- If length of formatted string >= LONG_LINE_MAX then return -ENOBUFS
- Normal Case:
- length of formatted string < POSIX defined LINE_MAX
- Allocate sbuf to accomodate the message
- Rare case:
- LINE_MAX < length of formatted string < LONG_LINE_MAX
- Allocate the required length using alloca()
Let's introduce an explicit line ending marker for line endings due to
pid change.
Let's also make sure we don't get confused with buffer management.
Fixes: #15654
If the previous received buffer length is almost equal to the allocated
buffer size, before this change the next read can only receive a couple
of bytes (in the worst case only 1 byte), which is not efficient.
We always need to make them unions with a "struct cmsghdr" in them, so
that things properly aligned. Otherwise we might end up at an unaligned
address and the counting goes all wrong, possibly making the kernel
refuse our buffers.
Also, let's make sure we initialize the control buffers to zero when
sending, but leave them uninitialized when reading.
Both the alignment and the initialization thing is mentioned in the
cmsg(3) man page.
HUGE_SIZE was defined inconsistently.

Don't assume that 4MB can be allocated from stack since there could be smaller
DefaultLimitSTACK= in force, so let's use malloc(). NUL terminate the huge
strings by hand, also ensure termination in test_lz4_decompress_partial() and
optimize the memset() for the string.
Some items in /proc and /etc may not be accessible to poor unprivileged users
due to e.g. SELinux, BOFH or both, so check for EACCES and EPERM.
/var/tmp may be a symlink to /tmp and then path_compare() will always fail, so
let's stick to /tmp like elsewhere.
/tmp may be mounted with noexec option and then trying to execute scripts from
there would fail.
Detect and warn if seccomp is already in use, which could make seccomp test
fail if the syscalls are already blocked.
Unset $TMPDIR so it will not break specifier tests where %T is assumed to be
/tmp and %V /var/tmp.
Let's be extra careful whenever we return from recvmsg() and see
MSG_CTRUNC set. This generally means we ran into a programming error, as
we didn't size the control buffer large enough. It's an error condition
we should at least log about, or propagate up. Hence do that.
This is particularly important when receiving fds, since for those the
control data can be of any size. In particular on stream sockets that's
nasty, because if we miss an fd because of control data truncation we
cannot recover, we might not even realize that we are one off.
(Also, when failing early, if there's any chance the socket might be
AF_UNIX let's close all received fds, all the time. We got this right
most of the time, but there were a few cases missing. God, UNIX is hard
to use)
It's not that I think that "hostname" is vastly superior to "host name". Quite
the opposite — the difference is small, and in some context the two-word version
does fit better. But in the tree, there are ~200 occurrences of the first, and
>1600 of the other, and consistent spelling is more important than any particular
spelling choice.
Let's make it optional whether auditing is enabled at journald start-up
or not.
Note that this only controls whether audit is enabled/disabled in the
kernel. Either way we'll still collect the audit data if it is
generated, i.e. if some other tool enables it, we'll collect it.
Fixes: #959
journal_file_fstat() returns an error if we call it on already unlinked
journal file and hence we never reach remove_file_real() which is the
entire point.
I must have made some mistake while testing the fix that got me thinking
the issue is gone while opposite was true.
Fixes#14695
This regression was introduced in #14913.
The current_file variable can be NULL, as, for example, with the
following commands:
* journalctl --list-boots
* journalctl -b -1 --no-pager
Since current_file is only checked for pointer equality with f, removing
the assertion is safe here.
When having a service which intentionally outputs multiple equal lines,
all these messages might be inserted with the same timestamp.
journalctl has a mechanism to avoid duplicate lines, which might be in
different journal files.
This patch allows duplicate lines, if they are from the same file.
It fully initializes the address structure, so no need for pre-initialization,
and also returns the length of the address, so no need to recalculate using
SOCKADDR_UN_LEN().
socklen_t is unsigned, so let's not use an int for it. (It doesn't matter, but
seems cleaner and more portable to not assume anything about the type.)
.msg_namelen was set to a bogus value before we actually stored the path in the
the structure. sockaddr_un_set_path() returns the length, so just use that.
Fixes#14799.
If we have exit on idle, then operations such as "journalctl
--namespace=foo --rotate" should work even if the journal daemon is
currently not running.
(Note that we don't do activation by varlink for the main instance of
journald, I am not sure the deadlocks it might introduce are worth it)
