Actually, it is the same kind of problem as in d910f4c . Basically, we
need to return 1 on success code path in slice_freezer_action().
Otherwise we dispatch DBus return message too soon.
Fixes: #16050
In all the other cases, I think the code was clearer with the static table.
Here, not so much. And because of the existing dump code, the vtables cannot
be made static and need to remain exported. I still think it's worth to do the
change to have the cmdline introspection, but I'm disappointed with how this
came out.
With cgroup v2 the cgroup freezer is implemented as a cgroup
attribute called cgroup.freeze. cgroup can be frozen by writing "1"
to the file and kernel will send us a notification through
"cgroup.events" after the operation is finished and processes in the
cgroup entered quiescent state, i.e. they are not scheduled to
run. Writing "0" to the attribute file does the inverse and process
execution is resumed.
This commit exposes above low-level functionality through systemd's DBus
API. Each unit type must provide specialized implementation for these
methods, otherwise, we return an error. So far only service, scope, and
slice unit types provide the support. It is possible to check if a
given unit has the support using CanFreeze() DBus property.
Note that DBus API has a synchronous behavior and we dispatch the reply
to freeze/thaw requests only after the kernel has notified us that
requested operation was completed.
No functional change, just adjusting code to follow the same pattern
everywhere. In particular, never call _verify() on an already loaded unit,
but return early from the caller instead. This makes the code a bit easier
to follow.
unit_load_fragment_and_dropin() and unit_load_fragment_and_dropin_optional()
are really the same, with one minor difference in behaviour. Let's drop
the second function.
"_optional" in the name suggests that it's the "dropin" part that is optional.
(Which it is, but in this case, we mean the fragment to be optional.)
I think the new version with a flag is easier to understand.
This is the most basic consumer of the new systemd-vs-kernel checker,
both acting as a reasonable standalone exerciser of the code, and also
as a way for easy inspection of deviations from systemd internal state.
It's a simple wrapper for resetting both IP and CPU accounting in one
go.
This will become particularly useful when we also needs this to reset IO
accounting (to be added in a later commit).
This allows clients to follow our internal state changes safely.
Previously, quick state changes (for example, when we restart a unit due
to Restart= after it quickly transitioned through DEAD/FAILED states)
would be coalesced into one bus signal event, with this change there's
the guarantee that all state changes after the unit was announced ones
are reflected on th bus.
Note we only do this kind of guaranteed flushing only for unit state
changes, not for other unit property changes, where clients still have
to expect coalescing. This is because the unit state is a very
important, high-level concept.
Fixes: #10185
Let's emphasize that this function checks for the host root cgroup, i.e.
returns false for the root cgroup when we run in a container where
CLONE_NEWCGROUP is used. There has been some confusion around this
already, for example cgroup_context_apply() uses the function
incorrectly (which we'll fix in a later commit).
Just some refactoring, not change in behaviour.
Let's be more careful with what we serialize: let's ensure we never
serialize strings that are longer than LONG_LINE_MAX, so that we know we
can read them back with read_line(…, LONG_LINE_MAX, …) safely.
In order to implement this all serialization functions are move to
serialize.[ch], and internally will do line size checks. We'd rather
skip a serialization line (with a loud warning) than write an overly
long line out. Of course, this is just a second level protection, after
all the data we serialize shouldn't be this long in the first place.
While we are at it also clean up logging: while serializing make sure to
always log about errors immediately. Also, (void)ify all calls we don't
expect errors in (or catch errors as part of the general
fflush_and_check() at the end.
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.
Previously the enumerate() callback defined for each unit type would do
two things:
1. It would create perpetual units (i.e. -.slice, system.slice, -.mount and
init.scope)
2. It would enumerate units from /proc/self/mountinfo, /proc/swaps and
the udev database
With this change these two parts are split into two seperate methods:
enumerate() now only does #2, while enumerate_perpetual() is responsible
for #1. Why make this change? Well, perpetual units should have a
slightly different effect that those found through enumeration: as
perpetual units should be up unconditionally, perpetually and thus never
change state, they should also not pull in deps by their state changing,
not even when the state is first set to active. Thus, their state is
generally initialized through the per-device coldplug() method in
similar fashion to the deserialized state from a previous run would be
put into place. OTOH units found through regular enumeration should
result in state changes (and thus pull in deps due to state changes),
hence their state should be put in effect in the catchup() method
instead. Hence, given this difference, let's also separate the
functions, so that the rule is:
1. What is created in enumerate_perpetual() should be started in
coldplug()
2. What is created in enumerate() should be started in catchup().
This adds a flags parameter to unit_notify() which can be used to pass
additional notification information to the function. We the make the old
reload_failure boolean parameter one of these flags, and then add a new
flag that let's unit_notify() if we are configured to restart the
service.
