Throughout the tree there's spurious use of spaces separating ++ and --
operators from their respective operands. Make ++ and -- operator
consistent with the majority of existing uses; discard the spaces.
If we are not PID 1 and started as init, we executing systemctl
with execv(). Here no need to set errno manually, because in a
failure case, because the execv() anyway will set errno depends
on a error.
The kernel sets RLIMIT_CORE to 0 by default. Let's bump this to unlimited by
default (for systemd itself and all processes we fork off), so that the
coredump hooks have an effect if they honour it.
Bumping RLIMIT_CORE of course would have the effect that "core" files will end
up on the system at various places, if no coredump hook is used. To avoid this,
make sure PID1 sets the core pattern to the empty string by default, so that
this logic is disabled.
This change in defaults should be useful for all systems where coredump hooks
are used, as it allows useful usage of RLIMIT_CORE from these hooks again. OTOH
systems that expect that coredumps are placed under the name "core" in the
current directory will break with this change. Given how questionnable this
behaviour is, and given that no common distro makes use of this by default it
shouldn't be too much of a loss. Also, the old behaviour may be restored by
explicitly configuring a "core_pattern" of "core", and setting the default
system RLIMIT_CORE to 0 again via system.conf.
For use in timesyncd we already defined a compile-time "epoch" value, which is based on the mtime of the NEWS file, and
specifies a point in time we know lies in the past at runtime. timesyncd uses this to filter out nonsensical timestamp
file data, and bump the system clock to a time that is after the build time of systemd. This patch adds similar bumping
code to earliest PID 1 initialization, so that the system never continues operation with a clock that is in the 1970ies
or even 1930s.
This clean-ups timeout handling in PID 1. Specifically, instead of storing 0 in internal timeout variables as
indication for a disabled timeout, use USEC_INFINITY which is in-line with how we do this in the rest of our code
(following the logic that 0 means "no", and USEC_INFINITY means "never").
This also replace all usec_t additions with invocations to usec_add(), so that USEC_INFINITY is properly propagated,
and sd-event considers it has indication for turning off the event source.
This also alters the deserialization of the units to restart timeouts from the time they were originally started from.
Before this patch timeouts would be restarted beginning with the time of the deserialization, which could lead to
artificially prolonged timeouts if a daemon reload took place.
Finally, a new RuntimeMaxSec= setting is introduced for service units, that specifies a maximum runtime after which a
specific service is forcibly terminated. This is useful to put time limits on time-intensive processing jobs.
This also simplifies the various xyz_spawn() calls of the various types in that explicit distruction of the timers is
removed, as that is done anyway by the state change handlers, and a state change is always done when the xyz_spawn()
calls fail.
Fixes: #2249
Allow for overriding all other machine-ids which may be present on
the system using a kernel command line systemd.machine_id or
--machine-id= option.
This is especially useful for network booted systems where the
machine-id needs to be static, or for containers where a specific
machine-id is wanted.
Change the capability bounding set parser and logic so that the bounding
set is kept as a positive set internally. This means that the set
reflects those capabilities that we want to keep instead of drop.
GLIB has recently started to officially support the gcc cleanup
attribute in its public API, hence let's do the same for our APIs.
With this patch we'll define an xyz_unrefp() call for each public
xyz_unref() call, to make it easy to use inside a
__attribute__((cleanup())) expression. Then, all code is ported over to
make use of this.
The new calls are also documented in the man pages, with examples how to
use them (well, I only added docs where the _unref() call itself already
had docs, and the examples, only cover sd_bus_unrefp() and
sd_event_unrefp()).
This also renames sd_lldp_free() to sd_lldp_unref(), since that's how we
tend to call our destructors these days.
Note that this defines no public macro that wraps gcc's attribute and
makes it easier to use. While I think it's our duty in the library to
make our stuff easy to use, I figure it's not our duty to make gcc's own
features easy to use on its own. Most likely, client code which wants to
make use of this should define its own:
#define _cleanup_(function) __attribute__((cleanup(function)))
Or similar, to make the gcc feature easier to use.
Making this logic public has the benefit that we can remove three header
files whose only purpose was to define these functions internally.
See #2008.
Now that we don't have RequiresOverridable= and RequisiteOverridable=
dependencies anymore, we can get rid of tracking the "override" boolean
for jobs in the job engine, as it serves no purpose anymore.
While we are at it, fix some error messages we print when invoking
functions that take the override parameter.
The macro is generically useful for putting together search paths, hence
let's make it truly generic, by dropping the implicit ".d" appending it
does, and leave that to the caller. Also rename it from
CONF_DIRS_NULSTR() to CONF_PATHS_NULSTR(), since it's not strictly about
dirs that way, but any kind of file system path.
Also, mark CONF_DIR_SPLIT_USR() as internal macro by renaming it to
_CONF_PATHS_SPLIT_USR() so that the leading underscore indicates that
it's internal.
Let's make things more user-friendly and support for example
LimitAS=16G
rather than force users to always use LimitAS=16106127360.
The change is relevant for options:
[Default]Limit{FSIZE,DATA,STACK,CORE,RSS,AS,MEMLOCK,MSGQUEUE}
The patch introduces config_parse_bytes_limit(), it's the same as
config_parse_limit() but uses parse_size() tu support the suffixes.

util-linux 2.27.1 now entirely stops looking at /etc/mtab, so we don't need to
verify /etc/mtab during early boot any more. Later on, tmpfiles.d/etc.conf will
fix /etc/mtab anyway, so there's not even a point in warning about it.
Drop test_mtab() and bump the util-linux dependency to >= 2.17.1.
Fixes#1495
The files are named too generically, so that they might conflict with
the upstream project headers. Hence, let's add a "-util" suffix, to
clarify that this are just our utility headers and not any official
upstream headers.
Instead of freezing in PID1 and letting the forked child freeze or
reboot when exec("/bin/sh") fails, just wait for the child's
exit and then do the freeze_or_reboot in PID1 as usual.
This means that when both crash_shell and crash_reboot are enabled, the
system will reboot after the shell exits.
This adds support for caching harddisk passwords in the kernel keyring
if it is available, thus supporting caching without Plymouth being
around.
This is also useful for hooking up "gdm-auto-login" with the collected
boot-time harddisk password, in order to support gnome keyring
passphrase unlocking via the HDD password, if it is the same.
Any passwords added to the kernel keyring this way have a timeout of
2.5min at which time they are purged from the kernel.
- Rely everywhere that we use abs() on the error code passed in anyway,
thus don't need to explicitly negate what we pass in
- Never attach synthetic error number information to log messages. Only
log about errors we *receive* with the error number we got there,
don't log any synthetic error, that don#t even propagate, but just eat
up.
- Be more careful with attaching exactly the error we get, instead of
errno or unrelated errors randomly.
- Fix one occasion where the error number and line number got swapped.
- Make sure we never tape over OOM issues, or inability to resolve
specifiers
This introduces a new systemd.crash_reboot=1 kernel command line option
that triggers a reboot after crashing.
This also cleans up crash VT handling. Specifically, it cleans up the
configuration setting, to be between 1..63 or a boolean. This is to
replace the previous logic where "-1" meant disabled. We continue to
accept that setting, but only document the boolean syntax instead.
This also brings the documentation of the default settings in sync with
what actually happens.
The CrashChVT= configuration file setting is renamed to CrashChangeVT=,
following our usual logic of not abbreviating unnecessarily. The old
setting stays support for compat reasons.
Fixes#1300
