Add hidden command line option --run-from-build-dir; with that, helpers
like nm-avahi-autoipd.action and nm-dhcp-helper will be called from the
build tree instead of libexecdir, which allows testing without having to
install first.
Helper paths are now stored in global variables instead of macros, and
get modified with that new option.

Add single-letter options for --version, --no-daemon, --debug, and
--pid-file (and document them, as well as the existing single-letter
option for --help).

When run with --no-daemon, NM used to duplicate all syslog output to
stderr, for ease of debugging. But this meant it had to tell systemd
to ignore stderr, so you wouldn't get duplicated log entries. But that
meant we lost error messages that didn't go through nm_log. (eg,
g_warning()s and g_return_if_fail()s).
Fix this by making --no-daemon no longer duplicate syslog output to
stderr, and removing the "StandardError=null" from the systemd service
file. To get the old behavior, you can use --debug instead of
--no-daemon.

And change src/main.c to use the local allocation macros. This
results in much cleaner code, as one can see from the diff.
Because libgsystem is designed for nonrecursive make, it fits best in
the current recursive setup if we build . first. This will be a lot
nicer when we switch NM to a nonrecursive setup.
Create the new nm-platform framework and implement link (or interface)
management. The nm-platform serves as the point of contact between
the rest of NetworkManager and the operating system.
There are two backends for nm-platform:
* NMFakePlatform: Fake kernel backend for testing purposes
* NMLinuxPlatform: Linux kernel backend for actual use
A comprehensive testsuite is included and will be extended with new
feature additions. To enable the Linux part of the testsuite, use
--enable-tests=root configure options and run 'make check' as root.
Use --enable-code-coverage for code coverage support.
./autogen.sh --enable-tests=root --enable-code-coverage
make
make -C src/platform check-code-coverage
Link features:
* Retrieve the list of links
* Translate between indexes and names
* Discover device type
* Add/remove dummy interfaces (for testing)
Thanks to Thomas Graf for helping with libnl3 synchronization issues.
For cases where NM may run without a bus daemon in root-only
environments, like an initramfs. For disconnection, since private
connection just get a disconnect message instead of NameOwnerChanged
signals broadcast by a bus daemon, just synthesize the NameOwnerChanged
signals using our fake owner name. It's just easier to do this rather
than modify any code that cares about disconnects.
Note that the new private socket is only enabled if built with
dbus-glib >= 0.100 as there are bugs in previous versions in the
implementation of dbus_g_proxy_new_for_peer() which clients must
use to talk to the private socket.
Most of the various nm_foo_manager_get/new() calls never return NULL,
so just g_assert() that fact rather than logging a separate error
message for each one.
Rather than passing specific bits of data to NMDHCPManager and
NMDnsManager, just let them call nm_config_get() and then get the data
themselves.
Also, remove the GError argument from nm_dhcp_manager_new(), since the
function never returned NULL. This in turn means there is no longer
any need for a distinction between nm_dhcp_manager_new() and
nm_dhcp_manager_get(), so remove the former.
Rather than having main.c parse them and then hand them all to
nm_config_new(), just let nm-config provide its own GOptionEntry
array to merge in with main's.
g_malloc(), etc, never return NULL, by API contract. Likewise, by
extension, no other glib function ever returns NULL due to lack of
memory. So remove lots of unnecessary checks (the vast majority of
which would have immediately crashed had they ever run anyway, since
g_set_error(), g_warning(), and nm_log_*() all need to allocate
memory).

Modern operating systems come with systemwide "crash catching"
facilities; for example, the Linux kernel can now pipe core dumps out
to userspace, and programs like "systemd-coredump" and "abrt" record
these.
In this model, it's actively counterproductive for individual
processes to catch SIGSEGV because:
1) Trying to unwind from inside the process after arbitrary
corruption is destined to fail.
2) It hides the fact that a crash happened at all - my OS test
framework wants to know if any process crashed, and I don't
want to guess by running regexps against /var/log/Xorg.0.log
or whatever.

For OSTree/gnome-ostree, the model chosen for /var is that services
are responsible for creating any data they need in /var at runtime.
Call g_mkdir_with_parents() to ensure NMSTATEDIR exists.

Based on Colin Walters' patch.
Use autoconf/automake variables for NetworkManager paths. Use
NetworkManager subdirectory where appropriate.
Files in /var/run (or /run on some distros) are moved into a separate
directory as is usual with other daemons. It makes the filesystem
more readable and file prefixing unnecessary.
/var/run/NetworkManager.pid -> /var/run/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.pid
/var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.pid -> /var/run/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.pid
/var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf -> /var/run/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.conf
The /var/run/NetworkManager directory is created at runtime, if it doesn't
exist.
Note: Path-based security policies like SELinux and AppArmor may need to
be adapted.
See http://git.gnome.org/browse/libgsystem/tree/README
for a description of libgsystem.
What we specifically are using it for here is the local allocation
macros; this patch just modifies main.c as a demo.
Note this patch fixes a double-free in an error condition in
check_pidfile(); those sort of mistakes are basically impossible
to make when using these macros.
We don't need to use distribution-specific network scripts to just bring
up the loopback interface.
I'm not aware of any init dependency problems but even if there are some,
it is more practical to solve them in the respective configuration files.
This function also tried to add 127.0.0.1 to the list of addresses but
not ::1. We don't need to set the interfaces up as this is done by the
kernel.
If we mask signals before daemonizing, the daemon process will not be
able to handle them, and thus would be unkillable with anything other
than SIGKILL.
Commit 217c5bf6ac fixed processing of unix
signals: signals are blocked in all threads and a dedicated thread handles the
signals using sigwait().
However, the commit forgot that child processes inherit signal mask as well.
That is why we have to unblock signals for child processes we spawn from NM, so
that they can receive signals.
Now that we've encountered this twice with distros disabling WEXT
but apparently not realizing it kills staging and out-of-kernel
drivers like wl.o, make it a log message so we don't have to go
hunting for build-time logfiles.
* use libsoup to compare a http response from a given
uri with a given response (use g_str_has_prefix () to compare)
* do periodically check the connectivity. Check interval is configurable
* check connectivity when device state change

src/firewall-manager tracks whether firewall is on the bus or not.
In nm-device.c at stage5 (ip-config-commit) before we actually
apply the IP configuration to the interface, we send the
IP interface name and zone to firewall and asynchronously wait
for a D-Bus reply. Then after we get the reply
(or if the firewall isn't running) we proceed with
applying the IP configuration to the interface.
