The journal files might not be tiny hence let's write them to /var/tmp/
instead of /tmp. Also, let's turn on NOCOW on the files, as these tests
might apparently be slow on btrfs.
Fixes: #12210
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary.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.
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.
Previously the compression threshold was hardcoded to 512, which meant that
smaller values wouldn't be compressed. This left some storage savings on the
table, so instead, we make that number tunable.
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.
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.
Let's underline the header line of the table shown by cgtop, how it is
customary for tables. In order to do this, let's introduce new ANSI
underline macros, and clean up the existing ones as side effect.
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.
safe_close() automatically becomes a NOP when a negative fd is passed,
and returns -1 unconditionally. This makes it easy to write lines like
this:
fd = safe_close(fd);
Which will close an fd if it is open, and reset the fd variable
correctly.
By making use of this new scheme we can drop a > 200 lines of code that
was required to test for non-negative fds or to reset the closed fd
variable afterwards.
* Introduce a macro to conditionally execute tests. This avoids
skipping the entire test if some parts require systemd
* Skip the journal tests when no /etc/machine-id is present
* Change test-catalog to load the catalog from the source directory
of systemd.
* /proc/PID/comm got introduced in v2.6.33 but travis is still
using v2.6.32.
* Enable make check and make distcheck on the travis build
* Use -D"CATALOG_DIR=STR($(abs_top_srcdir)/catalog)" as a STRINGIY
would result in the path '/home/ich/source/linux' to be expanded
to '/home/ich/source/1' as linux is defined to 1.
Instead of outputting "5h 55s 50ms 3us" we'll now output "5h
55.050003s". Also, while outputting the accuracy is configurable.
Basically we now try use "dot notation" for all time values > 1min. For
>= 1s we use 's' as unit, otherwise for >= 1ms we use 'ms' as unit, and
finally 'us'.
This should give reasonably values in most cases.
