The set of storage space values we cache are calculated according to a couple
of filesystem statistics (free blocks, block size).
This patch caches the vfs stats we're interested in so these values are
available later and coherent with the rest of the space cached values.
This patch makes system_journal_open() stop emitting the space usage
message. The caller is now free to emit this message when appropriate.
When restarting the journal, we can now emit the message *after*
flushing the journal (if required) so that all flushed log entries are
written in the persistent journal *before* the status message.
This is required since the status message is always younger than the
flushed entries.
Fixes#4190.
This commit simply extracts from determine_space_for() the code which emits the
storage usage message and put it into a function of its own so it can be reused
by others paths later.
No functional changes.
This structure keeps track of specificities for a given journal type
(persistent or volatile) such as metrics, name, etc...
The cached space values are now moved in this structure so that each
journal has its own set of cached values.
Previously only one set existed and we didn't know if the cached
values were for the runtime journal or the persistent one.
When doing:
determine_space_for(s, runtime_metrics, ...);
determine_space_for(s, system_metrics, ...);
the second call returned the cached values for the runtime metrics.
This commit simply extracts from determine_space_for() the code which
determines the FS usage where the passed path lives (statvfs(3)) and put it
into a function of its own so it can be reused by others paths later.
No functional changes.
Never permit that we write to journal files that have newer timestamps than our
local wallclock has. If we'd accept that, then the entries in the file might
end up not being ordered strictly.
Let's refuse this with ETXTBSY, and then immediately rotate to use a new file,
so that each file remains strictly ordered also be wallclock internally.
As soon as we notice that the clock jumps backwards, rotate journal files. This
is beneficial, as this makes sure that the entries in journal files remain
strictly ordered internally, and thus the bisection algorithm applied on it is
not confused.
This should help avoiding borked wallclock-based bisection on journal files as
witnessed in #4278.
Let's use the earliest linearized event timestamp for journal entries we have:
the event dispatch timestamp from the event loop, instead of requerying the
timestamp at the time of writing.
This makes the time a bit more accurate, allows us to query the kernel time one
time less per event loop, and also makes sure we always use the same timestamp
for both attempts to write an entry to a journal file.
When iterating through partially synced journal files we need to be prepared
for hitting with invalid entries (specifically: non-initialized). Instead of
generated an error and giving up, let's simply try to preceed with the next one
that is valid (and debug log about this).
This reworks the logic introduced with caeab8f626
to iteration in both directions, and tries to look for valid entries located
after the invalid one. It also extends the behaviour to both iterating through
the global entry array and per-data object entry arrays.
Fixes: #4088
Let's make dissecting of borked journal files more expressive: if we encounter
an object whose first 8 bytes are all zeroes, then let's assume the object was
simply never initialized, and say so.
Previously, this would be detected as "overly short object", which is true too
in a away, but it's a lot more helpful printing different debug options for the
case where the size is not initialized at all and where the size is initialized
to some bogus value.
No function behaviour change, only a different log messages for both cases.
Let's make it easier to figure out when we see an invalid journal file, why we
consider it invalid, and add some minimal debug logging for it.
This log output is normally not seen (after all, this all is library code),
unless debug logging is exlicitly turned on.
When date is changed in system to future and normal user logs to new journal file, and then date is changed back to present time, the "journalctl --list-boot" command goes to forever loop. This commit tries to fix this problem by checking first the boot id list if the found boot id was already in that list. If it is found, then stopping the boot id find loop.
This adds a new invocation ID concept to the service manager. The invocation ID
identifies each runtime cycle of a unit uniquely. A new randomized 128bit ID is
generated each time a unit moves from and inactive to an activating or active
state.
The primary usecase for this concept is to connect the runtime data PID 1
maintains about a service with the offline data the journal stores about it.
Previously we'd use the unit name plus start/stop times, which however is
highly racy since the journal will generally process log data after the service
already ended.
The "invocation ID" kinda matches the "boot ID" concept of the Linux kernel,
except that it applies to an individual unit instead of the whole system.
The invocation ID is passed to the activated processes as environment variable.
It is additionally stored as extended attribute on the cgroup of the unit. The
latter is used by journald to automatically retrieve it for each log logged
message and attach it to the log entry. The environment variable is very easily
accessible, even for unprivileged services. OTOH the extended attribute is only
accessible to privileged processes (this is because cgroupfs only supports the
"trusted." xattr namespace, not "user."). The environment variable may be
altered by services, the extended attribute may not be, hence is the better
choice for the journal.
