It'll be out this week. We can't update the man pages before it is realeased,
but we can use it for mkosi builds and do some very late testing.
Also, use filepath specification for /bin/pkg-config. We need it for meson, and
meson calls it directly by this path. pkgconfig is a virtual Provides on
pkgconf-pkg-config, and the indirection here just obfuscates things with no
benefit.
Add it explicitly for centos too. (I think it is pulled in by packages which
contain pkg-config modules anyway, but it's better to be explicit).
The cmd(3) man page says about CMSG_DATA():
> The pointer returned cannot be assumed to be suitably aligned for
> accessing arbitrary payload data types. Applications should not cast
> it to a pointer type matching the payload, but should instead use
> memcpy(3) to copy data to or from a suitably declared object.
Hence, if we want to use unaligned data in cmsg, we need to copy it
before use. That's typically important for reading timestamps in
RISCV32, as the time_t is 64bit and size_t is 32bit on the system.
This removes remaining hardcoded occurences of `/sbin/fsck`, and instead
uses `find_executable` to find `fsck`.
We also use `fsck_exists_for_fstype` to check for the `fsck.*`
executable, which also checks in `$PATH`, so it's fair to assume fsck
itself is also available.
The ignore directive specifies to not do anything with the given
unit and leave existing configuration intact. This allows distributions
to gradually adopt preset files by shipping a ignore * preset file.
Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem. We had a list of PCRs in the
man page which was already half out-of-date. Instead, link to web page with the
"authoritative" list. Here, drop the descriptions of what shim and grub do. Instead,
just give some short descriptions and mention what systemd components do.
systemd-pcrmachine.service and systemd-pcrfs@.service are now mentioned too.
https://github.com/uapi-group/specifications/commit/d0e590b1e2648e76ece66157ceade3f45b165b14
extended the table in the specs repo.
https://github.com/uapi-group/specifications/pull/59 adds some more text there
too.
Also, rework the recommendation: hint that PCR 11 is useful, and recommend
binding to policy signatures instead of direct PCR values. This new text is
intentionally vague: doing this correctly is hard, but let's at least not imply
that just binding to PCR 7 is useful in any way.
Also, change "string alias" to "name" in discussion of PCR names.

strstrafter() is like strstr() but returns a pointer to the first
character *after* the found substring, not on the substring itself.
Quite often this is what we actually want.
Inspired by #27267 I think it makes sense to add a helper for this,
to avoid the potentially fragile manual pointer increment afterwards.
The overflow check was hosed in two ways: overflows in C are undefined,
hence gcc was free to just optimize the whole thing away. We need to
catch overflows before we run into them, not after.
It checked for an overflow against size_t, but the field we need to
write this in is unsigned. i.e. typically 32bit rather than 64bit. Hence
check for the right maximum.
(The whole check is paranoia anyway, the kernel really shouldn't return
values that would induce an overflow, but you never know, the syscall
turned out to be problematic in so many other ways, hence let's stick to
this.)
The concept of a "mount" is a local one, hence there's no point in going
to the network to retrieve mnt_id or STATX_ATTR_MOUNT_ROOT. Hence set
AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC so that the call will not go to the network ever, and
risk deadlocking on that.
Just some extra safety.
When CHASE_MKDIR_0755 is specified without CHASE_NONEXISTENT and
CHASE_PARENT, then chase() succeeds only when the file specified by
the path already exists, and in that case, chase() does not create
any parent directories, and CHASE_MKDIR_0755 is meaningless.
Let's mention that CHASE_MKDIR_0755 needs to be specified with
CHASE_NONEXISTENT or CHASE_PARENT, and adds a assertion about that.
