The setup module can now filter out multiple pattern by providing a list
to the filter parameter instead of just a string. Single string sill
works. Previous behaviour remains.
(cherry picked from commit b5c36dac483fdd74d6c570d77cc8f3e396720366)
nitzmahone's blog nicely explained why Windows is not supported
as Ansible controller. Link that in documentation so users can
read about it.

This script is mostly unmaintained and relies on the deprecated and
unmaintained `boto` library. Featuring it prominently in the docs
leads to many new users using it instead of the supported `aws_ec2`
inventory plugin.
##### SUMMARY
Per #67913, when comparing dependencies, Ansible takes into account parameters, tags and the when clause in determining whether a role is a duplicate or not.

The ansible collection repository correctly renamed their default branch from `master` to `main`, which has caused a number for broken urls. This PR fixes those urls.
Change:
- Allow systems to declare multiple virt techs. For example if a system
is both a docker container, but virtualized on KVM, show both. If a
system is set up to run virtualbox and KVM VMs, show both.
- This is done by introducing new facts keys:
- virtualization_tech_guest
- virtualization_tech_host
- Backwards compatibility is preserved by keeping track of the previous
return-points and refusing to update those keys after we would have
returned, but now returning them at the end, so that the new keys can
accumulate their data.

There are links from the scenario guides to collections but collections
docs aren't built in testing or locally when we're on the devel branch.
Due to that we need to make sure those references resolve to the
production docsite. We can use intersphinx to make sure that happens.
* The test for binary files wasn't reading enough of the file.
Checking for null bytes in the first 1024 bytes failed to diagnose the
ansible_2_10.inv file as binary
Update the docs to guide users to use `ansible-runner` instead of using Python API directly. In many use cases, executing Ansible playbooks are sufficient. In those use cases, `ansible-runner` is easier and much stable to use comparing with Python API, but there is no mention of it.
* Fix changelog link title.
* Rename Ansible 2.10 and 2.11 porting guides to Ansible-base porting guides.
* Add stub for automatically generated 2.10 porting guide.
* Move things that should not be in the ansible-base porting guide to the ansible porting guide.
* Apply changes to base porting guides.
* Add remark that ansible-base is mainly for developers.
* Ansible Base -> Ansible-base
* Fix link in base porting guide.
* Add generated porting guide.
* Use same header signs as antsibull-changelog's RST builder.

Follow up to #70221
Related to #67794
CVE-2020-1736
When set_mode_if_different() is called with mode of 'None', ensure we issue
a warning about the change in default permissions.
Add integration tests to ensure the warning works properly.
* Fix tests
- actually use custom module 🤦♂️
- verify file permission on created files
- use remote_tmp_dir so we're ready for split controller
- improve test module so we can skip the call to set_fs_attributes_if_different()
- fix tests for CentOS 6
Change:
- Clarify that not passing `--tags` will cause `ansible_run_tags` to
default to `["all"]`.
- Add some extra coverage around `ansible_run_tags`
Test Plan:
- New integration and unit tests

PR #70446: it's a follow-up for #70445.
It includes a merge of `examples/scripts/uptime.py` and a similar
code snippet from `docs/docsite/rst/dev_guide/developing_api.rst`.
This patch also changes the docs RST file to include contents of
the example file instead of holding a copy of a similar code.
* Change default file permissions so they are not world readable
CVE-2020-1736
Set the default permissions for files we create with atomic_move() to 0o0660. Track
which files we create that did not exist and warn if the module supports 'mode'
and it was not specified and the module did not call set_mode_if_different(). This allows the user to take action and specify a mode rather than using the defaults.
A code audit is needed to find all instances of modules that call atomic_move()
but do not call set_mode_if_different(). The findings need to be documented in
a changelog since we are not warning. Warning in those instances would be frustrating
to the user since they have no way to change the module code.
- use a set for storing list of created files
- just check the argument spac and params rather than using another property
- improve the warning message to include the default permissions
* Format using `` instead of `, add line breaks for long lines, rephrase or remove useless text.
Move some text.
* Add clearer version of OpenSSh is affected by SCP bug
* Review some pages using ansible doc writing guide.
From what I have observed it is the block itself that doesn't support the name attribute rather than the tasks inside the block.

