The way this is used drifted a bit from the original intent. Let's update
the description and add some examples to inspire people to texts that look
less bad during initial boot.
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.
Kernel 4.19 supports deferred console takeover [0], i.e., fbcon will
take over the console only when the first text is displayed on the
console. Before that event, only the dummy console is active. Our
currently udev rules call systemd-vconsole on every vtcon except for
dummy consoles. Thus the exception for dummy consoles prevents a call
to systemd-vconsole when no text is displayed on the console, and as a
consequence, the keymap will not be set in that case. This is wrong and
leads to issues when keyboard input is expected without text on the
console, e.g., when a graphical password prompt is used in the boot
process.
This reverts commit 6b169c13ec,
which introduced the exception for dummy devices to save unnecessary
udev calls.
Fixes#10826.

Commit 100d5f6ee6 (user-util: add new wrappers for [...] database
files), ammended by commit 4f07ffa8f5 (Use #if instead of #ifdef for
ENABLE_GSHADOW) moved code from sysuser to basic/user-util.
In doing so, the combination of both commits properly propagated the
ENABLE_GSHADOW conditions around the function manipulating gshadow, but
they forgot to protect the inclusion of the gshadow.h header.
Fix that to be able to build on C libraries that do not provide gshadow
(e.g. uClibc-ng, where it does not exist.)
This reverts 5fdf2d51c2, except for one improved
log message.
Fixes#10613.
Checking if resume= is configured is a good idea, but it turns out we cannot do
it reliably:
- the code only supported boot options with sd-boot, and it's not very widely
used. This means that for most systemd we could only check the current
commandline, not the next one.
- Various systems resume without, e.g. Debian has
/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume in the initramfs.
Making those checks better would be possible with enough effort, but there'll
be always new systems that boot in a slightly different way and we would need
to keep adding new cases. Longer term, we want to rely on autodetecting the
resume partition, and then checks like this will not be necessary at all. It is
quite clear from the number of bug reports that the number of poeple impacted
by this is quite high now, so let's just drop this.
When no sessions are registered on a given VT (anymore), we should always let
the kernel processes VT switching (instead of simply emitting a warning)
otherwise the requests sent by the kernel are simply ignored making the VT
switch requested by users simply impossible.
Even if it shouldn't happen, this case was encountered in issue #9754, so
better to be safe than sorry.
Basically when a session ends, logind notices and restores VT_AUTO so the
kernel takes back VT-switching over.
logind achieves that by watching the process that took control of the session
(via the "TakeControl" D-Bus method), aka "the watched process", which can
be different from the one that initially opened the VT aka "the terminal
controlling process".
In this case the terminal controlling process can exit after the watched one
did and while logind is restoring the VT.
Even if logind took care to re-open the VT in case the VT was already in HUP
state, it wasn't enough because the terminal controlling process could have
exited right after, leaving the VT in HUP state and in VT_PROCESS mode making
further VT-switching impossible.
This patch fixes this situation by forcing logind to become the terminal
controlling process.
Fixes: #9754.
systemd already sets the umask (see e3b8d0637d). When
running under systemd, we don't need to set it. And when *not* running under
systemd, for example during development, there is no reason to override the user
config. Let's just drop those calls.
$ git grep -e 'umask\(' -l 'src/*generator*' |xargs perl -i -0pe 's|^[^\n]*umask\([^\n]+\n\n||gms'
We keep a mark whether a single-shot timer was triggered in the caller's
variable initial. When such a timer elapses while we are
serializing/deserializing the inner state, we consider the timer
incorrectly as elapsed and don't trigger it later.
This patch exploits last_trigger timestamp that we already serialize,
hence we can eliminate the argument initial completely.
