When used in an initramfs, it's expected that the hwdb.bin file is
not present (it makes for a very large initramfs otherwise).
While it's nice to tell the user about this, as it's not strictly
speaking an error we really shouldn't be so forceful in our
reporting.
(cherry picked from commit 8232e39e7c)
In some cases it is preferable to ship system images with a pre-generated
binary hwdb database, to avoid having to build it at runtime, avoid shipping
the source hwdb files, or avoid storing large binary files in /etc.
So if hwdb.bin does not exist in /etc/udev/, fall back to looking for it in
UDEVLIBEXECDIR. This keeps the possibility to add files to /etc/udev/hwdb.d/
and re-generating the database which trumps the one in /usr/lib.
Add a new --usr flag to "udevadm hwdb --update" which puts the database
into UDEVLIBEXECDIR.
Adjust systemd-udev-hwdb-update.service to not generate the file in /etc if we
already have it in /usr.
If a device does not have a major/minor number attached, we use different
database names than if it does. On "change" events, we didn't copy the
devnum over, therefore, we used different paths than on 'add' or 'remove'
events (where devnum was properly copied).
Fix this by always copying the devnum into the udev-device.

This extends the udev parser to support OP_REMOVE (-=) and adds support
for TAG-= to remove previously set tags. We don't fail if the tag didn't
exist.
This is pretty handy if we ship default rules for seat-assignments and
users want to exclude specific devices from that. They can easily add
rules that drop any automatically added "seat" tags again.
We have a bunch of reports from people who have a custom kernel and
are confused why udev is not running. Issue a warning on
error. Barring an error in the code, the only error that is possible
is ENOSYS.

Cases where name_to_handle_at is used allocated the full struct to be
MAX_HANDLE_SZ, and assigned this size to handle_bytes. This is wrong
since handle_bytes should describe the length of the flexible array
member and not the whole struct.
Define a union type which includes sufficient padding to allow
assignment of MAX_HANDLE_SZ to be correct.
The way the kernel namespaces have been implemented breaks assumptions
udev made regarding uevent sequence numbers. Creating devices in a
namespace "steals" uevents and its sequence numbers from the host. It
confuses the "udevadmin settle" logic, which might block until util a
timeout is reached, even when no uevent is pending.
Remove any assumptions about sequence numbers and deprecate libudev's
API exposing these numbers; none of that can reliably be used anymore
when namespaces are involved.
In trying to track down a stupid linker bug, I noticed a bunch of
memset() calls that should be using memzero() to make it more "obvious"
that the options are correct (i.e. 0 is not the length, but the data to
set). So fix up all current calls to memset(foo, 0, length) to
memzero(foo, length).
Uevents are events of the host, which should not leak into a container.
Containers do not support hotplug at the moment, and devices and uevents
are not namespace aware.
Clang is a bit more strict wrt format-nonliterals:
http://clang.llvm.org/docs/LanguageExtensions.html#format-string-checking
Adding these extra printf attributes also makes gcc able to find more
problems. E.g. this patch uncovers a format issue in udev-builtin-path_id.c
Some parts looked intetional about breaking the format-nonliteral check.
I added some supression for warnings there.
Returning anything else but NULL would suggest the caller's reference
might still be valid, but it isn't, because the caller just invoked
_unref() after all.
This turns the return value into a typesafe shortcut that allows
unreffing and resetting a reference in one line. In contrast to
solutions for this which take a pointer to a pointer to accomplish the
same this solution is just syntactic sugar the developer can make use of
but doesn't have to, and this is particularly useful when immediately
unreffing objects returned by function calls.
This extends 62678ded 'efi: never call qsort on potentially
NULL arrays' to all other places where qsort is used and it
is not obvious that the count is non-zero.
In the process, rename udev_encode_string which is poorly named for what
it does. It deals specifically with encoding names that udev creates and
has its own rules: utf8 is valid but some ascii is not (e.g. path
separators), and everything else is simply escaped. Rename it to
encode_devnode_name.
