Not every byte sequence is valid utf8. We allow escaping of non-utf8
sequences in strings by using octal and hexadecimal escape sequences
(\123 and \0xAB) for bytes at or above 128. Users of cunescape_one
could infer whether such use occured when they received an answer
between 128 and 256 in *ret (a non-ascii one byte character). But this
is subtle and misleading: the comments were wrong, because ascii is a
subset of unicode, so c != 0 did not mean non-unicode, but rather
ascii-subset-of-unicode-or-raw-byte. This was all rather confusing, so
make the "single byte" condition explicit.
I'm not convinced that allowing non-utf8 sequences to be produced is
useful in all cases where we allow it (e.g. in config files), but that
behaviour is unchanged, just made more explicit.
This also fixes an (invalid) gcc warning about unitialized variable
(*ret_unicode) in callers of cunescape_one.
errno_from_name used an unusual return convention where 0 meant
"not found". This tripped up config_parse_syscall_errno(),
which would treat that as success. Return -EINVAL instead,
and adjust bus_error_name_to_errno() for the new convention.
Also remove a goto which was used as a simple if and clean
up surroudning code a bit.
This is not particularly intrusive because it happens in simple
utility functions. It helps gcc understand that error codes
are negative.
This gets a rid of most of the remaining warnings.
gcc is confused by the common idiom of
return errno ? -errno : -ESOMETHING
and thinks a positive value may be returned. Replace this condition
with errno > 0 to help gcc and avoid many spurious warnings. I filed
a gcc rfe a long time ago, but it hard to say if it will ever be
implemented [1].
Both conventions were used in the codebase, this change makes things
more consistent. This is a follow up to bcb161b023.

In contrast to ascii_strcasecmp_nn() it takes two character buffers with their individual length. It will then compare
the buffers up the smaller size of the two buffers, and finally the length themselves.
This patch adds support for ambient capabilities in service files. The
idea with ambient capabilities is that the execed processes can run with
non-root user and get some inherited capabilities, without having any
need to add the capabilities to the executable file.
You need at least Linux 4.3 to use ambient capabilities. SecureBit
keep-caps is automatically added when you use ambient capabilities and
wish to change the user.
An example system service file might look like this:
[Unit]
Description=Service for testing caps
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/sleep 10000
User=nobody
AmbientCapabilities=CAP_NET_ADMIN CAP_NET_RAW
After starting the service it has these capabilities:
CapInh: 0000000000003000
CapPrm: 0000000000003000
CapEff: 0000000000003000
CapBnd: 0000003fffffffff
CapAmb: 0000000000003000
Change the capability bounding set parser and logic so that the bounding
set is kept as a positive set internally. This means that the set
reflects those capabilities that we want to keep instead of drop.
Previously, when we couldn't connect to a DNS server via TCP we'd abort the whole transaction using a
"connection-failure" state. This change removes that, and counts failed connections as "lost packet" events, so that
we switch back to the UDP protocol again.
Rather than walking a list of valid values one-by-one, generate a
switch-case statement for the IN_SET() macro. This allows the compiler to
further optimize its code output, possibly by generating jump tables.
This effectively decreases the binary size slightly.
The implementation is based on macro overloading depending on the number of
arguments. h/t to the following post:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11761703/overloading-macro-on-number-of-arguments
In a couple of cases we maintain configuration settings that know an on
and off state, like a boolean, plus some additional states. We generally
parse them as booleans first, and if that fails check for specific
additional values.
This adds a generalized set of macros for parsing such settings, and
ports one use in resolved and another in networkd over to it.
The file /sys/module/ipv6 does not exist in all container
implementations (e.g. Virtuozzo). Using /proc/net/sockstat6
detects IPv6 support reliably in these environments, too.
This file does not exist when the kernel is not compiled with
IPv6 support, or if IPv6 support is disabled, so simply checking
for existence should be a suitable check.
Fixes#2059
This adds an self-standing RB-Tree implementation to src/basic/. This
will be needed for NSEC RR lookups, since we need "close lookups", which
hashmaps (not even ordered-hashmaps) can give us in reasonable time.

tree-wide: port more code to use send_one_fd() and receive_one_fd()
because here our fd is not connected and we need to specify
the address.
We need to check the same thing in multiple tests. Use a shared
macro to make it easier to update the list of errnos.
Change the errno code for "unitialized cgroup fs" for ENOMEDIUM.
Exec format error looks like something more serious.
This fixes test-execute invocation in mock.
Let's distuingish the cases where our code takes an active role in
selinux management, or just passively reports whatever selinux
properties are set.
mac_selinux_have() now checks whether selinux is around for the passive
stuff, and mac_selinux_use() for the active stuff. The latter checks the
former, plus also checks UID == 0, under the assumption that only when
we run priviliged selinux management really makes sense.
Fixes: #1941
The header file defines some helpers for GLIBC NSS and doesn't include
anything else but glibc headers, hence there's little reason to keep it
in shared/.

Virtualbox should be detected as 'oracle'. This used to work but broke
with commit:
commit 75f86906c5
Author: Lennart Poettering <lennart@poettering.net>
Date: Mon Sep 7 13:42:47 2015 +0200
basic: rework virtualization detection API
We swap detection for dmi and cpuid, this fixes Virtualbox with KVM.
Hopefully it does not break anything else.
