Most callers would pass FALSE to nm_utils_error_is_cancelled(). That's
not very useful. Split the two functions and have nm_utils_error_is_cancelled()
and nm_utils_error_is_cancelled_is_disposing().
curl_multi_setopt() accepts CURLMOPT_* options, not CURLOPT_*
ones. Found by GCC 10:

We should use the same "is-valid" function everywhere.
Since nm_utils_ipaddr_valid() is part of libnm, it does not qualify.
Use nm_utils_ipaddr_is_valid() instead.
and _nm_utils_inet6_ntop() instead of nm_utils_inet6_ntop().
nm_utils_inet4_ntop()/nm_utils_inet6_ntop() are public API of libnm.
For one, that means they are only available in code that links with
libnm/libnm-core. But such basic helpers should be available everywhere.
Also, they accept NULL as destination buffers. We keep that behavior
for potential libnm users, but internally we never want to use the
static buffers. This patch needs to take care that there are no callers
of _nm_utils_inet[46]_ntop() that pass NULL buffers.
Also, _nm_utils_inet[46]_ntop() are inline functions and the compiler
can get rid of them.
We should consistently use the same variant of the helper. The only
downside is that the "good" name is already taken. The leading
underscore is rather ugly and inconsistent.
Also, with our internal variants we can use "static array indices in
function parameter declarations" next. Thereby the compiler helps
to ensure that the provided buffers are of the right size.

After a user entered a secret it would get stored in the readline
history data structure (in plain text) and eventually get leaked.
This commit instructs readline to not store any secret in its
history and fixes a non-related memory leak.
The abbreviations "ns" and "ms" seem not very clear to me. Spell them
out to nsec/msec. Also, in parts we already used the longer abbreviations,
so it wasn't consistent.
This will be necessary to sort a list of text that contains text to
replace. The use case is to get all UUIDs from the server, but some
of these UUIDs are dynamic. So, in order to have a fixed sort order,
we need to handle sorting the list, based on the replacement.
We want to issue a nmcli command with the connection's UUID in the command
line. As the command line is stored to disk and compared, we cannot use UUIDs
that are randomly generated. Instead, we need to support replacing the text
in the command line.
The variable name should say what it is, not what it is used for.
E.g. we would use the very same replacements for stderr. Rename
so that it can (by its name) used for different purposes.
LLMNR and mDNS settings can have their global default value configured
in "NetworkManager.conf".
Global default values should work the way that all regular values of the property
can be configured explicitly in the connection profile. The special "default" value
only indicates to allow lookup of the global default, but it should not have a
meaning of its own.
Note that if mDNS/LLMNR settings are left unspecified, we will set the
argument to SetLinkMulticastDNS() and SetLinkLLMNR() functions to "",
which means that systemd-resolved decides on a default. Also, depending
on the DNS plugin, the default value differs. This is all fine however.
In this case, the ultimate default value depends on other things (like
the DNS plugin), but each possible value is in fact explicitly
configurable. We also do that for "ipv6.ip6-privacy".
Anyway, cleanup the documentation a bit and try to better explain what
the default is.
This avoids unnecessarily fetching permissions, which are not needed
most of the time.
During `nmcli general permissions` we require to fetch the permissions. This is
now solved better, because previously the code waited for any permissions to be
not UNKNOWN. That was a hack, because there are cases where all permissions would
be UNKNOWN (hidepid mount option) and nmcli would hang.
There is a downside too: for `nmcli general permissions` we now first
need to wait for NMClient to initialize, before starting to fetch
permissions. Previously, we would call GetPermissions() in parallel
with initializing NMClient. It now takes longer.
That should be fixed be refactoring the code in nmcli to not wait for
NMClient to be fully initialized, before requesting the permissions.
Using sync init (nm_client_new()) has an overhead as it requires an internal
GMainContext to ensure preserving the order of D-Bus messages. Let's avoid
that by using the async init. Note that the difference here is that we will
iterate the caller's GMainContext while creating the instance. But that
is no problem for nmtui at that point.
For example with
mount -o remount,rw,hidepid=1 /proc/
all permission checks will fail with an error. Internally, we map the
failure to NM_AUTH_CALL_RESULT_UNKNOWN.
<trace> [1575645672.5958] auth: call[1069]: CheckAuthorization(org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.enable-disable-connectivity-check), subject=unix-process[pid=468316, uid=1000, start=1912881]

<debug> [1575645672.6296] manager: unknown auth chain result 0
First of all, we should not log a debug message about that (we already log the
result of permission checks separately).
Also, we should include the unknown result in the response. The permission was
checked, and omitting it from GetPermissions() result seems wrong (even if we
failed to get the result).
Note that "unknown" is now a new possible return value on D-Bus. But
see how nm_permission_result_to_client() would map such a value to
"unknown" as well. So, it's probably a fine extension of the D-Bus API.
Note that NMClient API is currently quite limited. The user won't know
whether permissions were received (and if they were received, they
could not distinguish between UNKNOWN and absent). Hence, returning
all permissions as unknown (or not at all) causes `nmcli general permissions`
to hang. The solution here is to improve NMClient API to allow the user
to know when the permissions are received. But this patch doesn't
fix the hanging of nmcli nor the limitation of NMClient's API.
"nm-cloud-setup" can by configured via environment variables. Mark all the
names of such variables with NMCS_ENV_VARIABLE() macro. This allows to grep
for them.
"nm-cloud-setup" is supposed to work without configuration.
However, it (obviously) fetches data from the network you are connected to (which
might be untrusted or controlled by somebody malicious). The tool cannot
protect you against that, also because the meta data services uses HTTP and not
HTTPS. It means, you should run the tool only when it's suitable for your
environment, that is: in the right cloud.
Usually, the user/admin/distributor would know for which cloud the enable the tool.
It's also wasteful to repeatedly probe for the unavailable cloud.
So, instead disable all providers by default and require to opt-in by setting an
environment variable.
This can be conveniently done via `systemctl edit nm-cloud-provider.service` to
set Environment=. Of course, a image can also pre-deploy such am override file.
We don't want that when the user installs the package, that the
dispatcher script automatically executes the tool. Instead, the user
should use `systemctl enable/disable` to control whether the service
is active (of via the timer).
Hence, let the dispatcher script check whether the service is enabled.
That leads to a different problem, that we need to make it possible for
"nm-cloud-setup.service" to be enabled in the first place. As such, add
a [Install] section and let it be wanted by NetworkManager.service. The
problem with this is that now the tool will run very early, just after
NetworkManager started. At that point, it might not yet have setup
networking. But that should be acceptable, after all, the tool either
fails to fetch meta data that early, or it succeeds. Very likely, it
will by aborted by dispatcher's restart command.
