./configure --enable/disable-kdbus can be used to set the default
behavior regarding kdbus.
If no kdbus kernel support is available, dbus-dameon will be used.
With --enable-kdbus, the kernel command line option "kdbus=0" can
be used to disable kdbus.
With --disable-kdbus, the kernel command line option "kdbus=1" is
required to enable kdbus support.
XDG refers to X Desktop Group, a former name for freedesktop.org.
This group is responsible for specifications like basedirs,
.desktop files and icon naming, but as far as I know, it has never
tried to redefine basename().
I think these references were meant to say XPG (X/Open Portability
Guide), a precursor of POSIX. POSIX is better-known and less easily
confused with XDG, and is how the basename(3) man page describes
the libgen.h version of basename().
The other version of basename() is glibc-specific and is described
in basename(3) as "the GNU version"; specifically mention that
version, to disambiguate.
If NULL is specified for the bus it is now automatically derived from
the passed in message.
This commit also changes a number of invocations of sd_bus_send() to
make use of this.
This should simplify the prototype a bit. The bus parameter is redundant
in most cases, and in the few where it matters it can be derived from
the message via sd_bus_message_get_bus().
This fixes "machinectl login" on systems configured with --disable-kdbus.
The error was:
machinectl login foo
Failed to get machine PTY: Input/output error
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.
Also, allow clients to alter their own objects without any further
priviliges. i.e. this allows clients to kill and lock their own sessions
without involving PK.
They do not use any functions from libcap directly. The CAP_KILL constant in
use by these files comes from <linux/capability.h> imported through
"missing.h".
Tested that "systemd-machined" builds cleanly and works after this change.
This adds a new bus call to machined that enumerates /var/lib/container
and returns all trees stored in it, distuingishing three types:
- GPT disk images, which are files suffixed with ".gpt"
- directory trees
- btrfs subvolumes
In the long run this should become a full fledged client to networkd
(but not before networkd learns bus support). For now, just pull
interesting data out of networkd, udev, and rtnl and present it to the
user, in a simple but useful output.
Let's settle on a single type for all address family values, even if
UNIX is very inconsitent on the precise type otherwise. Given that
socket() is the primary entrypoint for the sockets API, and that uses
"int", and "int" is relatively simple and generic, we settle on "int"
for this.
This makes callback behaviour more like sd-event or sd-resolve, and
creates proper object for unregistering callbacks.
Taking the refernce to the slot is optional. If not taken life time of
the slot will be bound to the underlying bus object (or in the case of
an async call until the reply has been recieved).
The new calls work similarly, but enforce a that a common, fixed bus
path prefix is used.
This follows discussions with Simon McVittie on IRC that it should be a
good idea to make sure that people don't use the escaping applied here
too wildly as anything other than the last label of a bus path.
This way we can unify handling of credentials that are attached to
messages, or can be queried for bus name owners or connection peers.
This also adds the ability to extend incomplete credential information
with data from /proc,
Also, provide a convenience call that will automatically determine the
most appropriate credential object for an incoming message, by using the
the attached information if possible, the sending name information if
available and otherwise the peer's credentials.
Message handler callbacks can be simplified drastically if the
dispatcher automatically replies to method calls if errors are returned.
Thus: add an sd_bus_error argument to all message handlers. When we
dispatch a message handler and it returns negative or a set sd_bus_error
we send this as message error back to the client. This means errors
returned by handlers by default are given back to clients instead of
rippling all the way up to the event loop, which is desirable to make
things robust.
As a side-effect we can now easily turn the SELinux checks into normal
function calls, since the method call dispatcher will generate the right
error replies automatically now.
Also, make sure we always pass the error structure to all property and
method handlers as last argument to follow the usual style of passing
variables for return values as last argument.
