When udevadm verify is invoked without positional arguments and loads
all rules files from the system like the udev daemon does, this option
can be used to operate on files underneath the specified root path.
This drops all mentions of gnu-efi and its manual build machinery. A
future commit will bring bootloader builds back. A new bootloader meson
option is now used to control whether to build sd-boot and its userspace
tooling.
We seem to have no tool to verify udev rule files. There is a simple
udev rules syntax checker in the tree, test/rule-syntax-check.py, but
it is too simple to detect less trivial issues not detected by udev,
e.g. redundant comparisons (#26593) or labels without references.
Such a tool would be beneficial not only for maintaining udev rules
distributed along with udev, but also and even more so for maintaining
third party udev rules that are more likely to have issues with syntax
and semantic correctness.
Implement a udev rules syntax and semantics checker in the form of
'udevadm verify [OPTIONS] FILE...' command that is based on
udev_rules_parse_file() interface and would apply further checks
on top of it in subsequent commits.
Resolves: #26606
The unlink command removes an entry from the ESP including
referenced files that are not referenced in other entries. That is
useful eg to have multiple entries that use the same kernel with
different options.
The cleanup command removes all files that are not referenced by any
entry.
This fixes a few unrelated issues:
- when ENABLE_MACHINED is false, machinectl is not installed, but _sd_machines
is still used in a few places that want to complete -M and such.
Also, bash completion calls machinectl in various places.
Make missing machinectl mean "no machines" in this case, so
that no error is generated in the callers.
- machinectl list --full would print multiple lines of output per machine,
breaking grep, issue introduced in e2268fa437.
Using --max-addresses=1 would fix the issue, but let's use
--max-addresses=0 because we now can.
- the lists used in various places were slightly different for no good reason.
- don't use a subshell if not necessary.
The code for bash still uses the same combined list of images and running
machines for various commands. The zsh code uses images for start/clone, and
running machines for the rest. Maybe something to fix in the future.
Replaces #25048.
The new function DumpPatterns() can be used to limit (drastically) the size of
the data returned by PID1. Hence the optimization of serializing data into a
file descriptor should be less relevant than having the possibility to limit
the data when communicating with the service manager remotely.
NB: when passing patterns, the dump command omits the version of the manager as
well as the features and the timestamps.
getopt allows non-ambiguous abbreviations, so backwards-compat is maintained, and
people can use --kill-who (or even shorter abbreviations). English is flexible,
so in common speach people would use both forms, even if "whom" is technically
more correct. The advantage of using the longer form in the code is that we
effectively allow both forms, so we stop punishing people who DTGCT¹, but still
allow people to use the spoken form if they prefer.
