use capsicum on FreeBSD

Thanks to the design of Got, the libexec helpers don't need any resource (in fact they run under pledge "stdio recvfd" on OpenBSD) and so using cap_enter(2) on FreeBSD is dead-easy. While the main process can't be sandboxed on FreeBSD (needs to exec the helpers), all the tough work is done by these small libexec helpers which is also the biggest attack surface. tested by naddy, ok thomas

portable: add support for landlock

landlock is a new set of linux APIs that is conceptually similar to unveil(2): the idea is to restrict what a process can do on a specified part of the filesystem. There are some differences in the behaviour: the major one being that the landlock ruleset is inherited across execve(2). This just restricts the libexec helpers by completely revoking ANY filesystem access; after all they are the biggest attack surface. got send/fetch/clone *may* end up spawning ssh(1), so at the moment is not possible to landlock the main process. From Omar Polo.

portable: add FreeBSD support

This adds the capability to compile got-portable on FreeBSD.

portable: initial Linux compilation

This commit modifies the GoT main branch to be able to compile it under linux.

make close(2) failure checks consistent; check 'close() == -1' everywhere

ok millert, naddy

make fclose(3) failure checks consistent; check 'fclose() == EOF' everywhere

Christian Weisgerber

Stop including <sys/syslimits.h> directly.

POSIX says the limits defined there are available from <limits.h>, which almost all affected source files already included anyway. ok millert stsp


Christian Weisgerber

do not rely on <zlib.h> to pull in <unistd.h>

ok stsp

while (1) -> for (;;)


joshua stein

got_error_from_errno -> got_error_prefix_errno

also add got_error_prefix_errno2 and got_error_prefix_errno3 which should hopefully all be merged into a single function with variadic args (but can't alloc mem)


Stefan Sperling

check for errors from close(2)


Stefan Sperling

check for errors from fclose()
