And do not use it in the IMPORT{cmdline} udev code. Wherever we expose
direct interfaces to check the kernel cmdline, let's not consult our
systemd-specific EFI variable, but strictly use the actual kernel
variable, because that's what we claim we do. i.e. it's fine to use the
EFI variable for our own settings, but for the generic APIs to the
kernel cmdline we should not use it.
Specifically, this applies to IMPORT{cmdline} and
ConditionKernelCommandLine=. In the latter case we weren#t checking the
EFI variable anyway, hence let's do the same for the udev case, too.
Fixes: #15739
It annoyed me for quite a while that running "journalctl --file=…" on a
file that is not readable failed with a "File not found" error instead
of a permission error. Let's fix that.
We make this work by using the GLOB_NOCHECK flag for glob() which means
that files are not accessible will be returned in the array as they are
instead of being filtered away. This then means that our later attemps
to open the files will fail cleanly with a good error message.
kernel 5.6 added support for a new flag for getrandom(): GRND_INSECURE.
If we set it we can get some random data out of the kernel random pool,
even if it is not yet initializated. This is great for us to initialize
hash table seeds and such, where it is OK if they are crap initially. We
used RDRAND for these cases so far, but RDRAND is only available on
newer CPUs and some archs. Let's now use GRND_INSECURE for these cases
as well, which means we won't needlessly delay boot anymore even on
archs/CPUs that do not have RDRAND.
Of course we never set this flag when generating crypto keys or uuids.
Which makes it different from RDRAND for us (and is the reason I think
we should keep explicit RDRAND support in): RDRAND we don't trust enough
for crypto keys. But we do trust it enough for UUIDs.
As described in #15603, it is a fairly common setup to use a fqdn as the
configured hostname. But it is often convenient to use just the actual
hostname, i.e. until the first dot. This adds support in tmpfiles, sysusers,
and unit files for %l which expands to that.
Fixes#15603.
This new helper checks whether the specified locale is installed. It's
distinct from locale_is_valid() which just superficially checks if a
string looks like something that could be a valid locale.
Heavily inspired by @jsynacek's #13964.
