When only one of those connection.{lldp,mdns,llmnr,dns-over-tls}
settings changes, we still need to do a full restart of the IP
configuration to reapply the changes.

Heavily inspired by systemd ([1]).
We now also have nm_random_get_bytes{,_full}() and
nm_random_get_crypto_bytes(), like systemd's random_bytes()
and crypto_random_bytes(), respectively.
Differences:
- instead of systemd's random_bytes(), our nm_random_get_bytes_full()
also estimates whether the output is of high quality. The caller
may find that interesting. Due to that, we will first try to call
getrandom(GRND_NONBLOCK) before getrandom(GRND_INSECURE). That is
reversed from systemd's random_bytes(), because we want to find
out whether we can get good random numbers. In most cases, kernel
should have entropy already, and it makes no difference.
Otherwise, heavily rework the code. It should be easy to understand
and correct.
There is also a major bugfix here. Previously, if getrandom() failed
with ENOSYS and we fell back to /dev/urandom, we would assume that we
have high quality random numbers. That assumption is not warranted.
Now instead poll on /dev/random to find out.

sysfs is deprecated and kernel people will not add new bond options to
sysfs. Netlink is a stable API and therefore is the right method to
communicate with kernel in order to set the link options.
The devices generally need to be IFF_UP and wait a little before the
carrier detection is reliable. Some devices, actually need to wait
more than a little -- r8169 needs up to 5 seconds.
For this reason, we delay startup complete while the carrier is down
after we bring the device up. We do this so that we don't reject
activations due to carrier down until we're sure it's really down.
This works well as long as it's us who brought the device up.
If we're restarting the daemon, the device is going to be already up
when we start up the daemon for the second time. There's, however, a
slim chance that the device was brought down and up very shortly before
the restart and therefore the carrier reporting is still not reliable.
As a matter of fact, we bring the devices down and back up on some
occassions, such as when enslaving to a team device.
Therefore, the following events in quick succession cause trouble:
# nmcli con up team-slave-eth0

[20099.833457] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: Link is Down
[20099.838471] nm-team: Port device eth0 added
The device has been brought down, enslaved and brought up.
"Link is Down" indicates carrier not being detected.
Connection successfully activated (D-Bus active path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/7)
# systemctl restart NetworkManager
Now NM sees the device being up, but carrier down.
# nmcli con up testeth0
Error: Connection activation failed: No suitable device found for this connection (...).
Activation failed, because eth0 carrier still appears down.
# [20102.943464] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: Link is Up - 1Gbps/Full - flow control rx/tx
Now it's up, but the party is already over. Shiet.
Let's wait whenever the device reaches unavailable state, whether we
bring it up at that point or not.

NetworkManager primarily manages interfaces in an independent fashion.
That means, whenever possible, we want to have a interface specific
view. In many cases, the underlying kernel API also supports that view.
For example, when configuring IP addresses or unicast routes, we do so
per interfaces and don't need a holistic view.
However, that is not always sufficient. For routing rules and certain
route types (blackhole, unreachable, etc), we need a system wide view
of all the objects in the network namespace.
Originally, NMPRulesManager was added to track routing rules. Then, it
was extended to also track certain route types, and the API was renamed to
NMPRouteManager.
This will also be used to track MPTCP addresses.
So rename again, to give it a general name that is suitable for what it
does. Still, the name is not great (suggestion welcome), but it should
cover the purpose of the API well enough. And it's the best I came
up with.
Rename.
Before 1.36, manual addresses from the profile were assigned to the
interface; restore that behavior.
The manual IP configuration also contains the DNS priority from the
profile; so this change ensures that the merged l3cd has a DNS
priority and that dynamically discovered DNS servers are not ignored
by the DNS manager.
Fixes: 58287cbcc0 ('core: rework IP configuration in NetworkManager using layer 3 configuration')
When creating one profile for each veth during activation the creation
of the veth could fail. When the link for the first profile is created
the link for the peer is generated in kernel. Therefore when trying to
activate the second profile it will fail because the link already
exists. NetworkManager must check if the link already exists and
corresponds to the same veth, if so, it should skip the link creation.

