These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary.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.
This is similar to TAKE_PTR() but operates on file descriptors, and thus
assigns -1 to the fd parameter after returning it.
Removes 60 lines from our codebase. Pretty good too I think.
This adds IOVEC_INIT() and IOVEC_MAKE() for initializing iovec structures
from a pointer and a size. On top of these IOVEC_INIT_STRING() and
IOVEC_MAKE_STRING() are added which take a string and automatically
determine the size of the string using strlen().
This patch removes the old IOVEC_SET_STRING() macro, given that
IOVEC_MAKE_STRING() is now useful for similar purposes. Note that the
old IOVEC_SET_STRING() invocations were two characters shorter than the
new ones using IOVEC_MAKE_STRING(), but I think the new syntax is more
readable and more generic as it simply resolves to a C99 literal
structure initialization. Moreover, we can use very similar syntax now
for initializing strings and pointer+size iovec entries. We canalso use
the new macros to initialize function parameters on-the-fly or array
definitions. And given that we shouldn't have so many ways to do the
same stuff, let's just settle on the new macros.
(This also converts some code to use _cleanup_ where dynamically
allocated strings were using IOVEC_SET_STRING() before, to modernize
things a bit)
When converting log messages from human readable text into binary records to
send off to journald in sd_journal_print(), strip trailing whitespace in the
log message. This way, handling of logs made via syslog(), stdout/stderr and
sd_journal_print() are treated the same way: trailing (but not leading)
whitespace is automatically removed, in particular \n and \r. Note that in case
of syslog() and stdout/stderr based logging the stripping takes place
server-side though, while for the native protocol based transport this takes
place client-side. This is because in the former cases conversion from
free-form human-readable strings into structured, binary log records takes
place on the server-side while for journal-native logging it happens on the
client side, and after conversion into binary records we probably shouldn't
alter the data anymore.
See: #3416
The macro determines the right length of a AF_UNIX "struct sockaddr_un" to pass to
connect() or bind(). It automatically figures out if the socket refers to an
abstract namespace socket, or a socket in the file system, and properly handles
the full length of the path field.
This macro is not only safer, but also simpler to use, than the usual
offsetof() + strlen() logic.
This moves the O_TMPFILE handling from the coredumping code into common library
code, and generalizes it as open_tmpfile_linkable() + link_tmpfile(). The
existing open_tmpfile() function (which creates an unlinked temporary file that
cannot be linked into the fs) is renamed to open_tmpfile_unlinkable(), to make
the distinction clear. Thus, code may now choose between:
a) open_tmpfile_linkable() + link_tmpfile()
b) open_tmpfile_unlinkable()
Depending on whether they want a file that may be linked back into the fs later
on or not.
In a later commit we should probably convert fopen_temporary() to make use of
open_tmpfile_linkable().
Followup for: #3065
Whenever we include a log level or facility in a journal string field, make sure the compiler checks for us that that's
actually the right thing to do.

tree-wide: port more code to use send_one_fd() and receive_one_fd()
because here our fd is not connected and we need to specify
the address.
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.
Also, make it slightly more powerful, by accepting a flags argument, and
make it safe for handling if more than one cmsg attribute happens to be
attached.
If we scale our buffer to be wide enough for the format string, we
should expect that the calculation was correct.
char_array_0() invocations are removed, since snprintf nul-terminates
the output in any case.
A similar wrapper is used for strftime calls, but only in timedatectl.c.
loop_write() didn't follow the usual systemd rules and returned status
partially in errno and required extensive checks from callers. Some of
the callers dealt with this properly, but many did not, treating
partial writes as successful. Simplify things by conforming to usual rules.
Previously when a log message grew beyond the maximum AF_UNIX/SOCK_DGRAM
datagram limit we'd send an fd to a deleted file in /dev/shm instead.
Because the sender could still modify the file after delivery we had to
immediately copy the data on the receiving side.
With memfds we can optimize this logic, and also remove the dependency
on /dev/shm: simply send a sealed memfd around, and if we detect the
seal memory map the fd and use it directly.
safe_close() automatically becomes a NOP when a negative fd is passed,
and returns -1 unconditionally. This makes it easy to write lines like
this:
fd = safe_close(fd);
Which will close an fd if it is open, and reset the fd variable
correctly.
By making use of this new scheme we can drop a > 200 lines of code that
was required to test for non-negative fds or to reset the closed fd
variable afterwards.
Current glibc implementation is safe. Kernel does this atomically,
and write is actually implemented through writev. So if write is
async-signal-safe, than writev pretty much must be too.
signal(7) provides a list of functions which may be called from a
signal handler. Other functions, which only call those functions and
don't access global memory and are reentrant are also safe.
sd_j_sendv was mostly OK, but would call mkostemp and writev in a
fallback path, which are unsafe.
Being able to call sd_j_sendv in a async-signal-safe way is important
because it allows it be used in signal handlers.
Safety is achieved by replacing mkostemp with open(O_TMPFILE) and an
open-coded writev replacement which uses write. Unfortunately,
O_TMPFILE is only available on kernels >= 3.11. When O_TMPFILE is
unavailable, an open-coded mkostemp is used.

"syslog(3) and sd_journal_print() may largely be used interchangeably
functionality-wise" according to sd_journal_print(3). This socket
should be always available except in rare circumstatances, and we
don't random applications to fail on logging, so let's do what syslog
did. The alternative of forcing all callers to do error handling for
this rare case doesn't really have any benefits, since if they can't
log there isn't much they can do anyway.

I'm assuming that it's fine if a _const_ or _pure_ function
calls assert. It is assumed that the assert won't trigger,
and even if it does, it can only trigger on the first call
with a given set of parameters, and we don't care if the
compiler moves the order of calls.
