systemd.show-status=error is useful for the case where people care about errors
only.
If people want to have a quiet boot, they most likely don't want to see all
status output even if there is a delay in boot, so make "quiet" imply
systemd.show-status=error instead of systemd.show-status=auto.
Fixes#14976.
We would say "Enabling" also for SHOW_STATUS_AUTO, which is actually
"soft off". So just print the exact state to make things easier to understand.
Also add a helper function to avoid repeating the enum value list.
For #14814.
Reloading the SELinux label cache here enables a light-wight follow-up of a SELinux policy change, e.g. adding a label for a RuntimeDirectory.
Closes: #13363
This makes the code do what the documentation says. The code had no inkling
about initrd.target, so I think this change is fairly risky. As a fallback,
default.target will be loaded, so initramfses which relied on current behaviour
will still work, as along as they don't have a different initrd.target.
In an initramfs created with recent dracut:
$ ls -l usr/lib/systemd/system/{default.target,initrd.target}
lrwxrwxrwx. usr/lib/systemd/system/default.target -> initrd.target
-rw-r--r--. usr/lib/systemd/system/initrd.target
So at least for dracut, there should be no difference.
Also avoid a pointless allocation.
This partially reverts a07a7324ad.
We have two pieces of information: the value and a boolean.
config_parse_timeout_abort() added in the reverted commit would write
the boolean to the usec_t value, making a mess.
The code is reworked to have just one implementation and two wrappers
which pass two pointers.
TasksMax= and DefaultTasksMax= can be specified as percentages. We don't
actually document of what the percentage is relative to, but the implementation
uses the smallest of /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max, /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max,
and /sys/fs/cgroup/pids.max (when present). When the value is a percentage,
we immediately convert it to an absolute value. If the limit later changes
(which can happen e.g. when systemd-sysctl runs), the absolute value becomes
outdated.
So let's store either the percentage or absolute value, whatever was specified,
and only convert to an absolute value when the value is used. For example, when
starting a unit, the absolute value will be calculated when the cgroup for
the unit is created.
Fixes#13419.
This reworks the logic introduced in
a5cede8c24 (#13693).
First of all, let's move this out of util.c, since only PID 1 really
needs this, and there's no real need to have it in util.c.
Then, fix freeing of the variable. It previously relied on
STATIC_DESTRUCTOR_REGISTER() which however relies on static_destruct()
to be called explicitly. Currently only the main-func.h macros do that,
and PID 1 does not. (It might be worth investigating whether to do that,
but it's not trivial.) Hence the freeing wasn't applied.
Finally, an OOM check was missing, add it in.
PID1 may modified the environment passed by the kernel when it starts
running. Commit 9d48671c62 unset $HOME for
example.
In case PID1 is going to switch to a new root and execute a new system manager
which is not systemd, we should restore the original environment as the new
manager might expect some variables to be set by default (more specifically
$HOME).
We have the problem that many early boot or late shutdown issues are harder
to solve than they could be because we have no logs. When journald is not
running, messages are redirected to /dev/kmsg. It is also the time when many
things happen in a rapid succession, so we tend to hit the kernel printk
ratelimit fairly reliably. The end result is that we get no logs from the time
where they would be most useful. Thus let's disable the kernels ratelimit.
Once the system is up and running, the ratelimit is not a problem. But during
normal runtime, things also log to journald, and not to /dev/kmsg, so the
ratelimit is not useful. Hence, there doesn't seem to be much point in trying
to restore the ratelimit after boot is finished and journald is up and running.
See kernel's commit 750afe7babd117daabebf4855da18e4418ea845e for the
description of the kenrel interface. Our setting has lower precedence than
explicit configuration on the kenrel command line.
I was debugging stuff during early boot, and was confused that I never
found the logs for it in kmsg. The reason for that was that /proc is
generally not mounted the first time we do log_open() and hence
log_set_target(LOG_TARGET_KMSG) we do when running as PID 1 had not
effect. A lot later during start-up we call log_open() again where this
is fixed (after the point where we close all remaining fds still open),
but in the meantime no logs every got written to kmsg. This patch fixes
that.
This option is only used on reboot, not on other types of shutdown
modes, so it is misleading.
Keep the old name working for backward compatibility, but remove it
from the documentation.
Rather than always enabling the shutdown WD on kexec, which might be
dangerous in case the kernel driver and/or the hardware implementation
does not reset the wd on kexec, add a new timer, disabled by default,
to let users optionally enable the shutdown WD on kexec separately
from the runtime and reboot ones. Advise in the documentation to
also use the runtime WD in conjunction with it.
Fixes: a637d0f9ec ("core: set shutdown watchdog on kexec too")
At the moment the shutdown watchdog is set only when rebooting.