In the past, nmp_lookup_init_object() could both lookup all object for a
certain ifindex, and lookup all objects of a type. That fallback path
already leads to an assertion failure fora while now, so nobody should
be using this function to lookup all objects of a certain type (for
what, we have nmp_lookup_init_obj_type()).
Now, remove the fallback path, and rename the function to what it really
does.
It can be useful to choose a different "ipv6.addr-gen-mode". And it can be
useful to override the default for a set of profiles.
For example, in cloud or in a data center, stable-privacy might not be
the best choice. Add a mechanism to override the default via global defaults
in NetworkManager.conf:
# /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/90-ipv6-addr-gen-mode-override.conf
[connection-90-ipv6-addr-gen-mode-override]
match-device=type:ethernet
ipv6.addr-gen-mode=0
"ipv6.addr-gen-mode" is a special property, because its default depends on
the component that configures the profile.
- when read from disk (keyfile and ifcfg-rh), a missing addr-gen-mode
key means to default to "eui64".
- when configured via D-Bus, a missing addr-gen-mode property means to
default to "stable-privacy".
- libnm's ip6-config::addr-gen-mode property defaults to
"stable-privacy".
- when some tool creates a profile, they either can explicitly
set the mode, or they get the default of the underlying mechanisms
above.
- nm-initrd-generator explicitly sets "eui64" for profiles it creates.
- nmcli doesn' explicitly set it, but inherits the default form
libnm's ip6-config::addr-gen-mode.
- when NM creates a auto-default-connection for ethernet ("Wired connection 1"),
it inherits the default from libnm's ip6-config::addr-gen-mode.
Global connection defaults only take effect when the per-profile
value is set to a special default/unset value. To account for the
different cases above, we add two such special values: "default" and
"default-or-eui64". That's something we didn't do before, but it seams
useful and easy to understand.
Also, this neatly expresses the current behaviors we already have. E.g.
if you don't specify the "addr-gen-mode" in a keyfile, "default-or-eui64"
is a pretty clear thing.
Note that usually we cannot change default values, in particular not for
libnm's properties. That is because we don't serialize the default
values to D-Bus/keyfile, so if we change the default, we change
behavior. Here we change from "stable-privacy" to "default" and
from "eui64" to "default-or-eui64". That means, the user only experiences
a change in behavior, if they have a ".conf" file that overrides the default.

teamdctl_connect() has a parameter cli_type. If unspecified, the
library will try usock, dbus (if enabled) and zmq (if enabled).
Trying to use the unix socket if we expect to use D-Bus can be bad. For
example, it might cause SELinux denials.
As we anyway require libteam to use D-Bus, if D-Bus is available,
explicitly select the cli type.

We have two variants of the function: nm_utils_ip4_netmask_to_prefix()
and _nm_utils_ip4_netmask_to_prefix(). The former only exists because it
is public API in libnm. Internally, only use the latter.
The property wait-activation-delay will delay the activation of an
interface the specified amount of milliseconds. Please notice that it
could be delayed some milliseconds more due to other events in
NetworkManager.
This could be used in multiple scenarios where the user needs to define
an arbitrary delay e.g LACP bond configure where the LACP negotiation
takes a few seconds and traffic is not allowed, so they would like to
use nm-online and a setting configured with this new property to wait
some seconds. Therefore, when nm-online is finished, LACP bond should be
ready to receive traffic.
The delay will happen right before the device is ready to be activated.

When we're deactivating an externally created device that has a master
because we're activating a connection on it, actually remove the device
from the master. Otherwise unpleasant things happen:

Note the "no-config" above. We'set priv->master = NULL, but didn't
communicate the change to the platform. I believe this is not good.
This patch changes that.

Amidst the new activation we're processing the netlink message we got.
We set priv->master back, effectively nullifying the release above. Sad.

Now things go south. The stage1 cleans the device up, removing it from
the master and the device itself decides it should deactivate itself
because it lots its master regardless of the fact that it should not
have one and it's in fact an unwanted carryover from previous activation.
I believe this is also wrong.

We decide to deal with this by enqueuing a deactivation. That is not
great -- we shouldn't even have had this master!
This patch takes the deactivation path only if we were willingly
enslaved to the master in question.
The @bond_mode_8023ad test has been seen failing, with a log like this:

What happened is that eth1 has been activating. It was already enslaved
to a bond and was in an ip-config state when the bond was removed.
A change to "deactivating" state has been enqueued. But then this
happened:

The IP config succeeded and the queued "deactivating" change was
overriden by the IP4 check result, prompting a change to "ip-check".
With the master still missing. Not good.
Let's terminate the appempts to check the IP state when we cancel the
activation, so that it doesn't override the enqueued state change.

pppd also tries to configure addresses by itself through some
ioctls. If we remove between those calls an address that was added,
pppd fails and quits.
To avoid this race condition, don't remove addresses while IPCP and
IPV6CP are running. Once pppd sends an IP configuration, it has
finished configuring the interface and we can proceed normally.