Note that this adjusts behaviour of systemd to match what the docs say.
Fixes: #8398
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.
No functional change.
The source unit manages the reference. It allocates the UnitRef structure and
registers it in the target unit, and then the reference must be destroyed
before the source unit is destroyed. Thus, is should be OK to include the
pointer to the source unit, it should be live as long as the reference exists.
v2:
- rename refs to refs_by_target
The kernel exposes the necessary data in /proc anyway, let's expose it
hence by default.
With this in place "systemctl status -- -.slice" will show accounting
data out-of-the-box now.
`-.mount` is placed in `system.slice`, and hence depends on it.
`-.mount` is always active and can never be stopped. Therefore the same
should be true of `system.slice`.
Synthesize it as perpetual (unless systemd is running as a user manager).
Notice we also drop `Before=slices.target` as unnecessary.
AFAICS the justification for `perpetual` is to provide extra protection
against unintentionally stopping every single service. So adding
system.slice to the perpetual units is perfectly consistent.
I don't expect this will (or can) fix any other problem. And the
`perpetual` protection probably isn't formal enough to spend much time
thinking about. I've just noticed this a couple of times, as something
that looks strange.
Might be a bit surprising that we have user.slice on-disk but not
system.slice, but I think it's ok. `systemctl status system.slice` will
still point you towards `man systemd.special`. The only detail is that the
system slice disables `DefaultDependencies`. If you're worrying about how
system shutdown works when you read `man systemd.slice`, I think it is not
too hard to guess that system.slice might do this:
> Only slice units involved with early boot
> or late system shutdown should disable this option
(Docs are great. I really appreciate the systemd ones).
`IgnoreOnIsolate=yes` is the default for slices and scopes. So it's not
essential to set it on root.slice or init.scope.
We don't need to worry about a bad unit file configuration. Any attempt
to stop these unit should fail, since we mark them as `perpetual`.
Also since init.scope cannot be stopped, there is no point setting
`KillSignal=SIGRTMIN+14`. According to both documentation and testing,
KillSignal= does not affect the behaviour of `systemctl kill`.
This replaces the dependencies Set* objects by Hashmap* objects, where
the key is the depending Unit, and the value is a bitmask encoding why
the specific dependency was created.
The bitmask contains a number of different, defined bits, that indicate
why dependencies exist, for example whether they are created due to
explicitly configured deps in files, by udev rules or implicitly.
Note that memory usage is not increased by this change, even though we
store more information, as we manage to encode the bit mask inside the
value pointer each Hashmap entry contains.
Why this all? When we know how a dependency came to be, we can update
dependencies correctly when a configuration source changes but others
are left unaltered. Specifically:
1. We can fix UDEV_WANTS dependency generation: so far we kept adding
dependencies configured that way, but if a device lost such a
dependency we couldn't them again as there was no scheme for removing
of dependencies in place.
2. We can implement "pin-pointed" reload of unit files. If we know what
dependencies were created as result of configuration in a unit file,
then we know what to flush out when we want to reload it.
3. It's useful for debugging: "systemd-analyze dump" now shows
this information, helping substantially with understanding how
systemd's dependency tree came to be the way it came to be.
So far "no_gc" was set on -.slice and init.scope, to units that are always
running, cannot be stopped and never exist in an "inactive" state. Since these
units are the only users of this flag, let's remodel it and rename it
"perpetual" and let's derive more funcitonality off it. Specifically, refuse
enqueing stop jobs for these units, and report that they are "unstoppable" in
the CanStop bus property.
Previously, we'd synthesize the root slice unit and the init scope unit in the
enumerator callbacks for the unit type. This is problematic if either of them
is already referenced from a unit that is loaded as result of another unit
type's enumerator logic.
Let's clean this up and simply create the two objects from the enumerator
callbacks, if they are not around yet. Do the actual filling in of the settings
from the unit_load() callbacks, to match how other units are loaded.
Fixes: #4322
This adds a new invocation ID concept to the service manager. The invocation ID
identifies each runtime cycle of a unit uniquely. A new randomized 128bit ID is
generated each time a unit moves from and inactive to an activating or active
state.
The primary usecase for this concept is to connect the runtime data PID 1
maintains about a service with the offline data the journal stores about it.
Previously we'd use the unit name plus start/stop times, which however is
highly racy since the journal will generally process log data after the service
already ended.
The "invocation ID" kinda matches the "boot ID" concept of the Linux kernel,
except that it applies to an individual unit instead of the whole system.
The invocation ID is passed to the activated processes as environment variable.
It is additionally stored as extended attribute on the cgroup of the unit. The
latter is used by journald to automatically retrieve it for each log logged
message and attach it to the log entry. The environment variable is very easily
accessible, even for unprivileged services. OTOH the extended attribute is only
accessible to privileged processes (this is because cgroupfs only supports the
"trusted." xattr namespace, not "user."). The environment variable may be
altered by services, the extended attribute may not be, hence is the better
choice for the journal.
