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)
Let's replace usage of fputc_unlocked() and friends by __fsetlocking(f,
FSETLOCKING_BYCALLER). This turns off locking for the entire FILE*,
instead of doing individual per-call decision whether to use normal
calls or _unlocked() calls.
This has various benefits:
1. It's easier to read and easier not to forget
2. It's more comprehensive, as fprintf() and friends are covered too
(as these functions have no _unlocked() counterpart)
3. Philosophically, it's a bit more correct, because it's more a
property of the file handle really whether we ever pass it on to another
thread, not of the operations we then apply to it.
This patch reworks all pieces of codes that so far used fxyz_unlocked()
calls to use __fsetlocking() instead. It also reworks all places that
use open_memstream(), i.e. use stdio FILE* for string manipulations.
Note that this in some way a revert of 4b61c87511.
As a follow-up for db3f45e2d2 let's do the
same for all other cases where we create a FILE* with local scope and
know that no other threads hence can have access to it.
For most cases this shouldn't change much really, but this should speed
dbus introspection and calender time formatting up a bit.
Embedding sd_id128_t's in constant strings was rather cumbersome. We had
SD_ID128_CONST_STR which returned a const char[], but it had two problems:
- it wasn't possible to statically concatanate this array with a normal string
- gcc wasn't really able to optimize this, and generated code to perform the
"conversion" at runtime.
Because of this, even our own code in coredumpctl wasn't using
SD_ID128_CONST_STR.
Add a new macro to generate a constant string: SD_ID128_MAKE_STR.
It is not as elegant as SD_ID128_CONST_STR, because it requires a repetition
of the numbers, but in practice it is more convenient to use, and allows gcc
to generate smarter code:

It is also much easier to check if a certain binary uses a certain MESSAGE_ID:

The 'Sessions' property for both org.freedesktop.login1.User and
org.freedesktop.login1.Seat is marked as EmitsChangedSignal(false).
Trying to emit a change signal that includes the 'Sessions' property
leads to the signal not being sent at all.
Fixes#5210.
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.
There are more than enough calls doing string manipulations to deserve
its own files, hence do something about it.
This patch also sorts the #include blocks of all files that needed to be
updated, according to the sorting suggestions from CODING_STYLE. Since
pretty much every file needs our string manipulation functions this
effectively means that most files have sorted #include blocks now.
Also touches a few unrelated include files.
Some places invoked fflush() directly with their own manual error
checking, let's unify all that by using fflush_and_check().
This also unifies the general error paths of fflush()+rename() file
writers.
If a session is in closing state (and already got rid of its VT), then
never re-select it for that VT. There is no reason why we should grant
something to a session that is already going away *AND* already got rid
of exactly that.
Our seat->positions[] array keeps track of the 'preferred' session on a
VT. The only situation this is used, is to select the session to activate
when a VT is activated. In the normal case, there's only one session per
VT so the selection is trivial.
Older greeters, however, implement take-overs when they start sessions on
the same VT that the greeter ran on. We recently limited such take-overs
to VTs where a greeter is running on, to force people to never share VTs
in new code that is written.
For legacy reasons, we need to be compatible to old greeters, though.
Hence, we allow those greeters to implement take-over. In such take-overs,
however, we should really make sure that the new sessions gets preferred
over the old one under all circumstances. Hence, make sure we override
the previous preferred session with a new session.
Spell out the proper name. Use 'pos' over 'position', and also update the
logind state file to do the same. Note that this breaks live updates.
However, we only save 'POSITION' on non-seat0, so this shouldn't bother
anyone for real. If you run multi-seat setups, you better restart a
machine on updates, anyway.
This patch removes includes that are not used. The removals were found with
include-what-you-use which checks if any of the symbols from a header is
in use.
It may happen that you have several sessions with the same VT:
- Open a session c1 which leaves some processes around, and log out. The
session will stay in State=closing and become Active=no.
- Log back in on the same VT, get a new session "c2" which is State=active and
Active=yes.
When restarting logind after that, the first session that matches the current
VT becomes Active=yes, which will be c1; c2 thus is Active=no and does not get
the usual polkit/device ACL privileges.
Restore the "closing" state in session_load(), to avoid treating all restored
sessions as State=active. In seat_active_vt_changed(), prefer active sessions
over closing ones if more than one session matches the current VT.
Finally, fix the confusing comment in session_load() and explain it a bit
better.

As a followup to 086891e5c1 "log: add an "error" parameter to all
low-level logging calls and intrdouce log_error_errno() as log calls
that take error numbers", use sed to convert the simple cases to use
the new macros:
find . -name '*.[ch]' | xargs sed -r -i -e \
's/log_(debug|info|notice|warning|error|emergency)\("(.*)%s"(.*), strerror\(-([a-zA-Z_]+)\)\);/log_\1_errno(-\4, "\2%m"\3);/'
Multi-line log_*() invocations are not covered.
And we also should add log_unit_*_errno().
If compositors use the new SwitchTo() logic to map F1-F12, we should allow
them to switch to unregistered VTs, too. Otherwise, the auto-spawn logic
of gettys won't trigger.

