The Fail method for acquire methods has a boolean parameter indicating
the transient-nature of a reported error. The problem with this is that
Fail is called very late at a point where it is no longer easily
identifiable if an error is indeed transient or not, so some calls were
and some weren't and the acquire system would later mostly ignore the
transient flag and guess by using the FailReason instead.
Introducing a tri-state enum we can pass the information about fatal or
transient errors through the callstack to generate the correct fails.

qemu-user passes prctl()-based seccomp through to the kernel,
umodified. That's bad, as it blocks the wrong syscalls.
We ignored EFAULT which fixed the problem for targets with different
pointer sizes from the host, but was a bad hack. In order to identify
qemu we can rely on the fact that qemu-user prints its version and
exits with 0 if QEMU_VERSION is set to an unsupported value. If we
run a command that should fail in such an environment, and it exits
with 0, then we are running in qemu-user.
apt-helper is an obvious command to run. The tests ensure it exits
with 1, and it only prints usage information. We also could not use
/bin/false because apt might just as well be from a foreign arch
while /bin/false is not.

We sleep in http.cc, so we should allow the sleeping syscalls.

Sorting apparently calls sysconf() which calls sysinfo() to get
free pages or whatever.

This should help debugging crashes. The signal handler is a C++11
lambda, yay! Special care has been taken to only use signal handler
-safe functions inside there.

If seccomp is disabled, we fallback to running without it. Qemu fails
in the seccomp() call, returning ENOSYS and libseccomp falls back to
prctl() without adjusting the pointer, causing the EFAULT. I hope
qemu gets fixed at some point to return EINVAL for seccomp via
prctl.

If FAKED_MODE is set, enable SYSV IPC so we don't crash when
running in fakeroot.

statx was introduced in 4.11, so it fails to build in stretch if
we just unconditionally use it.
|
|
These are a few overlooked syscalls. Also add readv(), writev(),
renameat2(), and statx() in case libc uses them.

This reduces the number of syscalls to about 140 from about
350 or so, significantly reducing security risks.
Also change prepare-release to ignore the architecture lists
in the build dependencies when generating the build-depends
package for travis.
We might want to clean up things a bit more and/or move it
somewhere else.

Opening the file before we drop privileges in the methods allows us to
avoid chowning in the acquire main process which can apply to the wrong
file (imagine Binary scoped settings) and surprises users as their
permission setup is overridden.
There are no security benefits as the file is open, so an evil method
could as before read the contents of the file, but it isn't worse than
before and we avoid permission problems in this setup.

We have support for an netrc-like auth.conf file since 0.7.25 (closing
518473), but it was never documented in apt that it even exists and
netrc seems to have fallen out of usage as a manpage for it no longer
exists making the feature even more arcane.
On top of that the code was a bit of a mess (as it is written in c-style)
and as a result the matching of machine tokens to URIs also a bit
strange by checking for less specific matches (= without path) first.
We now do a single pass over the stanzas.
In practice early adopters of the undocumented implementation will not
really notice the differences and the 'new' behaviour is simpler to
document and more usual for an apt user.

This makes it easier to see which headers includes what.
The changes were done by running
git grep -l '#\s*include' \
| grep -E '.(cc|h)$' \
| xargs sed -i -E 's/(^\s*)#(\s*)include/\1#\2 include/'
To modify all include lines by adding a space, and then running
./git-clang-format.sh.

The implementation of the generic config fallback did the fallback in
the wrong order so that the least specific option wasn't the last value
picked but in fact the first one… doh!
So in the bugreports case http -> https -> http::<hostname> ->
https::<hostname> while it should have been the reverse as before.

The https method implemented for a long while now a hardcoded fallback
to the same options in http, which, while it works, is rather inflexible
if we want to allow the methods to use another name to change their
behavior slightly, like apt-transport-tor does to https – most of the
diff being s#https#tor#g which then fails to do the full circle
fallthrough tor -> https -> http for https sources. With this config
infrastructure this could be implemented now.
|
|
Having the detection handled in specific (http) workers means that a
redirection loop over different hostnames isn't detected. Its also not a
good idea have this implement in each method independently even if it
would work

If we have files in partial/ from a previous invocation or similar such
those could be symlinks created by file:// sources. The code is
expecting only real files through and happily changes owner,
modification times and permission on the file the symlink points to
which tend to be files we have no business in touching in this way.
Permissions of symlinks shouldn't be changed, changing owner is usually
pointless to, but just to be sure we pick the easy way out and use
lchown, check for symlinks before chmod/utimes.

In 8b79c94af7f7cf2e5e5342294bc6e5a908cacabf changing to usage of C++ way
of setting the locale causes us to be terminated in case of usage of an
ungenerated locale as LC_ALL (or similar) – but we don't want to fail
here, we just want to carry on as before with setlocale which we call in
that case just for good measure.
|

We use a wild mixture of C and C++ ways of generating output, so having
a consistent world-view in both styles sounds like a good idea and
should help in preventing regressions.
|
|
This can be used by workers to send warnings to the main
program. The messages will be passed to _error->Warning()
by APT with the URI prepended.
We are not going to make that really public now, as the
interface might change a bit.

Allows users who know what they are getting themselves into with this
trick to e.g. disable privilege dropping for e.g. file:// until they can
fix up the permissions on those repositories. It helps also the test
framework and people with a similar setup (= me) to run in less modified
environments.
|
|
Continueing on the track of dropping privileges in all methods, lets
drop it in copy, too, as the reasoning for it is very similar to file
and the interaction between the too quiet interesting as copy kinda
surfed as a fallback for file not being able to read the file. Both now
show a better error message as well as it was previously claiming to
have a hashsum mismatch, given that it couldn't read the file.