Note that reading the invocation ID off the extended attribute from journald is
racy, similar to the way reading the unit name for a logging process is.
This patch adds APIs to read the invocation ID to sd-id128:
sd_id128_get_invocation() may be used in a similar fashion to
sd_id128_get_boot().
PID1's own logging is updated to always include the invocation ID when it logs
information about a unit.
A new bus call GetUnitByInvocationID() is added that allows retrieving a bus
path to a unit by its invocation ID. The bus path is built using the invocation
ID, thus providing a path for referring to a unit that is valid only for the
current runtime cycleof it.
Outlook for the future: should the kernel eventually allow passing of cgroup
information along AF_UNIX/SOCK_DGRAM messages via a unique cgroup id, then we
can alter the invocation ID to be generated as hash from that rather than
entirely randomly. This way we can derive the invocation race-freely from the
messages.
With this change the logic for placing transient unit files and drop-ins
generated via "systemctl set-property" is reworked.
The latter are now placed in the newly introduced "control" unit file
directory. The fomer are now placed in the "transient" unit file directory.
Note that the properties originally set when a transient unit was created will
be written to and stay in the transient unit file directory, while later
changes are done via drop-ins.
This is preparation for a later "systemctl revert" addition, where existing
drop-ins are flushed out, but the original transient definition is restored.
It's nicer to hide the check away in the various
xyz_add_default_dependencies() calls, rather than making it explicit in
the caller, and thus require deeper nesing.
We cannot handle enumeration failures in a sensible way, hence let's try
hard to continue without making such failures fatal, and log about it
with precise error messages.
There are more than enough calls doing string manipulations to deserve
its own files, hence do something about it.
This patch also sorts the #include blocks of all files that needed to be
updated, according to the sorting suggestions from CODING_STYLE. Since
pretty much every file needs our string manipulation functions this
effectively means that most files have sorted #include blocks now.
Also touches a few unrelated include files.
Otherwise, we might end up trying to isolate it away when starting user
instances.
While we are at it, also prohibit manual start/stop of these two units.
Fixes: #1507
This patch set adds full support the new unified cgroup hierarchy logic
of modern kernels.
A new kernel command line option "systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=1" is
added. If specified the unified hierarchy is mounted to /sys/fs/cgroup
instead of a tmpfs. No further hierarchies are mounted. The kernel
command line option defaults to off. We can turn it on by default as
soon as the kernel's APIs regarding this are stabilized (but even then
downstream distros might want to turn this off, as this will break any
tools that access cgroupfs directly).
It is possibly to choose for each boot individually whether the unified
or the legacy hierarchy is used. nspawn will by default provide the
legacy hierarchy to containers if the host is using it, and the unified
otherwise. However it is possible to run containers with the unified
hierarchy on a legacy host and vice versa, by setting the
$UNIFIED_CGROUP_HIERARCHY environment variable for nspawn to 1 or 0,
respectively.
The unified hierarchy provides reliable cgroup empty notifications for
the first time, via inotify. To make use of this we maintain one
manager-wide inotify fd, and each cgroup to it.
This patch also removes cg_delete() which is unused now.
On kernel 4.2 only the "memory" controller is compatible with the
unified hierarchy, hence that's the only controller systemd exposes when
booted in unified heirarchy mode.
This introduces a new enum for enumerating supported controllers, plus a
related enum for the mask bits mapping to it. The core is changed to
make use of this everywhere.
This moves PID 1 into a new "init.scope" implicit scope unit in the root
slice. This is necessary since on the unified hierarchy cgroups may
either contain subgroups or processes but not both. PID 1 hence has to
move out of the root cgroup (strictly speaking the root cgroup is the
only one where processes and subgroups are still allowed, but in order
to support containers nicey, we move PID 1 into the new scope in all
cases.) This new unit is also used on legacy hierarchy setups. It's
actually pretty useful on all systems, as it can then be used to filter
journal messages coming from PID 1, and so on.
The root slice ("-.slice") is now implicitly created and started (and
does not require a unit file on disk anymore), since
that's where "init.scope" is located and the slice needs to be started
before the scope can.
To check whether we are in unified or legacy hierarchy mode we use
statfs() on /sys/fs/cgroup. If the .f_type field reports tmpfs we are in
legacy mode, if it reports cgroupfs we are in unified mode.
This patch set carefuly makes sure that cgls and cgtop continue to work
as desired.
When invoking nspawn as a service it will implicitly create two
subcgroups in the cgroup it is using, one to move the nspawn process
into, the other to move the actual container processes into. This is
done because of the requirement that cgroups may either contain
processes or other subgroups.
