During the call today we agreed to work towards -rc1 in January. Nevertheless,
I already started writing this up and I'll push it so it doesn't get lost.
I didn't include all the changes to systemd-repart, because those are still in
flux.

systemctl: is-*: return correct code when no unit is found
According to systemctl(1), we should use LSB return code 4
(EXIT_PROGRAM_OR_SERVICES_STATUS_UNKNOWN) when the state

coredump: cescape invalid json data before logging
In both cases, the json string is short, so we can print it, which is useful
for diagnosing invalid data in packages. But we need escape non-printable
characters.
One had to read to the very end of the long description to notice that
the setting is actually primarily intended for oomd. So let's mention oomd
right at the beginning.

mkosi: Drop i686 packages
These are only needed for some kernel selftests but they prevent
building the mkosi image on aarch64 systems so let's drop them
until mkosi has support for conditional configuration so we can
only add these packages on the right architecture.

cryptsetup-fido2: Try all FIDO2 key slots when opening LUKS volume
After #25268, it is now possible to check whether a credential
is present on a FIDO2 token without actually attempting to retrieve said
credential. However, when cryptsetup plugins are not enabled, the
fallback unlock routines are not able to make multiple attempts with
multiple different FIDO2 key slots.
Instead of looking for one FIDO2 key slot when trying to unlock, we now
attempt to use all key slots applicable.

Update 60-evdev.hwdb (#25704)
This solves Debian Bug report 1008760:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1008760.
Solution was inspired by this kernel bug report message:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204967#c15.
My measured pad dimensions with a ruler were 85x44mm.
But I decided to take the 2x size reported by the current kernel
when invoking the touchpad-edge-detector command from the
libdev-tools package. Because this comment claims that the old
vs new kernel reportings differ by factor 2:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204967#c3 .
Therefore I have used this command to get the new entry to 60-evdev.hwdb:
"root@pb:~# touchpad-edge-detector 80x34 /dev/input/event2
Touchpad ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad on /dev/input/event2
Move one finger around the touchpad to detect the actual edges
Kernel says: x [0..1254], y [0..528]
Touchpad sends: x [0..2472], y [-524..528] -^C
Touchpad size as listed by the kernel: 40x17mm
User-specified touchpad size: 80x34mm
Calculated ranges: 2472/1052
This tool was "deprecated" back in 65eb4378c3e1de25383d8cd606909e64c71edc80,
but only by removing documentation. This is somewhat surprising, but udevadm
hwdb --update and systemd-hwdb update generate different databases. udevadm
runs in compat mode and (as far as I have been able to figure out from a quick
look), it omits filename information and does some other changes to the
datastructures. The consuming code (udev) is the same in both cases, so this
"compatibility mode" seems very strange. But I don't think it's worth trying to
figure out why things were done this way. Let's just push people towards the
new code.

man: mention that sd_id128_get_boot() and friend may return -ENOSYS
And drop to mention sd_id128_get_boot_app_specific() may return -ENOENT
or -ENOMEDIUM. The function does not read /etc/machine-id. But reads a
file in the procfs, which is a kind of the kernel API. Hence the
failures are caused only when the system has wrong setup.
We would execute up to four hwdb match patterns (+ the keyboard builtin):
After the first hit, we would skip the other patterns, because of the GOTO="evdev_end"
action.
57bb707d48131f4daad2b1b746eab586eb66b4f3 (rules: Add extended evdev/input match
rules for event nodes with the same name), added an additional match with
":phys:<phys>:ev:<ev>" inserted. This breaks backwards compatibility for user
hwdb patterns, because we quit after the first match.
In general hwdb properties are "additive". We often have a general rule that
matches a wider class and then some specific overrides. E.g. in this particular
case, we have a match for all trackpoints, and then a bunch of model-specific
settings.
So let's change the rules to try all the match patterns and combine the
received properties. We execute builtin-keyboard once at the end, if there was
at least one match.
This also impacts other cases which I think would be very confusing for users.
Since we quit after a first successful match, if we had e.g. a match for
'evdev:input:b*v*p*' in out database, and the user added a match using
'evdev:name:*', which is the approach we document in the .hwdb files and which
users quite often use, it would be silently ignored. What's worse, if we added
our 'evdev:input:b*v*p*' match at a later point, user's match would stop
working. If we combine all the properties, we get more stable behaviour.

sd-device: fix double-free
If an attribute is read but the value is not used (i.e. ret_value is NULL),
then sd_device_get_sysattr_value() mistakenly frees the read data even though
it is cached internally.
`fido2_is_cred_in_specific_token()` should simply not return error codes
for non-fatal errors. For example, `-ENODEV` can be safely translated to
a `false` return value. When the pre-flight request is not supported, we
should simply return true to instruct the caller to attempt to use the
device anyway.
All error codes returned by the funtion should now be fatal and logged
at error level. Non-fatal errors should only appear in debug logs.

libfido2-util: Perform pre-flight checks as well when a specific device path is given
This prevents unnecessary user interactions when `fido2-device` is set to
something other than `auto` -- a case overlooked in the original PR #23577
(and later #25268).
We do not move pre-flight checks to `fido2_use_hmac_hash_specific_token`
because the behaviors are different between different cases: when the
device path is NULL, we try to automatically choose the correct device,
in which case pre-flight errors should be "soft" errors, without
spamming the tty with error outputs; but when a specific device path is
given, a pre-flight request that determined the non-existence of the
credential should be treated the same as a failed assertion request.

libfido2-util: Disable pre-flight checks for credentials with UV
According to the FIDO2 spec, tokens may not support pre-flight checks
for credentials requiring UV, at least not without at least
`pinUvAuthParam` or `uv = true`. Originally, in #25268, this was
handled by passing a PIN to satisfy `pinUvAuthParams`, but this is not
ideal, since `pinUvAuthParam` can be obtained from either a PIN
or a UV verification. Forcing the user to enter the PIN here (which is
often just the fallback option on UV devices) is no better than just
trying out each device with the actual assertion request.
As a result, this commit disables pre-flight checks when the credential
requires UV, and instead reverts to the old behavior (trying out each
device and each key slot, requiring multiple user interactions) for this
type of credentials.
So, i think "erofs" is probably the better, more modern alternative to
"squashfs". Many of the benefits don't matter too much to us I guess,
but there's one thing that stands out: erofs has a UUID in the
superblock, squashfs has not. Having an UUID in the superblock matters
if the file systems are used in an overlayfs stack, as overlayfs uses
the UUIDs to robustly and persistently reference inodes on layers in
case of metadata copy-up.
Since we probably want to allow such uses in overlayfs as emplyoed by
sysext (and the future syscfg) we probably should ramp up our erofs game
early on. Hence let's natively support erofs, test it, and in fact
mention it in the docs before squashfs even.

This drops the special casing for s390 and other archs, which was
cargo-culted from glibc. Given it's not obvious why it exists, and is at
best an optimization let's simply avoid it, in particular as the archs
are relatively non-mainstream.
