This gets rid of most but not occasions of these loaded terms:
1. scsi_id and friends are something that is supposed to be removed from
our tree (see #7594)
2. The test suite defines an API used by the ubuntu CI. We can remove
this too later, but this needs to be done in sync with the ubuntu CI.
3. In some cases the terms are part of APIs we call or where we expose
concepts the kernel names the way it names them. (In particular all
remaining uses of the word "slave" in our codebase are like this,
it's used by the POSIX PTY layer, by the network subsystem, the mount
API and the block device subsystem). Getting rid of the term in these
contexts would mean doing some major fixes of the kernel ABI first.
Regarding the replacements: when whitelist/blacklist is used as noun we
replace with with allow list/deny list, and when used as verb with
allow-list/deny-list.
Presently, CLI utilities such as systemctl will check whether they have a tty
attached or not to decide whether to parse /proc/cmdline or EFI variable
SystemdOptions looking for systemd.log_* entries.
But this check will be misleading if these tools are being launched by a
daemon, such as a monitoring daemon or automation service that runs in
background.
Make log handling of CLI tools uniform by never checking /proc/cmdline or EFI
variables to determine the logging level.
Furthermore, introduce a new log_setup_cli() shortcut to set up common options
used by most command-line utilities.
Also use double space before the tracking args at the end. Without
the comma this looks ugly, but it's a bit better with the double space.
At least it doesn't look like a variable with a type.
This combines set_ensure_allocated() with set_consume(). The cool thing is that
because we know the hash ops, we can correctly free the item if appropriate.
Similarly to set_consume(), the goal is to simplify handling of the case where
the item needs to be freed on error and if already present in the set.
* Drop mac_selinux_use() condition from mac_selinux_free(): if the
passed pointer holds memory we want to free it even if SELinux is
disabled
* Drop NULL-check cause man:freecon(3) states that freecon(NULL) is a
well-defined NOP
* Assert that on non-SELinux builds the passed pointer is always NULL,
to avoid memory leaks
This just adds a _cleanup_ helper call encapsulating dlclose().
This also means libsystemd-shared is linked against libdl now. I don't
think this is much of an issue, since libdl is part of glibc anyway, and
anything from exotic. It's not an optional part of the OS (think: NSS
requires dynamic linking), hence this pulls in no deps and is almost
certainly loaded into all process' memory anyway.
[zj: use DEFINE_TRIVIAL_CLEANUP_FUNC().]
It's such a common operation to allocate the set and put an item in it,
that it deserves a helper. set_ensure_put() has the same return values
as set_put().
Comes with tests!
../src/core/main.c: In function 'main':

systemd_efi_options_variable
The original logic was logging an "ignored" debug message, but it was still
going ahead and calling proc_cmdline_parse_given() on the NULL line. Fix that
to skip that explicitly when the EFI variable wasn't really read.
Cache it early in startup of the system manager, right after `/run/systemd` is
created, so that further access to it can be done without accessing the EFI
filesystem at all.
Prompted by the discussion on #16110, let's migrate more code to
fd_wait_for_event().
This only leaves 7 places where we call into poll()/poll() directly in
our entire codebase. (one of which is fd_wait_for_event() itself)
"less" doesn't properly reset its terminal on SIGTERM, it does so only
on SIGINT. Let's thus configure SIGINT instead of SIGTERM.
I think this is something less should fix too, and clean up things
correctly on SIGTERM, too. However, given that we explicitly enable
SIGINT behaviour by passing "K" to $LESS I figure it makes sense if we
also send SIGINT instead of SIGTERM to match it.
Fixes: #16084
poll() sets POLLNVAL inside of the poll structures if an invalid fd is
passed. So far we generally didn't check for that, thus not taking
notice of the error. Given that this specific kind of error is generally
indication of a programming error, and given that our code is embedded
into our projects via NSS or because people link against our library,
let's explicitly check for this and convert it to EBADF.
(I ran into a busy loop because of this missing check when some of my
test code accidentally closed an fd it shouldn't close, so this is a
real thing)
The usual behaviour when a timeout expires is to terminate/kill the
service. This is what user usually want in production systems. To debug
services that fail to start/stop (especially sporadic failures) it
might be necessary to trigger the watchdog machinery and write core
dumps, though. Likewise, it is usually just a waste of time to
gracefully stop a stuck service. Instead it might save time to go
directly into kill mode.
This commit adds two new options to services: TimeoutStartFailureMode=
and TimeoutStopFailureMode=. Both take the same values and tweak the
behavior of systemd when a start/stop timeout expires:
* 'terminate': is the default behaviour as it has always been,
* 'abort': triggers the watchdog machinery and will send SIGABRT
(unless WatchdogSignal was changed) and
* 'kill' will directly send SIGKILL.
To handle the stop failure mode in stop-post state too a new
final-watchdog state needs to be introduced.
Let's allow "-0" as alternative to "+0" and "0" when parsing integers,
unless the new SAFE_ATO_REFUSE_PLUS_MINUS flag is specified.
In cases where allowing the +/- syntax shall not be allowed
SAFE_ATO_REFUSE_PLUS_MINUS is the right flag to use, but this also means
that -0 as only negative integer that fits into an unsigned value should
be acceptable if the flag is not specified.

We would parse numbers with base prefixes as user identifiers. For example,
"0x2b3bfa0" would be interpreted as UID==45334432 and "01750" would be
interpreted as UID==1000. This parsing was used also in cases where either a
user/group name or number may be specified. This means that names like
0x2b3bfa0 would be ambiguous: they are a valid user name according to our
documented relaxed rules, but they would also be parsed as numeric uids.
This behaviour is definitely not expected by users, since tools generally only
accept decimal numbers (e.g. id, getent passwd), while other tools only accept
user names and thus will interpret such strings as user names without even
attempting to convert them to numbers (su, ssh). So let's follow suit and only
accept numbers in decimal notation. Effectively this means that we will reject
such strings as a username/uid/groupname/gid where strict mode is used, and try
to look up a user/group with such a name in relaxed mode.
Since the function changed is fairly low-level and fairly widely used, this
affects multiple tools: loginctl show-user/enable-linger/disable-linger foo',
the third argument in sysusers.d, fourth and fifth arguments in tmpfiles.d,
etc.
Fixes#15985.
"internal" is a lot of characters. Let's take a leaf out of the Python's book
and simply use _ to mean private. Much less verbose, but the meaning is just as
clear, or even more.
