gcc thinks that errno might be negative, and functions could return
something positive on error (-errno). Should not matter in practice,
but makes an -O4 build much quieter.
In order to write tests for the catalog functions, they
are made non-static and start taking a 'database' parameter,
which is the name of a file with the preprocessed catalog
entries.
This makes it possible to make test-catalog part of the
normal test suite, since it now only operates on files
in /tmp.
Some more tests are added.
Coverity complains: systemd-199/src/journal/catalog.c:126:
buffer_size_warning: Calling strncpy with a maximum size argument of
32 bytes on destination array "i->language" of size 32 bytes might
leave the destination string unterminated.
...and unfortunately it was right. The string was defined as a
fixed-size string in some parts of the code, and used a
null-terminated string in others (e.g. in log statements). There's no
point in conserving one byte, so just define the max language tag
length to 31 bytes, and use null terminated strings everywhere.
Also, wrap some lines, zero-fill less bytes, use '\0' instead of just
0 to be more explicit that this is one byte.
systemd-199/src/bootchart/store.c:289: buffer_size_warning: Calling
strncpy with a maximum size argument of 256 bytes on destination array
"ps->name" of size 256 bytes might leave the destination string
unterminated.
...and indeed, the string was used as NULL-terminated later on.
pid_cmdline_strncpy is renamed to pid_cmdline_strscpy to commemorate
the fact that it *does* properly terminate the string.
systemd-199/src/shared/utmp-wtmp.c:228: buffer_size_warning: Calling
strncpy with a maximum size argument of 32 bytes on destination array
"store.ut_line" of size 32 bytes might leave the destination string
unterminated.
The destination string is unterminated on purpose, but we must
remember that.
This key is handled by the hardware already, so handling it again in software
nullifies the effect. Newer kernels read the real state and send out a separate
KEY_TOUCHPAD_ON or KEY_TOUCHPAD_OFF event, so in both cases we need to ignore
that key.

To make the result more visible, special return value
is used to tell automake that the test was skipped. While
at it, use the same return value in other skipped tests.
The rules governing %s where just too complicated. First of
all, looking at $SHELL is dangerous. For systemd --system,
it usually wouldn't be set. But it could be set if the admin
first started a debug shell, let's say /sbin/sash, and then
launched systemd from it. This shouldn't influence how daemons
are started later on, so is better ignored. Similar reasoning
holds for session mode. Some shells set $SHELL, while other
set it only when it wasn't set previously (e.g. zsh). This
results in fragility that is better avoided by ignoring $SHELL
totally.
With $SHELL out of the way, simplify things by saying that
%s==/bin/sh for root, and the configured shell otherwise.
get_shell() is the only caller, so it can be inlined.
Fixes one issue seen with 'make check'.
Previously it was necessary to pull in remote-fs-pre.target to order the
mount units against network.target since the ordering was done
transitively via remote-fs-pre.target.
As network implementations shouldn't need to know about the specific
use-case of network mounts we instead now simply order network.target
against all mounts too. This should make it unnecessary for network
managing services to import remote-fs-pre.target explicitly, as
network.target will now suffice.
Readahead has all sorts of bad side effects depending on your
storage media. On rotating disks, it may be degrading startup
performance if enough requests are queued spanning linearly
over all blocks early at boot, and mount, blkid and friends
want to insert reads to the start of these block devices after.
The end result is that on spinning disks with ext3/4 that udev
and mounts take a very long time, and nothing really happens until
readahead is completely finished.
This has the net effect that the CPU is almost entirely idle
for the entire period that readahead is working. We could have
finished starting up quite a lot of services in this time if
we were smarter at how we do readahead.
This patch sorts all requests into 2 second "chunks" and sub-sorts
each chunk by block. This adds a single cross-drive seek per "chunk"
but has the benefit that we will have a lot of the blocks we need
early on in the boot sequence loaded into memory faster.
For a comparison of how before/after bootcharts look (ext4 on a
mobile 5400rpm 250GB drive) please look at:
http://foo-projects.org/~sofar/blocked-tests/
There are bootcharts in the "before" and "after" folders where you
should be able to see that many low-level services finish 5-7
seconds earlier with the patch applied (after).
x-initrd.mount now has different meanings, if fstab-generator is called
in the initramfs.
initrd:/etc/fstab and x-initrd.mount defines mounts for the
initrd-root-fs.target
initrd:/sysroot/etc/fstab and x-initrd.mount defines mounts for the
initrd-fs.target
As passive units only are useful for ordering things within the initial
transaction there is no point in ever activating them manually, hence
refuse it.
