Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 5f2258affc many: more checks for pointer access without NULL check (#41370)
This is a followup for https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/41096
that makes more subsystems pass the new `check-pointer-deref` coccinelle
checks. See the individual commits.

My plan is to do a few more of these PRs until we have it all covered. I
could also do it in a single very big PR but I'm worried about a)
conflicts b) that its just too big/annoying to review. Only 7 dirs left
but some (like src/basic) are quite big (~50k loc) so those PRs will be
a bit bigger.

Michael Vogt bf2d68433d coccinelle: generalize pidref_is_set() to =~ _is_set()
Our coccinelle/check-pointer-deref.cocci checker has a special

generalize this and catch the following:
- iovec_is_set
- sd_dhcp_duid_is_set

Lennart Poettering 6a4a4f0302 bootspec: honour profile number when sorting properly
This corrects sorting of menu entries regarding profile numbers:

1. If the profile number is unset, let's treat this identical to profile
   0, when ordering stuff, because an item with no profile is
   conceptually the same as an item with only a profile 0.

2. Let's take the profile number into account also if sort keys are
   used. This was makes profiles work sensibly in type 1 entries, via
   the recently added "profile" stanza.

Lennart Poettering 3d4e3c1a5e boot: properly track internal menu entries
When showing the list of menu entries via "p", the "internal call:"
field was showing nonsense, since

Fix that by adding a proper entry type for "internal" menu items such as
reboot/firmware/poweroff, and then check for that.

With this in place all entries now have a loader type that makes sense
and describes precisely what an entry is about.

Michael Vogt 777d9c10ad coccinelle: add checks for pointer access without NULL check
The fix in 8f1751a111 made me wonder if we could automatically detect
when pointers are accessed but when this might not be safe. Systemd
is already using a lot of `assert(dst)` and this change now forces
us to use them.

So this commit (ab)uses coccinelle to flag any pointer parameter
dereference not preceded by assert(param), ASSERT_PTR(param), or an
explicit NULL check. It adds integration into meson as a new "coccinelle"
test suite (just like clang-tidy) and is run in CI. The check is not
perfect but seems a reasonable heuristic.

For this RFC commit it is scoped to a subset, it excludes 25 dirs right
now and includes around 100. About 300 warnings left. Busywork that I am
happy to do if there is agreement that it is worth it.

With this in place we would have caught the bug from 8f1751a111 in CI:
```

diff -u -p systemd/src/boot/measure.c /tmp/nothing/measure.c

```

This also adds a new POINTER_MAY_BE_NULL() for the cases when the
called function will do the NULL check (like `iovec_is_set()`).

Lennart Poettering 6dc6b48ec9 random-seed: when we have a reasonable RNG then create random seed file if missing
Previously we'd never write the ESP random seed file (or initialize the
random seed EFI table) if it didn't already exist. Let's adjust this a
bit, and also create it fresh if we have a "good" random source, i.e. if
the EFI table already existed or if the RNG protocol is implemented by
EFI.

This is useful as it increases the chance the random seed table is
valid, and we can use it as source for randomness in later stages.

Using __has_attribute was suggested, but with gcc-11.5.0-14.el9.x86_64,
__has__attribute(__retain__) is true, but we get a warning when the
attribute is actually used.

Hans de Goede f8ed94ea99 boot: Make missing CHID DTB match a debug message instead of an error
With distributions like Ubuntu and Fedora using systemd-stub to auto load
DTB's on Windows on ARM laptops, the CHID DTB match failing is expected
when that same UKI is instead booted on an ARM SystemReady system where
no DTB is necessary.

In the ARM SystemReady case showing a big red error message is undesirable
and leads to confused users and bug-reports. Lower the message to debug
level when the status is EFI_NOT_FOUND to avoid these false positive error
messages.

r-vdp 450e0dce02 systemd-boot: add a preferred setting that's similar to default but avoids booting known-bad entries
Motivation:
Currently, when setting the default boot pattern, boot assessment status
is not taken into account. This means that with boot assessment enabled,
when an explicit boot entry is configured as the default entry using an
EFI var, as is common for instance in A/B boot schemes, the configured
entry will be booted indefinitly, regardless of the entry's boot
assessment status.
In order to allow for this use case in combination with boot assessment,
we introduce a new `preferred` keyword, both in the config file and in the
bootctl CLI, that acts very similar to the existing `default` keyword but
takes boot assessment into account and never selects any entries that
have been marked as bad.
If the preferred pattern does not resolve to any bootable entry, and a
default pattern is also specified, then the default pattern will be
considered next, and we may then still select a known-bad entry to be
booted.

Yu Watanabe 78a61335e3 boot: Fix UKI boot for kernels with non-zero ImageBase (#40429)
The current code incorrectly subtracts ImageBase from section
VirtualAddress values when loading sections into memory. This is based
on a misunderstanding of the PE specification.

VirtualAddress in section headers is the address of the first byte of
the section relative to the image base when the section is loaded into
memory. In other words, VirtualAddress is already an RVA measured from
the image base, it is definitely NOT an absolute address that needs to
be adjusted.

So when loading a PE image into a newly allocated buffer, sections
should be copied to buffer + VirtualAddress, regardless of what
ImageBase says. The ImageBase field merely indicates the *preferred*
load address, it does not affect how section RVAs are interpreted.

This happens to not cause issues when ImageBase was 0 (since
VirtualAddress - 0 = VirtualAddress), which is why this bug went
undetected on modern kernels. However, it fails with kernels that have
non-zero ImageBase values.

So let's remove the nonsensical VirtualAddress < ImageBase check, and
remove the ImageBase subtractions from section loading offsets. This
lets all kernel UKIs work properly again.

Yu Watanabe 6d0e8271b4 boot: fix buffer alignment when doing block I/O (#40465)
UEFI Block I/O Protocol has `Media->IoAlign` field dictating the minimum
alignment for I/O buffer. It's quite surprising this has been lingering
here unnoticed for years, seems like most UEFI implementations have
small or no alignment requirements. U-Boot is not the case here, and
requires at least 512 byte alignment, hence attempt to read GPT
partition table fail and in effect systemd-boot can not find XBOOTLDR
partition.

These patches allow to boot from XBOOTLDR partition on U-Boot - tested
with latest systemd revision and U-Boot master
(`8de6e8f8a076d2c9b6d38d8563db135c167077ec`) on x64 and ARM32, of which
both are failing without the patch.

Also fixes Bitlocker probing logic, which is the only other place where
raw block I/O is used, however this is untested.
