I'm working on the transition to merged sbin in Fedora. While the transition is
happening (and probably for a while after), we need to compile systemd with
split-bin=true to support systems upgraded from previous versions. But when the
system has been upgraded and already has /usr/sbin that is a symlink, be nice
and give $PATH without sbin.
We check for both /usr/sbin and /usr/local/sbin. If either exists and is not a
symlink to ./bin, we retain previous behaviour. This means that if both are
converted, we get the same behaviour as split-bin=false, and otherwise we
get the same behaviour as before.
sd-path uses the same logic. This is not a hot path, so I got rid of the nulstr
macros that duplicated the logic.
path_simplify_full()/path_simplify() are changed to allow a NULL path, for
which a NULL is returned. Generally, callers have already asserted before that
the argument is nonnull. This way path_simplify_full()/path_simplify() and
path_simplify_alloc() behave consistently.
In sd-device.c, logging in device_set_syspath() is intentionally dropped: other
branches don't log.
In mount-tool.c, logging in parse_argv() is changed to log the user-specified
value, not the simplified string. In an error message, we should show the
actual argument we got, not some transformed version.
Add a helper filename_part_is_valid() which does half of what
filename_is_valid() does: it checks for valid chars and length, but does
not filter out ".", ".." and "", as these are OK as parts of filenames,
just not alone.
Let's be more accurate about what this function does: it checks whether
the underlying reported inode is the same. Internally, this already uses
a better named stat_inode_same() call, hence let's similarly name the
wrapping function following the same logic.
Similar for files_same_at() and path_equal_or_same_files().
No code changes, just some renaming.
The function path_prefix_root_cwd() was introduced for prefixing the
result from chaseat() with root, but
- it is named slightly generic,
- the logic is different from what chase() does.
This makes the name more explanative and specific for the result of the
chaseat(), and make the logic consistent with chase().
Fixes https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/27199#issuecomment-1511387731.
Follow-up for #27199.
Let's port one more over.
Note that this changes behaviour of file_in_same_dir() in some regards.
Specifically, a trailing slash of the input path will be treated
differently: previously we'd operate below that dir then, instead of the
parent. I think that makes little sense however, and I think the code
using this function doesn't expect that either.
Moroever, addresses some corner cases if the path is specified as "/" or
".", i.e. where e cannot extract a parent. These will now be treated as
error, which I think is much cleaner.
This is useful for systems which don't have any fsck.
We already skip emitting the fsck dependency when the fsck.$fstype helper
is missing, but fstab-generator doesn't necessarily know the fstype when
handling the root= parameter.
Previously, systemd-fsck was started for these mounts and then exited
immediately because it couldn't find the fsck.$fstype helper.
Let's make this functions that check validity of paths a bit more
friendly towards one specific kind of invalid path: a NULL pointer.
This follows similar logic in path_is_valid(), path_is_normalized() and
so on.
This is a high-level function, and it belongs in libsystemd-shared. This way we
don't end up linking a separate copy into various binaries. It would even end
up in libsystemd, where it is not needed. (Maybe it'd be removed in some
optimization phase, but it's better to not rely on that.)

No functional change.
This function implements a heuristic that is only used by nspawn. It doesn't
belong in basic. I opted for a new file "nspawn-utils.c", because it seems
likely that we'll need some other new utilities like that in the future.
No functional change.
Currently there does not exist a way to specify a path relative to which
all binaries executed by Exec should be found. The only way is to
specify the absolute path.
This change implements the functionality to specify a path relative to which
binaries executed by Exec*= can be found.
Closes#6308
When the root parameter in find_executable_full is set, chase_symlinks prefixes this root
to every check of the path name to find the complete path of the execuatble in case the
path provided is not absolute. This is only done for the non NULL root because otherwise
the chase_symlinks function would alter the behavior of some of the callers which would
in turn alter the outputs in a way that is undesirable. The find_execuatble_full function is
invoked by the verify_executable function in analyze-verify.
The two are completely identical, only the return code is inverted.
let's hence make it easy for the compiler to make it the same function
call even in lowest optimization modes.
This makes the functions handle "xx/" and "xx/." as equivalent.
Moreover, now path_extract_directory() returns normalized path, that is
no redundant "/" or "/./" are contained.
These two together are a lot like dirname() + basename() but have the
benefit that they return clear errors when one passes a special case
path to them where the extraction doesn't make sense, i.e. "", "/",
"foo", "foo/" and so on.
Sooner or later we should probably port all our uses of
dirname()/basename() over to this, to catch these special cases more
safely.
