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 macro will read a pointer of any type, return it, and set the
pointer to NULL. This is useful as an explicit concept of passing
ownership of a memory area between pointers.
This takes inspiration from Rust:
https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/option/enum.Option.html#method.take
and was suggested by Alan Jenkins (@sourcejedi).
It drops ~160 lines of code from our codebase, which makes me like it.
Also, I think it clarifies passing of ownership, and thus helps
readability a bit (at least for the initiated who know the new macro)
When running tests like test-unit-name, there is not point in setting
up the cgroup and signals and interacting with the environment. Similarly
when running fuzz testing of the parser.
Add new MANAGER_TEST_RUN_BASIC which takes the role of MANAGER_TEST_RUN_MINIMAL,
and redefine MANAGER_TEST_RUN_MINIMAL to just create the basic data structures.
This is useful so that callers know whether anything at all and how much
was flushed.
This patches through users of this functions to ensure that the return
values > 0 which may be returned now are not propagated in public APIs.
Also, users that ignore the return value are changed to do so explicitly
now.
This reduces the meson man=false target count to 1281.
v2:
- link test-engine with libshared instead of libsystemd_static
Previous version built fine on F27, but fails on F26 with the following error:
/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccr8HRGw.ltrans6.ltrans.o: undefined reference to symbol '__start_BUS_ERROR_MAP@@SD_SHARED'
/home/zbyszek/fedora/systemd/systemd-9d5aae75c64f5583a110f03b94816aacc03bbf4d/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu/src/shared/libsystemd-shared-236.so: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line
v3:
- add libudev_basic
We already use the "_static" suffix for libshared_static ("shared" is the name
of the library, "static" is the format) and other libs, so let's rename for
consistency.
Also change libsystemd_static_sources to libsystemd_sources, since the same
list is used for both and shorter is better.
As it turns out MAX_HANDLE_SZ is a lie, the handle buffer we pass into
name_to_handle_at() might need to be larger than MAX_HANDLE_SZ, and we
thus need to invoke name_to_handle_at() in a loop, growing the buffer as
needed.
This adds a new wrapper name_to_handle_at_loop() around
name_to_handle_at() that does the necessary looping, and ports over all
users.
Fixes: #7082
So far I avoided adding license headers to meson files, but they are pretty
big and important and should carry license headers like everything else.
I added my own copyright, even though other people modified those files too.
But this is mostly symbolic, so I hope that's OK.
In libudev (which es much older code than the rest of systemd), we
propagate errors in functions not returning an int, via (positive) errno
(i.e. libc-style), and as negative Exyz values in those returning an int
(much preferred, i.e. Linux kernel style). Let's fix up a few place,
where this was incorrectly done, or not done at all.
Fixes: #6613
All those uses were correct, but I think it's better to be explicit.
Using implicit errno is too error prone, and with this change we can require
(in the sense of a style guideline) that the code is always specified.
Helpful query: git grep -n -P 'log_[^s][a-z]+\(.*%m'
This function is internal to systemd code, so external users of libudev
will not see those log messages. I think this is better. If we want to
allow that, the function could be put in libudev and exported.
v2: check that the string is more than one char before stripping quotes
The indentation for emacs'es meson-mode is added .dir-locals.
All files are reindented automatically, using the lasest meson-mode from git.
Indentation should now be fairly consistent.
This simplifies things and leads to a smaller installation footprint.
libsystemd_internal and libsystemd_journal_internal are linked into
libystemd-shared and available to all programs linked to libsystemd-shared.
libsystemd_journal_internal is not needed anymore, and libsystemd-shared
is used everwhere. The few exceptions are: libsystemd.so, test-engine,
test-bus-error, and various loadable modules.
With mesonbuid/meson#1545, meson does not propagate deps of a library
when linking with that library. That's of course the right thing to do,
but it exposes a bunch of missing deps.
This compiles with both meson-0.39.1 and meson-git + pr/1545.
This is slightly complicated by the fact that files('libudev.h') cannot be used
as an argument in custom_target command (string is required). This restriction
should be lifted in future versions of mesons, so this could be simplified.
This is pretty ugly, because I don't know how to use a single
definition for two purposes:
- --version-script needs a path relative to the build root
- link_depends needs a path relative to source root
Also, link_depends does not accept files() output
[https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/1172], and I don't see a way to go
from files() output to a string path that can be used to craft the -Wl arg.
Ideally, a single files() result could be used in both places.
I'm leaving this as a separate commit for now.
It's crucial that we can build systemd using VS2010!
