These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary.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.
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.
This adds IOVEC_INIT() and IOVEC_MAKE() for initializing iovec structures
from a pointer and a size. On top of these IOVEC_INIT_STRING() and
IOVEC_MAKE_STRING() are added which take a string and automatically
determine the size of the string using strlen().
This patch removes the old IOVEC_SET_STRING() macro, given that
IOVEC_MAKE_STRING() is now useful for similar purposes. Note that the
old IOVEC_SET_STRING() invocations were two characters shorter than the
new ones using IOVEC_MAKE_STRING(), but I think the new syntax is more
readable and more generic as it simply resolves to a C99 literal
structure initialization. Moreover, we can use very similar syntax now
for initializing strings and pointer+size iovec entries. We canalso use
the new macros to initialize function parameters on-the-fly or array
definitions. And given that we shouldn't have so many ways to do the
same stuff, let's just settle on the new macros.
(This also converts some code to use _cleanup_ where dynamically
allocated strings were using IOVEC_SET_STRING() before, to modernize
things a bit)
timespec::tv_nsec can have different sizes depending on the
host architecture. On x32 in particular, it is 8 bytes long
while the long int type is only 4 bytes long. Hence, using
ld as a format specifier will trigger a format error. Thus,
explicitly cast timespec::tv_nsec to nsec_t and use PRI_NSEC
as the format specifier to make sure the sizes for both match.
We don't have plural in the name of any other -util files and this
inconsistency trips me up every time I try to type this file name
from memory. "formats-util" is even hard to pronounce.
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.
If we scale our buffer to be wide enough for the format string, we
should expect that the calculation was correct.
char_array_0() invocations are removed, since snprintf nul-terminates
the output in any case.
A similar wrapper is used for strftime calls, but only in timedatectl.c.
If the format string contains %m, clearly errno must have a meaningful
value, so we might as well use log_*_errno to have ERRNO= logged.
Using:
find . -name '*.[ch]' | xargs sed -r -i -e \
's/log_(debug|info|notice|warning|error|emergency)\((".*%m.*")/log_\1_errno(errno, \2/'
Plus some whitespace, linewrap, and indent adjustments.
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 point is to allow the use of journald functions by other binaries.
Before, journald code was split into multiple files (journald-*.[ch]),
but all those files all required functions from journald.c. And
journald.c has its own main(). Now, it is possible to link against
those functions, e.g. from test binaries.
This constitutes a fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=872638.
The patch does the following:
1. rename journald.h to journald-server.h and move corresponding code
to journald-server.c.
2. add journald-server.c and other journald-*.c parts to
libsystemd-journal-internal.
3. remove journald-syslog.c from test_journal_syslog_SOURCES, since
it is now contained in libsystemd-journal-internal.
There are no code changes, apart from the removal of a few static's,
to allow function calls between files.
