaccessible: if we can't stat() the path "$ESP/.." then manually remove
the last component of $ESP and check that instead. Which is very similar
in behaviour, and hopefully good enough in the unprivileged case.
udev metadata access works unprivileged, which the blkid stuff doesn't
(as that needs raw device node access). Hence let's use udev if we lack
privs, and raw device access only if root.
This 'root' field contains the root path of the partition we found the
snippet in. The 'kernel', 'initrd', 'efi', … fields are relative to this
path.
This becomes particularly useful later when we add support for loading
snippets from both the ESP and XBOOTLDR, but already simplifies the code
for us a bit in systemctl.
Ideally, coccinelle would strip unnecessary braces too. But I do not see any
option in coccinelle for this, so instead, I edited the patch text using
search&replace to remove the braces. Unfortunately this is not fully automatic,
in particular it didn't deal well with if-else-if-else blocks and ifdefs, so
there is an increased likelikehood be some bugs in such spots.
I also removed part of the patch that coccinelle generated for udev, where we
returns -1 for failure. This should be fixed independently.
let's add an env var for this, as this really shouldn't be a top-level
feature, as it turning off the validity checks certainly isn't
advisable.
Fixes: #4925
boot_loader_read_conf(), boot_entries_find(), boot_entries_load_config()
all log their errors internally, hence no need to log a second or third
time about the same error when they return.
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.
Previously we were a bit sloppy with the index and size types of arrays,
we'd regularly use unsigned. While I don't think this ever resulted in
real issues I think we should be more careful there and follow a
stricter regime: unless there's a strong reason not to use size_t for
array sizes and indexes, size_t it should be. Any allocations we do
ultimately will use size_t anyway, and converting forth and back between
unsigned and size_t will always be a source of problems.
Note that on 32bit machines "unsigned" and "size_t" are equivalent, and
on 64bit machines our arrays shouldn't grow that large anyway, and if
they do we have a problem, however that kind of overly large allocation
we have protections for usually, but for overflows we do not have that
so much, hence let's add it.
So yeah, it's a story of the current code being already "good enough",
but I think some extra type hygiene is better.
This patch tries to be comprehensive, but it probably isn't and I missed
a few cases. But I guess we can cover that later as we notice it. Among
smaller fixes, this changes:
1. strv_length()' return type becomes size_t
2. the unit file changes array size becomes size_t
3. DNS answer and query array sizes become size_t

This drops a good number of type-specific _cleanup_ macros, and patches
all users to just use the generic ones.
In most recent code we abstained from defining type-specific macros, and
this basically removes all those added already, with the exception of
the really low-level ones.
Having explicit macros for this is not too useful, as the expression
without the extra macro is generally just 2ch wider. We should generally
emphesize generic code, unless there are really good reasons for
specific code, hence let's follow this in this case too.
Note that _cleanup_free_ and similar really low-level, libc'ish, Linux
API'ish macros continue to be defined, only the really high-level OO
ones are dropped. From now on this should really be the rule: for really
low-level stuff, such as memory allocation, fd handling and so one, go
ahead and define explicit per-type macros, but for high-level, specific
program code, just use the generic _cleanup_() macro directly, in order
to keep things simple and as readable as possible for the uninitiated.
Note that before this patch some of the APIs (notable libudev ones) were
already used with the high-level macros at some places and with the
generic _cleanup_ macro at others. With this patch we hence unify on the
latter.
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.
