This prevents a launched process's output from being mixed up with the
output of the parent process, which can lead to the wrong program being

This is an internal helper executable, which users shouldn't invoke
directly (see glib#1633).
When building for a single-architecture distribution, we can install
it as ${libexecdir}/gio-launch-desktop.
When building for a multiarch distribution, installing it into an
architecture-specific location and packaging it alongside the GLib
library avoids the problem discussed in glib#1633 where it would either
cause a circular dependency between the GLib library and a common
cross-architecture package (libglib2.0-bin in Debian), or require a
separate package just to contain gio-launch-desktop, or cause different
architectures' copies to overwrite each other.

gio-launch-desktop was removed before checking GIO for potentially
unsafe environment variable references, so reverting its removal brought
this one back. If a setuid program is using GAppInfo then something is
probably already horribly wrong, but let's be careful anyway.

A shell one-liner was enough to set GIO_LAUNCHED_DESKTOP_FILE_PID,
but ideally we also want to do the equivalent of sd_journal_stream_fd()
to set up its standard output and standard error streams.
Ideally we would call sd_journal_stream_fd() in a process that will
exec the real program, otherwise it will report the wrong process ID
in the Journal, but we can't easily do that in a forked child when
using posix_spawn() for subprocesses.
This reverts commit 2b533ca99a.

ginsttest-runner defaults to timing out each test after 5 minutes,
but gobject/tests/performance/performance.c defaults to running each
of 18 tests for 15 seconds. The result is close enough to 5 minutes
that the setup overhead is enough to make it time out.
We're only running these tests to prove that they still work, not to
get meaningful performance numbers, so cut them down to 1 second per
test-case (the result of which is that performance.c takes about a
minute).

When run as an installed-test, assert-msg-test generally won't be in

of this script, so we can find it that way.

The dominant implementations of the well-known session and system
message buses are the reference implementation from the dbus project
(dbus-daemon) and the sd-bus-based reimplementation dbus-broker, both
of which have correct implementations for EXTERNAL authentication with
an unspecified authorization identity.
This makes it reasonably safe to assume that the well-known message
buses can cope with the unspecified authorization identity, even if we
cannot make the same assumption for custom servers such as the ones
used in ibus and gvfs (which might have been started with an older
GLib version before upgrading GLib in-place).

When using a GDBus client in a non-trivial user namespace, the result of
geteuid() can differ from the uid in the namespace where the server is
running. This would result in connection attempts being rejected, because
the identity that the client claims to have does not match the identity
that the server derives from its credentials.
RFC 4422 allows us to send an empty authorization identity, which means we
want to authenticate as whatever identity the server can derive from our
out-of-band credentials. In particular, this resolves the authentication
failure when crossing between different Linux user namespaces.
Because D-Bus does not have a way to represent an empty initial response
as distinct from the absence of an initial response, we cannot use the
initial-response optimization (RFC 4422 §4.3.a) in this case, and must
fall back to waiting for the server to send a challenge.
Unfortunately, GDBus versions older than glib!2826 did not implement
the server side of this protocol correctly, and would respond to the
missing initial response in a way that breaks the SASL state machine
(expecting a response without sending a challenge), causing client and
server to deadlock with each waiting for the other to respond. Until
fixed versions of GDBus are widespread, we can't rely on having a server
that can cope with this, so gate it behind a flag, which can be set for
connections that are known to cross non-trivial namespace boundaries.
Originally inspired by
<1ed4723d38>,
and based on earlier work by Giuseppe Scrivano (in which the
cross-namespace behaviour was unconditional, rather than gated by a
flag).

In Debian-style multiarch (libdir = lib/x86_64-linux-gnu or similar),
Red-Hat-style multilib (libdir = lib64 or lib) and Arch-style multilib
(libdir = lib or lib32), we have to run a separate version of
gio-querymodules to discover 32- or 64-bit modules on x86. Installing
modules in the directory used for each word size needs to trigger
recompilation of the correct modules list.
Debian, Fedora and Arch currently all have patches to facilitate this:
Debian moves gio-querymodules into ${libdir}/glib-2.0 and provides a
compat symlink in ${bindir}, while Fedora and Arch rename one or both
of the gio-querymodules executables to give it a -32 or -64 suffix.
We can avoid the need for these patches by making this a build option.
Doing this upstream has the advantage that the pkg-config metadata for
each architecture points to the correct executable and is in sync with
reality.
I'm using Debian's installation scheme with a separate directory here,
because the word-size suffix used in Fedora and Arch only works for the
common case of 32- and 64-bit multilib, and does not cover scenarios
where there can be more than one ABI with the same word size, such as
multiarch cross-compilation or alternative ABIs like x32.
Now that we have this infrastructure, it's also convenient to use it for
glib-compile-schemas. This works with /usr/share, so it only needs to
be run for one architecture (typically the system's primary
architecture), but using /usr/bin/glib-compile-schemas for the trigger
would result in either primary and secondary architectures trying to
overwrite each other's /usr/bin/glib-compile-schemas binaries, or a
circular dependency (the GLib library would have to depend on a
common package that contains glib-compile-schemas, but
glib-compile-schemas depends on the GLib library). Installing a
glib-compile-schemas binary in an architecture-specific location
alongside each GLib library bypasses this problem.

In case JIT is not available in pcre2 we printed warning about it. This
warning broke tests on systems which don't have JIT support in pcre2
(e.g. macos).
Since we ported gregex to pcre2, the JIT compiler is now available to be
used. Let's undeprecate G_REGEX_OPTIMIZE flag to control whether the JIT
compilation is requested, since using JIT is itself an optimization.
See [1] for details on its implementation in pcre2.

RFC 4422 appendix A defines the empty authorization identity to mean
the identity that the server associated with its authentication
credentials. In this case, this means whatever uid is in the
GCredentials object.
In particular, this means that clients in a different Linux user
namespace can authenticate against our server and will be authorized
as the version of their uid that is visible in the server's namespace,
even if the corresponding numeric uid returned by geteuid() in the
client's namespace was different. systemd's sd-bus has relied on this
since commit
1ed4723d38.

Sending an "initial response" along with the AUTH command is meant
to be an optional optimization, and clients are allowed to omit it.
We must reply with our initial challenge, which in the case of EXTERNAL
is an empty string: the client responds to that with the authorization
identity.
If we do not reply to the AUTH command, then the client will wait
forever for our reply, while we wait forever for the reply that we
expect the client to send, resulting in deadlock.
D-Bus does not have a way to distinguish between an empty initial
response and the absence of an initial response, so clients that want
to use an empty authorization identity, such as systed's sd-bus,
cannot use the initial-response optimization and will fail to connect
to a GDBusServer that does not have this change.

This is an interoperability fix. If the line is exactly "DATA\r\n",
the reference implementation of D-Bus treats this as equivalent to
"DATA \r\n", meaning the data block consists of zero hex-encoded bytes.
In practice, D-Bus clients send empty data blocks as "DATA\r\n", and
in fact sd-bus only accepts that, rejecting "DATA \r\n".

Using GMemorySettingsBackend before any other GSettingsBackend would
cause the following error: "Tried to implement non-registered extension
point gsettings-backend". This is due to a missing call to
_g_io_modules_ensure_extension_points_registered() in the GMemorySettingsBackend
type definition which registers the gsettings-backend extension point.
