Regardless of whether a vc path is passed, the behavior of
systemd-vconsole-setup wasn't ideal when either the passed vc or /dev/tty1 was
in graphics mode.
When a vc in graphics mode was passed, no message was emitted despite the fact
that the font settings couldn't be applied. The previous code might have
assumed that setfont(8) would throw a warning but that's not case.
When no argument was passed, systemd-vconsole-setup was supposed to
automatically select a valid tty, init it and copy the font setting to the
remaining ttys. However if the selected virtual console was in KD_GRAPHICS mode
the initialization of the font failed not only for the selected source vc but
for all of them.
Since we accept that setfont(8) can fail with EX_OSERR and we dont treat it as
an error, dont log this failure at LOG_ERR.
Before:
-------
/usr/bin/setfont failed with exit status 71. [LOG_ERR]
Setting fonts failed with a "system error", ignoring. [LOG_NOTICE]
After:
-----
/usr/bin/setfont failed with a "system error" (EX_OSERR), ignoring. [LOG_NOTICE]
Setting source virtual console failed, ignoring remaining ones [LOG_NOTICE]

This is a magic string, and we should avoid stepping into the territory
of normal keymap names with that, given that users can pick names
otherwise freely.
Hence, prefix the name with a special char to avoid any namespace
issues.
Follow-up for: #28660
Let's code this straighforwadly, and just allocate the string as we need
it, instead of doing pre-allocation.
This is not performance sensitive, as this will almost certainly just
return /dev/tty1 after the first transition.
The new meson option 'default-keymap' means that by default there's always
a keymap to configure, so vconsole-setup fails. Allow to set
-Ddefault-keymap="" to disable it and skip gracefully again.

When systemd-firstboot (or any other unit which uses the tty) is started,
systemd will reset the terminal. If systemd-vconsole-setup happens to be
running at that time, it'll error out when it tries to use the vconsole fd and
gets an EIO from ioctl.
e019ea738d was the first fix. It added an
implicit ordering between units using the tty and systemd-vconsole-setup.
(The commit title is wrong. The approach was generalized, but the commit title
wasn't updated.)
Then cea32691c3 was added to restart
systemd-vconsole-setup.service from systemd-firstboot.service. This was OK,
with the ordering in place, systemd-vconsole-setup.service would wait until
systemd-firstboot.service exited. But this wasn't enough, because we want the
key mappings to be loaded immediately after systemd-firstboot writes the
config. 8eb668b9ab implemented that, but actually
reintroduced the original issue. I had to drop the ordering between the two
units because otherwise we'd deadlock, waiting from firstboot for
vconsole-setup which wouldn't start while firstboot was running.
Restarting vconsole-setup.service from systemd-firstboot.service works just
fine, but when vconsole-setup.service is started earlier, it may be interrupted
by systemd-firstboot.service.
To resolve the issue, let's take a lock around the tty device. The reset is
performed after fork, so the (short) delay should not matter too much.
In xopenat_lock() the assert on <path> is dropped so that we can call
xopenat(fd, NULL) to get a copy of the original fd.
Fixes#26908.
Realistically, the only thing that the caller can do is ignore failures related
to missing credentials. If the caller requires some credentials to be present,
they should just check which output variables are not NULL. One of the callers
was already doing that, and the other wanted to, but missed -ENOENT. By
suppressing -ENOENT and -ENXIO, both callers are simplified.
Fixes a warning at boot:
systemd-vconsole-setup[221]: Failed to import credentials, ignoring: No such file or directory
Allow defining the default keymap to be used by
vconsole-setup through a build option. A template
vconsole.conf also gets populated by tmpfiles if
it doesn't exist.
-1 was used everywhere, but -EBADF or -EBADFD started being used in various
places. Let's make things consistent in the new style.
Note that there are two candidates:
EBADF 9 Bad file descriptor
EBADFD 77 File descriptor in bad state
Since we're initializating the fd, we're just assigning a value that means
"no fd yet", so it's just a bad file descriptor, and the first errno fits
better. If instead we had a valid file descriptor that became invalid because
of some operation or state change, the other errno would fit better.
In some places, initialization is dropped if unnecessary.
GIT_VERSION is not available as a config.h variable, because it's rendered
into version.h during builds. Let's rework jinja2 rendering to also
parse version.h. No functional change, the new variable is so far unused.
I guess this will make partial rebuilds a bit slower, but it's useful
to be able to use the full version string.
When using "capture : true" in custom_target()s the mode of the source
file is not preserved when the generated file is not installed and so
needs to be tweaked manually. Switch from output capture to creating the
target file and copy the permissions from the input file.

With some versions of the compiler, the _cleanup_ attr makes it think
the variable might be freed/closed when uninitialized, even though it
cannot happen. The added cost is small enough to be worth the benefit,
and optimized builds will help reduce it even further.
Since commit 883eb9be98, vconsole-setup might be
called again to operate on dummy console where font operations are not
supported but where it's still important to have the correct keymap set [0][1].
vconsole-setup is mainly called by udev but can also be run via a dependency of
an early service. Both cases might end up calling vconsole-setup on the dummy
console.
The first case can happen during early boot even on systems that use (instead
of the dummy console) a "simple" video console driver supporting font
operations (such as vgacon) until a more specific driver (such as i915) takes
the console over. While this is happening vgacon is deactivated and temporarly
replaced by the dummy console [2].
There are also other cases where systemd-vconsole-setup might be called on
dummy console especially during (very) early boot. Indeed
systemd-vconsole-setup.service might be pulled in by early interactive services
such as 'dracut-cmdline-ask.service` which is run before udev.
If that happens on platforms with no grapical HWs (such as embedded ARM) or
with dummy console initially installed until a driver takes over (like Xen and
xen-fbfront) then setting font will fail.
Therefore this patch downgrades the log message emitted when setting font fails
to LOG_DEBUG and when font operations is not implemented like it's the case for
the dummy console.
Fixes: #16406.

Switching to K_UNICODE from other than L_XLATE can make the keyboard
unusable and possibly leak keypresses from X.

If the terminal is in graphical mode, the kernel will refuse to copy the fonts
and will return -EINVAL.
Also having the graphical mode in effect probably indicates that the terminal
is in used by another application and we shouldn't interfer in such cases.
Similar to the previous commit: in many cases no further fd processing
needs to be done in forked of children before execve() or any of its
flavours are called. In those case we can use FORK_RLIMIT_NOFILE_SAFE
instead.
