"--offset" takes an optional argument; if none is specified,
stroull() will attempt to parse a NULL pointer. For example:
$ udevadm test-builtin 'blkid --offset' /sys/dev/block/8:1
Update "--offset" to require an argument; also verify that the
offset is not negative.
"-m" is specified as a short form of "--monitor" in the option struct,
but not included in getopt_long's optstring. Update the optstring
to be consistent with the option struct.
E.g. if you have a monthly event and you set the computer clock back one
year, we can allow the next 12 monthly events to happen naturally. In fact
we already do this when you start a Persistent=yes timer, we just need to
apply the same logic when it's running and we notice the system clock
being set backwards.
On timejumps, including suspend, timer_time_change() calls for a
re-calculation of the next elapse. Sadly I'm not quite sure what the
intended effect of this was! Because it was not managing to fire
OnCalendar= timers which fired during the suspend... unless the timer had
already fired once before.
Reported, entirely correctly as far as I can see, on stackexchange:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/351829/systemd-timer-that-expired-while-suspended
/* If we know the last time this was
* triggered, schedule the job based relative
- * to that. If we don't just start from
- * now. */
+ * to that. If we don't, just start from
+ * the activation time. */
The same code is called for both the initial calculation and this
re-calculation. If we're _not_ already active, then this is before the
activation time has been recorded in the unit, so just use the current
time as before. The new code is mechanically adapted from the same
logic for `OnActiveSec=` (case TIMER_ACTIVE in the code which follows).
Tested with `date --set`.
Motivations:
* Rotate monitoring data from Atop into files which are named per-day.
Fedora currently implements this with a cron job that runs at midnight,
but that didn't handle suspend correctly either.
* unbound-anchor.timer on Fedora, is used to update DNSSEC "root trust
anchor" daily, before the TTL expires. It uses OnCalendar=daily
AccuracySec=24h. Which is a bit suspect because the TTL is 2 days, but I
think it has the right general idea.
None of the other timer settings are correct, because they would not
account for time spent in suspend. Unless you set WakeSystem
(this feature is currently undocumented).
* So in general, we can expect to see people using OnCalendar= for the same
cases as cron.daily and cron.monthly. Which use anacron to keep track of
jobs which should be run even if the system was down at the time.
Timers which are configured to run more frequently than that, are
unlikely to mind if they get run slightly more often that the writer
realized, relative to the amount of time the system was really running.
* From the user report above: "I only want to use remind to show a desktop
notification, it seems excessive to wake up the computer for that. Also,
I would like to get the reminder first thing in the morning, so the
OnActiveSec doesn't help with that."
We have two variables `b` and `base`. `b` is declared within limited
scope; `base` is declared at the top of the function. However `base`
is actually only used within a scope which is exclusive of `b`. Clarify
by moving `base` inside the limited scope as well.
(Also `base` doesn't need initializing any more than `b` does. The
declaration of `base` is now immediately followed by a case analysis of
`v->base`, which serves almost exclusively to determine the value of
`base`).
The script shouldn't rely on a previous script exiting with a status code
that prevents it to be executed. Instead, should check if the destination
directory for the BLS kernel image exists and exit otherwise.
At various places we only want to close fds if they are not
stdin/stdout/stderr, i.e. fds 0, 1, 2. Let's add a unified helper call
for that, and port everything over.
This reworks system call filter parsing, and replaces a couple of "bool"
function arguments by a single flags parameter.
This shouldn't change behaviour, except for one case: when we
recursively call our parsing function on our own syscall list, then
we'll lower the log level to LOG_DEBUG from LOG_WARNING, because at that
point things are just a problem in our own code rather than in the user
configuration we are parsing, and we shouldn't hence generate confusing
warnings about syntax errors.
Fixes: #8261
I figure sooneror later we'll have more of these docs, hence let's give
them a clean place to be.
This leaves NEWS and README/README.md as well as the LICENSE texts in
the root directory of the project since that appears to be customary for
Free Software projects.
We maintain a queue of units and jobs that we are supposed to generate
change/new notifications for because they were either just created or
some of their property has changed. Let's throttle processing of this
queue a bit: as soon as > 1K of bus messages are queued for writing
let's skip processing the queue, and then recheck on the next
iteration again.
Moreover, never process more than 100 units in one go, return to the
event loop after that. Both limits together should put effective limits
on both space and time usage of the function, delaying further
operations until a later moment, when the queue is empty or the the
event loop is sufficiently idle again.
This should keep the number of generated messages much lower than
before on busy systems or where some client is hanging.
Note that this also means a bad client can slow down message dispatching
substantially for up to 90s if it likes to, for all clients. But that
should be acceptable as we only allow trusted bus clients, anyway.
Fixes: #8166
This is an optimization: there's no point in enqueuing unit and job
change notificiation signal messages into bus connection that aren't
fully set up yet.
This doesn't fix#8166 but should lower the load of messages enqueued
but not processed yet a bit.

The comma is actually optional but the script makes it mandatory which seems a
good thing since it improves readability.
There isn't much difference, but in general we prefer to use the standard
functions. glibc provides reallocarray since version 2.26.
I moved explicit_bzero is configure test to the bottom, so that the two stdlib
functions are at the bottom.