The set of "things that can go wrong" is not too far off when kexec'ing
and in fact we have a use case where it would be useful - moving to a
new kernel image.
Commit fb39af4ce4 forgot to restore the default
rlimit values (RLIMIT_NOFILE and RLIMIT_MEMLOCK) while PID1 is reloading.
This patch extracts the code in charge of initializing the default values for
those rlimits in order to create dedicated functions, which take care of their
initialization.
These functions are then called in parse_configuration() so we make sure that
the default values for these rlimits get restored every time PID1 is reloading
its configuration.
Make possible to set NUMA allocation policy for manager. Manager's
policy is by default inherited to all forked off processes. However, it
is possible to override the policy on per-service basis. Currently we
support, these policies: default, prefer, bind, interleave, local.
See man 2 set_mempolicy for details on each policy.
Overall NUMA policy actually consists of two parts. Policy itself and
bitmask representing NUMA nodes where is policy effective. Node mask can
be specified using related option, NUMAMask. Default mask can be
overwritten on per-service level.
Since kernel 5.2 the kernel thankfully returns proper errors when we
write a value out of range to the sysctl. Which however breaks writing
ULONG_MAX to request the maximum value. Hence let's write the new
maximum value instead, LONG_MAX.

If we had a configuration setting from a configuration file, and it was
removed, we'd still remember the old value, because there's was no mechanism to
"reset" everything, just to assign new values.
Note that the effect of this is limited. For settings that have an "ongoing" effect,
like systemd.confirm_spawn, the new value is simply used. But some settings can only
be set at start.
In particular, CPUAffinity= will be updated if set to a new value, but if
CPUAffinity= is fully removed, it will not be reset, simply because we don't
know what to reset it to. We might have inherited a setting, or we might have
set it ourselves. In principle we could remember the "original" value that was
set when we were executed, but propagate this over reloads and reexecs, but
that would be a lot of work for little gain. So this corner case of removal of
CPUAffinity= is not handled fully, and a reboot is needed to execute the
change. As a work-around, a full mask of CPUAffinity=0-8191 can be specified.
We have settings which may be set on the kernel command line, and also
in /proc/cmdline (for pid1). The settings in /proc/cmdline have higher priority
of course. When a reload was done, we'd reload just the configuration file,
losing the overrides.
So read /proc/cmdline again during reload.
Also, when initially reading the configuration file when program starts,
don't treat any errors as fatal. The configuration done in there doesn't
seem important enough to refuse boot.
This makes the handling of this option match what we do in unit files. I think
consistency is important here. (As it happens, it is the only option in
system.conf that is "non-atomic", i.e. where there's a list of things which can
be split over multiple assignments. All other options are single-valued, so
there's no issue of how to handle multiple assignments.)
The CPU_SET_S api is pretty bad. In particular, it has a parameter for the size
of the array, but operations which take two (CPU_EQUAL_S) or even three arrays
(CPU_{AND,OR,XOR}_S) still take just one size. This means that all arrays must
be of the same size, or buffer overruns will occur. This is exactly what our
code would do, if it received an array of unexpected size over the network.
("Unexpected" here means anything different from what cpu_set_malloc() detects
as the "right" size.)
Let's rework this, and store the size in bytes of the allocated storage area.
The code will now parse any number up to 8191, independently of what the current
kernel supports. This matches the kernel maximum setting for any architecture,
to make things more portable.
Fixes#12605.
When shooting down a service with SIGABRT the user might want to have a
much longer stop timeout than on regular stops/shutdowns. Especially in
the face of short stop timeouts the time might not be sufficient to
write huge core dumps before the service is killed.
This commit adds a dedicated (Default)TimeoutAbortSec= timer that is
used when stopping a service via SIGABRT. In all other cases the
existing TimeoutStopSec= is used. The timer value is unset by default
to skip the special handling and use TimeoutStopSec= for state
'stop-watchdog' to keep the old behaviour.
If the service is in state 'stop-watchdog' and the service should be
stopped explicitly we still go to 'stop-sigterm' and re-apply the usual
TimeoutStopSec= timeout.
This adds a new per-service OOMPolicy= (along with a global
DefaultOOMPolicy=) that controls what to do if a process of the service
is killed by the kernel's OOM killer. It has three different values:
"continue" (old behaviour), "stop" (terminate the service), "kill" (let
the kernel kill all the service's processes).
On top of that, track OOM killer events per unit: generate a per-unit
structured, recognizable log message when we see an OOM killer event,
and put the service in a failure state if an OOM killer event was seen
and the selected policy was not "continue". A new "result" is defined
for this case: "oom-kill".
All of this relies on new cgroupv2 kernel functionality: the
"memory.events" notification interface and the "memory.oom.group"
attribute (which makes the kernel kill all cgroup processes
automatically).
