The function takes a pointer to a random block of memory and
the length of that block. It shouldn't crash every time it sees
a zero byte at the beginning there.
This should help the dev-kmsg fuzzer to keep going.
With gcc-7.1.1-3.fc26.aarch64:
../src/basic/json.c: In function ‘json_format’:
../src/basic/json.c:1409:40: warning: comparison is always true due to limited range of data type [-Wtype-limits]
if (*q >= 0 && *q < ' ')
^~
../src/basic/json.c: In function ‘inc_lines_columns’:
../src/basic/json.c:1762:31: warning: comparison is always true due to limited range of data type [-Wtype-limits]
} else if (*s >= 0 && *s < 127) /* Process ASCII chars quickly */
^~
Cast to (signed char) silences the warning, but a cast to (int) for some reason
doesn't.
Now that we don't (mis-)use the env file parser to parse kernel command
lines there's no need anymore to override the used newline character
set. Let's hence drop the argument and just "\n\r" always. This nicely
simplifies our code.
This introduces a wrapper around extrac_first_word() called
proc_cmdline_extract_first(), which suppresses "rd." parameters
depending on the specified calls.
This allows us to share more code between proc_cmdline_parse_given() and
proc_cmdline_get_key(), and makes it easier to reuse this logic for
other purposes.
Normally, we want to immediately quit on ^C. But when we are running under
less, people may set SYSTEMD_LESS without K, in which case they can use ^C to
communicate with less, and e.g. start and stop following input.
Fixes#6405.
All users of the macro (except for one, in serialize.c), use the macro in
connection with read_line(), so they must include fileio.h. Let's not play
libc games and require multiple header file to be included for the most common
use of a function.
The removal of def.h includes is not exact. I mostly went over the commits that
switch over to use read_line() and add def.h at the same time and reverted the
addition of def.h in those files.
Pretty much everything uses just the first argument, and this doesn't make this
common pattern more complicated, but makes it simpler to pass multiple options.
This makes DEPTH_MAX lower value, as test-json fails with stack
overflow.
Note that the test can pass with 8k, but for safety, here set to 4k.
Fixes#10738.
This helper is useful to ensure pidns/userns joining is properly
executed (as that requires a fork after the setns()). This is
particularly important when it comes to /proc/self/ access or
SCM_CREDENTIALS, but is generally the safer mode of operation.
Rename rdrand64 to rdrand, and switch from uint64_t to unsigned long.
This produces code that will compile/assemble on both x86-64 and x86-32.
This could be useful when running a 32-bit copy of systemd on a modern
Intel processor.
RDRAND is inherently arch-specific, so relying on the compiler-defined
'long' type seems reasonable.
We only use this when we don't require the best randomness. The primary
usecase for this is UUID generation, as this means we don't drain
randomness from the kernel pool for them. Since UUIDs are usually not
secrets RDRAND should be goot enough for them to avoid real-life
collisions.
Originally, the high_quality_required boolean argument controlled two
things: whether to extend any random data we successfully read with
pseudo-random data, and whether to return -ENODATA if we couldn't read
any data at all.
The boolean got replaced by RANDOM_EXTEND_WITH_PSEUDO, but this name
doesn't really cover the second part nicely. Moreover hiding both
changes of behaviour under a single flag is confusing. Hence, let's
split this part off under a new flag, and use it from random_bytes().
This should normally not happen, but given that the man page suggests
something about this in the context of interruption, let's handle this
and propagate an I/O error.
It's more descriptive, since we also have a function random_bytes()
which sounds very similar.
Also rename pseudorandom_bytes() to pseudo_random_bytes(). This way the
two functions are nicely systematic, one returning genuine random bytes
and the other pseudo random ones.
It's cheap to get RDRAND and given that srand() is anyway not really
useful for trusted randomness let's use RDRAND for it, after all we have
all the hard work for that already in place.
