This is a simple safety check, since we shouldn't invoke ioctls on fds
without being reasonably sure they are of the right type since ioctls
are overloaded, and we might be tricked hence to execute an operation on
an fd which means something different than what we expect.
This reverts commit f42d41cc5f.
DHCPv6 client does not require MAC address.
DHCPv4 client will be handled in a different way in a later commit.
Partially fixes#23546.
Newer binutils versions currently trigger the following warnings due to
a bug in gnu-efi
on arm64:
/usr/bin/ld.bfd: warning: src/boot/efi/systemd-bootaa64.elf has a LOAD segment with RWX permissions
on amd64:
/usr/bin/ld.bfd: warning: /usr/lib/crt0-efi-x86_64.o: missing .note.GNU-stack section implies executable stack
This results in a build failure due to --fatal-warnings.
Work around this issue by suppressing those warnings until gnu-efi has
been fixed.

If for any reason something goes wrong during the boot process (most likely due
to a network issue), system admins should be allowed to log in to the system to
debug the problem. However due to the login session barrier enforced by
systemd-user-sessions.service for all users, logins for root will be delayed
until a (dbus) timeout expires. Beside being confusing, it's not a nice user
experience to wait for an indefinite period of time (no message is shown) this
and also suggests that something went wrong in the background.
The reason of this delay is due to the fact that all units involved in the
creation of a user session are ordered after systemd-user-sessions.service,
which is subject to network issues. If root needs to log in at that time,
logind is requested to create a new session (via pam_systemd), which ultimately
ends up waiting for systemd-user-session.service to be activated. This has the
bad side effect to block login for root until the dbus call done by pam_systemd
times out and the PAM stack proceeds anyways.
To solve this problem, this patch orders the session scope units and the user
instances only after systemd-user-sessions.service for unprivileged users only.
DefaultSmackProcessLabel tells systemd what label to assign to its child
process in case SmackProcessLabel is not set in the service file. By
default, when DefaultSmackProcessLabel is not set child processes inherit
label from systemd.
If DefaultSmackProcessLabel is set to "/" (which is an invalid character
for a SMACK label) the DEFAULT_SMACK_PROCESS_LABEL set during compilation
is ignored and systemd act as if the option was unset.
I don't quite understand this, but '{ ! true; }' is not the same as '( ! true )'.
In interactive mode, it seems to work as expected. But in a script, it doesn't.
This means that we'll fail hard if something goes wrong, e.g. reading
of a config file. I think this is appropriate. If errors should be ignored,
the caller should do that on their end.
In practice this makes little difference, because kernel-install will
only call the plugins for 'add' or 'remove', and if we were to add a
new verb to kernel-install, we'd just change the plugins at the same
time. But our plugins serve as documentation for external plugins too,
and there it's better to silently ignore unknown verbs so that we can
add new verbs in the future.
(50-depomod.install was already like that.)
I opted to tweaking kernel-install to allow overriding config
(with $KERNEL_INSTALL_CONF_ROOT, $KERNEL_INSTALL_PLUGINS). An alternative
would be to build a test environment in test/. We can still do that,
but I think it's nice to have a simple test that is very quick and easy
to debug.
Invocation as installkernel is for #23681.
