sd-boot has a copy of a subset of codes from libbasic. This makes
sd-boot share the code with libbasic, and dedup the code.
Note, startswith_no_case() is dropped from sd-boot, as
- it is not used,
- the previous implementation is not correct,
- gnu-efi does not have StrniCmp() or so.
Let's tighten the logic behind path_extract_filename() a bit: first of
all, refuse all cases of invalid paths with -EINVAL. More importantly
though return a recognizable error when a valid path is specified that
does not contain any filename. Specifically, "/" will now result in
-EADDRNOTAVAIL.
This changes API, but none of the existing callers care about the return
value, hence the change should be fine.
CLI tools may be used in a script. E.g., a script for monitoring a
service may use `systemctl`. Previously, if the kernel command line has
e.g. systemd.log-level=debug, then systemctl in the script produces
debugging logs when the script is invoked by a .service unit, but does
not when the script is running in a terminal. Then,

In the previous commit, $SYSTEMD_EXEC_PID= is introduced. Then, we can
now detect whether a command is directly invoked by systemd or through
a script. Let's skip reading the kernel command line when a command is
invoked through a script.
This effectively reverts 41d1f469cf.
Before this, e.g., `networkctl reload` invoked by `systemctl reload systemd-networkd.service`
does not produce debugging logs even if systemd.log-level=debug is set. This fixes
the issue.
The target is update-syscall-tables, so let's call the script
update-syscall-tables.sh to reduce the cognitive overhead when
trying to find the right file.
Upstream uses .text, but this is rather unusual. Let's use .txt as the usual
suffix for text files. This tells various editors and such that the file should
be treated as plain text. I also want to a script to summarize license status,
and having an easy-to-recognize suffix makes this easier.
Even though many of those scripts are very simple, it is easier to include
the header than to try to say whether each of those files is trivial enough
not to require one.
If the file was always generated on the fly, the header would be pointless.
But since we distribute it, it should be there. C.f.

This addresses the following comments by the Lennart:

hmm, so this now does two access() calls for the case where the fd is
not requested, and opens things up for races (theoretically, …). now,
the access() code path was in place for optimization, but if an optimization
is less sexy than the original (and i think it is less sexy, since more
than one syscall, and non-atomic), i think we shouldn't do the optimization.
maybe we should just always use open(O_PATH) now, and then fstat() it to
check if regular file, and then access_fd() it for checking if its executable.
Let#s make these helpers useful even without _cleanup_ logic, to destory
arbitary fields: make them OK wiht a NULL pointer as input, and always
return one as output.
So far, we would allow certain control characters (NL since
b4346b9a77, TAB since 6294aa76d8), but not others. Having
other control characters in environment variable *value* is expected and widely
used, for various prompts like $LESS, $LESS_TERMCAP_*, and other similar
variables. The typical environment exported by bash already contains a dozen or
so such variables, so programs need to handle them.
We handle then correctly too, for example in 'systemctl show-environment',
since 804ee07c13. But we would still disallow setting such variables
by the user, in unit file Environment= and in set-environment/import-environment
operations. This is unexpected and confusing and doesn't help with anything
because such variables are present in the environment through other means.
When printing such variables, 'show-environment' escapes all special
characters, so variables with control characters are plainly visible.
In other uses, e.g. 'cat -v' can be used in similar fashion. This would already
need to be done to suppress color codes starting with \[.
Note that we still forbid invalid utf-8 with this patch. (Control characters
are valid, since they are valid 7-bit ascii.) I'm not sure if we should do
that, but since people haven't been actually asking for invalid utf-8, and only
for control characters, and invalid utf-8 causes other issues, I think it's OK
to leave this unchanged.
Fixes#4446, https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-session/-/issues/45.
DNS_HOSTNAME_MAX is used by sd-resolve, but it was defined in
src/shared/dns-domain.h. The library libsystemd should be independent
of source files under src/shared.
Functions defined by us are supposed to return negative errno-style
errors on errors. laccess() is for access() what lstat() is for stat(),
but defined by us as a macro. This led to some confusion regarding error
handling.
Let's return a negative errno code just in case. This means callers can
it use either way: like access(), i.e. checking for a negative return
value + looking at errno, or like our own code, i.e. using the negative
errno code it returns.
