This splits out a bunch of functions from fileio.c that have to do with
temporary files. Simply to make the header files a bit shorter, and to
group things more nicely.
No code changes, just some rearranging of source files.
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.
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.
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.
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary.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.
The function is similar to path_kill_slashes() but also removes
initial './', trailing '/.', and '/./' in the path.
When the second argument of path_simplify() is false, then it
behaves as the same as path_kill_slashes(). Hence, this also
replaces path_kill_slashes() with path_simplify().
Most our other parsing functions do this, let's do this here too,
internally we accept that anyway. Also, the closely related
load_env_file() and load_env_file_pairs() also do this, so let's be
systematic.
A regression was introduced that caused the mtime of /etc/.updated
and /var/.updated to be the current time when systemd-update-done
ran instead of being copied from /usr.
This was nearly fixed, but due to fflush being called after mtime
was carefully set, it was overwritten with the current time.
Regression introduced in 872c403963
A fix was just missed in 39c38d773fFixes#8806
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 macro will read a pointer of any type, return it, and set the
pointer to NULL. This is useful as an explicit concept of passing
ownership of a memory area between pointers.
This takes inspiration from Rust:
https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/option/enum.Option.html#method.take
and was suggested by Alan Jenkins (@sourcejedi).
It drops ~160 lines of code from our codebase, which makes me like it.
Also, I think it clarifies passing of ownership, and thus helps
readability a bit (at least for the initiated who know the new macro)
Let's make use this at various places we call fsync(), to make things
fully reliable, as the kernel devs suggest to first fsync() files and
then fsync() the directories they are located in.
If read_line() returns ENOBFUS this means the line was overly long. When
we use this for checking whether an executable is a script, then this
shouldn't be propagated as-is, but simply as "this is not a script".
This tweaks write_string_stream_ts() in one minor way: when stdio
buffering has been turned off, let's append the newline we shall append
to the buffer we write ourselves so that the kernel only gets one
syscall for the result. When buffering is enabled stdio will take care
of that anyway.
Follow-up for #7750.
These helper calls are potentially called often, and allocate FILE*
objects internally for a very short period of time, let's turn off
locking for them too.
fputs() writes only first 2048 bytes and fails
to write to /proc when values are larger than that.
This patch adds a new flag to WriteStringFileFlags
that make it possible to disable the buffer under
specific cases.
Our CODING_STYLE suggests not comparing with NULL, but relying on C's
downgrade-to-bool feature for that. Fix up some code to match these
guidelines. (This is not comprehensive, the coccinelle output for this
is unfortunately kinda borked)
_unused_ means "the variable is meant to be possible unused and gcc
will not generate a warning about it", which is exactly what we need here,
since we're only declaring it for the side effect of _cleanup_.
Let's read one byte more than the file size we read from stat() on the
first fread() invocation. That way, the first read() will already be
short and indicate eof to fread().
This is a minor optimization, and replaces #3908.
