in_initrd() was really doing two things: checking if we're in the initrd, and
also verifying that the initrd is set up correctly. But this second check is
complicated, in particular it would return false for overlayfs, even with an
upper tmpfs layer. It also doesn't support the use case of having an initial
initrd with tmpfs, and then transitioning into an intermediate initrd that is
e.g. a DDI, i.e. a filesystem possibly with verity arranged as a disk image.
We don't need to check if we're in initrd in every program. Instead, concerns
are separated:
- in_initrd() just does a simple check for /etc/initrd-release.
- When doing cleanup, pid1 checks if it's on a tmpfs before starting to wipe
the old root. The only case where we want to remove the old root is when
we're on a plain tempory filesystem. With an overlay, we'd be creating
whiteout files, which is not very useful. (*)
This should resolve https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2137631
which is caused by systemd refusing to treat the system as an initrd because
overlayfs is used.
(*) I think the idea of keeping the initrd fs around for shutdown is outdated.
We should just have a completely separate exitrd that is unpacked when we want
to shut down. This way, we don't waste memory at runtime, and we also don't
transition to a potentially older version of systemd. But we don't have support
for this yet.

Back in e2857b3d87 I added this function
as static inline in order to avoid linking libmount into libshared.
Nevertheless, a dependency on libmount was added to libbasic in
9e7f941acb, and later moved to libshared
in 77c772f227. So the shenanigan with an
inline function is not useful, let's make it a normal function.
This reverts commit 1f22621ba3.
As described in the reverted commit, we don't want to get rid of the check
completely. But the check requires opting-in by setting SYSTEMD_IN_INITRD=lenient,
which is cumbersome and doesn't seem to actually happen.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2137631 is caused by systemd refusing
to treat the system as an initrd because overlayfs is used. Let's revert this
approach and do something that doesn't require opt-in instead.
I don't think it makes sense to keep support for "SYSTEMD_IN_INITRD=lenient" or
"SYSTEMD_IN_INITRD=auto". To get "auto" behaviour, just unset the option. And
"lenient" will be reimplemented as a better check. Thus the changes to the
option interface are completely reverted.
This helps in avoiding compiling errors on musl. Definition of
IFF_LOOPBACK is the reason for including linux/if_arp.h, this however
could be obtained from net/if.h glibc header equally and makes it
portable as well.
The name "def.h" originates from before the rule of "no needless abbreviations"
was established. Let's rename the file to clarify that it contains a collection
of various semi-related constants.
I wanted to move saved_arg[cv] to process-util.c+h, but this causes problems:
process-util.h includes format-util.h which includes net/if.h, which conflicts
with linux/if.h. So we can't include process-util.h in some files.
But process-util.c is very long anyway, so it seems nice to create a new file.
rename_process(), invoked_as(), invoked_by_systemd(), and argv_looks_like_help()
which lived in process-util.c refer to saved_argc and saved_argv, so it seems
reasonable to move them to the new file too.
util.c is now empty, so it is removed. util.h remains.
version.h can be generated after compilation starts, creating a race condition
between compilation of various .c files and creation of version.h. Let's add it
as a dependency to more build targets that require version.h or build.h.
So far we played whack'a'mole by adding versiondep whenever compilation failed.
In principle any target which includes compilation (i.e. any that has .c
sources directly), could require this. I don't understand why we didn't see
more failures… But it seems reasonable to just add the dependency more widely.
I changed imports of util.h to initrd-util.h, or added an import of
initrd-util.h, to keep compilation working. It turns out that many files didn't
import util.h directly.
When viewing the patch, don't be confused by git rename detection logic:
a new .c file is added and two functions moved into it.
It's a bit silly to have a separate file that one short test, but this is the
last part of the test code that is misplaced, and here consistency beats
brevity.
The function had just one caller and a name that didn't explain much.
Let's make it static and rename for clarity.
While at it, the only caller was not doing error handling correctly
— the function would potentially return a negative error value which
wasn't handled. In practice this couldn't happen, but let's remove
this ambiguity.
This reverts commit 7d4f00c88c.
fstype_can_uid_gid() is about fixating all files to the specified
uid/gid. tmpfs does not qualify. The uid/gid parameter there is simply
about the default uid/gid for the root inode of the tmpfs, it allows
setting uids/gid arbirarily for all inodes after that.
This distinction matters: for file systems this function returns true
for we can use this in place of uidmapped mounts. But for tmpfs this is
not going to work, given inodes on that fs can end up having arbitrary
uid/gid.

Add a conditional to compile test-utmp.c only if ENABLE_UTMP is true.