Note that reading the invocation ID off the extended attribute from journald is
racy, similar to the way reading the unit name for a logging process is.
This patch adds APIs to read the invocation ID to sd-id128:
sd_id128_get_invocation() may be used in a similar fashion to
sd_id128_get_boot().
PID1's own logging is updated to always include the invocation ID when it logs
information about a unit.
A new bus call GetUnitByInvocationID() is added that allows retrieving a bus
path to a unit by its invocation ID. The bus path is built using the invocation
ID, thus providing a path for referring to a unit that is valid only for the
current runtime cycleof it.
Outlook for the future: should the kernel eventually allow passing of cgroup
information along AF_UNIX/SOCK_DGRAM messages via a unique cgroup id, then we
can alter the invocation ID to be generated as hash from that rather than
entirely randomly. This way we can derive the invocation race-freely from the
messages.
Currently, the ratelimit does not handle the number of suppressed messages accurately.
Even though the number of messages reaches the limit, it still allows to add one extra messages to journal.
This patch fixes the problem.
This patch fixes wrong calculation of burst_modulate(), which now calculates
the values smaller than really expected ones if available disk space is
strictly more than 1MB.
In particular, if available disk space is strictly more than 1MB and strictly
less than 16MB, the resulted value becomes smaller than its original one.
>>> (math.log2(1*1024**2)-16) / 4
1.0
>>> (math.log2(16*1024**2)-16) / 4
2.0
>>> (math.log2(256*1024**2)-16) / 4
3.0
→ This matches the comment in the function.
Since commit 5996c7c295 (v190 !), the
calculation of the HMAC is broken because the hash for a data object
including a field is done in the wrong order: the field object is
hashed before the data object is.
However during verification, the hash is done in the opposite order as
objects are scanned sequentially.
The key used to be jammed next to the local file path. Based on the format string on line 1675, I determined that the order of arguments was written incorrectly, and updated the function based on that assumption.

According to its manual page, flags given to mkostemp(3) shouldn't include
O_RDWR, O_CREAT or O_EXCL flags as these are always included. Beyond
those, the only flag that all callers (except a few tests where it
probably doesn't matter) use is O_CLOEXEC, so set that unconditionally.
When the system journal becomes re-opened post-flush with the runtime
journal open, it implies we've recovered from something like an ENOSPC
situation where the system journal rotate had failed, leaving the system
journal closed, causing the runtime journal to be opened post-flush.
For the duration of the unavailable system journal, we log to the
runtime journal. But when the system journal gets opened (space made
available, for example), we need to close the runtime journal before new
journal writes will go to the system journal. Calling
server_flush_to_var() after opening the system journal with a runtime
journal present, post-flush, achieves this while preserving the runtime
journal's contents in the system journal.
The combination of the present flushed flag file and the runtime journal
being open is a state where we should be logging to the system journal,
so it's appropriate to resume doing so once we've successfully opened
the system journal.
If journals get into a closed state like when rotate fails due to
ENOSPC, when space is made available it currently goes unnoticed leaving
the journals in a closed state indefinitely.
By calling system_journal_open() on entry to find_journal() we ensure
the journal has been opened/created if possible.
Also moved system_journal_open() up to after open_journal(), before
find_journal().

It is useful to look at a (possibly inactive) container or other os tree
with --root=/path/to/container. This is similar to specifying
--directory=/path/to/container/var/log/journal --directory=/path/to/container/run/systemd/journal
(if using --directory multiple times was allowed), but doesn't require
as much typing.
The directory argument that is given to sd_j_o_d was ignored when
SD_JOURNAL_OS_ROOT was given, and directories relative to the root of the host
file system were used. With that flag, sd_j_o_d should do the same as
sd_j_open_container: use the path as "prefix", i.e. the directory relative to
which everything happens.
Instead of touching sd_j_o_d, journal_new is fixed to do what sd_j_o_c
was doing, and treat the specified path as prefix when SD_JOURNAL_OS_ROOT is
specified.
Fixed (master) versions of libtool pass -fsanitize=address correctly
into CFLAGS and LDFLAGS allowing ASAN to be used without any special
configure tricks..however ASAN triggers in lookup3.c for the same
reasons valgrind does. take the alternative codepath if
__SANITIZE_ADDRESS__ is defined as well.
Beef up the existing var_tmp() call, rename it to var_tmp_dir() and add a
matching tmp_dir() call (the former looks for the place for /var/tmp, the
latter for /tmp).
