* Tidy mount module for testing
Fix spelling mistakes in comments. I *think* the example for omitting parents
root has the wrong parent ID.
Make mountinfo file a parameter for testing.
* Don't strip leading slash from mounts
The current code does not follow the example, it produces src=tmp/aaa instead
of src=/tmp/aaa. This causes problems with bind mounts under /rootfs.
* Use dictionary to store mounts by ID
Instead of looping over each one to check if the ID matches. This does not
preserve the order of the output on < Python3.6, but that is not necessary.
* Make linux_mounts a dict
Always accessed by 'dst', so avoid looping by just making it a key.
* Add test case for get_linux_mounts
* Fix 'the the' typos, fix 'pahting' filename typo
* Change 'the the' typos to a single 'the'.
* Change `playbook_pahting.rst` to `playbook_pathing.rst`.
* Delete trailing space in ec2_vol example
Delete the trailing space in `instance: "{{ item.id }} "`, which makes the
example fail when run because it looks for instance "i-xxxx ".

previously gather_subset=['!all'] would still gather the
min set of facts, and there was no way to collect no facts.
The 'min' specifier in gather_subset is equilivent to
exclude the minimal_gather_subset facts as well.
gather_subset=['!all', '!min'] will collect no facts
This also lets explicitly added gather_subsets override excludes.
gather_subset=['pkg_mgr', '!all', '!min'] will collect only the pkg_mgr
fact.

xfs_info is a bash script located in /usr/sbin/ (/sbin is a symlink to
/usr/sbin/) which calls xfs_growfs command. When neither /sbin nor
/usr/sbin are in the PATH environment variable, filesystem module is able to
call xfs_info because /sbin path is hardcoded in get_bin_path method, then
xfs_growfs isn't found because neither /sbin nor /usr/sbin are in the
PATH environment variable.
"xfs_growfs -n" could be used directly instead of xfs_info, the man page
states that: "xfs_info is equivalent to invoking xfs_growfs with the -n
option".

In the past, selinux.security_get_boolean_names did return 'bytes'
on python 3, but this was changed to return string later, cf:

So we have to convert to bytes only if the API return us bytes.

It was in lib/ansible/modules/system/setup.py since it
was the only thing using it, but move it back to module_utils
and add a ansible_collector.get_ansible_collector() to build
a facts collector just like the one used by setup.py
mv test_setup.py -> test_ansible_collector.py
All the code it was testing is now in ansible_collector
rm code to create 'ansible_facts' subkey from namespace
Just leave it up to the caller to do, and just return a