Currently we call nm_device_update_dynamic_ip_setup() in
carrier_changed() every time the carrier goes up again and the device
is activating, to kick a restart of DHCP.
Since we process link events in a idle handler, it can happen that the
handler is called only once for different events; in particular
device_link_changed() might be called once for a link-down/link-up
sequence.
carrier_changed() is "level-triggered" - it cares only about the
current carrier state. nm_device_update_dynamic_ip_setup() should
instead be "edge-triggered" - invoked every time the link goes from
down to up. We have a mechanism for that in device_link_changed(), use
it.

l3cd instances must be removed from the old l3cfg before calling
_cleanup_ip_pre(). Otherwise, _cleanup_ip_pre() unregisters them from
the device, and later _dev_l3_register_l3cds(self, l3cfg_old, FALSE,
FALSE) does nothing because the device doesn't have any l3cd.
Previously the l3cds would linger in the l3cfg, keeping a reference to
it and causing a memory leak; the leak was not detected by valgrind
because the l3cfg was still referenced by the NMNetns.

This was working for internal plugin in the past, but broken by l3cfg
rework with 1.36. Re-add it. Not it also works with dhclient. For other
plugins, it's not really working, because we can't decline.
Now NMDhcpClient does ACD (using NML3Cfg) and abstracts that from
the caller (NMDevice).
It is complicated. Because there is state involved, meaning, we need
to remember the current state for ACD and react on and handle a
multitude of events. Getting this right, is non-trivial.
What we want is that if ACD fails, we decline the lease (and don't use
it).

I think the previous was technically correct in any case too.
Still change it, because I feel with union and struct initialization,
we should always explicitly pick one union member that we fully
initialize.
Introduction of a new setting ipv4.link-local, which enables
link-local IP addresses concurrently with other IP address assignment
implementations such as dhcp or manually.
No way is implemented to obtain a link-local address as a fallback when
dhcp does not respond (as dhcpd does, for example). This could be be
added later.
To maintain backward compatibility with ipv4.method ipv4.link-local has
lower priority than ipv4.method. This results in:
* method=link-local overrules link-local=disabled
* method=disabled overrules link-local=enabled
Furthermore, link-local=auto means that method defines whether
link-local is enabled or disabled:
* method=link-local --> link-local=enabled
* else --> link-local=disabled
The upside is, that this implementation requires no normalization.
Normalization is confusing to implement, because to get it really
right, we probably should support normalizing link-local based on
method, but also vice versa. And since the method affects how other
properties validate/normalize, it's hard to normalize that one, so that
the result makes sense. Normalization is also often not great to the
user, because it basically means to modify the profile based on other
settings.
The downside is that the auto flag becomes API and exists because
we need backward compatibility with ipv4.method.
We would never add this flag, if we would redesign "ipv4.method"
(by replacing by per-method-specific settings).
Defining a default setting for ipv4.link-local in the global
configuration is also supported.
The default setting for the new property can be "default", since old
users upgrading to a new version that supports ipv4.link-local will not
have configured the global default in NetworkManager.conf. Therefore,
they will always use the expected "auto" default unless they change
their configuration.

During the deactivation of ovs interfaces, ovsdb receives the command to
remove the interface but for OVS system ports the device won't
disappear.
When reconnecting, ovsdb will update first the status and it will notice
that the OVS system interface was removed and it will set the status as
DEACTIVATING. This is incorrect if the status is already DEACTIVATING,
DISCONNECTED, UNMANAGED or UNAVAILABLE because it will block the
activation of the interface.

Currently nm_setting_bond_get_option_normalized() and
nm_setting_bond_get_option_or_default() are identical functions. As the
first one is exposed as public API and has a better name, let's drop the
second one.
NM_STR_BUF_INIT() and nm_str_buf_init() were pretty much redundant. Drop one of
them.
Usually our pattern is that we don't have functions that return structs.
But NM_STR_BUF_INIT() returns a struct, because it's convenient to use
with
nm_auto_str_buf NMStrBuf strbuf = NM_STR_BUF_INIT(...);
So use that variant instead.
For some device types the attach-port operation doesn't complete
immediately. NMDevice needs to wait that the operation completes
before proceeding (for example, before starting stage3 for the port).
Change attach_port() so that it can return TERNARY_DEFAULT to indicate
that the operation will complete asynchronously. Most of devices are
not affected by this and can continue returning TRUE/FALSE as before
without callback.
