Add a configure option to disable eBPF support in n-acd.
Note that, even if eBPF is not supported, n-acd requires a kernel >
3.19, which means that the setsockopt(..., SO_ATTACH_BPF) option must
be defined. To allow building on older kernels without modifying the
n-acd code, we inject the SO_ATTACH_BPF value as a preprocessor define
in the compiler the command line.
After 1.14.0 is released, merge it back into master so that
1.14.0 is part of the history of master. That means,
$ git log --first-parent master
will also traverse 1.14.0 and 1.14-rc*.
Also bump the micro version to 1.15.1-dev to indicate that this is
after 1.14.0 is out.
If the user explicitly passes --with-netconfig=$PATH or --with-resolvconf=$PATH,
the path is accepted as is. We only do autodetection, if the binary was not found.
In that case, if the binary cannot be found in the common paths fail compilation.
(cherry picked from commit 5b36585a3d)
Some path variable like $(bindir), $(datadir), etc. are special for
autotools and must be handled separately through config-extra.h.
But dhcp path variables are just normal variables defined through
the configure script and should go into config.h.

dhcpcd version 6, the first supporting IPv6, was released more than 5
years ago. Remove all checks on version number and IPv6 support.

At other places, we already use __BYTE_ORDER define to detect endianness.
We don't need multiple mechanisms.
Also note that meson did not do the correct thing as AC_C_BIGENDIAN,
so meson + nss + big-endian was possibly broken.
If the library is available, let's at least compile both
crypto backends.
That is helpful when developing on crypto backends, so that
one does not have to configure the build twice.
With autotools, the build is only run during `make check`.
Not for meson, but that is generally the case with our meson
setup, that it also builds tests during the regular build step.
- always define the SESSION_TRACKING_* defines to replace
"#ifdef" with "#if".
- drop defining the consolekit database path CKDB_PATH in
config.h. The path was not customizable via configure/meson.
- fix meson build to enable consolekit support for session tracking
without also enabling logind/elogind session tracking.
logind/elogind is mutually exclusive, but consolekit session tracking
goes together just fine.
Using '#ifdef' is generally error prone. It's better to always define
a define and check for it explicitly. This way, the compiler can issue
a warning if the define does not exist.
Also, note how meson would always define NM_MORE_LOGGING, possibly to
"0". That means, for meson, we unintentionally always enabled more
logging because the define was always present.
Fix that.
AC_CHECK_FILE() does not work for cross compilation. Autoconf
documentation says:
Be aware that, like most Autoconf macros, they test a feature of the
host machine, and therefore, they die when cross-compiling. [1]
Test for the existance of the file directly. Of course, when cross
compiling, it's not at all clear that the host machine will run the same
distribution. And thus detecting --enable-ifcfg-rh based on the build
machine is likely wrong. Note, that we already did
AS_IF([test -z "$hostname_persist" -a -f /etc/SuSE-release], hostname_persist=suse)
which has the same problem.
At least, build no longer fails, and the user can inspect the ./configure
summary and see which features were misdetected.

"debug" was documentation in `man NetworkManager.conf` as a valid
logging backend. However, it was completely ignored by
nm_logging_syslog_openlog().
In fact, it makes not sense. Passing debug = TRUE to
nm_logging_syslog_openlog(), means that all messages will be
printed to stderr in addition to syslog/journal. However, when
NetworkManager is daemonizing, stderr is closed.
Whether NetworkManager is daemonizing depends entirely on command
line options --no-daemon and --debug. Hence, the logging backend "debug"
from the configuration file either conflicts or is redundant.
Also, adjust logging backend description in `man NetworkManager.conf`.
Also, log a warning about invalid/unsupported logging backend.

It's deprecated and has been replaced by libnm for 6 major releases now.
Its use in modern distributions has faded to the point it can probably
be safely removed.
This makes package updates more robust, avoiding in-place replaces of
the plugins.
Previously, if an upgrade transaction was terminated, NetworkManager
library could end up being of a different version than the plugins.
If the user was unfortunate enough to connect using a connection that
required a plugin (say, Wi-Fi), he would be left without a network
connection making it somewhat inconvenient to recover from the botched
upgrade.
This makes the whole situation a little bit less sad.
The VPN plugins are kept where they always have been -- the path is not
qualified with a version number.
With autotools, we use libtool so that the right libraries are
automatically found. Still, we won't find the right GI typelib.
Add a mechanism so that when make/meson invokes the run-nm-test.sh
runner, it passes the build-root directory.
Also, try to autodetect when invoked manually.

Supporting PolicyKit required no additional library, just extra code
to handle the D-Bus calls. For that, there was a compile time option
to even stip out that code. Note, that you could (and still can)
configure the system not to use policy-kit. The point was to reduce
the binary size in case you don't need it.
Remove this. I guess, we we aim for such aggressive optimization of
the binary size, we should instead make all device types disablable
at configuration time. We don't do that either and other low hanging
fruits, because it's better to always enable features, unless they
require external dependencies.
Also, the next commit will make more use of NMAuthManager. So, having
it disabled at compile time, makes even less sense.
We already do conditional build with "#if WITH_CONCHECK".
Get rid of the conditional in the makefile and instead do
conditional compilating inside the source file "nm-connectivity.c".
The advantage is, now if you want to know which parts are build,
you only need to grep for the WITH_CONCHECK preprocessor define
instead of also caring about the conditional in Makefile.am and
meson.build.
It doesn't change the fact of conditional compilation. But it
consistently uses one mechanism to achieve it.
From libnl3, we only used the helper function to parse/generate netlink
messages and the socket functions to send/receive messages. We don't
need an external dependency to do that, it is simple enough.
Drop the libnl3 dependency, and replace all missing code by directly
copying it from libnl3 sources. At this point, I mostly tried to
import the required bits to make it working with few modifications.
Note that this increases the binary size of NetworkManager by 4736 bytes
for contrib/rpm build on x86_64. In the future, we can simplify the code
further.
A few modifications from libnl3 are:
- netlink errors NLE_* are now in the domain or regular errno.
The distinction of having to bother with two kinds of error
number domains was annoying.
- parts of the callback handling is copied partially and unused parts
are dropped. Especially, the verbose/debug handlers are not used.
In following commits, the callback handling will be significantly
simplified.
- the complex handling of seleting ports was simplified. We now always
let kernel choose the right port automatically.