greedy_realloc() and greedy_realloc0() now store the allocated
size as the count, not bytes.
Replace GREEDY_REALLOC uses with GREEDY_REALLOC_T everywhere,
and then rename GREEDY_REALLOC_T to GREEDY_REALLOC. It is just
too error-prone to have two slightly different macros which do the
same thing.
If we evict a session position, we open the position slot for future
sessions. However, there might already be another session on the same
position if both were started on the same VT. This is currently done if
gdm spawns the session on its own Xserver.
Hence, look for such a session on pos-eviction and claim the new slot
immediately.
GREEDY_REALLOC takes a pointer to the real size, not the array-width as
argument. Therefore, our array is currently way to small to keep the seat
positions.
Introduce GREEDY_REALLOC0_T() as typed version of GREEDY_REALLOC and store
the array-width instead of array-size.
Use PID_FMT/USEC_FMT/... in more places.
Also update logind error messages to print the full path to a file that
failed. This should make debugging easier for people who do not know
off the top of their head where logind stores it state.
logind has no concept of session ordering. Sessions have a unique name,
some attributes about the capabilities and that's already it. There is
currently no stable+total order on sessions. If we use the logind API to
switch between sessions, we are faced with an unordered list of sessions
we have no clue of.
This used to be no problem on seats with VTs or on seats with only a
single active session. However, with the introduction of multi-session
capability for seats without VTs, we need to find a way to order sessions
in a stable way.
This patch introduces session "positions". A position is a simple integer
assigned to a session which is never changed implicitly (currently, we
also don't change it explicitly, but that may be changed someday). For
seats with VTs, we force the position to be the same as the VTnr. Without
VTs, we simply find the lowest unassigned number and use it as position.
If position-assignment fails or if, for any reason, we decide to not
assign a position to a session, the position is set to 0 (which is treated
as invalid position).
During session_load() or if two sessions have the same VTnr, we may end up
with two sessions with the same position (this shouldn't happen, but lets
be fail-safe in case some other part of the stack fails). This case is
dealt with gracefully by ignoring any session but the first session
assigned to the position. Thus, session->pos is a hint, seat->positions[i]
is the definite position-assignment. Always verify both match in case you
need to modify them!
Additionally, we introduce SwitchTo(unsigned int) on the seat-dbus-API.
You can call it with any integer value != 0 and logind will try to switch
to the request position. If you implement a compositor or any other
session-controller, you simply watch for ctrl+alt+F1 to F12 and call
SwitchTo(Fx). logind will figure a way out deal with this number.
For convenience, we also introduce SwitchToNext/Previous(). It should be
called on ctrl+alt+Left/Right (like the kernel-console used to support).
Note that the public API (SwitchTo*()) is *not* bound to the underlying
logic that is implemented now. We don't export "session-positions" on the
dbus/C API! They are an implementation detail. Instead, the SwitchTo*()
API is supposed to be a hint to let logind choose the session-switching
logic. Any foreground session-controller is free to enumerate/order
existing sessions according to their needs and call Session.Activate()
manually. But the SwitchTo*() API provides a uniform behavior across
session-controllers.
Background: Session-switching keys depend on the active keymap. The XKB
specification provides the XKB_KEY_XF86Switch_VT_1-12 key-symbols which
have to be mapped by all keymaps to allow session-switching. It is usually
bound to ctrl+alt+Fx but may be set differently. A compositor passes any
keyboard input to XKB before passing it to clients. In case a key-press
invokes the XKB_KEY_XF86Switch_VT_x action, the keypress is *not*
forwarded to clients, but instead a session-switch is scheduled.
This actually prevents us from handling these keys outside of the session.
If an active compositor has a keymap with a different mapping of these
keys, and logind itself tries to catch these combinations, we end up with
the key-press sent to the compositor's clients *and* handled by logind.
This is *bad* and we must avoid this. The only situation where a
background process is allowed to handle key-presses is debugging and
emergency-keys. In these cases, we don't care for keymap mismatches and
accept the double-event. Another exception is unmapped keys like
PowerOff/Suspend (even though this one is controversial).
The only problem is that libgen.h #defines basename to point to it's
own broken implementation instead of the GNU one. This can be fixed
by #undefining basename.
Sessions on seat0 must pass us a vtnr, otherwise, you shouldn't try
attaching it to seat0. For seats without VTs, we do the exact opposite: we
forbid VTs.
There can be odd situations if the session-files contain invalid
combinations. However, we try to keep sessions alive and restore state as
good as possible.
Fix the whole code to use "unsigned int" for vtnr. 0 is an invalid vtnr so
we don't need negative numbers at all.
Note that most code already assumes it's unsigned so in case there's a
negative vtnr, our code may, under special circumstances, silently break.
So this patch makes sure all sources of vtnrs verify the validity. Also
note that the dbus api already uses unsigned ints.
Existing applications like gdm already depend on new sessions to get
immediately activated on seats without VTs. Fixes a bug reported as:
[systemd-devel] systemd 208:trouble with inactive user sessions at non-seat0 seats
This patch restores the original behavior. We either need to add a new
flag for session-creation or some other heuristic to avoid activating new
sessions in the future.
We only send the PropertyChanged signal for the to-be-activated session
but not for the to-be-deactivated one. Fix that so both listeners get
notified about the new state.
This enables the multi-session capability for seats that don't have VTs.
For legacy seats with VTs, everything stays the same. However, all other
seats now also get the multi-session capability.
The only feature that was missing was session-switching. As logind can
force a session-switch and signal that via the "Active" property, we only
need a way to allow synchronized/delayed session switches. Compositors
need to cleanup some devices before acknowledging the session switch.
Therefore, we use the session-devices to give compositors a chance to
block a session-switch until they cleaned everything up.
If you activate a session on a seat without VTs, we send a PauseDevice
signal to the active session for every active device. Only once the
session acknowledged all these with a PauseDeviceComplete() call, we
perform the final session switch.
One important note is that delayed session-switching is meant for
backwards compatibility. New compositors or other sessions should really
try to deal correctly with forced session switches! They only need to
handle EACCES/EPERM from syscalls and treat them as "PauseDevice" signal.
Following logind patches will add a timeout to session-switches which
forces the switch if the active session does not react in a timely
fashion. Moreover, explicit ForceActivate() calls might also be supported.
Hence, sessions must not crash if their devices get paused.
