I find this version much more readable.
Add replacement defines so that when acl/libacl.h is not available, the
ACL_{READ,WRITE,EXECUTE} constants are also defined. Those constants were
declared in the kernel headers already in 1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1f,
so they should be the same pretty much everywhere.
This comes up occasionally with new users. The phrase "Logs begin ..." is
ambiguous because it can be taken to mean the logs being displayed or all logs
(the intended meaning). Let's rephrase this as "Journal begins ..." to make
this clearer.
We talked about the verification key, then about sealing keys, and then
about the verification key again. Let's shorten things a bit, and divide
the output in three paragraphs: one about the machine, one about the sealing
keys, and one about verification keys and the qr code with them.
decompress_blob_zstd() would allocate ever bigger buffers in a loop trying to
get a buffer big enough to decompress the input data. This is wasteful, since
we can just query the size of the decompressed data from the compressed header.
Worse, it doesn't work when the output size is capped, i.e. when dst_max != 0.
If the decompressed blob happened to be bigger than dst_max, decompression
would fail with -ENOBUFS. We need to use "stream decompression" instead, and
only get min(uncompressed size, dst_max) bytes of output.
Fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1856037 in a second way.
SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_DATA() and SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_UNIQUE() would immediately
terminate when a field couldn't be accessed. This can happen for example when a
field is compressed with an unavailable compression format. But it's likely
that this is the wrong thing to do: the caller for example might want to
iterate over the fields but isn't interested in all of them. coredumpctl is
like this: it uses SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_DATA() but only uses a subset of the
fields.
Add two new functions sd_journal_enumerate_good_data() and
sd_journal_enumerate_good_unique() that retry sd_journal_enumerate_data() and
sd_journal_enumerate_unique() if the return value is something that applies to
a single field: ENOBUS, E2BIG, EOPNOTSUPP.

An alternative would be to make the macros themselves smarter instead of adding
new symbols, and do the looping internally in the macro. I don't like that
approach for two reasons. First, it would embed the logic in the macro, so
recompilation would be required if we decide to update the logic. With the
current version of the patch, recompilation is required to use the new symbols,
but after that, library upgrades are enough. So the current approach is safer
in case further updates are needed. Second, our headers use primitive C, and it
is hard to do the macros without using newer features.
Even with the new keyed hash table journal feature: if an attacker
manages to get access to the journal file id it could synthesize records
that result in hash collisions. Let's rotate automatically when we
notice that, so that a new journal file ID is generated, our performance
is restored and the attacker has to guess a new file ID before being
able to trigger the issue again.
That said, untrusted peers should never get access to journal files in
the first case...
This adds a new (incompatible) feature to journal files: if enabled the
hash function used for the hash tables is no longer jenkins hash with a
zero key, but siphash keyed by the file uuid that is included in the
file header anyway. This should make our hash tables more robust against
collision attacks, as long as the attacker has no read access to the
journal files. We switch from jenkins to siphash simply because it's
more well-known and we standardize for the rest of our codebase onto it.
This is hardening in order to make collision attacks harder for clients
that can forge log messages but have no read access to the logs. It has
no effect on clients that have read access.
Let's prefix this with "jenkins_" since it wraps the jenkins hash. We
want to add support for other hash functions to journald soon, hence
better be clear with what this is. In particular as all other symbols
defined by lookup3.h actually are prefixed "jenkins_".
Let's clean this up a bit, following our usual nomenclature to name
return parameters ret-xyz.
This is mostly a bit of renaming, but there's also some minor other
changes: if we return a pointer to a mmap'ed object plus its offset, in
almost all cases we are happy if either parameter is NULL in case the
caller is not interested in it. Let's fix the remaining case to do this
too, to minimize surprises.
The object flags field is a bitmask, hence don't sloppily define
_OBJECT_COMPRESSED_MAX as one mor than the previous flag. That worked OK
as long as we only had two flags, but will fall apart as soon as we have
three. Let's fix this.
(It's kinda sloppy how the string table is built here, as it will be
quite sparse as soon as we have more enum entries, but let's keep it for
now.)
This way journalctl can make use of libqrencode if it's there, but will
quietly not use it if it isn't.
This means libqrencode remains a build-time dep, but not a strict
runtime dependency.
I figure we should do something similar for a bunch of other "leaf"
libraries we only use few symbols of. Specifically the following are
probably good candidates:
* pcre2
* libpwquality
* p11kit
* elfutils
and possibly:
* libcryptsetup (only in some parts. i.e. building systemd-cryptsetup
without it makes no sense. However building the dissect option with
libcryptsetup as optional dep does make sense)
* possibly the compression libraries (at least the ones we never use for
compression, but only as alternative ones for decompression)
Already covered like this is:
* libxkcommon
