For scripts, when we call fexecve(), on new kernels glibc calls execveat(),
which fails with ENOENT, and then we fall back to execve() which succeeds:
[pid 63039] execveat(3, "", ["/home/zbyszek/src/systemd/test/test-path-util/script.sh", "--version"], 0x7ffefa3633f0 /* 0 vars */, AT_EMPTY_PATH) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[pid 63039] execve("/home/zbyszek/src/systemd/test/test-path-util/script.sh", ["/home/zbyszek/src/systemd/test/test-path-util/script.sh", "--version"], 0x7ffefa3633f0 /* 0 vars */) = 0
But on older kernels glibc (some versions?) implement a fallback which falls
into the same trap with bash $0:
[pid 13534] execve("/proc/self/fd/3", ["/home/test/systemd/test/test-path-util/script.sh", "--version"], 0x7fff84995870 /* 0 vars */) = 0
We don't want that, so let's call execveat() ourselves. Then we can do the
execve() fallback as we want.
Instead of defining the numbers only as fallback, always define our fallback
number, and if we have the real __NR_foo define, assert that our number matches
the real one.
This will result in warnings when our fallback number is not defined, even if
the kernel headers are new enough to define __NR_foo. This will probably annoy
people compiling for seldom-used architectures, but hopefully it'll provide
motivation to add the missing fallback defines.
The upside is that we have a higher chance of catching the cases where we got
the number wrong. Calling the wrong syscall is quite problematic, and with some
back luck, it might take us a long time to notice that we got the number wrong
on some rarely used architecture.
Also, rework some of the fallback wrappers to not call the syscall with a
negative number (that'd fail, but we'd got to the kernel and back). It seems
nicer to let the compiler know that this can never succeed.
The kernel finally has a proper API to determine the mnt_id of a file.
Let's use it.
This adds support for the STATX_MNT_ID field of statx(), added in
kernel 5.8.
This is not a new system call at all (since kernel 2.2), however it's
not exposed in glibc (a wrapper is exposed however in sigqueue(), but it
substantially simplifies the system call). Since we want a nice fallback
for sending signals on non-pidfd systems for pidfd_send_signal() let's
wrap rt_sigqueueinfo() since it takes the same siginfo_t parameter.
Add a comment line explaining that the syscall defines might be
defined to invalid negative numbers, as libseccomp redefines them
to negative numbers if not defined by the kernel headers, which is
not obvious just from reading the code checking for defined && > 0
The #ifndef check used to work for missing __NR_* syscall defines, but
unfortunately libseccomp now redefines missing syscall number to negative
numbers, in their public header file, e.g.:
https://github.com/seccomp/libseccomp/blob/master/include/seccomp.h.in#L801
When systemd is built, since it includes <seccomp.h>, it pulls in the
incorrect negative value for any __NR_* syscall define that's included in
the seccomp.h header (for those syscalls that the kernel headers don't
yet define, e.g. when built with older/stable-distro kernels). This leads
to bugs like:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1821625
This changes the check so that it can override the negative number that
libseccomp defines, instead of trying to use the negative syscall number.
To avoid gcc warnings (which are failures with meson --werror), this checks
without generating a redefinition gcc warning.
I have no idea why libseccomp decided to define missing syscalls
to negative numbers inside their *public* header file, causing
problems like this.
Make possible to set NUMA allocation policy for manager. Manager's
policy is by default inherited to all forked off processes. However, it
is possible to override the policy on per-service basis. Currently we
support, these policies: default, prefer, bind, interleave, local.
See man 2 set_mempolicy for details on each policy.
Overall NUMA policy actually consists of two parts. Policy itself and
bitmask representing NUMA nodes where is policy effective. Node mask can
be specified using related option, NUMAMask. Default mask can be
overwritten on per-service level.
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.
In meson.build we check that functions are available using:
meson.get_compiler('c').has_function('foo')
which checks the following:
- if __stub_foo or __stub___foo are defined, return false
- if foo is declared (a pointer to the function can be taken), return true
- otherwise check for __builtin_memfd_create
_stub is documented by glibc as
It defines a symbol '__stub_FUNCTION' for each function
in the C library which is a stub, meaning it will fail
every time called, usually setting errno to ENOSYS.
So if __stub is defined, we know we don't want to use the glibc version, but
this doesn't tell us if the name itself is defined or not. If it _is_ defined,
and we define our replacement as an inline static function, we get an error:
In file included from ../src/basic/missing.h:1358:0,
from ../src/basic/util.h:47,
from ../src/basic/calendarspec.h:29,
from ../src/basic/calendarspec.c:34:
../src/basic/missing_syscall.h:65:19: error: static declaration of 'memfd_create' follows non-static declaration

.../usr/include/bits/mman-shared.h:46:5: note: previous declaration of 'memfd_create' was here

To avoid this problem, call our inline functions different than glibc,
and use a #define to map the official name to our replacement.
Fixes#8099.
v2:
- use "missing_" as the prefix instead of "_"
v3:
- rebase and update for statx()
Unfortunately "statx" is also present in "struct statx", so the define
causes issues. Work around this by using a typedef.
I checked that systemd compiles with current glibc
(glibc-devel-2.26-24.fc27.x86_64) if HAVE_MEMFD_CREATE, HAVE_GETTID,
HAVE_PIVOT_ROOT, HAVE_SETNS, HAVE_RENAMEAT2, HAVE_KCMP, HAVE_KEYCTL,
HAVE_COPY_FILE_RANGE, HAVE_BPF, HAVE_STATX are forced to 0.
Setting HAVE_NAME_TO_HANDLE_AT to 0 causes an issue, but it's not because of
the define, but because of struct file_handle.
The Linux kernel exposes the birth time now for files through statx()
hence make use of it where available. We keep the xattr logic in place
for this however, since only a subset of file systems on Linux currently
expose the birth time. NFS and tmpfs for example do not support it. OTOH
there are other file systems that do support the birth time but might
not support xattrs (smb…), hence make the best of the two, in particular
in order to deal with journal files copied between file system types and
to maintain compatibility with older file systems that are updated to
newer version of the file system.
This is a legacy of autotools, where one detection routine used a different
prefix then the others.
