I tested the grub image under VirtualBox and it appeared that the image
didn't have pci.ids file included in the /res directory. In that case it
would be expected that lspci can still function correctly if the -n
parameter is passed, but then the unveil syscall failed because the file
didn't exist.
To cope with this, we should allow lspci to work without the pci.ids
file being present at the filesystem, so let's not unveil this file if
the -n parameter is passed.
This opens many opportunities to add more data printed in lspci in a
flexible manner - so instead of reading an ever-expanding JSON encoded
file, we can add more features and let the utility read the directory
entries from sysfs.
This also allows not only filtering data on devices but to easily filter
non-wanted devices when printing the output.
Two different man pages for TelnetServer could be found in sections
1 and 8 of Serenity's manual. This patch combines both and places
the page in section 8.
The URLs of the form `help://man/<section>/<page>` link to another help
page inside the help application. All previous relative page links are
replaced by this new form. This doesn't change any behavior but it looks
much nicer :^)
Note that man doesn't handle these new links, but the previous relative
links didn't work either.
This set was hand-curated, guided by the questions:
- Does it have at least three options, i.e. is the help page
non-trivial?
- Is the program unusual, i.e. does listing it in Help or on
man.serenityos.org spread awareness?
- Is the program common, but we only implement a subset of 'common'
flags?
These interfaces are broken for about 9 months, maybe longer than that.
At this point, this is just a dead code nobody tests or tries to use, so
let's remove it instead of keeping a stale code just for the sake of
keeping it and hoping someone will fix it.
To better justify this, I read that OpenBSD removed loadable kernel
modules in 5.7 release (2014), mainly for the same reason we do -
nobody used it so they had no good reason to maintain it.
Still, OpenBSD had LKMs being effectively working, which is not the
current state in our project for a long time.
An arguably better approach to minimize the Kernel image size is to
allow dropping drivers and features while compiling a new image.
We are not using this for anything and it's just been sitting there
gathering dust for well over a year, so let's stop carrying all this
complexity around for no good reason.
Since this program is setuid-root, it should be as simple as possible.
To that end, remove `/etc/plsusers` and use filesystem permissions to
achieve the same thing. `/bin/pls` is now only executable by `root` or
members of the `wheel` group.
Also remove all the logic that went to great lengths to `unveil()` a
minimal set of filesystem paths that may be used for the command.
The complexity-to-benefit ratio did not seem justified, and I think
we're better off keeping this simple.
Finally, remove pledge promises the moment they are no longer needed.
This commit implements the `useradd` utility that is found on most,
if not all *NIX systems. It allows the root user to add new users
to the password file found in `/etc/passwd`, thereby making
it easier to manipulate the file.
