It if of course related to /proc/cmdline parsing, but is higher-level
functionality built on top of it. It should be in shared/ because it
is something to be used by pid1 and related utilities, not something for
level-level libraries.
v2:
- do not watch mtime of transient and generated dirs
We'd reload the map after every transient unit we created, which we don't
need to do, since we create those units ourselves and know their fragment
path.
This reworks how we load units from disk. Instead of chasing symlinks every
time we are asked to load a unit by name, we slurp all symlinks from disk
and build two hashmaps:
1. from unit name to either alias target, or fragment on disk
(if an alias, we put just the target name in the hashmap, if a fragment
we put an absolute path, so we can distinguish both).
2. from a unit name to all aliases
Reading all this data can be pretty costly (40 ms) on my machine, so we keep it
around for reuse.
The advantage is that we can reliably know what all the aliases of a given unit
are. This means we can reliably load dropins under all names. This fixes#11972.
It turns out most possible symlinks are invalid, because the type has to match,
and template units can only be linked to template units.
I'm not sure if the existing code made the same checks consistently. At least
I don't see the same rules expressed in a single place.
This file was testing a mix of functions from src/core/load-fragment.c and some
from src/shared/install.c. Let's name it more appropriately. I want to add
tests for the new unit-file.c too.
This splits out a bunch of functions from fileio.c that have to do with
temporary files. Simply to make the header files a bit shorter, and to
group things more nicely.
No code changes, just some rearranging of source files.
Now that we don't (mis-)use the env file parser to parse kernel command
lines there's no need anymore to override the used newline character
set. Let's hence drop the argument and just "\n\r" always. This nicely
simplifies our code.
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary.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.
This simplifies the use of tempfiles in tests and fixes "leaked"
temporary files in test-fileio, test-catalog, test-conf-parser.
Not the whole tree is converted.
That way we can use it in nspawn.
Also, while we are at it, let's rename the call config_parse_rlimit(),
i.e. insert the "r", to clarify what kind of limit this is about.
We were inconsitently using them in some cases, but in majority not.
Using assignment in assert_se is very common, not an exception like in
'if', so let's drop the extra parens everywhere.
Those are quite similar to %i/%I, but refer to the last dash-separated
component of the name prefix.
The new functionality of dash-dropins could largely supersede the template
functionality, so it would be tempting to overload %i/%I. But that would
not be backwards compatible. So let's add the two new letters instead.
Double newlines (i.e. one empty lines) are great to structure code. But
let's avoid triple newlines (i.e. two empty lines), quadruple newlines,
quintuple newlines, …, that's just spurious whitespace.
It's an easy way to drop 121 lines of code, and keeps the coding style
of our sources a bit tigther.
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.
Now generators are only run in systemd --test mode, where this makes
most sense (how are you going to test what would happen otherwise?).
Fixes#6842.
v2:
- rename test_run to test_run_flags
Without this "meson test" will end up running all tests in the same
cgroup root, and they all will try to manage it. Which usually isn't too
bad, except when they end up clearing up each other's cgroups. This race
is hard to trigger but has caused various CI runs to fail spuriously.
With this change we simply move every test that runs a manager object
into their own private cgroup. Note that we don't clean up the cgroup at
the end, we leave that to the cgroup manager around it.
This fixes races that become visible by test runs throwing out errors
like this:
```
exec-systemcallfilter-failing.service: Passing 0 fds to service

```
BTW, I tracked this race down by using perf:
```
# perf record -e cgroup:cgroup_mkdir,cgroup_rmdir
…
# perf script
```
Thanks a lot @iaguis, @alban for helping me how to use perf for this.
Fixes#5895.
If an error is encountered in any of the Exec* lines, WorkingDirectory,
SELinuxContext, ApparmorProfile, SmackProcessLabel, Service (in .socket
units), User, or Group, refuse to load the unit. If the config stanza
has support, ignore the failure if '-' is present.
For those configuration directives, even if we started the unit, it's
pretty likely that it'll do something unexpected (like write files
in a wrong place, or with a wrong context, or run with wrong permissions,
etc). It seems better to refuse to start the unit and have the admin
clean up the configuration without giving the service a chance to mess
up stuff.
Note that all "security" options that restrict what the unit can do
(Capabilities, AmbientCapabilities, Restrict*, SystemCallFilter, Limit*,
PrivateDevices, Protect*, etc) are _not_ treated like this. Such options are
only supplementary, and are not always available depending on the architecture
and compilation options, so unit authors have to make sure that the service
runs correctly without them anyway.
Fixes#6237, #6277.
According to its manual page, flags given to mkostemp(3) shouldn't include
O_RDWR, O_CREAT or O_EXCL flags as these are always included. Beyond
those, the only flag that all callers (except a few tests where it
probably doesn't matter) use is O_CLOEXEC, so set that unconditionally.
