The system start timeout as previously implemented would get confused by
long-running services that are included in the initial system startup
transaction for example by being cron-job-like long-running services
triggered immediately at boot. Such long-running jobs would be subject
to the default 15min timeout, esily triggering it.
Hence, remove this again. In a subsequent commit, introduce per-target
job timeouts instead, that allow us to control these timeouts more
finegrained.
Without the socket open we are going to crash and burn. If for
whatever reason we fail during deserialization we will fail when
trying to open the socket. In this case it is better to unlink the old
socket and maybe lose some messages, than to continue without the
notification socket.
Of course this situation should not happen, but we should handle
it as gracefully as possible anyway.

It is redundant to store 'hash' and 'compare' function pointers in
struct Hashmap separately. The functions always comprise a pair.
Store a single pointer to struct hash_ops instead.
systemd keeps hundreds of hashmaps, so this saves a little bit of
memory.
We'll stay in "initializing" until basic.target has reached, at which
point we will enter "starting".
This is preparation so that we can change the startip timeout to only
apply to the first phase of startup, not the full procedure.
When this system-wide start-up timeout is hit we execute one of the
failure actions already implemented for services that fail.
This should not only be useful on embedded devices, but also on laptops
which have the power-button reachable when the lid is closed. This
devices, when in a backpack might get powered on by accident due to the
easily reachable power button. We want to make sure that the system
turns itself off if it starts up due this after a while.
When the system manages to fully start-up logind will suspend the
machine by default if the lid is closed. However, in some cases we don't
even get as far as logind, and the boot hangs much earlier, for example
because we ask for a LUKS password that nobody ever enters.
Yeah, this is a real-life problem on my Yoga 13, which has one of those
easily accessible power buttons, even if the device is closed.
Also add a bit of debugging output to help diagnose problems,
add missing units, and simplify cppflags.
Move test-engine to normal tests from manual tests, it should now
work without destroying the system.
As Zbigniew pointed out a new ConditionFirstBoot= appears like the nicer
way to hook in systemd-firstboot.service on first boots (those with /etc
unpopulated), so let's do this, and get rid of the generator again.
A new tool "systemd-firstboot" can be used either interactively on boot,
where it will query basic locale, timezone, hostname, root password
information and set it. Or it can be used non-interactively from the
command line when prepareing disk images for booting. When used
non-inertactively the tool can either copy settings from the host, or
take settings on the command line.
$ systemd-firstboot --root=/path/to/my/new/root --copy-locale --copy-root-password --hostname=waldi
The tool will be automatically invoked (interactively) now on first boot
if /etc is found unpopulated.
This also creates the infrastructure for generators to be notified via
an environment variable whether they are running on the first boot, or
not.
Only accept cpu quota values in percentages, get rid of period
definition.
It's not clear whether the CFS period controllable per-cgroup even has a
future in the kernel, hence let's simplify all this, hardcode the period
to 100ms and only accept percentage based quota values.
Similar to CPUShares= and BlockIOWeight= respectively. However only
assign the specified weight during startup. Each control group
attribute is re-assigned as weight by CPUShares=weight and
BlockIOWeight=weight after startup. If not CPUShares= or
BlockIOWeight= be specified, then the attribute is re-assigned to each
default attribute value. (default cpu.shares=1024, blkio.weight=1000)
If only CPUShares=weight or BlockIOWeight=weight be specified, then
that implies StartupCPUShares=weight and StartupBlockIOWeight=weight.
Running systemctl enable/disable/set-default/... with the --root
option under strace reveals that it accessed various files and
directories in the main fs, and not underneath the specified root.
This can lead to correct results only when the layout and
configuration in the container are identical, which often is not the
case. Fix this by adding the specified root to all file access
operations.
This patch does not handle some corner cases: symlinks which point
outside of the specified root might be interpreted differently than
they would be by the kernel if the specified root was the real root.
But systemctl does not create such symlinks by itself, and I think
this is enough of a corner case not to be worth the additional
complexity of reimplementing link chasing in systemd.
Also, simplify the code in a few places and remove an hypothetical
memory leak on error.
safe_close_pair() is more like safe_close(), except that it handles
pairs of fds, and doesn't make and misleading allusion, as it works
similarly well for socketpairs() as for pipe()s...
A service with PrivateNetwork= cannot access abstract namespace sockets
of the host anymore, hence let's better not use abstract namespace
sockets for this, since we want to make sure that PrivateNetwork=
is useful and doesn't break sd_notify().
safe_close() automatically becomes a NOP when a negative fd is passed,
and returns -1 unconditionally. This makes it easy to write lines like
this:
fd = safe_close(fd);
Which will close an fd if it is open, and reset the fd variable
correctly.
By making use of this new scheme we can drop a > 200 lines of code that
was required to test for non-negative fds or to reset the closed fd
variable afterwards.
The system state knows the states starting →
running/degraded/maintenance → stopping, where:
starting = system startup
running = normal operation
degraded = at least one unit is currently in failed state
maintenance = rescue/emergency mode is active or queued
stopping = system shutdown
When the manager receives a SIGUSR2 signal, it opens a memory stream
with open_memstream(), uses the returned file handle for logging, and
dumps the logged content with log_dump().
However, the char* buffer is only safe to use after the file handle has
been flushed with fflush, as the man pages states:
When the stream is closed (fclose(3)) or flushed (fflush(3)), the
locations pointed to by ptr and sizeloc are updated to contain,
respectively, a pointer to the buffer and the current size of the
buffer.
These values remain valid only as long as the caller performs no
further output on the stream. If further output is performed, then the
stream must again be flushed before trying to access these variables.
Without that call, dump remains NULL and the daemon crashes in
log_dump().
This is primarily useful for services that need to track clients which
reference certain objects they maintain, or which explicitly want to
subscribe to certain events. Something like this is done in a large
number of services, and not trivial to do. Hence, let's unify this at
one place.
This also ports over PID 1 to use this to ensure that subscriptions to
job and manager events are correctly tracked. As a side-effect this
makes sure we properly serialize and restore the track list across
daemon reexec/reload, which didn't work correctly before.
This also simplifies how we distribute messages to broadcast to the
direct busses: we only track subscriptions for the API bus and
implicitly assume that all direct busses are subscribed. This should be
a pretty OK simplification since clients connected via direct bus
connections are shortlived anyway.
Previously the returned object of constructor functions where sometimes
returned as last, sometimes as first and sometimes as second parameter.
Let's clean this up a bit. Here are the new rules:
1. The object the new object is derived from is put first, if there is any
2. The object we are creating will be returned in the next arguments
3. This is followed by any additional arguments
Rationale:
For functions that operate on an object we always put that object first.
Constructors should probably not be too different in this regard. Also,
if the additional parameters might want to use varargs which suggests to
put them last.
Note that this new scheme only applies to constructor functions, not to
all other functions. We do give a lot of freedom for those.
Note that this commit only changes the order of the new functions we
added, for old ones we accept the wrong order and leave it like that.
