We used both, in fact "Devicetree" was more common. But we have a general rule
that we capitalize all words in names and also we have a DeviceTree=
configuration setting, which we cannot change. If we use two different
spelllings, this will make it harder for people to use the correct one in
config files. So use the "DeviceTree" spelling everywhere.
We often used a pattern like if (!FLAGS_SET(flags, SD_JSON_FORMAT_OFF)),
which is rather verbose and also contains a double negative, which we try
to avoid. Add a little helper to avoid an explicit bit check.
This change clarifies an aditional thing: in some cases we treated
SD_JSON_FORMAT_OFF as a flag (flags & SD_JSON_FORMAT_OFF), while in other cases
we treated it as an independent enum value (flags == SD_JSON_FORMAT_OFF).
In the first form, flags like SD_JSON_FORMAT_SSE do _not_ turn the json
output on, while in the second form they do. Let's use the first form
everywhere.
No functional change intended.
Initially I wasn't sure if this helper should be made public or just internal,
but it seems such a common pattern that if we expose the flags, we might just
as well expose it too, to make life easier for any consumers.
Given that we have the LabelOps abstraction these days, we can teach
write_string_file() to use it, which means we can get rid of
fileio-label.[ch] as a separate concept.
(The only reason that fileio-label.[ch] exists independently of
fileio.[ch] was that the former linekd to libselinux potentially, and
thus had to be in src/shared/ while the other always was in src/basic/.
But the LabelOps vtable provides us with a nice work-around)
We typically want to deal in usec_t, hence let's change the prototype
accordingly, and do proper range checks. Also, make sure are not
confused by negative times.
Do something similar for mktime_or_timegm().
This is a more comprehensive alternative to #34065

It's time. sd-json was already done earlier in this cycle, let's now
make sd-varlink public too.
This is mostly just a search/replace job of epical proportions.
I left some functions internal (mostly IDL handling), and I turned some
static inline calls into regular calls.
nscd is known to be racy [1] and it was already deprecated and later dropped in
Fedora a while back [1,2]. We don't need to support obsolete stuff in systemd,
and the cache in systemd-resolved provides a better solution anyway.
We announced the plan to drop nscd in d44934f378.

The option is kept as a stub without any effect to make the transition easier.
If people want they should be able to turn on this flag, to allow
interactive auth. Let's make sure this actually works. i.e. add it to
the introspection data and don't refuse the parameter in Describe().
(note the varlink handling already does parameter validation through
varlink_dispatch(), hence we can just drop any further validation)
The logic of the Describe() call was supposed to be: if we can acquire
the PK priv to get the product UUID then let's return the product UUID,
and if we cannot then return the data without it.
This didn't work however, since the polkit varlink glue would
immediately propagate the error it acquired from polkit its own client.
Let's turn this off, optionally, so that hostnamed can handle this
nicely.
This is preparation for making our Varlink API a public API. Since our
Varlink API is built on top of our JSON API we need to make that public
first (it's a nice API, but JSON APIs there are already enough, this is
purely about the Varlink angle).
I made most of the json.h APIs public, and just placed them in
sd-json.h. Sometimes I wasn't so sure however, since the underlying data
structures would have to be made public too. If in doubt I didn#t risk
it, and moved the relevant API to src/libsystemd/sd-json/json-util.h
instead (without any sd_* symbol prefixes).
This is mostly a giant search/replace patch.
This adds for both the D-Bus and the Varlink flavours of our polkit
client api a flags parameter. And then folds the "bool interactive" flag
that the D-Bus version so far had, into a flag, and also adds support
for it in the Varlink API.
Since this means the Varlink API gained another parameter, let's do what
we already did for the D-Bus API and add a _full() version of the API
that has the flags and the good_uid parameter, and one without both.
Old versions of hostnamed used to propagate ENODEV/ENOENT as-is. Bad
idea. This was fixed in 171ddae1a1, but
let's handle this gracefully in hostnamectl.
For the very similar case of the product UUID we have its own error
BUS_ERROR_NO_PRODUCT_UUID if we have no UUID. Let's mirror this for the
hardware serial, and expose the same, to keep things nicely symmteric.
We already support -j as shortcut for JSON mode in various tools. Let's
add one more. We probably should add this systematically (at least where
it doesn't conflict with an existing -j switch with other purpose). But
I am too lazy to add that now.
There's some appetite to have the full os-release/machine-info data
exposed by hostnamed.
let's do so in the Describe() method and via Varlink. It's trivial after
all.
Inspired by: #18649
that way clients can distinguish whether there is no cid or whether
hostnamed doesn't support it nicely, by just looking if the prop exists
(but is null) or not.
This is similar how we already handle all other props in the JSON
record.
This simplifies bus_verify_polkit_async() and related calls quite a bit:
1. This removes any support for authentication-by-Linux-capability. This
is ultimately a kdbus leftover: with classic AF_UNIX transports we
cannot authenticate by capabilities securely (because we cannot
acquire it from the peer without races), hence we never actually did.
Since the necessary kernel work didn't materialize in the last 10y,
and is unlikely to be added, let's just kill this context. We cannot
quite remove the caps stuff from sd-bus for API compat, but for our
polkit logic let's kill it.
2. The "good_uid" and "interactive" params are only necessary in very
few cases, hence let's move them to a new call
bus_verify_polkit_async_full() and make bus_verify_polkit_async() a
wrapper around it without those two parameters.
This also fixes a bunch of wrong uses of the "interactive" bool. The
bool makes no sense today as the ALLOW_INTERACTIVE_AUTHORIZATION field
in the D-Bus message header replaces it fully. We only need it to
implement method calls we introduced prior to that header field becoming
available in D-Bus. And it should only be used on such old method calls,
and otherwise always be set to false.
This does not change behaviour in any way. Just simplifies stuff.
Fixes: #21586
This converts the date into a relative timespan from the current time
on, and outputs it. It marks it yellow if older than two years, since
old firmware is probably a security risk. We don't make it red, since we
don't know though.
safe_atou() by default determines the base from the prefix 0x, 0b, 0o
and for compat with just 0 for octal. This is not what we want here,
since the date components are padded with zeroes yet still decimal.
Hence force decimal parsing (and while we are at it, prohibit a couple
of unexpected decorations).
WIthout this we'd fail to parse any the 8th and 9th day of each months, as
well aus aug and september of every year, because these look like octal
numbers but cannot actually parsed as such.
Let's change the testcase to check for a date that exposes this
bheaviour.
By default, label_ops is initialized with a NULL pointer which translates
to noop labelling operations. In mac_selinux_init() and the new mac_smack_init(),
we initialize label_ops with a MAC specific LabelOps pointer.
We also introduce mac_init() to initialize any configured MACs and replace all
usages of mac_selinux_init() with mac_init().
In various tools and services we have a per-system and per-user concept.
So far we sometimes used a boolean indicating whether we are in system
mode, or a reversed boolean indicating whether we are in user mode, or
the LookupScope enum used by the lookup path logic.
Let's address that, in introduce a common enum for this, we can use all
across the board.
This is mostly just search/replace, no actual code changes.