Both calls check $TMPDIR, $TEMP, $TMP, following the algorithm Python3 uses.
All dirs are validated before use. secure_getenv() is used in order to limite
exposure in suid binaries.
This also ports a couple of users over to these new APIs.
The var_tmp() return parameter is changed from an allocated buffer the caller
will own to a const string either pointing into environ[], or into a static
const buffer. Given that environ[] is mostly considered constant (and this is
exposed in the very well-known getenv() call), this should be OK behaviour and
allows us to avoid memory allocations in most cases.
Note that $TMPDIR and friends override both /var/tmp and /tmp usage if set.
In this mode, messages from processes which are not part of the session
land in the main journal file, and only output of processes which are
properly part of the session land in the user's journal. This is
confusing, in particular because systemd-coredump runs outside of the
login session.
"Deprecate" SplitMode=login by removing it from documentation, to
discourage people from using it.
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
--boot=0 magically meant "this boot", but when used with --file/--directory it
should simply refer to the last boot found in the specified journal. This way,
--boot and --list-boots are consistent.
Fixes#3603.
It works mostly fine, and can be quite useful to examine data from another
system.
OTOH, a single boot id doesn't make sense with --merge, so mixing with --merge
is still not allowed.
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.
We generally follow the rule that for time settings we suffix the setting name
with "Sec" to indicate the default unit if none is specified. The only
exception was the rate limiting interval settings. Fix this, and keep the old
names for compatibility.
Do the same for journald's RateLimitInterval= setting
The only code path which makes a journal durable is via
journal_file_set_offline().
When we perform a rotate the journal's header->state is being set to
STATE_ARCHIVED prior to journal_file_set_offline() being called.
In journal_file_set_offline(), we short-circuit the entire offline when
f->header->state != STATE_ONLINE.
This all results in none of the journal_file_set_offline() fsync() calls
being reached when rotate archives a journal, so archived journals are
never explicitly made durable.
What we do now is instead of setting the f->header->state to
STATE_ARCHIVED directly in journal_file_rotate() prior to
journal_file_close(), we set an archive flag in f->archive for the
journal_file_set_offline() machinery to honor by committing
STATE_ARCHIVED instead of STATE_OFFLINE when set.
Prior to this, rotated journals were never getting fsync() explicitly
performed on them, since journal_file_set_offline() short-circuited.
Obviously this is undesirable, and depends entirely on the underlying
filesystem as to how much durability was achieved when simply closing
the file.
Note that this problem existed prior to the recent asynchronous fsync
changes, but those changes do facilitate our performing this durable
offline on rotate without blocking, regardless of the underlying
filesystem sync-on-close semantics.
Previously, when we used a bisection table for seeking through a corrupted
file, and the end of the bisection table was corrupted we'd most likely fail
the entire seek operation. Improve the situation: if we encounter invalid
entries in a bisection table, linearly go backwards until we find a working
entry again.
When we linearly iterate through a corrupted journal file, and we encounter a
read error, don't consider this fatal, but merely as EOF condition (and log
about it).
Early in journal_file_set_offline() f->header->state is tested to see if
it's != STATE_ONLINE, and since there's no need to do anything if the
journal isn't online, the function simply returned here.
Since moving part of the offlining process to a separate thread, there
are two problems here:
1. We can't simply check f->header->state, because if there is an
offline thread active it may modify f->header->state.
2. Even if the journal is deemed offline, the thread responsible may
still need joining, so a bare return may leak the thread's resources
like its stack.
To address #1, the helper journal_file_is_offlining() is called prior to
accessing f->header->state.
If journal_file_is_offlining() returns true, f->header->state isn't even
checked, because an offlining journal is obviously online, and we'll
just continue with the normal set offline code path.
If journal_file_is_offlining() returns false, then it's safe to check
f->header->state, because the offline_state is beyond the point of
modifying f->header->state, and there's a memory barrier in the helper.
If we find f->header->state is != STATE_ONLINE, then we call the
idempotent journal_file_set_offline_thread_join() on the way out of the
function, to join a potential lingering offline thread.
This way, the switch becomes compatible with nspawn containers using --image=,
and those which only store journal data in /run (i.e. have persistant logs
off).
