sd_event_now() is a public function, so we must check all
arguments for validity. Update man page and add tests.
Sample debug message:
Assertion 'IN_SET(clock, CLOCK_REALTIME, CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM, CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_BOOTTIME, CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM)' failed at src/libsystemd/sd-event/sd-event.c:2719, function sd_event_now(). Ignoring.
Set SD_EVENT_PROFILE_DELAYS to activate accounting and periodic logging
of the distribution of delays between sd_event_run() calls.
Time spent in dispatching as well as time spent outside of
sd_event_run() is measured and accounted for. Every 5 seconds a
logarithmic histogram loop iteration delays since 5 seconds previous is
logged.
This is useful in identifying the frequency and magnitude of latencies
affecting the event loop, which should be kept to a minimum.
Printing the pointer variable really doesn't help, so drop that.
Instead, add a string lookup table for the EventSourceType enum, and print
the type of event source in case of errors.
We already have a state RUNNING and EXITING when we dispatch regular and
exit callbacks. Let's introduce a new state called PREPARING that is
active while we invoke preparation callbacks. This way we have a state
each for all three kinds of event handlers.
The states are currently not documented, hence let's add a new state to
the end, before we start documenting this.
Let's make _ref() calls happy when NULL is passed to them, and simply
return NULL without any assertion logic. This makes them nicely
symmetric to the _unref() calls which also are happy to take NULL and
become NOPs then.
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.
pthread APIs (unlike the rest of libc) return their errors as positive
error codes directly from the functions, rather than using errno. Let's
make sure we always handle things that way.
Currently, we guarantee that if two event-sources with the same priority
fire at the same time, they're always dispatched in the same order. While
this might sound nice in theory, there's is little benefit in providing
stability on that level. We have no control over the order the events are
reported, hence, we cannot guarantee that we get notified about both at
the same time.
By dropping the stability guarantee, we loose roughly 10% Heap swaps in
the prioq on a desktop cold-boot. Krzysztof Kotlenga even reported up to
20% on his tests. This sounds worth optimizing, so drop the stability
guarantee.
We should never access the "signal" part of the event source unless the
event source is actually for a signal. In this case it's a child pid
handler however, hence make sure to use the right signal.
This is a fix for PR #1177, which in turn was a fix for
9da4cb2be2.
RT signals operate in a queue, and we should be careful to never merge
two queued signals into one. Hence, makes sure we only ever dequeue a
single signal at a time and leave the remaining ones queued in the
signalfd. In order to implement correct priorities for the signals
introduce one signalfd per priority, so that we only process the highest
priority signal at a time.
Previously, if the event loop never ran before sd_event_now() would
fail. With this change it will instead fall back to invoking now(). This
way, the function cannot fail anymore, except for programming error when
invoking it with wrong parameters.
This takes into account the fact that many callers did not handle the
error condition correctly, and if the callers did, then they kept simply
invoking now() as fall back on their own. Hence let's shorten the code
using this call, and make things more robust, and let's just fall back
to now() internally.
Whether now() is used or the cache timestamp may still be detected via
the return value of sd_event_now(). If > 0 is returned, then the fall
back to now() was used, if == 0 is returned, then the cached value was
returned.
This patch also simplifies many of the invocations of sd_event_now():
the manual fall back to now() can be removed. Also, in cases where the
call is invoked withing void functions we can now protect the invocation
via assert_se(), acknowledging the fact that the call cannot fail
anymore except for programming errors with the parameters.
This change is inspired by #841.
If we call EPOLL_CTL_DEL, we *REALLY* expect the file-descriptor to be
present in that given epoll-set. We actually track such state via our
s->io.registered flag, so it better be true.
Make sure if that's not true, we treat it similar to assert_return() (ie.,
print a loud warning).
We protect most of the API from use accross forks, but we still allow both
sd_event and sd_event_source objects to be unref'ed. This would cause
problems as it would unregister sources from the underlying eventfd, hence
also affecting the original instance in the parent process.
This fixes the issue by not touching the fds on unref when done accross a fork,
but still free the memory.
This fixes a regression introduced by
"udevd: move main-loop to sd-event": 693d371d30
where the worker processes were disabling the inotify event source in the
main daemon.
Currently the code will silently blank out events if there are more
then 512 epoll events, causing them never to be handled at all. This
patch removes the cap on the number of events for epoll_wait, thereby
avoiding this issue.
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.
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().
When a child event is disabled (in order to be freed) and there is no
SIGCHLD signal event, sd_event_source_set_enabled will disable SIGCHLD
even if there are other child events.
Also remove some unneeded signalfd updates.

It is redundant to store 'hash' and 'compare' function pointers in
struct Hashmap separately. The functions always comprise a pair.
Store a single pointer to struct hash_ops instead.
systemd keeps hundreds of hashmaps, so this saves a little bit of
memory.
This will allow sd-event to be integrated into an external event loop, which
in turn will allow (say) glib-based applications to use our various libraries,
without manually integrating each of them (bus, rtnl, dhcp, ...).
The external event-loop should integrate sd-event int he following way:
Every iteration must start with a call to sd_event_prepare(), which will
return 0 if no event sources are ready to be processed, a positive value if
they are and a negative value on error. sd_event_prepare() may only be called
following sd_event_dispatch(); a call to sd_event_wait() indicating that no
sources are ready to be dispatched; or a failed call to sd_event_dispatch() or
sd_event_wait().
A successful call to sd_event_prepare() indicating that no event sources are
ready to be dispatched must be followed by a call to sd_event_wait(),
which will return 0 if it timed out without event sources being ready to
be processed, a negative value on error and a positive value otherwise.
sd_event_wait() may only be called following a successful call to
sd_event_prepare() indicating that no event sources are ready to be dispatched.
If sd_event_wait() indicates that some events sources are ready to be
dispatched, it must be followed by a call to sd_event_dispatch(). This
is the only time sd_event_dispatch() may be called.
This is not certain to be likely.
Lennart says: a frequent usecase is invoking some function regularly in intervals
in such a case every single iteration we'll have to rearm
