Having an uptime fact allows you to check after a reboot whether the system was effectively rebooted.
```yaml
- name: Safeguard - Was system properly rebooted ?
action: fail msg="System was not properly rebooted"
when: ansible_uptime > 900
```
This patch has been tested on Linux, Solaris and HP-UX.
If a lookup plugin is run by the lookup() template method it should pass
along any AnsibleError (or child exception classes) rather than just eat
them. These exceptions are purposely raised by the plugin.
Using sets for these operations is dangerous because sets cannot contain
certain object types (such as lists) and their iteration order is
undefined.

process_common_errors() was called thrice, each time appending to the
existing error message, and leading to confusing repetition in the
message that was finally displayed.
Fixes#7498
Addresses multiple issues when using su on freebsd including
* su prompt differs between platforms, so turned that check into a
regex comparison instead of a simple string comparison
* not using '-c' after su causes problems, so added that for all
platforms
* fixed quoting issues due to multiple uses of '-c' introduced by
the above fix

Since the filter list contains hosts, passing that back to list_hosts()
in the inventoy causes issues when the hostname is an IPv6 address
(with :'s interpreted as group unions). Since we already have the list
of hosts, we should not need to pass that back through inventory a
second time.
Fixes#7446
This was causing a bug in the env module, due to the fact that we now
pass variables for the module through the templating engine combined
with the fact that we split-up the hostvars and setup variables. As a
result, if a variable in the env lookup had the same name as the variable
in Ansible, it would try and template itself over and over again until
the recursion limit would be hit, at which time an empty string was
returned.
Fixes#7396
Also added some error handling to the fetch_url() call in the
apt_repository module, so that failures to look up the PPA info
are properly handled.
Fixes#7322
The ssl cert check will now respect the http and https proxy
environment settings. The url may also have the username/password
embedded, in which case basic auth will be used to connect to the
proxy server.
Fixes#7413
If the module directory is not writable/executable to the current user
(most likely because of a sudo to a non-root user), the ssh_wrapper
will be created in the default location for mkstemp() calls. To facilitate
the deletion of these new files, a new mechanism for cleaning up files
created by the module was also added.
Fixes#7375
This is a corner case for remote file systems that don't support
chown() and where the source and destination for the atomic_move
are on that remote file system.
Fixes#7372