Fixes: #49
When appending to a journal file, journald will:
a) first, append the actual entry to the end of the journal file
b) second, add an offset reference to it to the global entry array stored at
the beginning of the file
c) third, add offset references to it to the per-field entry array stored at
various places of the file
The global entry array, maintained by b) is used when iterating through the
journal without matches applied.
The per-field entry array maintained by c) is used when iterating through the
journal with a match for that specific field applied.
In the wild, there are journal files where a) and b) were completed, but c)
was not before the files were abandoned. This means, that in some cases log
entries are at the end of these files that appear in the global entry array,
but not in the per-field entry array of the _BOOT_ID= field. Now, the
"journalctl --list-boots" command alternatingly uses the global entry array
and the per-field entry array of the _BOOT_ID= field. It seeks to the last
entry of a specific _BOOT_ID=field by having the right match installed, and
then jumps to the next following entry with no match installed anymore, under
the assumption this would bring it to the next boot ID. However, if the
per-field entry wasn't written fully, it might actually turn out that the
global entry array might know one more entry with the same _BOOT_ID, thus
resulting in a indefinite loop around the same _BOOT_ID.
This patch fixes that, by updating the boot search logic to always continue
reading entries until the boot ID actually changed from the previous. Thus, the
per-field entry array is used as quick jump index (i.e. as an optimization),
but not trusted otherwise. Only the global entry array is trusted.
This replaces PR #1904, which is actually very similar to this one. However,
this one actually reads the boot ID directly from the entry header, and doesn't
try to read it at all until the read pointer is actually really located on the
first item to read.
Fixes: #617
Replaces: #1904
Show the various timestamps in hexadecimal too. This is useful for matching the
timestamps included in cursor strings (which are encoded in hex, too), with the
references in the journal header.
Drop the "read_realtime" parameter. Getting the realtime timestamp from an
entry is cheap, as it is a normal header field, hence let's just get this
unconditionally, and simplify our code a bit.
With this change a new flag SD_JOURNAL_OS_ROOT is introduced. If specified
while opening the journal with the per-directory calls (specifically:
sd_journal_open_directory() and sd_journal_open_directory_fd()) the passed
directory is assumed to be the root directory of an OS tree, and the journal
files are searched for in /var/log/journal, /run/log/journal relative to it.
This is useful to allow usage of sd-journal on file descriptors returned by the
OpenRootDirectory() call of machined.
Also, expose this via the "journalctl --file=-" syntax for STDIN. This feature
remains undocumented though, as it is probably not too useful in real-life as
this still requires fds that support mmaping and seeking, i.e. does not work
for pipes, for which reading from STDIN is most commonly used.
Let's output the actual error code encountered, and let's not claim this was
purely triggered by files, because it can also be triggered by directories.
This is slightly nicer, since we actually watch the directories we opened and
enumerate. However, primarily this is preparation for adding support for
opening journal files by fd without specifying any path, to be added in a later
commit.
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
The comments and the log messages are next to one another, so it's easier
to check that the messages match the comments.
The sign was omitted in the check for -ESHUTDOWN, so it was never matched.
It might be nicer to propagate the error to the caller, but that'd
be a bigger refactoring. This shouldn't really fail, so just add
an assert.

The patch is not minimal, but a function to parse size_t is probably
going to come in handy in other places, so I think it's nicer to define
a proper parsing function than to open-code the cast.
Many subsystems define own pager_open_if_enabled() function which
checks '--no-pager' command line argument and open pager depends
on its value. All implementations of pager_open_if_enabled() are
the same. Let's merger this function with pager_open() from the
shared/pager.c and remove pager_open_if_enabled() from all subsytems
to prevent code duplication.
Throughout the tree there's spurious use of spaces separating ++ and --
operators from their respective operands. Make ++ and -- operator
consistent with the majority of existing uses; discard the spaces.
When we rotate journals, we must set offline and close the current one,
but don't generally need to wait for this to complete.
Instead, we'll initiate an asynchronous offline via
journal_file_set_offline(oldfile, false), and add the file to a
per-server set of deferred closes to be closed later when they
won't block.
There's one complication however; journal_file_open() via
journal_file_verify_header() assumes that any writable journal in the
online state is the product of an unclean shutdown or other form of
corruption.
Thus there's a need for journal_file_open() to be aware of deferred
closes and synchronize with their completion when opening preexisting
journals for writing. To facilitate this the deferred closes set is
supplied to the journal_file_open() function where the deferred closes
may be closed synchronously before verifying the header in such
circumstances.
