Unfortunately fgetxattr() and flistxattr() don't work via O_PATH fds.
Let's thus add fallbacks to go via /proc/self/fd/ in these cases.
Also, let's merge all the various flavours we have here into singular
implementations that can do everything we need:
1. malloc() loop handling
2. by fd, by path, or combination (i.e. a proper openat() like API)
3. work on O_PATH
In some cases image names are unpredictable - some orchestrators/deployment
tools like to mangle names to suit their internal formats. In these cases,
the requirement that the extension-release file matches exactly the image
name where it's contained cannot work.
Allow falling back to loading the first regular file which name starts with
'extension-release' located in /usr/lib/extension-release.d/ and tagged with
a user.extension-release.strict extended attribute with a true value, if the
one with the expected name cannot be found.
This doesn't have much effect on the final build, because we link libbasic.a
into libsystemd-shared.so, so in the end, all the object built from basic/
end up in libsystemd-shared. And when the static library is linked into binaries,
any objects that are included in it but are not used are trimmed. Hence, the
size of output artifacts doesn't change:
$ du -sb /var/tmp/inst*
54181861 /var/tmp/inst1 (old)
54207441 /var/tmp/inst1s (old split-usr)
54182477 /var/tmp/inst2 (new)
54208041 /var/tmp/inst2s (new split-usr)
(The negligible change in size is because libsystemd-shared.so is bigger
by a few hundred bytes. I guess it's because symbols are named differently
or something like that.)
The effect is on the build process, in particular partial builds. This change
effectively moves the requirements on some build steps toward the leaves of the
dependency tree. Two effects:
- when building items that do not depend on libsystemd-shared, we
build less stuff for libbasic.a (which wouldn't be used anyway,
so it's a net win).
- when building items that do depend on libshared, we reduce libbasic.a as a
synchronization point, possibly allowing better parallelism.
Method:
1. copy list of .h files from src/basic/meson.build to /tmp/basic
2. $ for i in $(grep '.h$' /tmp/basic); do echo $i; git --no-pager grep "include \"$i\"" src/basic/ 'src/lib*' 'src/nss-*' 'src/journal/sd-journal.c' |grep -v "${i%.h}.c";echo ;done | less
Now that we don't (mis-)use the env file parser to parse kernel command
lines there's no need anymore to override the used newline character
set. Let's hence drop the argument and just "\n\r" always. This nicely
simplifies our code.
