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.
This is really basic stuff and in a follow-up commit will use it all
across the codebase, including in process-util.[ch] which is in
src/basic/. Hence let's move it back to src/basic/ itself.
This doesn't have much effect on the final build, because we link libbasic.a
into libsystemd-shared.so, so in the end, all the object built from basic/
end up in libsystemd-shared. And when the static library is linked into binaries,
any objects that are included in it but are not used are trimmed. Hence, the
size of output artifacts doesn't change:
$ du -sb /var/tmp/inst*
54181861 /var/tmp/inst1 (old)
54207441 /var/tmp/inst1s (old split-usr)
54182477 /var/tmp/inst2 (new)
54208041 /var/tmp/inst2s (new split-usr)
(The negligible change in size is because libsystemd-shared.so is bigger
by a few hundred bytes. I guess it's because symbols are named differently
or something like that.)
The effect is on the build process, in particular partial builds. This change
effectively moves the requirements on some build steps toward the leaves of the
dependency tree. Two effects:
- when building items that do not depend on libsystemd-shared, we
build less stuff for libbasic.a (which wouldn't be used anyway,
so it's a net win).
- when building items that do depend on libshared, we reduce libbasic.a as a
synchronization point, possibly allowing better parallelism.
Method:
1. copy list of .h files from src/basic/meson.build to /tmp/basic
2. $ for i in $(grep '.h$' /tmp/basic); do echo $i; git --no-pager grep "include \"$i\"" src/basic/ 'src/lib*' 'src/nss-*' 'src/journal/sd-journal.c' |grep -v "${i%.h}.c";echo ;done | less
As preparation for OCI support in nspawn, let's add a JSON parser.
The json.h file contains an explanation why this is new code instead of
just us linking against an existing JSON library.
Unfortunately this needs libshared to link to libkmod. Before it was linked
into systemd-udevd, udevadm, and systemd each seperately. On most systems this
doesn't make much difference, because at least systemd would be installed, but
it might not be in small chroots. It is a small library, so I hope this is not
a big issue.
This means that when those targets are built, all the sources are built again,
instead of reusing the work done to create libbasic.a and other convenience static
libraries. It would be nice to not do this, but there seems to be no support in
our toolchain for joining multiple static libraries into one. When linking
a static library, any -l arguments are simply ignored by ar/gcc-ar, and .a
libraries given as positional arguments are copied verbatim into the archive
so they objects in them cannot be accessed.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2157629/linking-static-libraries-to-other-static-libraries
suggests either unzipping all the archives and putting them back togather,
or using a linker script. Unzipping and zipping back together seems ugly.
The other option is not very nice. The linker script language does not
allow "+" to appear in the filenames, and filenames that meson generates
use that, so files would have to be renamed before a linker script was used.
And we would have to generate the linker script on the fly. Either way, this
doesn't seem attractive. Since those static libraries are a niche use case,
it seems reasonable to just go with the easiest and safest solution and
recompile all the source files. Thanks to ccache, this is probably almost as
cheap as actually reusing the convenience .a libraries.
test-libsystemd-sym.c and test-libudev-sym.c compile fine with the generated
static libs, so it seems that they indeed provide all the symbols they should.
We have plenty of code in our codebase that outputs tables to the
console, and all is homegrown and awful. Let's replace it with a generic
implementation that can do automatically what the old implementations
did manually.
Features:
1. Ellipsation (for fields overly long) and alignment (for
fields overly short)
2. Sorting of rows
3. automatically copies formatting from the same cell in the row above
4. Heavy use of varargs to make putting together tables easy
5. can expand and compress tables, with weights
6. Has a minimal understanding of unicode wide characters in order to
match unicode strings to character cell terminals.
7. Columns can be reordered and individually turned off.
8. pretty printing for various data types
And more.
pager.[ch] doesn't use any APIs from src/libsystemd/ or src/shared/
hence there's no reason for it to be in src/shared/, let's move it to
src/basic/ instead.
This enables us to use pager.[ch] APIs from other code in src/basic/,
for example pager_have() and suchlike.
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 is primarily preparation for a follow-up commit that adds a common
implementation of the other side of the reboot parameter file, i.e. the
code that reads the file and issues reboot() for it.
This mimics the raw_clone() call we have in place already and
establishes a new syscall wrapper raw_reboot() that wraps the kernel's
reboot() system call in a bit more low-level fashion that glibc's
reboot() wrapper. The main difference is that the extra "arg" argument
is supported.
Ultimately this just replaces the syscall wrapper implementation we
currently have at three places in our codebase by a single one.
With this change this means that all our syscall() invocations are
neatly separated out in static inline system call wrappers in our header
functions.