This adds a wait flag to journal_file_set_offline(), when false the offline is
performed asynchronously in a separate thread.
When wait is true, if an asynchronous offline is already in-progress it is
restarted and waited for. Otherwise the offline is performed synchronously
without the use of a thread.
journal_file_set_online() cancels or waits for the asynchronous offline to
complete if in-flight, depending on where in the offline process the thread
happens to be. If the thread is in the fsync() phase, it is cancelled and
waiting is unnecessary. Otherwise, the thread is joined before proceeding.
A new offline_state member is added to JournalFile which is used via
atomic operations for communicating between the offline thread and the
journal_file_set_{offline,online}() functions.
Various buffers were lost because finish_item() either consumed
the buffer or allocated a new one (if an entry with the same key existed).
The caller would simply forget the buffer in either case.
Also add a check for the case when a valid identifier is followed by
an empty body. We should not allow this.
Also be more consistent in error handling and always print an error
message.
It's annoying to have the exact same function in three places.
It's stored in src/shared, but it's not added to the library to
avoid the dependency on libgcrypt.
ISO/IEC 9899:1999 §7.21.1/2 says:
Where an argument declared as size_t n specifies the length of the array
for a function, n can have the value zero on a call to that
function. Unless explicitly stated otherwise in the description of a
particular function in this subclause, pointer arguments on such a call
shall still have valid values, as described in 7.1.4.
In base64_append_width memcpy was called as memcpy(x, NULL, 0). GCC 4.9
started making use of this and assumes This worked fine under -O0, but
does something strange under -O3.
This patch fixes a bug in base64_append_width(), fixes a possible bug in
journal_file_append_entry_internal(), and makes use of the new function
to simplify the code in other places.
Remove the check that triggers rotation of the journal file when the arriving log entry had a monotonic timestamp smaller that the previous log entry. This check causes unnecessary rotations when journal-remote was receiving from multiple senders, therefore monotonicity can not be guaranteed. Also, it does not offer any useful functionality for systemd-journald.
None of the callers take advantage of this parameter, it's always NULL,
this is just a private helper function to simplify the call sites so
drop the template parameter altogether. If a caller emerges later who
needs it, it can be restored.
Instead of discarding duplicate catalog entries, we now combine
them. This allows software or admins to add or override catalog
headers, or add additional text to the catalog message.
Let's use bitfields for our booleans, and don't try to apply binary OR or addition on them, because that's weird and we
should instead use logical OR only.
Currently when journalctl is called with path to block device node we
add following match _KERNEL_DEVICE=b$MAJOR:$MINOR.
That is not sufficient to actually obtain logs about the disk because
dev_printk() kernel helper puts to /dev/kmsg information about the
device in following format, +$SUBSYSTEM:$ADDRESS,
e.g. "+pci:pci:0000:00:14.0".
Now we will walk upward the syspath and add match for every device in
format produced by dev_printk() as well as match for its device node if
it exists.
This adds two new calls to get the list of all journal fields names currently in use.
This is the low-level support to implement the feature requested in #2176 in a more optimized way.
Also introduce sd_journal_has_runtime_files() and
sd_journal_has_persistent_files() to the public API. These functions
can be used to easily find out if the open journal files are runtime
and/or persistent.
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.
This primarily contains some minor coding style fixups for 7a24f3bf2f and earlier changes. Specifically:
* Don't log at log levels above LOG_DEBUG from "library" code like journal-file.c
* Don't negate errno values before passing them to log_debug_errno(), as the call can handle this fine anyway
* Cast some calls we knowingly ignore the return values of to (void)
* Don't clobber function call-by-ref return values on failure
* Don't mix function calls and variable declarations in one line
There's also one more relevant change: when failing to enqueue a journal change fs event, we'll run it immediately.
Previously the save_external_coredump function returned a file
descriptor corresponding to the dumped file. This descriptor was used
for two different purposes by calling code: a) access to the raw core
dump data; b) testing candidate files (via inode comparisons) while
vacuuming to protect the current core dump from vacuuming.
The descriptor returned always corresponded to a file containing the raw
core dump data. However if compresson was used and the core dump was
compressed then the descriptor returned did not correspond to the file
that would eventually be left on disk (ie the compressed file). Thus
the file was never protected by vacuuming. When disk space was low all
core dumps including the current one would be vacuumed and the
corresponding log message referred to a file that no longer existed.
