c8384fd528 std-aux: use _nm_strerror_r
The function strerror_r returns an int per POSIX spec, but GNU version
returns char *. Using it fails the compilation in Alpine, so use
_nm_strerror_r instead that handles both cases.

4393b37686 nm-version: set API_VERSION with MICRO+1 (temporary)
In the past, stable branches used odd micro numbers as development micro
version. Because of that, NM_API_VERSION was defined with MICRO+1 so we
don't get warnings during development.

As we stopped using odd micro=devel it is wrong to set MICRO+1 on odd
releases. Final users of 1.52.3 has NM_API_VERSION 1.52.4.

However, during development we need to have MICRO+1. For example, if we
are working on top of 1.52.3 towards the next 1.52.4, we define new
symbols with NM_AVAILABLE_IN_1_52_4. Because of that, we get compilation
failures until we finally bump to 1.52.4, just before the release. The
CI remains red until then, potentially missing many bugs.

For now, just set MICRO+1 all the time. It is wrong, but it was wrong
half of the time anyway, and at least we'll have a green CI until we
implement a definitive solution.

4587832735 libnm: add function to copy a certificate or key as user
Add a new public function nm_utils_copy_cert_as_user() to libnm. It
reads a certificate or key file on behalf of the given user and writes
it to a directory in /run/NetworkManager. It is useful for VPN plugins
that run as root and need to verify that the user owning the
connection (the one listed in the connection.permissions property) can
access the file.

(certificates, keys) of private connections in a safe way
(i.e. checking user permissions), or that it doesn't need to read any

9bc4d62680 core,libnm-core: introduce property flag for certificate and keys
If we add a new property in the future and it references a certificate
or key stored on disk, we need to also implement the logic to verify
the access to the file for private connections.

Add a new property flag NM_SETTING_PARAM_CERT_KEY_FILE to existing
certificate and key properties, so that it's easier to see that they
need special treatment. Also add some assertions to verify that the
properties with the flag are handled properly.

While at it, move the enumeration of private-files to the settings.

f08ee617b9 core: pass certificates as blobs to supplicant for private connections
In case of private connections, the device has already read the
certificates and keys content from disk, validating that the owner of
the connection has access to them. Pass those files as blobs to the
supplicant so that it doesn't have to read them again from the
filesystem, creating the opportunity for TOCTOU bugs.

399d7be771 core: add functions to read private files of connections
Add function nm_utils_read_private_files(). It can be used to read a
list of paths as the given user. It spawns the daemon-helper to read
each path and returns asynchronously a hash table containing the files
content.

Also add nm_utils_get_connection_private_files_paths() to return a
list of file paths referenced in a connection. The function currently
returns only 802.1x file paths for certificates and keys.

7acf70dfb9 core: support returning binary output from the daemon helper
The full output of the daemon helper is added to a NMStrBuf, without
interpreting it as a string (that is, without stopping at the first
NUL character).

However, when we retrieve the content from the NMStrBuf we assume it's
a string. This is fine for certain commands that expect a string
output, but it's not for other commands as the read-file-as-user one.

Add a new argument to nm_utils_spawn_helper() to specify whether the
output is binary or not. Also have different finish functions
depending on the return type.

4f3597448d supplicant: remove blobs before adding new ones
When connecting, we add the blobs to the Interface object of the
supplicant. Those blobs are not removed on disconnect and so when we
try to add blobs with the same id, the supplicant returns an error.

Make sure we start from a clean slate on each connection attempt, by
deleting all existing blobs. Probably we should also delete the added
blobs on disconnect, but that's left for a future improvement.

2a264ee841 ip: shared: stop using the global forwarding
As we introduced the ipv4.forwarding property in a8a2e6d727 ('ip-config:
Support configuring per-device IPv4 sysctl forwarding option'), we must
not enable or disable the global forwarding setting in the kernel, as it
affects to all the devices, maybe forcing them to behave in a way
different to what the user requested in ipv4.forwarding.

Instead, we need to selectively enable or disable the per-device forwarding
settings. Specifically, only devices activated with ipv4.forwarding=auto
must have their forwarding enabled or disabled depending on shared
connections. Devices with yes/no must not be affected by shared connections.

Also, devices with ipv4.forwarding=auto must get the proper forwarding value
on activation, but also change it when shared connections appear or
disappear dynamically. Use the new sharing-ipv4-change signal from
nm_manager to achieve it.

d8e3561eaf manager: add sharing-ipv4-changed signal
This signal notifies about the "sharing state", that's it, when there
is at least one shared connection active or not. Each device informs
to nm_manager when a shared connection is activated or deactivated
and nm_manager emits this signal when the first shared connection is
activated or the last one is deactivated.

For now we're only interested in IPv4 forwarding as it's the only one
that we need to track from nm_device (in following commits).

edf0dd2901 ip: restore IP forwarding on device deconfiguration
With the ipv4.forwarding property we may modify the forwarding sysctl of

connection is shared, instead of modifying the global forwarding.

Restore the forwarding value to the default one when the device is
deconfigured for any reason.

11482237e4 core: rename unmanaged flag SLEEPING->MANAGER_DISABLED
The flag is used for both sleeping and networking disabled conditions.
This is because internally they share logic, but it's not obvious for
users and it has caused confusion in the past when investigating why
devices didn't become managed. Make it explicit that it can be because
of either reason.

