[PATCH 0/4] Set regdom to follow timezone setting as optional feature

[PATCH 0/4] Set regdom to follow timezone setting as optional feature

[Jussi Laakkonen]

This patchset adds an optional feature to make regdom follow the timezone set
on the system. This feature is useful on systems where no cellular is available
or there is no SIM present, as the regdom on WLAN would stay on default (US)
and some channels would be unreachable. Enabling the "RegdomFollowsTimezone"
config option makes Ofono plugin not to change regdom when the cellular network
has indicated a change on country. By following the timezone, which can be
also updated by the cellular stack if set to automatic configuration (might
need a external service to do this), would then eventually propagate to ConnMan.

In order to fully faciliate this on different configurations also the watching
of the localtime is improved. This is done by allowing to configure it as on
some systems there may be an external service controlling localtime setting,
e.g, by defining /etc/localtime a permanent symlink to the service's own
changeable symlink. Furthermore, inotify then needed to react also to IN_CREATE
event in timezone.c in order to detect changes on symlink.

Regdom is read from /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone1970.tab and the first ISO3166
country code set for the current timezone is used. This is done both on startup
and when the content/link of the localtime set has changed.

Jussi Laakkonen (4):
  main: Add path to localtime to config options.
  main: Add RegdomFollowsTimezone option for regdom changes
  timezone: Change regdom along timezone, use localtime config
  ofono: Do not change regdom when it follows timezone

[PATCH 1/4] main: Add path to localtime to config options.

[Jussi Laakkonen]

The path to localtime is kept as default /etc/localtime but in some
cases external daemon manages the localtime by changing its own symlink
to which /etc/localtime points to. Thus, ConnMan would not see any
change in the localtime changes.

[PATCH 3/4] timezone: Change regdom along timezone, use localtime config

[Jussi Laakkonen]

This is an optional feature and when enabled with RegdomFollowsTimezone
config option the regdom is changed when the timezone changes. This
feature is useful in cases when the devices without a cellular
functionality or a SIM card to set the regdom for WiFi via regdom
changes indicated by Ofono plugin are remaining the default setting (US).
As a result some region specific channels cannot be utilized with WiFi.

The ISO3166 country code is read from /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone1970.tab
using the set timezone. This is done at startup and when there is an
inotify event for the localtime. The first ISO3166 country code set on
the line is used.

Timezone.c now uses localtime configured in main.conf. It may be a
symlink as external service can manage localtime so IN_CREATE event
is added for inotify watch.

[PATCH v2 3/4] timezone: Change regdom along timezone, use localtime config

[Jussi Laakkonen]

This is an optional feature and when enabled with RegdomFollowsTimezone
config option the regdom is changed when the timezone changes. This
feature is useful in cases when the devices without a cellular
functionality or a SIM card to set the regdom for WiFi via regdom
changes indicated by Ofono plugin are remaining the default setting (US).
As a result some region specific channels cannot be utilized with WiFi.

The ISO3166 country code is read from /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone1970.tab
using the set timezone. This is done at startup and when there is an
inotify event for the localtime. The first ISO3166 country code set on
the line is used.

Timezone.c now uses localtime configured in main.conf. It may be a
symlink as external service can manage localtime so IN_CREATE event
is added for inotify watch.
---
Changes since v2:
 - Fix memory leaks and restructure
 - Check that zone1970.tab is a regular file
 - Forgot the "-v1" when sending original, my bad, sorry.
