We already have this nice code in system that determines the block
device backing the root file system, but it's only used internally in
systemd-gpt-generator. Let's make this more accessible and expose it
directly in bootctl.
It doesn't fit immediately into the topic of bootctl, but I think it's
close enough and behaves very similar to the existing "bootctl
--print-boot-path" and "--print-esp-path" tools.
If --print-root-device (or -R) is specified once, will show the block device
backing the root fs, and if specified twice (probably easier: -RR) it
will show the whole block device that block device belongs to in case it
is a partition block device.
Suggested use:
# cfdisk `bootctl -RR`
To get access to the partition table, behind the OS install, for
whatever it might be.
No functional changes, just refactoring.
Note, this also makes synthesize_change() propagate the error from
synthesize_change_one(). However, the caller of synthesize_change()
ignores the failure anyway, hence the change does not take any effect.
The goal is to move everything that requires selinux or smack
away from src/basic/. This means that src/basic/label.[ch] must move,
which implies btrfs-util.[ch], copy.[ch], and a bunch of other files
which form a cluster of internal use.
This is just moving text around, so there should be no functional difference.
test-blockdev-util is new, because path_is_encrypted() is moved to
blockdev-util.c, and so far we didn't have any tests for code there.