This resulted in the following error message from coredumpctl if the
missing core dump was requested:
Cannot retrieve coredump from journal nor disk.

save_external_coredump now returns two descriptors, one to be used for
inode comparisons to prevent overzealous vacuuming and one to be used
for raw data access. When compression is not used the returned inode
comparison descriptor will be invalid, indicating that the raw data
access descriptor should be used for inode comparisons as well.
Corresponding use of save_external_coredump and the returned
descriptors also updated.
The format of the journald disk usage log entry was changed back and
forth a few times. It is annoying to have a very verbose message, but
if it is short it is hard to understand. But we have a tool for this,
the catalogue.

The code to format the iovec is shared with log.c. All call sites to
server_driver_message are changed to include the additional "MESSAGE="
part, but the new functionality is not used and change in functionality
is not expected.
iovec is preallocated, so the maximum number of messages is limited.
In server_driver_message N_IOVEC_PAYLOAD_FIELDS is currently set to 1.
New code is not oom safe, it will fail if memory cannot be allocated.
This will be fixed in subsequent commit.

function.
Not sure if this results in an exploitable buffer overflow, probably not
since the the int value is likely sanitized somewhere earlier and it's
being put through a bit mask shortly before being used.
The stream event source has a priority of SD_EVENT_PRIORITY_NORMAL+5,
and stdout source +10, but the native and syslog event sources are left
at the default of 0.
As a result, any heavy native or syslog logger can cause starvation of
the other loggers. This is trivially demonstrated by running:
dd if=/dev/urandom bs=8k | od | systemd-cat & # native spammer
systemd-run echo hello & # stream logger
journalctl --follow --output=verbose --no-pager --identifier=echo &
... and wait, and wait, the "hello" never comes.
Now kill %1, "hello" arrives finally.
This was the case that caused various problems that were fixed in
preceding patches, so it is good to add a test that uses it directly.
In "may_fail" test cases try again with a bigger buffer.
Instead of allocating various buffers on the stack, malloc them.
This is more reliable in case of big buffers, and allows tools like
valgrind and address sanitizer to find overflows more easily.
Add a test that LZ4_decompress_safe_partial does (not) work as
expected, so that if it starts to work at some point, we'll catch
this and adjust our code.
The header is 7 bytes, and this size was not accounted for in
total_out. This means that we could create a file that was 7 bytes
longer than requested, and the debug output was also inconsistent.
compress_blob took src, src_size, dst and *dst_size, but dst_size
wasn't used as an input parameter with the size of dst, but only as an
output parameter. dst was implicitly assumed to be at least src_size-1.
This code wasn't *wrong*, because the only real caller in
journal-file.c got it right. But it was misleading, and the tests in
test-compress.c got it wrong, and worked only because the output
buffer happened to be the same size as input buffer. So add a seperate
dst_allocated_size parameter to make it explicit what the size of the
buffer is, and to allow test to proceed with different output buffer
sizes.
lz4 has to decompress a whole "sequence" at a time. When the compressed
data is composed of a repeating pattern, the whole set of repeats has
do be docompressed, and the output buffer has to be big enough.
This is unfortunate, because potentially the slowdown is very big. We
are only interested in the field name, but we might have to decompress
the whole thing. But the full cost will be borne out only when the
full entry is a repeating pattern. In practice this shouldn't happen
(apart from tests and the like). Hopefully lz4 will be fixed to avoid
this problem, or it will grow a new function which we can use [1], so
this fix should be remporary.

The return value was used directly in an if, so an error was treated
as success; we need to bail out instead. An error should not happen,
unless we have a compression/decompression mismatch, so output a debug
line.

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.
Most of the function is moved to acl-util.c to make it possible to
add tests in subsequent commit.
Setting of the mode in server_fix_perms is removed:
- we either just created the file ourselves, and the permission be better right,
- or the file was already there, and we should not modify the permissions.
server_fix_perms is renamed to server_fix_acls to better reflect new
meaning, and made static because it is only used in one file.
Let's distuingish the cases where our code takes an active role in
selinux management, or just passively reports whatever selinux
properties are set.
mac_selinux_have() now checks whether selinux is around for the passive
stuff, and mac_selinux_use() for the active stuff. The latter checks the
former, plus also checks UID == 0, under the assumption that only when
we run priviliged selinux management really makes sense.
Fixes: #1941
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.
