The main use case of setpriv is to modify the current state of
privileges available to the calling process and spawn a new executable
with the modified, new state. Next to the already supported case of
modifying the no-new-privs flag, util-linux also supports to modify
capability sets.
This commit introduces to add or drop capabilities from the set of
inheritable capabilities. Quoting from capabilities(7):
This is a set of capabilities preserved across an execve(2).
Inheritable capabilities remain inheritable when executing any
program, and inheritable capabilities are added to the permitted set
when executing a program that has the corresponding bits set in the
file inheritable set.
As such, inheritable capabilities enable executing files with certain
privileges if the file itself has these privileges set. Note though that
inheritable capabilities are dropped across execve when running as a
non-root user.

The setpriv executable from util-linux also dumps out information on the
different capability sets known by the kernel. By default, these are the
inheritable capabilities, bounding capabilities and (not yet released)
the ambient capabilities, which have been introduced with Linux 4.3.
This patch introduces the ability to dump the set of inheritable
capabilities.
By default, setpriv(1) identifies capabilities by their human-readable
name, for example 'net_admin'. For unknown capabilities, though, it does
instead use the capability's value, for example 'cap_12', which is
equivalent to 'net_admin'. As there is no kernel interface to retrieve
capability names by their index, we have to declare these ourselves,
which adds to setpriv's size.
To counteract, using the human-readble name has been made configurable.
The following sizes are with the 'FEATURE_SETPRIV_CAPABILITY_NAMES'
enabled:

setpriv from util-linux has an option to dump the current state
regarding privilege settings via '--dump'. It prints out information on
the real and effective user and group IDs, supplementary groups, the
no-new-privs flag, the capability sets as well as secure bits.
This patch is the start of supporting this mode. To make introduction of
the '--dump' easier to reason about, its introduction has been split
into multiple patches. This particular one introduces the ability to
print out user and group information of the current process.

The current option parsing logic of setpriv only supports the case where
we want to execute a sub-program and have at most one argument. Refactor
handling of options to solve these shortcomings to make it easy to
support 'setpriv --dump', which does not accept any additional
arguments, as well as the case where additional options are passed to
setpriv. This is done by handling 'argc' ourselves, throwing an error
when no program is specified, as well as introducing an enum for the
different option bitmasks.

By default, the 'getopt32' call will continue parsing the command line
even after hitting a non-option string. But in setpriv, this should be
avoided, as all parameters following the initial non-option argument are
in fact arguments to the binary that is to be executed by setpriv.
Otherwise, calling e.g. 'busybox setpriv ls -l' would result in an error
due to the unknown parameter "-l".
Fix the issue by passing "+" as the first character in the options
string. This will cause 'getopt32' to stop processing after hitting the
first non-option.

NAME
fallocate - preallocate or deallocate space to a file
SYNOPSIS
fallocate [-c|-p|-z] [-o offset] -l length [-n] filename
fallocate -d [-o offset] [-l length] filename
DESCRIPTION
fallocate is used to manipulate the allocated disk space for a file,
either to deallocate or preallocate it. For filesystems which support
the fallocate system call, preallocation is done quickly by allocating
blocks and marking them as uninitialized, requiring no IO to the data
blocks. This is much faster than creating a file by filling it with
zeroes.

Busybox is very often used in initramfs at the end of which usually
there is a switch_root to the actual rootfs. There are many cases where
the console kernel argument is either just a placeholder (for example
RaspberryPi uses serial0 and serial1) or configured as null to avoid any
console messages - usually you would see such of a setup in production
environments.
Currently busybox bails out if can't open the console argument. If this
happenes in initramfs and if the console=null for example, you get in a
blind kernel panic. Avoid this by only warning instead of dying.

This reverts commit 86a03bee1d.
Since now our "mount -oloop" creates AUTOCLEARed loopdevs, we no longer
need our umount to destroy loopdevs to match the usual util-linux behaviour.
Now this revert fixes another, opposite bug: "explicit" mount /dev/loopN
and then umount must not drop loopdevs!
User complaint is as follows:
It seems LOOP_CLR_FD called on a loop-*partition* removes the mapping of
the whole *device* - which results in the following:
root@LEDE:/# loop=$(losetup -f)
root@LEDE:/# echo ${loop}
/dev/loop2
root@LEDE:/# losetup ${loop} /IMAGE
root@LEDE:/# ls -l ${loop}*

root@LEDE:/# mount ${loop}p8 /MOUNT # mount loop partition
root@LEDE:/# losetup -a | grep $loop # loop dev mapping still there
/dev/loop2: 0 /mnt/IMAGE
root@LEDE:/# strace umount /MOUNT 2> /log # unmount loop partition
root@LEDE:/# losetup -a | grep ${loop} # loop device mapping is gone
root@LEDE:/# grep -i loop /log
open("/dev/loop2p7", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
ioctl(3, LOOP_CLR_FD) = 0
root@LEDE:/#
The strace was done to figure out, if maybe umount wrongly ioctl()'s the
parent device instead of the partition - it doesn't.
I already wasn't a fan of umount implicitly removing the mapping in the
first place (as I usually setup and release loop devices with `losetup`
and scripts needed to call umount differently in order to work and
outside busybox).
However taking above (kernel-)behaviour into account - umount calling
ioctl(LOOP_CLR_FD) unconditionally potentially causes some nasty side
effects

The "autolooped" mount (mount [-oloop] IMAGE /DIR/DIR)
always creates AUTOCLEARed loopdevs, so that umounting
drops them (and this does not require any code in the
umount userspace).
This happens since circa linux-2.6.25:
commit 96c5865559cee0f9cbc5173f3c949f6ce3525581
Date: Wed Feb 6 01:36:27 2008 -0800
Subject: Allow auto-destruction of loop devices
IOW: in this case, umount does not have to use -d
to drop the loopdev.
The explicit loop mount (mount /dev/loopN /DIR/DIR)
does not do this. In this case, umount without -d
should not drop loopdev.
Unfortunately, bbox umount currently always implies -d,
this probably needs fixing.

Currently some new devices that have a bus but no class will
be missed by mdev coldplug device creation after boot. This
happens because mdev recursively searches /sys/class which will
by definition only find class devices.
Some important devices such as iio and gpiochip does not have
a class. But users will need them.
This switches from using /sys/class as the place to look for
devices to create to using /sys/dev where all char and block
devices are listed.
The subsystem lookup code that provide the G.subsystem
environment variable is changed from using the directory
name of the class device to instead dereference the
"subsystem" symlink for the device, and look at the last
element of the path of the symlink for the subsystem, which
will work with class devices and bus devices alike. (The new
bus-only devices only symlink to the /sys/bus/* hierarchy.)
We delete the legacy kernel v2.6.2x /sys/block device path
code as part of this change. It's too old to be kept alive.
Tested on kernel v4.6-rc2 with a bunch of devices, including
some IIO and gpiochip devices.
With a print inserted before make_device() the log looks
like so:
Create device from "/sys/dev/char/1:1", subsystem "mem"
Create device from "/sys/dev/char/1:2", subsystem "mem"
Create device from "/sys/dev/char/1:3", subsystem "mem"
Create device from "/sys/dev/char/1:5", subsystem "mem"
(...)
Create device from "/sys/dev/block/179:56", subsystem "block"
Create device from "/sys/dev/block/179:64", subsystem "block"