It would be better to create two separate flags, actually, and it
doesn't seem complex, but better not to risk introducing bugs for that
little benefit.

  device (enp4s0): state change: disconnected -> unmanaged (reason 'unmanaged-sleeping' ...

51fc8af385 core: rename NM_STATE_ASLEEP to NM_STATE_DISABLED
When we do `nmcli networking off` it's shown as state "sleeping". This
is confusing, and the only reason is that we share internally code to
handle both situations in a similar way.

Rename the state to the more generic name "disabled", situation that can
happen either because of sleeping or networking off.

Clients cannot differentiate the exact reason only with the NMState value,
but better that they show "network off" as this is the most common reason
that they will be able to display. If the system is suspending, there will
be only a short period of time that they can show the state, and showing
"network off" is not wrong because that's what NM has done as a response
to suspend.

In the logs, let's make explicit the exact reason why state is changing
to DISABLED: sleeping or networking off.

Logs before:
  manager: disable requested (sleeping: no  enabled: yes)
  manager: NetworkManager state is now ASLEEP

Logs after:
  manager: disable requested (sleeping: no  enabled: yes)
  manager: NetworkManager state is now DISABLED (NEWORKING OFF)

State before:
  $ nmcli general
  STATE  ...
  asleep ...

State after:
  $ nmcli general
  STATE       ...
  network off ...

6f454c98a9 device: add support for reapplying the sriov.vfs property
Adds support for reapplying the `sriov.vfs` property. Note this
does not include `num_vfs`, as the configuration needs to be reset
and reconfigured from scratch in that case.

Previously, if an existing VF is modified (e.g. if we change the `trust`
flag), we reset all VF configurations, and started from scratch. But in
some cases, this is unnecessarily disruptive.

8326cc32d6 ovs: don't remove unrelated external ports
The commit linked below introduced a bug that caused that OVS ports
added externally to NM are always deleted when we delete any OVS
interface. It affects to all externally added ports, including those
that are not related to the deleted interface and even those in
different OVS bridges.

Fix it by only modifying ports and bridges that are ascendants of the
deleted interface, leaving everything else untouched.

Note that bridges and ports still need to have at least one NM-managed
interface, otherwise they will also be purged. For example, an NM-owned
OVS bridge with 2 ports+iface, one NM-owned and one external: if we
delete the NM-owned iface, both ports and the bridge will be deleted.
For now, this is a known limitation that is not being fixed here.

dff8f43adf initrd: support setting the DHCP client-id
In some cases it is necessary to set a custom DHCP client-id during
early boot. For example, the firmware of some InfiniBand NIC uses a
48-bit MAC derived from the InfiniBand 20-byte MAC when doing
PXE. NetworkManager doesn't have any knowledge of that 48-bit MAC and
uses the full MAC as client-id, therefore getting a different lease.

Introduce a new option 'rd.net.dhcp.client-id' to specify a custom
client-id.

2de3de0c28 core: keep empty groups from keyfile configs
When reading NetworkManager.conf and NetworkManager-intern.conf we might
need to know if a group is defined or not, even if it's empty. This is
the case, for example, for [global-dns]. If [global-dns] is defined in
NM.conf overwrites the config from NM-intern, and if it's defined in any
of them they overwrite the configs from connections.

Before this patch, defining it as an empty group was ignored:
```
[global-dns]
```

Instead, it was necessary to add at least one key-value to the group.
Otherwise the group was silently ignored.
```
[global-dns]
searches=
```

Keep empty groups so we can take better decissions about overwritting
configs from other sources.

58e776c3a8 core: dns: show in D-Bus if [global-dns] is defined but empty
Clients like nmstate needs to know if the [global-dns] section is
defined or not, so they know if DNS configs from connections are
relevant or not. Expose it in D-Bus by always exposing "searches"
and "options" if it's defined, maybe as empty lists.

f92a2bfd1f dns: make [global-dns] to overwrite configs from connections
According to the documentation, settings from [global-dns] (searches and
options) are always merged with those from connections. However this was
not happening if no [global-dns-domain-*] exists, in which case
connections were ignored. This happened because in the past both global
sections must de defined or undefined. When this was changed to allow
defining only [global-dns], allowing it in the function that generates
the resolv.conf file was forgotten. Fix that now.

Anyway, merging these configs doesn't make much sense. The searches and
options defined in connections probably make sense only for the nameservers
defined in that same connection.

Because of this, make the following change: if global nameservers are
defined, use searches and options from [global-dns] only, because those
defined in connections may not make sense for the global nameservers. If
[global-dns] is missing, assume an empty [global-dns] section.

Also, if no global nameservers are defined, but [global-dns] is, make
that it overwrites the searches and options defined in connections. This
is not ideal, but none of the alternatives is better and at least this
is easy to remember.

So, the resulting rules from above are:
- If [global-dns] is defined, it always overwrite searches and options
  from connections.
- If [global-dns-domain-*] is defined, it always overwrite nameservers
  from connections. It overwrites searches and options too.

48eae2e76d core: dbus: accept global DNS configuration without a default domain
Since 1.44 we accept a global-dns section without any global-dns-domain
section, so users can define searches and options without defining any
global DNS servers.

When set from the D-Bus API it was still rejected. Fix it.
