It turns out that the kernel allows comm names higher than our expected limit
of 16.
$ wc -c /proc/*/comm|sort -g|tail -n3
35 /proc/1292317/comm
35 /proc/1293610/comm
36 /proc/1287112/comm
$ cat /proc/1287112/comm

The functions to retrieve and print process cmdlines were based on the
assumption that they contain printable ASCII, and everything else
should be filtered out. That assumption doesn't hold in today's world,
where people are free to use unicode everywhere.
This replaces the custom cmdline reading code with a more generic approach
using utf8_escape_non_printable_full().
For kernel threads, truncation is done on the parenthesized name, so we'll
get "[worker]", "[worker…]", …, "[w…]", "[…", "…" as we reduce the number of
available columns.
This implementation is most likely slower for very long cmdlines, but I don't
think this is very important. The common case is to have short commandlines,
and should print those properly. Absurdly long cmdlines are the exception,
which needs to be handled correctly and safely, but speed is not too important.
Fixes#12532.
v2:
- use size_t for the number of columns. This change propagates into various
other functions that call get_process_cmdline(), increasing the size of the
patch, but the changes are rather trivial.
Gentoo's Portage package manager uses a PID namespace for process
isolation and cleanup. In this namespace, PID 1 has UID=250 (portage).

That call to mount was added as a safeguard against a kernel bug which was fixed in
torvalds/linux@bbd5192.
In principle, the error could be ignored because
* normally everything mounted on /proc/PID should disappear as soon as the PID has gone away
* test-mount-util that had been confused by those phantom entries in /proc/self/mountinfo was
taught to ignore them in 112cc3b.
On the other hand, in practice, if the mount fails, then the next one is extremely unlikely to
succeed, so it seems to be reasonable to just skip the rest of `test_get_process_cmdline_harder`
if that happens.
Closes https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/9649.
When we open our own little namespace for running our tests in, let's
turn off mount propagation only one way, rather than both ways. This is
better as this means we don't pin host mounts unnecessarily long in our
namespace, even though the host already got rid of them. This is because
MS_SLAVE in contrast to MS_PRIVATE allows umount events to propagate
from the host into our environment.
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary.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.
We already do that in get_process_cmdline(), which is very similar in
behaviour otherwise. Hence, let's be safe and also filter them in
get_process_comm(). Let's try to retain as much information as we can
though and escape rather than suppress unprintable characters. Let's not
increase comm names beyond the kernel limit on such names however.
Also see discussion about this here:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-api&m=152649570404881&w=2
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.
We have only three bits of space, i.e. 8 possible classes. Immediately reject
anything outside of that range. Add the fuzzer test case and an additional
unit test.
oss-fuzz #6908.
This adds a new safe_fork() wrapper around fork() and makes use of it
everywhere. The new wrapper does a couple of things we previously did
manually and separately in a safer, more correct and automatic way:
1. Optionally resets signal handlers/mask in the child
2. Sets a name on all processes we fork off right after forking off (and
the patch assigns useful names for all processes we fork off now,
following a systematic naming scheme: always enclosed in () – in order
to indicate that these are not proper, exec()ed processes, but only
forked off children, and if the process is long-running with only our
own code, without execve()'ing something else, it gets am "sd-" prefix.)
3. Optionally closes all file descriptors in the child
4. Optionally sets a PR_SET_DEATHSIG to SIGTERM in the child, in a safe
way so that the parent dying before this happens being handled
safely.
5. Optionally reopens the logs
6. Optionally connects stdin/stdout/stderr to /dev/null
7. Debug logs about the forked off processes.
The advantage is that is the name is mispellt, cpp will warn us.

v2:
- fix incorrect setting of HAVE_LIBIDN2
This moves pretty much all uses of getpid() over to getpid_raw(). I
didn't specifically check whether the optimization is worth it for each
replacement, but in order to keep things simple and systematic I
switched over everything at once.
PR_SET_MM_ARG_START allows us to relatively cleanly implement process renaming.
However, it's only available with privileges. Hence, let's try to make use of
it, and if we can't fall back to the traditional way of overriding argv[0].
This removes size restrictions on the process name shown in argv[] at least for
privileged processes.
This reworks get_process_cmdline() quite substantially, fixing the following:
- Fixes:
a4e3bf4d7a (r66837630)
- The passed max_length is also applied to the "comm" name, if comm_fallback is
set.
- The right thing happens if max_length == 1 is specified
- when the cmdline "foobar" is abbreviated to 6 characters the result is not
"foobar" instead of "foo...".
- trailing whitespace are removed before the ... suffix is appended. The 7
character abbreviation of "foo barz" is hence "foo..." instead of "foo ...".
- leading whitespace are suppressed from the cmdline
- a comprehensive test case is added
