Let's clean up hostname_is_valid() a bit: let's turn the second boolean
argument into a more explanatory flags field, and add a flag that
accepts the special name ".host" as valid. This is useful for the
container logic, where the special hostname ".host" refers to the "root
container", i.e. the host system itself, and can be specified at various
places.
let's also get rid of machine_name_is_valid(). It was just an alias,
which is confusing and even more so now that we have the flags param.
Let's make sure the first hashmap we destroy also frees all machines,
because otherwise when freeing the other hashmaps we'll try to
deregister the contained machines from the hashmaps already destroyed.
This way, we can extend the macro a bit with stuff pulled in from other
headers without this affecting everything which pulls in macro.h, which
is one of our most basic headers.
This is just refactoring, no change in behaviour, in prepartion for
later changes.
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary.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.
A couple of minor modernizations:
1. Don't unnecessarily export functions we don't call outside of
machined.c
2. Use cleanup logic for the manager object.
3. Propagate errors properly from manager_new(). So far if
sd_event_new() returns EMFILE/ENFILE for some reason we would have
logged that as log_oom(), which isn#t right, really.
4. Handle SIGTERM/SIGINT cleanly. It's easy, and prettier then letting
the kernel just abort us. It also makes it possible to valgrind
machined properly.
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.
Let's remove a number of synchronization points from our service
startups: let's drop synchronous match installation, and let's opt for
asynchronous instead.
Also, let's use sd_bus_match_signal() instead of sd_bus_add_match()
where we can.
This moves pretty much all uses of getpid() over to getpid_raw(). I
didn't specifically check whether the optimization is worth it for each
replacement, but in order to keep things simple and systematic I
switched over everything at once.
We don't have plural in the name of any other -util files and this
inconsistency trips me up every time I try to type this file name
from memory. "formats-util" is even hard to pronounce.
Cloning an image can be slow, if the image is not on a btrfs subvolume, hence
let's make sure we do this asynchronously in a child process, so that machined
isn't blocked as long as we process the client request.
This adds a new, generic "Operation" object to machined, that is used to track
these kind of background processes.
This is inspired by the MachineOperation object that already exists to make
copy operations asynchronous. A later patch will rework the MachineOperation
logic to use the generic Operation instead.
GLIB has recently started to officially support the gcc cleanup
attribute in its public API, hence let's do the same for our APIs.
With this patch we'll define an xyz_unrefp() call for each public
xyz_unref() call, to make it easy to use inside a
__attribute__((cleanup())) expression. Then, all code is ported over to
make use of this.
The new calls are also documented in the man pages, with examples how to
use them (well, I only added docs where the _unref() call itself already
had docs, and the examples, only cover sd_bus_unrefp() and
sd_event_unrefp()).
This also renames sd_lldp_free() to sd_lldp_unref(), since that's how we
tend to call our destructors these days.
Note that this defines no public macro that wraps gcc's attribute and
makes it easier to use. While I think it's our duty in the library to
make our stuff easy to use, I figure it's not our duty to make gcc's own
features easy to use on its own. Most likely, client code which wants to
make use of this should define its own:
#define _cleanup_(function) __attribute__((cleanup(function)))
Or similar, to make the gcc feature easier to use.
Making this logic public has the benefit that we can remove three header
files whose only purpose was to define these functions internally.
See #2008.
Some of the operations machined/machinectl implement are also very
useful when applied to the host system (such as machinectl login,
machinectl shell or machinectl status), hence introduce a pseudo-machine
by the name of ".host" in machined that refers to the host system, and
may be used top execute operations on the host system with.
This copies the pseudo-image ".host" machined already implements for
image related commands.
(This commit also adds a PK privilege for opening a PTY in a container,
which was previously not accessible for non-root.)
When enumerating machines from /run, and when accepting machine names
for operations, be more strict and always validate.
Note that these checks are strictly speaking unnecessary, since
enumeration happens only on the trusted /run...
As it turns out machine_name_is_valid() does the exact same thing as
hostname_is_valid() these days, as it just invoked that and checked the
name length was < 64. However, hostname_is_valid() checks the length
against HOST_NAME_MAX anyway (which is 64 on Linux), hence any
additional check is redundant.
We hence replace machine_name_is_valid() by a macro that simply maps it
to hostname_is_valid() but sets the allow_trailing_dot parameter to
false. We also move this this call to hostname-util.h, to the same place
as the hostname_is_valid() declaration.
The following functions return immediately if a null pointer was passed.
* calendar_spec_free
* link_address_free
* manager_free
* sd_bus_unref
* sd_journal_close
* udev_monitor_unref
* udev_unref
It is therefore not needed that a function caller repeats a corresponding check.
This issue was fixed by using the software Coccinelle 1.0.1.
This splits up the stopping logic for machines into two steps: first on
machine_stop() we begin with the shutdown of a machine by queuing the
stop method call for it. Then, in machine_finalize() we actually remove
the rest of its runtime context. This mimics closely how sessions are
handled in logind.
This also reworks the GC logic to strictly check the current state of
the machine unit, rather than shortcutting a few cases, like for example
assuming that UnitRemoved really means a machine is gone (which it isn't
since Reloading might trigger it, see #376).
Fixes#376.
