These are wrappers around getpwuid_r() and friends, and will allocate the
right-sized buffer for this call.
We so far had multiple implementations of a buffer allocation loop
around getpwuid_r() and friends, and they all suck in some way. Let's
clean this up and add a common implementation, and use it everywhere.
Also, be more careful with error numbers, in particular systematically
turn ENOENT into ENOSRCH (the former is what is returned if /etc/passwd
is absent, which we want to consider identical to user not existing,
which is ENOSRCH). We so far did this at some invocations, but not all.
There are some invocations of getpwuid() left in the codebase. We really
should fix those too, and have a single unified implementation of the
logic, but those are not as trivial to convert, so left for another
time.
The branch explicitly checks that all of these ret_ variables are NULL,
so they will never be used.

Let's rename return parameters to ret_xyz, and let's guarantee the usual
rule to initialize all return parameters on success, and not touch any
on failure.
path_simplify_full()/path_simplify() are changed to allow a NULL path, for
which a NULL is returned. Generally, callers have already asserted before that
the argument is nonnull. This way path_simplify_full()/path_simplify() and
path_simplify_alloc() behave consistently.
In sd-device.c, logging in device_set_syspath() is intentionally dropped: other
branches don't log.
In mount-tool.c, logging in parse_argv() is changed to log the user-specified
value, not the simplified string. In an error message, we should show the
actual argument we got, not some transformed version.

Chasing symlinks is a core function that's used in a lot of places
so it deservers a less verbose names so let's rename it to chase()
and chaseat().
We also slightly change the pattern used for the chaseat() helpers
so we get chase_and_openat() and similar.
This allows sysusers to operate with --root that is an empty directory.
It may be useful to, for example, populate the user database before installing
anything else.
firstboot was already doing this, so drop the duplicated call there.
The check of u==UID_NOBODY is just a register comparison, but
synthesize_nobody() requires a system call, so let's invert the order in the
condition. Since most calls into this module are not for nobody, we should
save one syscall in the common case.
/bin/sh as a shell is punishing. There is no good reason to make
the occasional root login unpleasant.
Since /bin/sh is usually /bin/bash in compat mode, i.e. if one is
available, the other will be too, /bin/bash is almost as good as a default.
But to avoid a regression in the situation where /bin/bash (or
DEFAULT_USER_SHELL) is not installed, we check with access() and fall back
to /bin/sh. This should make this change in behaviour less risky.
(FWIW, e.g. Fedora/RHEL use /bin/bash as default for root.)
This is a follow-up of sorts for 53350c7bba,
which added the default-user-shell option, but most likely with the idea
of using /bin/bash less ;)
Fixes#24369.
We now have a local implementation in string-util-fundamental.c, but
it's useful at a lot of other places, hence let's give it a more
expressive name and share it across the tree.

Also break some long lines for more uniform formatting. No functional change.
I went over all log_struct, log_struct_errno, log_unit_struct,
log_unit_struct_errno calls, and they seem fine.
This is a debugging feature. It's sometimes incredibly useful to be able
to run a second instance of homed that operates on another dir than
/home/.
Specifically, if you build homed from the source tree you can now run an
instance of it pretty reasonably directly from the build tree via:
sudo SYSTEMD_HOME_DEBUG_SUFFIX=foo SYSTEMD_HOMEWORK_PATH=$(pwd)/build/systemd-homework SYSTEMD_HOME_ROOT=/home/foo ./build/systemd-homed
And then talk to it via
sudo SYSTEMD_HOME_DEBUG_SUFFIX=foo homectl …
(you might need to tweak your dbus policy for this to work fully though)
This fixes two checks where we compare string sizes when validating with
FILENAME_MAX. In both cases the check apparently wants to check if the
name fits in a filename, but that's not actually what FILENAME_MAX can
be used for, as it — in contrast to what the name suggests — actually
encodes the maximum length of a path.
In both cases the stricter change doesn't actually change much, but the
use of FILENAME_MAX is still misleading and typically wrong.
We would parse numbers with base prefixes as user identifiers. For example,
"0x2b3bfa0" would be interpreted as UID==45334432 and "01750" would be
interpreted as UID==1000. This parsing was used also in cases where either a
user/group name or number may be specified. This means that names like
0x2b3bfa0 would be ambiguous: they are a valid user name according to our
documented relaxed rules, but they would also be parsed as numeric uids.
This behaviour is definitely not expected by users, since tools generally only
accept decimal numbers (e.g. id, getent passwd), while other tools only accept
user names and thus will interpret such strings as user names without even
attempting to convert them to numbers (su, ssh). So let's follow suit and only
accept numbers in decimal notation. Effectively this means that we will reject
such strings as a username/uid/groupname/gid where strict mode is used, and try
to look up a user/group with such a name in relaxed mode.
Since the function changed is fairly low-level and fairly widely used, this
affects multiple tools: loginctl show-user/enable-linger/disable-linger foo',
the third argument in sysusers.d, fourth and fifth arguments in tmpfiles.d,
etc.
Fixes#15985.
This reworks the user validation infrastructure. There are now two
modes. In regular mode we are strict and test against a strict set of
valid chars. And in "relaxed" mode we just filter out some really
obvious, dangerous stuff. i.e. strict is whitelisting what is OK, but
"relaxed" is blacklisting what is really not OK.
The idea is that we use strict mode whenver we allocate a new user
(i.e. in sysusers.d or homed), while "relaxed" mode is when we process
users registered elsewhere, (i.e. userdb, logind, …)
The requirements on user name validity vary wildly. SSSD thinks its fine
to embedd "@" for example, while the suggested NAME_REGEX field on
Debian does not even allow uppercase chars…
This effectively liberaralizes a lot what we expect from usernames.
The code that warns about questionnable user names is now optional and
only used at places such as unit file parsing, so that it doesn't show
up on every userdb query, but only when processing configuration files
that know better.
Fixes: #15149#15090
When we are supposed to accept numeric UIDs formatted as string, then
let's check that first, before passing things on to
valid_user_group_name_full(), since that might log about, and not the
other way round.

In 1a29610f5f the change inadvertedly
disabled names with digit as the first character. This follow-up change
allows a digit as the first character in compat mode.
Fixes: #15141
This way we can use libxcrypt specific functionality such as
crypt_gensalt() and thus take benefit of the newer algorithms libxcrypt
implements. (Also adds support for a new env var $SYSTEMD_CRYPT_PREFIX
which may be used to select the hash algorithm to use for libxcrypt.)
Also, let's move the weird crypt.h inclusion into libcrypt.h so that
there's a single place for it.
