The macro HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY is not being used anywhere.
BTW, the function is defined by SVr4, 4.3BSD, and POSIX.1-2001, so
it's likely that it is always available.
POSIX.1-2008 marks it as obsolete, but only because
clock_gettime(2) provides more precission. Since gettimeofday(3)
is in use by many big projects, and it has no obvious dangers,
it's likely that it will continue to exist even if it's outside of
the POSIX standard.

GNU autoconf documentation marks this macro as obsolescent, as
current systems are compatible with POSIX.
Simplify code to unconditionally include <sys/wait.h>, and don't

POSIX.1-2001 defines 'struct dirent' in <dirent.h>. It replaces
the old 'struct direct' found in BSDs. All of the systems that I
checked (including FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD), now provide
<dirent.h> with 'struct dirent', as mandated by POSIX.
Since autoconf first checks <dirent.h> and only if it's missing it
checks other header files, it's clear that it will always find
<dirent.h>, so let's simplify.
GNU autoconf documentation declares this macro as obsolescent, and
acknowledges that all current systems with directory libraries
have <dirent.h>:

Compilers are allowed to and do optimize memset(3) calls away for
pointers not accessed in the future. Since the memzero wrappers purpose
is exactly to unconditionally override memory (e.g. for stored
passwords) do not implement via regular memset(3), but via either
memset_s(3), explicit_bzero(3) or a hand written implementation using
volatile pointers.

We're in 2021. C89 is everywhere; in fact, there are many other
assumptions in the code that wouldn't probably hold on
pre-standard C environments. Let's simplify and assume that C89
is available.
The specific assumptions are that:
- <string.h>, and <stdlib.h> are available
- strchr(3), strrchr(3), and strtok(3) are available
- isalpha(3), isspace(3), isdigit(3), and isupper(3) are available
I think we can safely assume we have all of those.

In a previous commit we introduced /dev/urandom as a source to obtain
random bytes from. This may not be available on all systems, or when
operating inside of a chroot.
Almost all systems provide functions to obtain random bytes from
secure system ressources. Thus we should prefer to use these, and
fall back to /dev/urandom, if there is no such function present, as
a last resort.

Following alexey-tikhonov's suggestion.
Since we've dropped the 'owner' field in the data returned for
get_subid_ranges, we can just return a single allocated array of
simple structs. This means we can return a ** instead of ***, and
we can get rid of the subid_free_ranges() helper, since the caller
can just free() the returned data.

When starting any operation to do with subuid delegation, check
nsswitch for a module to use. If none is specified, then use
the traditional /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid files.
Currently only one module is supported, and there is no fallback
to the files on errors. Several possibilities could be considered:
1. in case of connection error, fall back to files
2. in case of unknown user, also fall back to files
etc...
When non-files nss module is used, functions to edit the range
are not supported. It may make sense to support it, but it also
may make sense to require another tool to be used.
libsubordinateio also uses the nss_ helpers. This is how for instance
lxc could easily be converted to supporting nsswitch.
Add a set of test cases, including a dummy libsubid_zzz module. This
hardcodes values such that:
'ubuntu' gets 200000 - 300000
'user1' gets 100000 - 165536
'error' emulates an nss module error
'unknown' emulates a user unknown to the nss module
'conn' emulates a connection error ot the nss module
Changes to libsubid:
Change the list_owner_ranges api: return a count instead of making the array
null terminated.
This is a breaking change, so bump the libsubid abi major number.
Rename free_subuid_range and free_subgid_range to ungrant_subuid_range,
because otherwise it's confusing with free_subid_ranges which frees
memory.

Currently this has three functions: one which returns the
list of subuid ranges for a user, one returning the subgids,
and one which frees the ranges lists.
I might be mistaken about what -disable-man means; some of
the code suggests it means just don't re-generate them, but
not totally ignore them. But that doesn't seem to really work,
so let's just ignore man/ when -disable-man.
Remove --disable-shared. I'm not sure why it was there, but it stems
from long, long ago, and I suspect it comes from some ancient
toolchain bug.
Create a tests/run_some, a shorter version of run_all. I'll
slowly add tests to this as I verify they work, then I can
work on fixing the once which don't.
Also, don't touch man/ if not -enable-man.

Here's a sad story:
* 70971457 is merged into shadow, allowing newgidmap/newuidmap to be
installed with file caps rather than setuid.
* https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/63248 is filed to take advantage of
this.
* The arch maintainer of the 'shadow' package notices that this doesn't
work, and submits a pull request to fix this in shadow.
* edf7547ad5 is merged, fixing the post install hooks.
The problem here is that distros have been building shadow with PAM for
O(years), but the install hooks have silently failed due to the
combination of the directory mismatch (suidubins vs suidsbins) and later
success with setuid'ing newgidmap/newuidmap.
With the install hooks fixed, those of us (Arch[1] and Gentoo[2] so far)
who never built shadow explicitly with --enable-account-tools-setuid are
now getting setuid account tools, and don't have PAM configuration
suitable for use with setuid account management tools.
It's entirely unclear to me why you'd want this, but I assume there's
some reason out there for it existing. Regardless, setuid binaries are
dangerous and shouldn't be enabled by default without good reason.

With this, it is possible for Linux distributors to store their
supplied default configuration files somewhere below /usr, while
/etc only contains the changes made by the user. The new option
--enable-vendordir defines where the shadow suite should additional
look for login.defs if this file is not in /etc.

handles the split of configuration files in different locations

Some distributions, notably Fedora, have the following order of nsswitch
modules by default:
passwd: sss files
group: sss files
The advantage of serving local users through SSSD is that the nss_sss
module has a fast mmapped-cache that speeds up NSS lookups compared to
accessing the disk an opening the files on each NSS request.
Traditionally, this has been done with the help of nscd, but using nscd
in parallel with sssd is cumbersome, as both SSSD and nscd use their own
independent caching, so using nscd in setups where sssd is also serving
users from some remote domain (LDAP, AD, ...) can result in a bit of
unpredictability.
More details about why Fedora chose to use sss before files can be found
on e.g.:
https://fedoraproject.org//wiki/Changes/SSSDCacheForLocalUsers
or:
https://docs.pagure.org/SSSD.sssd/design_pages/files_provider.html
Now, even though sssd watches the passwd and group files with the help
of inotify, there can still be a small window where someone requests a
user or a group, finds that it doesn't exist, adds the entry and checks
again. Without some support in shadow-utils that would explicitly drop
the sssd caches, the inotify watch can fire a little late, so a
combination of commands like this:
getent passwd user || useradd user; getent passwd user
can result in the second getent passwd not finding the newly added user
as the racy behaviour might still return the cached negative hit from
the first getent passwd.
This patch more or less copies the already existing support that
shadow-utils had for dropping nscd caches, except using the "sss_cache"
tool that sssd ships.
