tests
-----
- add Coverity to GitHub Actions (see for example .github/workflows/coverity.yml
in systemd repo).
+fstrim
+------
+ - "fstrim --fstab" uses root= from /proc/cmdline to get root FS when it's missing
+ in fstab file. This is fragile (due to missing root= or the root FS is not
+ accessible). The best seems to parse mountinfo and use mnt_table_get_root_fs()
+ as a fallback solution. https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux/issues/1266.

script (lib/pty-session.c)
--------------------------
- (!) add #ifdefs and optional code for non-signalfd() systems

docs
----
- use terminal hyperlinks (for example for --help)

- support huge input lines (for example read input by small fixed buffer
rather than try allocate all buffer for a whole line)

- use unsigned sizes for columns and lines

-----
+ - add "Boost/Turbo: true|false" based on /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo and

- read cpuid and uname information from file if --sysroot is specified, then
we can prepare regression tests completely independent on hw and architecture.

- use /var/lib/hwclock/drift to store hw-clock drift numbers.

The solution is to use pipe(), keep output from helper in memory and return it later
by mnt_context_get_excode() (or mnt_context_get_helper_output(), etc.). This feature
should be optional and disabled by default.

Currently, it outputs -- for every option it doesn't recognize but leaving the
option as it is could beneficial wrapper scripts which could then pass the
options they don't recognize as they are to the command they are wrapping.

- add support for border of table

libblkid
--------
- extend ZFS proper to scan for more uberblocks if BLKID_SUBLKS_MAGIC flag is set.
This solution will make wipefs(8) more usable as ZFS is extremely variable with
- additional root blocks locations. See https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/1228