Facts Refresh (2.4 roadmap)
This commit implements most of the 2.4 roadmap 'Facts Refresh'
- move facts.py to facts/__init__.py
- move facts Distribution() to its own class
- add a facts/utils.py
- move get_file_content and get_uname_version to facts/utils.py
- move Facts() class from facts/__init__ to facts/facts.py
- mv get_file_lines to facts/utils.py
- mv Ohai()/Facter() class to facts/ohai.py and facter.py
- Start moving fact Hardware() classes to facts/hardware/*.py
- mv HPUX() hardware class to facts/hardware/hpux.py
- move SunOSHardware() fact class to facts/hardware/sunos.py
- move OpenBSDHardware() class to facts/hardware/openbsd.py
- mv FreeBsdHardware() and DragonFlyHardware() to facts/hardware/
- mv NetBSDHardware() to facts/hardware/netbsd.py
- mv Darwin() hardware class to facts/hardware/darwin.py
- pep8/etc cleanups on facts/hardware/*.py
- Mv network facts classes to facts/network/*.py
- mv Virtual fact classes to facts/virtual
- mv Hardware.get_sysctl to facts/sysctl.py:get_sysctl
- Also mv get_uname_version from facts/utils.py -> distribution.py
since distribution.py is the only thing using it.
- add collector.py with new BaseFactCollector
- add a subclass for AnsibleFactCollector
- hook up dict key munging FactNamespaces
- add some test cases for testing the names of facts
- mv timeout stuff to facts.timeout
- rm ansible_facts()/get_all_facts() etc
- Instead of calling facts.ansible_facts(), fact collection
api used by setup.py is now to create an AnsibleFactCollector()
and call it's collect method.
- replace Facts.get_user_facts with UserFactCollector
- add a 'systems' facts package, mv UserFactCollector there
- mv get_dns_facts to DnsFactCollector
- mv get_env_facts to EnvFactCollector
- include the timeout length in exception message
- modules and module_utils that use AnsibleFactCollector
can now theoretically set the 'valid_subsets'
May be useful for network facts module that currently have
to reimplement a good chunk of facts.py to get gather_subsets
to work.
- get_local_facts -> system/LocalFactCollector
- get_date_time -> system/date_time.py
- get_fips_facts -> system/fips.py
- get_caps_facts() -> system/caps.py
- get_apparmor_facts -> system/apparmor.py
- get_selinux_facts -> system/selinux.py
- get_lsb_facts -> system/lsb.py
- get_service_mgr_facts -> system/service_mgr.py
- Facts.is_systemd_managed -> system/service_mgr.py
- get_pkg_mgr_facts -> system/pkg_mgr.py
- Facts()._get_mount_size_facts() -> facts.utils.get_mount_size()
- add unit test for EnvFactCollector
- add a test case for minimal gather_subsets
- add test case for collect_ids
- Make gather_subset match existing behavior or '!all'
If 'gather_subset' is provided as '!all', the existing behavior
(in 2.2/2.3) is that means 'dont collect any facts except those
from the Facts() class'. So 'skip everything except
'apparmor', 'caps', 'date_time', 'env', 'fips', 'local', 'lsb',
'pkg_mgr', 'python', 'selinux', 'service_mgr', 'user', 'platform', etc.
The new facts setup was making '!all' mean no facts at all, since
it can add/exclude at a finer granularity. Since that makes more
sense for the ansible collector, and the set of minimal facts to
collect is really more up to setup.py to decide we do just that.
So if setup.py needs to always collect some gather_subset, even
on !all, setup.py needs to have the that subset added to the
list it passes as minimal_gather_subset.
This should fix some intg tests that assume '!all' means that
some facts are still collected (user info and env for example).
If we want to make setup.py collect a more minimal set, we can do that.
- force facts_dicts.keys() to a list so py3 works
- split fact collector tests to test_collectors.py
- convert Facter(Facts) -> other/facter.py:FacterFactCollector
- add FactCollector.collect_with_namespace()
regular .collect() will return a dict with the key names
using the base names ('ip_address', 'service_mgr' etc)
.collect_with_namespace() will return a dict where the key names
have been transformed with the collectors namespace, if there is
one. For most, this means a namespace that adds 'ansible_' to the
start of the key name.
For 'FacterFactCollector', the namespace transforms the key to
'facter_*'.
- add test cases for collect_with_namespace
- move all the concrete 'which facts does setup.py' stuff to setup.py
The caller of AnsibleFactCollector.from_gather_subset() needs to
pass in the list of collector classes now.
- update system/setup.py to import all of the fact classes and pass
in that list.
- split the Distribution fact class up a bit
extracted the 'distro release' file handling (ie, linux
boxes with /etc/release, /etc/os-release etc) into its
own class.
- extract get_cmdline_facts -> cmdline.py
- extract get_public_ssh_host_keys -> system/ssh_pub_keys.py
- extract get_platform_facts -> system/platform.py
platform.py may be a good candidate for further splitting.
- rm test for plain Facts() base class
- let the base class for Collector unit tests provide collected_facts
some Collectors and/or their migrated Facts() subsclasses need
to look at facts collected by other modules ('ansible_architecture'
the main one...).
Collector.collect() has the collected_facts arg for this, so add
a class variable to BaseFactsTest so we can specify it.
- mv Ohai to other/ohai.py and convert to Collector
- update hardware/*.py to return facts (no side effects)
- mv AnsibleFactCollector to setup.py
- extra collector class gathering to module method in
facts/__init__.py (collector_classes_from_gather_subset)
- add a CollectorMetaDataCollector collector used to provide
the 'gather_setup' fact
- add unit test module for 'setup' module
(test/units/modules/system/setup.py)
- Collector init now doesnt need a module, but collect does
An instance of a FactCollector() isnt tied to a AnsibleModule
instance, but the collect() method can be, so optionally pass
in module to FactCollector.collect() (everywhere)
- add a default_collectors for list of default collectors
import and use it from setup.py module
eventually, would like to replace this with a plugin loader
style class finder/loader
- unit tests for module_utils/facts/__init__.py
- add unit tests for ohai facts collector
- remove self.facts side effect on populate() in hardware/sunos.py
- convert OpenBSDHardware() to rm side effects on self.facts
- try to rm some self.facts side effects in Network()
plumb in collected_facts from populate() where it is needed.
stop passing collected_facts into Network() [via cached_facts=,
where it eventually becomes self.facts]
- nothing provides Fact() cached_facts arg now, rm it
Facts() should be internal only implementation so nothing
should be using it.
Of course, now someone will.
- add a Collector.name attr to build a map of name->_fact_ids
To properly exclude a gather_subset spec like '!hardware', we
need to know that 'hardware' also means 'devices', 'dmi', etc.
Before, '!hardware' would remove the 'hardware' collector name
but not 'devices'. Since both would end up in id_collector_map,
we would still end up with the HardwareCollector in the collector
list. End result being that '!hardware' wouldn't stop hardware
from being collected.
So we need to be able to build that map, so add the Collector.name
attribute that is the primary name (like 'hardware') and let
Collector._fact_ids be the other fact ids that a collector is
responsible for.
Construct the aliases_map of Collector.name -> set of _fact_ids
in fact/__init__.py get_collector_names, and use it when we are
populating the exclude set.
- refactor of distribution.py
make the big OS_FAMILY literal a little easier to read
Also keys can now be any string instead of python literals
99% sure the test for 'KDE Neon' was wrong
I don't see how/where it should or could get 'Neon' instead
of 'KDE Neon' as provided in os-release NAME=
Use 'distribution' string for key to OS_MAP
ie, we dont need to make it a valid python label anymore so dont.
move _has_dist_file to module as _file_exists
easier to mock without mucking with os.path
mv platform.system() calls to within get_distribution_facts() instead
of Distribution() init.
- remove _json compat module
The code in here was to support:
-a 'json' python module that was not the standard one included
with python since 2.6.
- potentially fallback to simplejson if 'json' was not available.
'json' is available for all supported python versions now so
no longer needed.
- mv get_collector_names -> facts.collector
- mv collector_classes_from_gather_subset -> facts.collector
- mv collector tests from test_facts -> test_collector
- Use six's reduce() in sunos/netbsd hardware facts
- rm extraneous get_uname_version in utils
only system/distribution.py uses it
- Remove Facts() subclass metaclass usage
- using fact_id and a platform id for matching collectors
gut most of Facts() subclasses
rm Facts() subclasses with weird metaclass
only add collectors that match the fact_ids and the platform_info
to the list of collectors used.
atm, a collectors platform_id will default to 'Generic', and
any platform matches 'Generic'
goal is to select collector classes including matching the
systems platform in collector.py, instead of relying on
metaclasses in hardware/*. To finish this, the various
Facts() subclasses will need to be replaced entirely with
Collector() subclasses.
use collector classmethod platform_match() to match the platform
This lets the particular class decide if it is compatible with
a given platform_info. platform_info is a dict like obj, so it could be
expanded in the future.
Add a default platform_match to BaseFactCollector that matches
platform_info['system'] == cls._platform
They were needed previously to trigger a module
load on all the collector classes when we import
facts/hardare so that the Hardware() and related
classes that used __new__ and find_all_subclasses()
would work.
Now that is done in collectors based on platform matching
at runtime we dont need to do it py module import/parse
time. So the non empty __init__.pys are no longer needed
and their is a more flexible mechanism for selection
platform specific stuff.
facts/facts.py is no longer used, rm'ed
- if we dont find an implement class for gather spec.. just ignore it.

