instead of having one simple per-file cache implement an more
comprehensive one that works for multiple files and can actually
maintain multiple maps per file and per object type.
This adds forward-secure authentication of journal files. This patch
includes key generation as well as tagging of journal files,
Verification of journal files will be added in a later patch.
#pragma once has been "un-deprecated" in gcc since 3.3, and is widely supported
in other compilers.
I've been using and maintaining (rebasing) this patch for a while now, as
it annoyed me to see #ifndef fooblahfoo, etc all over the place,
almost arrogant about the annoyance of having to define all these names to
perform a commen but neccicary functionality, when a completely superior
alternative exists.
I havn't sent it till now, cause its kindof a style change, and it is bad
voodoo to mess with style that has been established by more established
editors. So feel free to lambast me as a crazy bafoon.
v2 - preserve externally used headers
The default of 2047 hash table entries turned out to result in way too
many collisions for bigger files, hence scale the hash table size by the
estimated maximum file size.
Previously, when the main data hash table grows too full the performance
simply started to decrease drastically. Instead, now simply rotate to a
new journal file as the hash table gets to full, so that we can start
with a new fresh empty hash table.
we now can take multiple matches, and they will apply as AND if they
apply to different fields and OR if they apply to the same fields. Also,
terms of this kind can be combined with an overreaching OR.
We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to
relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+.
Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into
relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within
systemd.
The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT.
The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now
link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.
