This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
Previously the compression threshold was hardcoded to 512, which meant that
smaller values wouldn't be compressed. This left some storage savings on the
table, so instead, we make that number tunable.
"noreturn" is reserved and can be used in other header files we include:
[ 16s] In file included from /usr/include/gcrypt.h:30:0,
[ 16s] from ../src/journal/journal-file.h:26,
[ 16s] from ../src/journal/journal-vacuum.c:31:
[ 16s] /usr/include/gpg-error.h:1544:46: error: expected ‘,’ or ‘;’ before ‘)’ token
[ 16s] void gpgrt_log_bug (const char *fmt, ...) GPGRT_ATTR_NR_PRINTF(1,2);
Here we include grcrypt.h (which in turns include gpg-error.h) *after* we
"noreturn" was defined in macro.h.
Also, expose this via the "journalctl --file=-" syntax for STDIN. This feature
remains undocumented though, as it is probably not too useful in real-life as
this still requires fds that support mmaping and seeking, i.e. does not work
for pipes, for which reading from STDIN is most commonly used.
When we rotate journals, we must set offline and close the current one,
but don't generally need to wait for this to complete.
Instead, we'll initiate an asynchronous offline via
journal_file_set_offline(oldfile, false), and add the file to a
per-server set of deferred closes to be closed later when they
won't block.
There's one complication however; journal_file_open() via
journal_file_verify_header() assumes that any writable journal in the
online state is the product of an unclean shutdown or other form of
corruption.
Thus there's a need for journal_file_open() to be aware of deferred
closes and synchronize with their completion when opening preexisting
journals for writing. To facilitate this the deferred closes set is
supplied to the journal_file_open() function where the deferred closes
may be closed synchronously before verifying the header in such
circumstances.
Implement a maximum limit on number of journal files to keep around.
Enforcing a limit is useful on this since our performance when viewing
pays a heavy penalty for each journal file to interleve. This setting is
turned on now by default, and set to 100.
Also, actully implement what 348ced9097
promised: use whatever we find on disk at startup as lower bound on how
much disk space we can use. That commit introduced some provisions to
implement this, but actually never did.
This also adds "journalctl --vacuum-files=" to vacuum files on disk by
their number explicitly.
Let's work around crappy clocks in test-journal-interleaving.c too. This
does the same as 98d2a53417 but for
test-journal-interlaving.c rather than test-journal-stream.c.
This patch removes includes that are not used. The removals were found with
include-what-you-use which checks if any of the symbols from a header is
in use.
- Rename log_meta() → log_internal(), to follow naming scheme of most
other log functions that are usually invoked through macros, but never
directly.
- Rename log_info_object() to log_object_info(), simply because the
object should be before any other parameters, to follow OO-style
programming style.
Before, journald would remove journal files until both MaxUse= and
KeepFree= settings would be satisfied. The first one depends (if set
automatically) on the size of the file system and is constant. But
the second one depends on current use of the file system, and a spike
in disk usage would cause journald to delete journal files, trying to
reach usage which would leave 15% of the disk free. This behaviour is
surprising for the user who doesn't expect his logs to be purged when
disk usage goes above 85%, which on a large disk could be some
gigabytes from being full. In addition attempting to keep 15% free
provides an attack vector where filling the disk sufficiently disposes
of almost all logs.
Instead, obey KeepFree= only as a limit on adding additional files.
When replacing old files with new, ignore KeepFree=. This means that
if journal disk usage reached some high point that at some later point
start to violate the KeepFree= constraint, journald will not add files
to go above this point, but it will stay (slightly) below it. When
journald is restarted, it forgets the previous maximum usage value,
and sets the limit based on the current usage, so if disk remains to
be filled, journald might use one journal-file-size less on each
restart, if restarts happen just after rotation. This seems like a
reasonable compromise between implementation complexity and robustness.
* Introduce a macro to conditionally execute tests. This avoids
skipping the entire test if some parts require systemd
* Skip the journal tests when no /etc/machine-id is present
* Change test-catalog to load the catalog from the source directory
of systemd.
* /proc/PID/comm got introduced in v2.6.33 but travis is still
using v2.6.32.
* Enable make check and make distcheck on the travis build
* Use -D"CATALOG_DIR=STR($(abs_top_srcdir)/catalog)" as a STRINGIY
would result in the path '/home/ich/source/linux' to be expanded
to '/home/ich/source/1' as linux is defined to 1.