* Build documentation for Ansible-2.10 (formerly known as ACD).
Builds plugin docs from collections whose source is on galaxy
The new command downloads collections from galaxy, then finds the
plugins inside of them to get the documentation for those plugins.
* Update the python syntax checks
* docs builds can now require python 3.6+.
* Move plugin formatter code out to an external tool, antsibull-docs.
Collection owners want to be able to extract docs for their own
websites as well.
* The jinja2 filters, tests, and other support code have moved to antsibull
* Remove document_plugins as that has now been integrated into antsibull-docs
* Cleanup and bugfix to other build script code:
* The Commands class needed to have its metaclass set for abstractmethod
to work correctly
* Fix lint issues in some command plugins
* Add the docs/docsite/rst/collections to .gitignore as
everything in that directory will be generated so we don't want any of
it saved in the git repository
* gitignore the build dir and remove edit docs link on module pages
* Add docs/rst/collections as a directory to remove on make clean
* Split the collections docs from the main docs
* remove version and edit on github
* remove version banner for just collections
* clarify examples need collection keyword defined
* Remove references to plugin documentation locations that no longer exist.
* Perhaps the pages in plugins/*.rst should be deprecated
altogether and their content moved?
* If not, perhaps we want to rephrase and link into the collection
documentation?
* Or perhaps we want to link to the plugins which are present in
collections/ansible/builtin?
* Remove PYTHONPATH from the build-ansible calls
One of the design goals of the build-ansible.py script was for it to
automatically set its library path to include the checkout of ansible
and the library of code to implement itself. Because it automatically
includes the checkout of ansible, we don't need to set PYTHONPATH in
the Makefile any longer.
* Create a command to only build ansible-base plugin docs
* When building docs for devel, only build the ansible-base docs for
now. This is because antsibull needs support for building a "devel
tree" of docs. This can be changed once that is implemented
* When building docs for the sanity tests, only build the ansible-base
plugin docs for now. Those are the docs which are in this repo so
that seems appropriate for now.
A little further down the page is another index, ansible_loop.index, which shares a similar description but is 1 indexed.
Its zero indexed twin has a 0 suffix.
``ansible_loop.index`` The current iteration of the loop. (1 indexed)
``ansible_loop.index0`` The current iteration of the loop. (0 indexed)
To remove ambiguity around the usage of index_var, explicitly mention that this variable is 0 indexed.
Change:
Our handling of NetBSD virtualization facts led to facts that were just
plain incorrect. One example is reporting Xen even when the system is
running on something completely different (like KVM).
As stated by the reporter of #69352, NetBSD has a better sysctl setting
to use for this information, machdep.hypervisor.
This PR does the following:
- Try to use machdep.hypervisor sysctl value if the other sysctl values
we check don't end up with enough information to be useful
- Only look for /dev/xencons and assume Xen if nothing else works
(Really this should probably return 'unknown' since the file exists on
non-Xen systems and is not very useful).
- Add a few more patterns (Xen matches and also Hyper-V) to
VirtualSysctlDetectionMixin#detect_virt_product.
This change is slightly breaking:
- If the first two attempts at using sysctl worked before,
(machdep.dmi.system-product and machdep.dmi.system-vendor), they will
continue to work.
- For cases when those values didn't work, previously the existence of
/dev/xencons was checked, and if found, we reported 'xen' (even on
non-Xen systems when the file existed). After this PR, we try the
machdep.hypervisor sysctl key before still falling back to
/dev/xencons. This means that in some cases, we might go from
(wrongly) saying "xen" to giving a more accurate value such as "kvm"
or "Hyper-V".
Test Plan:
- Tested with local NetBSD VM and got 'kvm' instead of 'xen' back.
Tickets:
- Fixes#69352

* Add type for options in the sample module shown in Developing Modules, as this is required to have the tests being
green
* Remove duplicated strings: the same sentence is in "Python tips" and "Module security", keeping the
latter.
Previous version initialized the `TaskQueueManager` after calling
`Play.load()` while advertising a way to inject a custom library
location path. This caused the tasks loader not to find any custom
modules because it was triggered before the path was actually added
to the module loader.
This patch changes the order of the operations to ensure that the
customized `context.CLIARGS` actually influences things.
Resolves https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/69758.
If a local module has no documentation, the doc command will fail without any hints of what is wrong. Add another way to confirm the presence of a local module.
