Currently, systemd-sysctl command configures kernel parameters in each sysctl
configuration files in random order due to characteristics of iterator of
Hashmap.
However, kernel parameters need to be configured in the order they occur in
each sysctl configuration files.
- For example, consider fs.suid_coredump and kernel.core_pattern. If
fs.suid_coredump=2 is configured before kernel.core_pattern= whose default
value is "core", then kernel outputs the following message:
Unsafe core_pattern used with suid_dumpable=2. Pipe handler or fully qualified core dump path required.
Note that the security issue mentioned in this message has already been fixed
on recent kernels, so this is just a warning message on such kernels. But
it's still confusing to users that this message is output on some boot and
not output on another boot.
- I don't know but there could be other kernel parameters that are significant
in the order they are configured.
- The legacy sysctl command configures kernel parameters in the order they
occur in each sysctl configuration files. Although I didn't find any official
specification explaining this behavior of sysctl command, I don't think there
is any meaningful reason to change this behavior, in particular, to the
random one.
This commit does the change by simply using OrderedHashmap instead of Hashmap.
This commit is a minor tweak after the split of `--share-system`, decoupling the `--boot`
option from IPC namespacing.
Historically there has been a single `--share-system` option for sharing IPC/PID/UTS with the
host, which was incompatible with boot/pid1 mode. After the split, it is now possible to express
the requirements with better granularity.
For reference, this is a followup to #4023 which contains references to previous discussions.
I realized too late that CLONE_NEWIPC is not strictly needed for boot mode.
If Kind is not specied, the message about "Invalid Kind" was misleading.
If Kind was specified in an invalid way, we get a message in the parsing
phase anyway. Reword the message to cover both cases better.
Also update the description of drop-ins in systemd.unit(5) to say that .d
directories, not .conf files, are in /etc/system/system, /run/systemd/system,
etc.
The key used to be jammed next to the local file path. Based on the format string on line 1675, I determined that the order of arguments was written incorrectly, and updated the function based on that assumption.

Will be used by rpm-ostree (and likely lorax) to suppress
RPM->kernel->%posttrans->dracut runs, and basically everything
else this script is doing.
I'll also likely change the `kernel.spec` to respect this as well.
We were already unconditionally using the unicode character when the
input string was not pure ASCII, leading to different behaviour in
depending on the input string.

errno value is not protected (it is undefined after this function returns).
Various mhd_* functions are not documented to protect errno, so this could not
guaranteed anyway.
According to its manual page, flags given to mkostemp(3) shouldn't include
O_RDWR, O_CREAT or O_EXCL flags as these are always included. Beyond
those, the only flag that all callers (except a few tests where it
probably doesn't matter) use is O_CLOEXEC, so set that unconditionally.
This parser will also be used in libinput, which uses the MIT license, so
relicense this file to the more permissive license to make bidirectional code
flow easier. parse_hwdb.py is only useful during building of the project, and
is not part of the installation, so effectively both licenses are very similar.
In particular, the licensing of binary packages produced by systemd is not
influenced in any way, because the MIT licensed part is not installed.
