We allocated the names set for each unit, but in the majority of cases, we'd
put only one name in the set:
$ systemctl show --value -p Names '*'|grep .|grep -v ' '|wc -l
564
$ systemctl show --value -p Names '*'|grep .|grep ' '|wc -l
16
So let's add a separate .id field, and only store aliases in the set, and only
create the set if there's at least one alias. This requires a bit of gymnastics
in the code, but I think this optimization is worth the trouble, because we
save one object for many loaded units.
In particular set_complete_move() wasn't very useful because the target
unit would always have at least one name defined, i.e. the optimization to
move the whole set over would never fire.
It had two users, but it is just a very thin wrapper around
unit_file_find_dropin_paths(), so using it seems more complicated than directly
invoking unit_file_find_dropin_paths() twice.
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary.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.
Essentially, instead of sequentially adding deps based on all symlinks
encountered in .wants and .requires dirs for each name and each unit file load
path, iteratate over the load paths and unit names gathering symlinks, then
order them based on priority, and then iterate over the final list, adding
dependencies.
This patch doesn't change the logic too much, except that the order in which
dependencies are applied might be different. It wasn't defined before, so that
not really a change. Adding filtering on the symlinks is left for later
patches.
The general rule is:
- code in shared/ should take an "original_root" argument (possibly NULL)
and pass it along down to chase_symlinks
- code in core/ should always use specify original_root==NULL, since we
don't support running the manager from non-root directory
- code in systemctl and other tools should pass arg_root.
For any code that is called from tools which support --root, chase_symlinks
must be used to look up paths.
A long time ago – when generators where first introduced – the directories for
them were randomly created via mkdtemp(). This was changed later so that they
use fixed name directories now. Let's make use of this, and add the genrator
dirs to the LookupPaths structure and into the unit file search path maintained
in it. This has the benefit that the generator dirs are now normal part of the
search path for all tools, and thus are shown in "systemctl list-unit-files"
too.
#pragma once has been "un-deprecated" in gcc since 3.3, and is widely supported
in other compilers.
I've been using and maintaining (rebasing) this patch for a while now, as
it annoyed me to see #ifndef fooblahfoo, etc all over the place,
almost arrogant about the annoyance of having to define all these names to
perform a commen but neccicary functionality, when a completely superior
alternative exists.
I havn't sent it till now, cause its kindof a style change, and it is bad
voodoo to mess with style that has been established by more established
editors. So feel free to lambast me as a crazy bafoon.
v2 - preserve externally used headers
We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to
relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+.
Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into
relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within
systemd.
The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT.
The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now
link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.