With newer versions of ansible, module arguments are assumed to
be strings unless otherwise specified. Our 'facts' argument is
expected to be a dictionary, so tell ansible that.
Without this, the argument will arrive as a string and be written
to the facter file inside string quotes. Facter will produce the
following error:
undefined method `each' for #<String:0x000000016ee640>
This was originally fixed and found in the Ansible Puppet role which
is maintained by the OpenStack infrastructure team.

Puppet modules are not always installed in the default location
(i.e, /etc/puppet/modules) so it is useful to be able to specify
an alternate location.
* Fix systemd in chroot
The 'request ignored' message is in stderr, not stdout.
* Check both stdout and stderr for systemd message
Some versions of systemd report to stderr, others to stdout. Also check
whether output could be a valid normal response to avoid false positives.
The cron module forces changed=True when there was no real change,
but the original crontab did not contain a final newline, which is
mandatory.
When the user has no crontab or the user does not exist at all,
crontab -l exits with 1 and the cron module correctly interprets
this as "no crontab" and stores the old crontab as "".
However this triggers changed=True, even if we're not going to
change anything, e.g. when removing a crontab entry from a user
who has no crontabs at all.
Let's special-case the fact that the old crontab is empty and not
force changed=True in that case.

get_masquerade_* functions only take one arg. The action_handler
wrapper function expected a tuple, but was being passed (zone)
instead of (zone,) making for an ambiquous tuple. The
(zone) arg was being treated as a tuple/list of six chars
(the zone name) instead of a tuple of one string.
This would cause errors like:

* Handle ssh-keygen -HF returning non-zero exit code
AFAICT this is a bug in ssh-keygen in some newer OpenSSH versions
(>= 6.4 probably; see commit dd9d5cc670):
when you invoke ssh-keygen with -H and -F <host> options, it always
returns exit code 1. This is because in ssh-keygen.c there's a function
do_known_hosts() which calls
exit (find_host && !ctx.found_key);
at the end, and find_host is 1 (because we passed -F on the command line),
but ctx.found_key is always 0. Why is found_key always 0? Because the
callback passed to hostkeys_foreach(), which is known_hosts_hash(),
never bothers to set found_key to 1.
* This test does not need root
* Avoid ssh-ed25519 keys in sample known_hosts file
Older versions of OpenSSH do not like them and ssh-keygen -HF
aborts with an error when it sees such keys:
line 5 invalid key: example.net...
/root/ansible_testing/known_hosts is not a valid known_hosts file.

* Move detection and creation of a file to a separate function within `Blacklist`
* If there's no file on the system and we are running under `Check Mode`, set `self.filename` to `os.devnull` AND mark a change, as the module would have created an empty file.
* Whenever a `self.filename` is being opened in a mode where changes can be made, replace with an if statement that checks `self.checkmode` and if true then open up `os.devnull` instead
