The implementation is pretty straight-foward: when we get a request to
clean some type of resources we fork off a process doing that, and while
it is running we are in the "cleaning" state.
This adds basic infrastructure to implement a "clean" operation for unit
types. This "clean" operation is supposed to remove on-disk resources of
units, and is supposed to be used in a later commit to clean our
RuntimeDirectory=, StateDirectory= and so on of service units.
Later commits will open this up to the bus, and hook up service units
with this.
This also adds a new generic ActiveState called UNIT_MAINTENANCE. It's
supposed to cover all kinds of "maintainance" state of units.
Specifically, this is supposed to cover the "cleaning" operations later
added for service units which might take a bit of time. This high-level,
generic, abstract state is called UNIT_MAINTENANCE instead of the
more specific "UNIT_CLEANING", since I think this should be kept open
for different operations possibly later on that could be nicely subsumed
under this (for example, maybe a recursive chown()ing operation could be
covered by this, and similar).
Allows configuring the watchdog signal (with a default of SIGABRT).
This allows an alternative to SIGABRT when coredumps are not desirable.
Appropriate references to SIGABRT or aborting were renamed to reflect
more liberal watchdog signals.
Closes#8658
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary. With
SPDX and git repository much more accurate and fine grained information
about licensing and authorship is available, hence let's drop the
per-file copyright notice. Of course, removing copyright lines of others
is problematic, hence this commit only removes my own lines and leaves
all others untouched. It might be nicer if sooner or later those could
go away too, making git the only and accurate source of authorship
information.
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.
Since bb28e68477 parsing failures of
certain unit file settings will result in load failures of units. This
introduces a new load state "bad-setting" that is entered in precisely
this case.
With this addition error messages on bad settings should be a lot more
explicit, as we don't have to show some generic "errno" error in that
case, but can explicitly say that a bad setting is at fault.
Internally this unit load state is entered as soon as any configuration
loader call returns ENOEXEC. Hence: config parser calls should return
ENOEXEC now for such essential unit file settings. Turns out, they
generally already do.
Fixes: #9107
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.
It always bothered me a bit that unit-name.[ch] contains so many
definitions that aren't really have much to do with unit nameing, for
example all the unit state definitions.
With this patch unit-name.[ch] is split into two: the file now contains
only the unit naming related operations, and everything else is split
out into a new set of files unit-def.[ch]. That's mostly unit state
stuff as well as dbus path and interface name operations.
No functional changes. This just moves code around.
(Note as both .c files include each other's headers this doesn't make
the build simpler or anything. All it does is make the C files a bit
shorter, and medicate my pretend OCD)