We were including gcrypt-util.[ch] by hand in the few places where it
was used. Create a convenience library to avoid compiling the same
files multiple times.
v2:
- use a separate static library instead of mergin into libbasic
gcrypt_util_sources had to be moved because otherwise they appeared twice
in libshared.so halfproducts, causing an error.
-fvisibility=default is added to libbasic, libshared_static so that the symbols
appear properly in the exported symbol list in libshared.
The advantage is that files are not compiled twice. When configured with -Dman=false,
the ninja target list is reduced from 1588 to 1347 targets. The difference in compilation
time is small (<10%). I think this is because of -O0 and ccache and multiple cores, and
in different settings the compilation time could be reduced. The main advantage is that
errors and warnings are not reported twice.
So far I avoided adding license headers to meson files, but they are pretty
big and important and should carry license headers like everything else.
I added my own copyright, even though other people modified those files too.
But this is mostly symbolic, so I hope that's OK.
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)
The indentation for emacs'es meson-mode is added .dir-locals.
All files are reindented automatically, using the lasest meson-mode from git.
Indentation should now be fairly consistent.
This implementation assumes that the arguments in compiler.cmd_array()
don't contain any spaces. Since we are only interested in compilation
on Linux, I think this is a safe assumption.
Solution suggested by Nirbheek Chauhan.
It's crucial that we can build systemd using VS2010!
... er, wait, no, that's not the official reason. We need to shed old systems
by requring python 3! Oh, no, it's something else. Maybe we need to throw out
345 years of knowlege accumulated in autotools? Whatever, this new thing is
cool and shiny, let's use it.
This is not complete, I'm throwing it out here for your amusement and critique.
- rules for sd-boot are missing. Those might be quite complicated.
- rules for tests are missing too. Those are probably quite simple and
repetitive, but there's lots of them.
- it's likely that I didn't get all the conditions right, I only tested "full"
compilation where most deps are provided and nothing is disabled.
- busname.target and all .busname units are skipped on purpose.
Otherwise, installation into $DESTDIR has the same list of files and the
autoconf install, except for .la files.
It'd be great if people had a careful look at all the library linking options.
I added stuff until things compiled, and in the end there's much less linking
then in the old system. But it seems that there's still a lot of unnecessary
deps.
meson has a `shared_module` statement, which sounds like something appropriate
for our nss and pam modules. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to work. For the
nss modules, we need an .so version of '2', but `shared_module` disallows the
version argument. For the pam module, it also didn't work, I forgot the reason.
The handling of .m4 and .in and .m4.in files is rather awkward. It's likely
that this could be simplified. If make support is ever dropped, I think it'd
make sense to switch to a different templating system so that two different
languages and not required, which would make everything simpler yet.
v2:
- use get_pkgconfig_variable
- use sh not bash
- use add_project_arguments
v3:
- drop required:true and fix progs/prog typo
v4:
- use find_library('bz2')
- add TTY_GID definition
- define __SANE_USERSPACE_TYPES__
- use join_paths(prefix, ...) is used on all paths to make them all absolute
v5:
- replace all declare_dependency's with []
- add more conf.get guards around optional components
v6:
- drop -pipe, -Wall which are the default in meson
- use compiler.has_function() and compiler.has_header_symbol instead of the
hand-rolled checks.
- fix duplication in 'liblibsystemd' library name
- use the right .sym file for pam_systemd
- rename 'compiler' to 'cc': shorter, and more idiomatic.
v7:
- use ENABLE_ENVIRONMENT_D not HAVE_ENVIRONMENT_D
- rename prefix to prefixdir, rootprefix to rootprefixdir
("prefix" is too common of a name and too easy to overwrite by mistake)
- wrap more stuff with conf.get('ENABLE...') == 1
- use rootprefix=='/' and rootbindir as install_dir, to fix paths under
split-usr==true.
v8:
- use .split() also for src/coredump. Now everything is consistent ;)
- add rootlibdir option and use it on the libraries that require it
v9:
- indentation
v10:
- fix check for qrencode and libaudit
v11:
- unify handling of executable paths, provide options for all progs
This makes the meson build behave slightly differently than the
autoconf-based one, because we always first try to find the executable in the
filesystem, and fall back to the default. I think different handling of
loadkeys, setfont, and telinit was just a historical accident.
In addition to checking in $PATH, also check /usr/sbin/, /sbin for programs.
In Fedora $PATH includes /usr/sbin, (and /sbin is is a symlink to /usr/sbin),
but in Debian, those directories are not included in the path.

- call all the options 'xxx-path' for clarity.
- sort man/rules/meson.build properly so it's stable