Rather than passing a pointer to return the result, return it directly
from the function calls.
Also, return the result in native endianess, and let the callers care
about the conversion. For hash tables and bloom filters, we don't care,
but in order to keep MAC addresses and DHCP client IDs stable, we
explicitly convert to LE.
Change the "out" parameter from uint8_t[8] to uint64_t. On architectures which
enforce pointer alignment this fixes crashes when we previously cast an
unaligned array to uint64_t*, and on others this should at least improve
performance as the compiler now aligns these properly.
This also simplifies the code in most cases by getting rid of typecasts. The
only place which we can't change is struct duid's en.id, as that is _packed_
and public API, so we can't enforce alignment of the "id" field and have to
use memcpy instead.
Adding 3/4th of the watchdog frequency as accuracy on top of 1/2 of the
watchdog frequency means we might end up at 5/4th of the frequency which
means we might miss the message from time to time.
Maybe fixes#1804
Previously, we'd rely on the mtime timestamps of the touch files to see
if our sync/rotation requests were already suppressed. This means we
rely on CLOCK_REALTIME timestamps. With this patch we instead store the
CLOCK_MONOTONIC timestamp *in* the touch files, and avoid relying on
mtime.
This should make things more reliable when the clock or underlying mtime
granularity is not very good.
This also adds warning messages if writing any of the flag files fails.
Of course, ideally we'd just use normal synchronous bus calls, but this
is out of the question as long as we rely on dbus-daemon (which logs to
journald, and thus cannot use to avoid cyclic sync loops). Hence,
instead, reuse the wait logic already implemented for --sync, and use a
signal in one direction, and a mtime watch file for the reply.
With this new "--sync" switch we add a synchronous way to sync
everything queued to disk, and return only after that's complete. This
command gives the guarantee that anything queued before has hit the disk
before the command returns.
While we are at it, also improve the man pages and help text for
journalctl a bit.
The macro is generically useful for putting together search paths, hence
let's make it truly generic, by dropping the implicit ".d" appending it
does, and leave that to the caller. Also rename it from
CONF_DIRS_NULSTR() to CONF_PATHS_NULSTR(), since it's not strictly about
dirs that way, but any kind of file system path.
Also, mark CONF_DIR_SPLIT_USR() as internal macro by renaming it to
_CONF_PATHS_SPLIT_USR() so that the leading underscore indicates that
it's internal.
For low end embedded systems 4 MiB for each journal file is a lot of
memory. Journald will use at least 512 KiB even if JOURNAL_FILE_SIZE_MIN is
set to less than that so just use 512 KiB.
When we enumerate journal files and encounter an invalid one, remember
which this, and show it to the user.
Note the possibly slightly surprising logic here: we store only one path
per error code. This means we show all error kinds but not every actual
error we encounter. This has the benefit of not requiring us to keep a
potentially unbounded list of errors with their sources around, but can
still provide a pretty complete overview on the errors we encountered.
Fixes#1669.
- Always print a debug log message about files and directories we cannot
open right when it happens instead of the caller, thus reducing the
number of places where we need to generate the debug message.
- Always push the errors we encounter immediately into the error set,
when we run into them, instead of in the caller. Thus, we never forget
to push them in.
- Use stack instead of heap memory where we can.
- Make remove_file() void, since it cannot fail anyway and always
returned 0.
- Make local machine check of journal directories explicit in a
function, to make things more readable.
- Port to all directory listing loops FOREACH_DIRENT_ALL()
- sd-daemon is library code, hence never log at higher log levels than
LOG_DEBUG.
When reading stuff, we should only return EIO when an actual read error
occured, not when we don't like the data for whatever reason.
We already return ENODATA for all other kinds of file truncation, hence
do the same for the most obvious kind, so that callers know what ENODATA
means.
Otherwise we might run into deadlocks, when journald blocks on the
notify socket on PID 1, and PID 1 blocks on IPC to dbus-daemon and
dbus-daemon blocks on logging to journald. Break this cycle by making
sure that journald never ever blocks on PID 1.
Note that this change disables support for event loop watchdog support,
as these messages are sent in blocking style by sd-event. That should
not be a big loss though, as people reported frequent problems with the
watchdog hitting journald on excessively slow IO.
Fixes: #1505.
The files are named too generically, so that they might conflict with
the upstream project headers. Hence, let's add a "-util" suffix, to
clarify that this are just our utility headers and not any official
upstream headers.
