Let's raise our supported baseline a bit: CLOCK_BOOTTIME started to work
with timerfd in kernel 3.15 (i.e. back in 2014), let's require support
for it now.
This will raise our baseline only modestly from 3.13 → 3.15.
Same idea as 03677889f0.
No functional change intended. The type of the iterator is generally changed to
be 'const char*' instead of 'char*'. Despite the type commonly used, modifying
the string was not allowed.
I adjusted the naming of some short variables for clarity and reduced the scope
of some variable declarations in code that was being touched anyway.
When sorting paths it actually matters to use the right comparison
function. Example:
```
a/x
a-b/y
a_/z
```
I think people would probably expect this:
```
a/x
a-b/y
a_a/z
```
but if you use strcmp() instead of path_compare() you'd instead get:
```
a-b/y
a/x
a_a/z
```
That's because `/` is between `-` and `a` in the ascii table. I think
that's quite confusing, and we shouldn#t order that way hence.

and devices are sorted when the iteration started.
Previously, devices added by udev_enumerate_add_syspath() ->
device_enumerator_add_device() are not sorted. This fixes the issue.
We shouldn't auto-disable event sources we create in "floating" mode.
Hence don#t use the disabling destructor for event sources.
Given that noone else has access to this event source we just allocated
anyway there's no point in explicitly disabling it before freeing it.
Follow-up for ec75e8e07a
We so far had some magic logic in place that files we open for write
with size zero are freshly created. That of course is a bogus
assumption, in particular as this code deals with corrupted file systems
which oftentimes contain zero size inodes from left-over runs.
Let's fix this properly, and actually let the kernel tell us whether it
create the file or not.
We basically had the same code in three places. Let's unify it in a
common helper function.
event_add_time_change() might be something we should add to the official
sd-event API sooner or later, given its general usefulness.
/dev/urandom is seeded with RDRAND. Calling genuine_random_bytes(...,
..., 0) will use /dev/urandom as a last resort. Hence, we gain nothing
here by having our own RDRAND wrapper, because /dev/urandom already is
based on RDRAND output, even before /dev/urandom has fully initialized.
Furthermore, RDRAND is not actually fast! And on each successive
generation of new x86 CPUs, from both AMD and Intel, it just gets
slower.
This commit simplifies things by just using /dev/urandom in cases where
we before might use RDRAND, since /dev/urandom will always have RDRAND
mixed in as part of it.
And above where I say "/dev/urandom", what I actually mean is
GRND_INSECURE, which is the same thing but won't generate warnings in
dmesg.
A description of SD_BUS_VTABLE_CAPABILITY is added, and the discussion
on SD_BUS_VTABLE_UNPRIVILEGED in expanded. I think it would be nice
to add longer description of how access is checked (maybe in sd-bus(3)),
but I'm leaving that for later. I think the text that was added here
describes everything, even if tersely.
Fixes#21882.
The data type off_t can be 64 on 32 bit systems if they have large
file support. Since mmap expects a size_t with 32 bits as second
argument truncation could occur. At worst these huge files could
lead to mmaps smaller than the previous check for small files.
This in turn shouldn't have a lot of impact because mmap allocates
at page size boundaries. This also made the PAGE_ALIGN call in
open_mmap unneeded. In fact it was neither in sync with other mmap
calls nor with its own munmap counterpart in error path.
If such large files are encountered, which is very unlikely in these
code paths, treat them with the same error as if they are too small.
The approach to use '''…'''.split() instead of a list of strings was initially
used when converting from automake because it allowed identical blocks of lines
to be used for both, making the conversion easier.
But over the years we have been using normal lists more and more, especially
when there were just a few filenames listed. This converts the rest.
No functional change.
