Let's enable this in all tools that intend to write to the OS images.
It's not conditionalized for now, as there already is conditionalization
in the existance or absence of the flag in the GPT partition table (and
it's opt-in), hence it should be OK to just enable this by default for
now if the flag is set.
create_fifo() was added in a2fc2f8dd3, and
would always ignore failure. The test was trying to fail in this case, but
we actually don't fail, which seems to be correct. We didn't notice before
because the test was ineffective.
To make things consistent, generally log at warning level, but don't propagate
the error. For symlinks, log at debug level, as before.
For 'e', failure is not propagated now. The test is adjusted to match.
I think warning is appropriate in most cases: we do not expect a device node to
be replaced by a different device node or even a non-device file. This would
most likely be an error somewhere. An exception is made for symlinks, which are
mismatched on purpose, for example /etc/resolv.conf. With this patch, we don't
get any warnings with the any of the 74 tmpfiles.d files, which suggests that
increasing the warning levels will not cause too many unexpected warnings. If
it turns out that there are valid cases where people have expected mismatches
for non-symlink types, we can always decrease the log levels again.
Previously, the flag did two things at once: enable support for using
generic partitions as root fs if there were only one/allow use of
partition-table-less images as root fs. And secondly, insist that there
was a rootfs, and fail if not. Let's split these two in two separate
options so that they can be used independently of each other.
There are cases where one wants to use one without the other (i.e. when
inspecting things with systemd-dissect tool it should be OK to do so
even if image has no root fs), and it's cleaner anyway.
I don't think it's realistic to operate without /proc/. Hence, let's
make this explicit.
If one day someone finds a way to do what we need without /proc/ we can
certainly drop this check again, but for now I think it's a lot
friendlier to users to make this explicitly early on instead continuing
to run and then not do what we need to do, oftentimes failing in cryptic
ways.
After all, invoking the tool without /proc/ is not an error that was
specific to some of the lines we process, but it's systematic error that
will show its ugly face in many codepaths down the line.

As suggested in https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/11484#issuecomment-775288617.
This does not touch anything exposed in src/systemd. Changing the defines there
would be a compatibility break.
Note that tests are broken after this commit. They will be fixed in the next one.
I think this formatting was originally used because it simplified
adding new options to the help messages. However, these days, most
tools their help message end with "\nSee the %s for details.\n" so
the final line almost never has to be edited which eliminates the
benefit of the custom formatting used for printf() help messages.
Let's make things more consistent and use the same formatting for
printf() help messages that we use everywhere else.

offline-passwd.[ch] are only used by systemd-tmpfiles and the relevant
test. And are not included in libshared. So, it is not suitable to
located under src/shared.
In many cases the tables are largely the same, hence define a common set
of macros to generate the common parts.
This adds in a couple of missing specifiers here and there, so is more
thant just refactoring: it actually fixes accidental omissions.
Note that some entries that look like they could be unified under these
macros can't really be unified, since they are slightly different. For
example in the DNSSD service logic we want to use the DNSSD hostname for
%H rather than the unmodified kernel one.
When 4dfaa528d4 was first commited its callers relied on `errno` instead of the
return value for error reporting. Which worked fine, since internally
under all conditions base were set — even if ugly and not inline with
our coding style. Things then got broken in
f8606626ed where suddenly additional
syscalls might end up being done in the function, thus corrupting `errno`.
This simplifies things quite a bit, and is reusable wherever we want to
use statx() later on. Not sure why I didn't do it like this right from
the beginning...
This allows us to properly detect mount points, for free. (Also, allows
us to respect btimes that are newer than the cutoff, which should be
useful when people untar file trees in /var/tmp)
Fixes: #16848
The test binary has two modes: in the default argument-less mode, it
just checks that "root" can be resolved. When invoked manually, a root
prefix and user/group names can be specified.

This gets rid of most but not occasions of these loaded terms:
1. scsi_id and friends are something that is supposed to be removed from
our tree (see #7594)
2. The test suite defines an API used by the ubuntu CI. We can remove
this too later, but this needs to be done in sync with the ubuntu CI.
3. In some cases the terms are part of APIs we call or where we expose
concepts the kernel names the way it names them. (In particular all
remaining uses of the word "slave" in our codebase are like this,
it's used by the POSIX PTY layer, by the network subsystem, the mount
API and the block device subsystem). Getting rid of the term in these
contexts would mean doing some major fixes of the kernel ABI first.
Regarding the replacements: when whitelist/blacklist is used as noun we
replace with with allow list/deny list, and when used as verb with
allow-list/deny-list.
Patch contains a coccinelle script, but it only works in some cases. Many
parts were converted by hand.
Note: I did not fix errors in return value handing. This will be done separate
to keep the patch comprehensible. No functional change is intended in this
patch.
Use -Dstandalone-binaries=yes to enable building and installing this standalone
version of the binary without a dependency on the systemd-shared solib.
Also move the list of sources for systemd-tmpfiles to its own meson.build file.
