This moves various calls to mkdir(1) to very early boot, before any services are running. This has two advantages:
1. These directories are guaranteed to exist. Code can just assume that they are there without checking for them.
2. Malicious code running as an unprivileged user cannot create directories under /tmp before legitimate code has done so.
The following directories are created under /tmp:
- /tmp/.font-unix (used by obsolete X Font Server) is created with mode 0000. - The directories used by X11 are created with 1700 permissions: - /tmp/.X11-unix (X server) - /tmp/.ICE-unix (Inter-Client Exchange) - /tmp/.XIM-unix (X Input Methods) - $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (/run/user/0) is created with 0700 permissions, as expected by the XDG specification.
The copyright notice for directory creation is not kept because making one directories with well-known names and permissions is not copyrightable and the code has been rewritten.
