Some guests (ARM, AArch64, x86-RHEL) have 'KVM' in the product name.
Look for that first in order to more precisely report "kvm" when
detecting a QEMU/KVM guest. Without this patch we report "qemu",
even if KVM acceleration is in use on ARM/AArch64 guests.
I've only tested a backported version of this and the previous
patch on an AArch64 guest (which worked). Of course it would be
nice to get regression testing on all guest types that depend on
dmi done.
ARM/AArch64 guests now have SMBIOS tables populated (when boot
with a late enough QEMU and a late enough AAVMF is used as the
bootloader). Furthermore, when booting ARM/AArch64 guests with
ACPI, the DT detection obviously no longer works, so we need
dmi detection.
afaict, this will fix a regression caused by commit 75f86906c5.
Where we used to report "kvm" before that patch, without this patch,
we would only report "qemu". The reason is because cpuid detection
must come before dmi detection. Also, both can safely come before
other xen heuristics. Untested.
memory_erase() so far just called memset(), which the compiler might
optimize away under certain conditions if it feels there's benefit in
it. C11 knows a new memset_s() call that is like memset(), but may not
be optimized away. Ideally, we'd just use that call, but glibc currently
does not support it. Hence, implement our own simplistic version of it.
We use a GCC pragma to turn off optimization for this call, and also use
the "volatile" keyword on the pointers to ensure that gcc will use the
pointers as-is. According to a variety of internet sources, either one
does the trick. However, there are also reports that at least the
volatile thing isn't fully correct, hence let's add some snake oil and
employ both techniques.

This adds support for a new environment variable
SYSTEMCTL_INSTALL_CLIENT_SIDE, that ensures that systemctl executes
install operations client-side instead of passing them to PID1. This is
useful in debugging situations, but even beyond that. However, we don't
want to make it official API, hence let's just make it an undocumented
environment variable.
Similar, add a second variable, SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_SYSV which allows
skipping the SysV chkconfig fall-back if set. This is useful for similar
reasons, and exposed as undocumented as environment variable for similar
reasons, too.
Tested CPUAffinity ranges on both a service unit and in system.conf and
confirmed they work as expected (by inspecting /proc/PID/status, for the
main pid of the service and for pid 1). Also mixed ranges with both
spaces, commas, trailing commas and spaces.
Added new tests to increase coverage of ranges and prevent regressions.
Tested CPUAffinity settings on both a service unit and in system.conf
and confirmed they work as expected.
Added a new test to confirm that trailing commas and spaces work and to
prevent any regressions in that area.
The files are named too generically, so that they might conflict with
the upstream project headers. Hence, let's add a "-util" suffix, to
clarify that this are just our utility headers and not any official
upstream headers.