... er, wait, no, that's not the official reason. We need to shed old systems
by requring python 3! Oh, no, it's something else. Maybe we need to throw out
345 years of knowlege accumulated in autotools? Whatever, this new thing is
cool and shiny, let's use it.
This is not complete, I'm throwing it out here for your amusement and critique.
- rules for sd-boot are missing. Those might be quite complicated.
- rules for tests are missing too. Those are probably quite simple and
repetitive, but there's lots of them.
- it's likely that I didn't get all the conditions right, I only tested "full"
compilation where most deps are provided and nothing is disabled.
- busname.target and all .busname units are skipped on purpose.
Otherwise, installation into $DESTDIR has the same list of files and the
autoconf install, except for .la files.
It'd be great if people had a careful look at all the library linking options.
I added stuff until things compiled, and in the end there's much less linking
then in the old system. But it seems that there's still a lot of unnecessary
deps.
meson has a `shared_module` statement, which sounds like something appropriate
for our nss and pam modules. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to work. For the
nss modules, we need an .so version of '2', but `shared_module` disallows the
version argument. For the pam module, it also didn't work, I forgot the reason.
The handling of .m4 and .in and .m4.in files is rather awkward. It's likely
that this could be simplified. If make support is ever dropped, I think it'd
make sense to switch to a different templating system so that two different
languages and not required, which would make everything simpler yet.
v2:
- use get_pkgconfig_variable
- use sh not bash
- use add_project_arguments
v3:
- drop required:true and fix progs/prog typo
v4:
- use find_library('bz2')
- add TTY_GID definition
- define __SANE_USERSPACE_TYPES__
- use join_paths(prefix, ...) is used on all paths to make them all absolute
v5:
- replace all declare_dependency's with []
- add more conf.get guards around optional components
v6:
- drop -pipe, -Wall which are the default in meson
- use compiler.has_function() and compiler.has_header_symbol instead of the
hand-rolled checks.
- fix duplication in 'liblibsystemd' library name
- use the right .sym file for pam_systemd
- rename 'compiler' to 'cc': shorter, and more idiomatic.
v7:
- use ENABLE_ENVIRONMENT_D not HAVE_ENVIRONMENT_D
- rename prefix to prefixdir, rootprefix to rootprefixdir
("prefix" is too common of a name and too easy to overwrite by mistake)
- wrap more stuff with conf.get('ENABLE...') == 1
- use rootprefix=='/' and rootbindir as install_dir, to fix paths under
split-usr==true.
v8:
- use .split() also for src/coredump. Now everything is consistent ;)
- add rootlibdir option and use it on the libraries that require it
v9:
- indentation
v10:
- fix check for qrencode and libaudit
v11:
- unify handling of executable paths, provide options for all progs
This makes the meson build behave slightly differently than the
autoconf-based one, because we always first try to find the executable in the
filesystem, and fall back to the default. I think different handling of
loadkeys, setfont, and telinit was just a historical accident.
In addition to checking in $PATH, also check /usr/sbin/, /sbin for programs.
In Fedora $PATH includes /usr/sbin, (and /sbin is is a symlink to /usr/sbin),
but in Debian, those directories are not included in the path.
C.f. https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/1576.
- call all the options 'xxx-path' for clarity.
- sort man/rules/meson.build properly so it's stable
We defined both $(VERSION) and $(PACKAGE_VERSION) with the same contents.
$(PACKAGE_VERSION) is slightly more descriptive, so settle on that, and
drop the other define.
As per commit 25e773e "udev: switch to systemd logging functions"
Now log_set_max_level() in udev_new() overwites system wide log level.
Propagate the udev.conf setting to log_set_max_level()
only if udev_new() is called from within udevd or one of its helpers.
Introduce a UDEV_PROPAGATE_LOG macro that we set with -D on
the gcc command line for all udev binaries we build, but not
for any others. The log_set_max_level() call is guarded by an
ifdef check for that macro, so that it only effects the various
udev binaries.
closes: #4525
Instead of using a temp buffer to replace whitespace in variable
substitutions, just allow util_replace_whitespace to replace in-place.
Add a comment to util_replace_whitespace indicating it is used to replace
in-place, to prevent accidental future breakage.
Instead of returning 0, which is unhelpful, return the number of chars
copied into the dest string. This allows callers that care about that
to easily use it, instead of having to calculate the strlen.
No current users of the function check the return value, so this does not
break any existing code; it is used in the following patch.
It is possible to specify only one quote in udev rules, which is not
detected as an invalid quoting (" instead of "" for empty string).
Technically this doesn't lead to a bug, because the string ends in two
terminating nul characters at this position, but a user should still be
reminded that his configuration is invalid.
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.
