4aaeeda477 xfree86: Xorg.wrap: Do not require root rights for cards with 0 outputs
Prior to this commit the Xorg.wrap code to detect if root rights are
necessary checked for DRM_IOCTL_MODE_GETRESOURCES succeeding *and*
reporting more then 0 output connectors.

DRM_IOCTL_MODE_GETRESOURCES succeeding alone is enough to differentiate
between old drm only cards (which need ums and thus root) and kms capable
cards.

Some hybrid gfx laptops have 0 output connectors on one of their 2 GPUs,
resulting in Xorg needlessly running as root. This commits removes the
res.count_connectors > 0 check, fixing this.

19b0249a5e Xorg.wrap: activate libdrm based detection for KMS drivers
Xorg.wrap includes code guarded with WITH_LIBDRM for detecting KMS drivers.
Unfortunately it is never activated since code missed to include file
which defines WITH_LIBDRM.

hurd does not have any PATH_MAX limitation. misc.h provides a default value

When the server is privileged, we shouldn't be passing the user's
environment directly.

Clearing the environment is recommended by the libdbus maintainers, see

de89c6b8c6 xfree86: rename Xorg.bin to Xorg
If the suid wrapper is enabled, /usr/bin/Xorg is just a shell script that
execs either /usr/libexec/Xorg.bin directly or the Xorg.wrap binary which then
execve's /usr/libexec/Xorg.bin.

Either way, we end up with Xorg.bin, which is problematic for two reasons:
* ps shows the command as Xorg.bin
* _COMM and _EXE in systemd's journal will both show Xorg.bin as well

There's not much we can do about the path, but having the actual command stay
as Xorg means better compatibility to existing scripts. And, the reason for
this path: the command
   journalctl _COMM=Xorg
works universally, regardless of whether the wrapper is used or not.

ec01d51a99 Xorg.wrap: Make the console check portable
Handle the unported case by issuing a build-time and run-time warning.

And add support for FreeBSD kernel based systems, by using the
VT_GETINDEX ioctl to check if the file descriptor is on a virtual
console.

Also add a missing "/" between SUID_WRAPPER_DIR and "Xorg.bin".

50b6e1b0d7 Xorg.wrap: Use <drm.h> instead of hardcoding libdrm include path
The libdrm.pc file gives us the correct include path, do not try to
hardcode it on the source, as it might vary on the installed system,
for example on Debian-based systems it's under /user/include/libdrm/.

e7b84ca469 Xorg: Add a suid root wrapper
With the recent systemd-logind changes it is possible to install the Xorg
binary without suid root rights and still have everything working as it
should *if* the user only has cards which are supported by kms.

This commit adds a little suid root wrapper, which is a bit weird, first we
strip the suid-root bit of the Xorg binary, and then we add a wrapper ?

The function of this wrapper is to see if a system still needs root-rights,
if it does not (it supports kms and the kms drivers are properly loaded),
then it will immediately drop all elevated rights before executing the real
Xorg binary. If it finds (some) cards which don't support kms, or no cards
at all, then it will execute the Xorg server with elevated rights so that
ie the nvidia binary driver and the vesa driver can keep working normally.

To make it possible for security concious users who don't need the root
rights to completely remove the wrapper, Xorg is started in a 3 step process
when the wrapper is enabled during build time:

1) A simple shell script which checks if the wrapper is there, if it is
  it executes the wrapper, if not it directly executes the real Xorg binary

2) The wrapper gets executed, does its checks, normally drops all elevated
  rights and then executes the real Xorg binary

3) The real Xorg binary does its thing

This allows distributions to put the wrapper binary in a separate package, and
will allow users to remove this package. IE the plan with Fedora is to make
"legacy" drivers depend on the wrapper pkg, and since our default install
contains some legacy drivers it will be part of the default install, but
users can later yum remove it (which will also automatically remove the
legacy driver packages as those won't work without it anyways).

The wrapper is loosely modelled after the existing Debian Xwrapper, it
uses the same config-file + config-file format, and also allows restricting
Xserver execution (through the wrapper) to console users only.

There also is a new needs_root_rights config file directive, which can
be used to override the auto-detection the wrapper does.

Hopefully this will allow Debian to replace their own wrapper with this
upstream one.
