Before introducing the hostname lookup via nm-daemon-helper and
systemd-resolved, we used GLib's GResolver which internally relies on
the libc resolver and generally also returns results from /etc/hosts.
With the new mechanism we only ask to systemd-resolved (with
NO_SYNTHESIZE) or perform the lookup via the "dns" NSS module. In both
ways, /etc/hosts is not evaluated.
Since users relied on having the hostname resolved via /etc/hosts,
restore that behavior. Now, after trying the resolution via
systemd-resolved and the "dns" NSS module, we also try via the "files"
NSS module which reads /etc/hosts.
Fixes: 27eae4043b ('device: add a nm_device_resolve_address()')
Introduce a new argument to specify a comma-separated list of NSS
services to use for the "resolve-address" command. For now only accept
"dns" and "files"; the latter can be used to do a lookup into
/etc/hosts.
Note that previously the command failed in presence of extra
arguments. Therefore, when downgrading NetworkManager without
restarting the service, the previously-installed version of the daemon
(newer) would spawn the helper with the extra argument, and the
newly-installed version of the helper (older) would fail. This issue
only impacts hostname resolution and can be fixed by just restarting
the daemon.
In the upgrade path everything works as before, with the only
difference that the helper will use by default both "dns" and "files"
services.
Don't strictly check for the absence of extra arguments, so that in
the future we can introduce more arguments without necessarily break
the downgrade path.
When ModemManager become available, NetworkManager resets
GDBusObjectManagerClient object.
But there is a race condition if object-added is emitted before
modm_ensure_manager(), we need to check existing objects if we want to be
in sync with ModemManager.

Also check for gateway equality when deduplicate routing entries. This
allows to support multiple routes to the same network using different
gateways. This is useful for Thread networks where multiple BRs route
to the same Thread network. If one of these BRs go offline, fallback to
a different router will be much quicker if multiple entries are present.
Note that quick fallback to a different router requires IPv6
reachability probe to be active. Typically Linux disables reachability
probes on Linux machines which act as IPv6 gateway (when forwarding is
enabled).
It might happen that write() returns -1, but the errno is not EINTR.
In that case, the length would be incremented by 1, and the data pointer
to the data being written would be moved back by 1 byte on every error.
Make it so that the function exits with an error if it indicates an error.

Useful to have easily accessible the info of all the distros that we
test, including the version of NM that they ship and their EOL dates so
we can know when to stop testing them.
For now this is only informative, but we can use this info, for example,
to generate the `.gitlab-ci/config.yml` file automatically for each
stable branch.
When the lease expires, the DHCP client emits a LEASE_UPDATE event
with a NULL l3cd. After returning from the handler, it sends
immediately a DHCP DISCOVER message to try to get a new lease.
It is important that when the DISCOVER gets sent the address is no
longer configured on the interface. Otherwise, the server could see
that it is already in use and assign a different one. Therefore,
remove the address synchronously when handling the event.

Currently, when the agent manager is sent a registration request
containing UTF-8 characters, it will form an invalid error message
using only one of the bytes from the UTF-8 sequence, which causes
an assertion in glib to fail, which replaces the returned error message
with "[Invalid UTF-8]". It will also print an assertion failure to the
console, or crash NetworkManager on non-release builds.
This commit makes it so that it instead prints out the character in
hexadecimal form if it isn't normally printable, so that it is once
again a valid UTF-8 string.

A signal handler is not the only place where we need to clean up after
an in-progress readline() on exit; we may do so when erroring out as
well:
Before (not also the missing line break, which is part of the cleanup):
$ (sleep 10; nmcli c del 'Red Hat Wi-Fi')
$ nmcli --ask d wifi connect 'Red Hat Wi-Fi'
Passwords or encryption keys are required to access the wireless network 'Red Hat Wi-Fi'.
Password (802-11-wireless-security.psk): Error: Connection activation failed: The device's active connection disappeared.
$ [terminal messed up, no echo]
After:
$ (sleep 10; nmcli c del 'Red Hat Wi-Fi')
$ nmcli --ask d wifi connect 'Red Hat Wi-Fi'
Passwords or encryption keys are required to access the wireless network 'Red Hat Wi-Fi'.
Password (802-11-wireless-security.psk):
Error: Connection activation failed: The device's active connection disappeared.

We currently submit builds to Coverity manually every now and then,
but it would make sense to submit them more frequently and periodically,
so that it can detect defects sooner.
Add a "coverity" stage to the pipeline, which submits a build to Coverit
(the scheduls currently set to run every week).

In the future we might want to specify filters when requesting netlink
dumps; this requires that strict check is enabled on the socket.
When enabling strict check, we need to pass a full struct in the
netlink message, otherwise kernel ignores it.
This commit doesn't change behavior.
Adds an option in the connectivity section to change the timeout before
the interface is deemed "limited". Previously, it was hardcoded to
20 seconds, but for our usecase (failing over to cell modem if
hardwired ethernet drops), it's nice to be able to failover to another
interface more quickly.
The OVS interface can be matched via MAC address; in that case, the
"connection.interface-name" property of the connection is empty.
When populating the ovsdb, we need to pass the actual interface name
from the device, not the one from the connection.

https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-34617
Currently, the Dockerfile expects /etc/systemd/journald.conf to exist on the base container,
but sometimes this may not be the case, for example on Fedora 40, which causes
the build process to fail if the host machine is also running Fedora 40.
Update the dockerfile to create a conf.d file instead, which has higher precedence.

The comment makes it sounds as if we could do without CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE
if we don't use OpenVSwitch, which is not true. At the very least it's
needed by the VPN plugins we spawn to access cert/key material from
users' homes.
For [connection*] and [device*] sections, any suffix is allowed in
the group.
However (at least for configuration snippets we ship upstream), we
want to give a suffix that matches the name of the configuration
snippet.
It seems more common to use [connection-*] instead of [connection.].
See also "examples/nm-conf.d/*.conf" and "15-carrier-timeout.conf" file
which contains a [device-15-carrier-timeout] section.
Note that this file (in Fedora) is not configuration (installed in
/usr/lib). It is thus not problematic to modify.

The group interface is only used during activation; there is no need
to add a pending action for it, because when the device is in
activating state it already delays "startup-complete" via other
pending actions.
