Whenever we include a log level or facility in a journal string field, make sure the compiler checks for us that that's
actually the right thing to do.
The format of the journald disk usage log entry was changed back and
forth a few times. It is annoying to have a very verbose message, but
if it is short it is hard to understand. But we have a tool for this,
the catalogue.

The code to format the iovec is shared with log.c. All call sites to
server_driver_message are changed to include the additional "MESSAGE="
part, but the new functionality is not used and change in functionality
is not expected.
iovec is preallocated, so the maximum number of messages is limited.
In server_driver_message N_IOVEC_PAYLOAD_FIELDS is currently set to 1.
New code is not oom safe, it will fail if memory cannot be allocated.
This will be fixed in subsequent commit.
Most of the function is moved to acl-util.c to make it possible to
add tests in subsequent commit.
Setting of the mode in server_fix_perms is removed:
- we either just created the file ourselves, and the permission be better right,
- or the file was already there, and we should not modify the permissions.
server_fix_perms is renamed to server_fix_acls to better reflect new
meaning, and made static because it is only used in one file.
Let's distuingish the cases where our code takes an active role in
selinux management, or just passively reports whatever selinux
properties are set.
mac_selinux_have() now checks whether selinux is around for the passive
stuff, and mac_selinux_use() for the active stuff. The latter checks the
former, plus also checks UID == 0, under the assumption that only when
we run priviliged selinux management really makes sense.
Fixes: #1941
Adding 3/4th of the watchdog frequency as accuracy on top of 1/2 of the
watchdog frequency means we might end up at 5/4th of the frequency which
means we might miss the message from time to time.
Maybe fixes#1804
Previously, we'd rely on the mtime timestamps of the touch files to see
if our sync/rotation requests were already suppressed. This means we
rely on CLOCK_REALTIME timestamps. With this patch we instead store the
CLOCK_MONOTONIC timestamp *in* the touch files, and avoid relying on
mtime.
This should make things more reliable when the clock or underlying mtime
granularity is not very good.
This also adds warning messages if writing any of the flag files fails.
Of course, ideally we'd just use normal synchronous bus calls, but this
is out of the question as long as we rely on dbus-daemon (which logs to
journald, and thus cannot use to avoid cyclic sync loops). Hence,
instead, reuse the wait logic already implemented for --sync, and use a
signal in one direction, and a mtime watch file for the reply.
With this new "--sync" switch we add a synchronous way to sync
everything queued to disk, and return only after that's complete. This
command gives the guarantee that anything queued before has hit the disk
before the command returns.
While we are at it, also improve the man pages and help text for
journalctl a bit.
The macro is generically useful for putting together search paths, hence
let's make it truly generic, by dropping the implicit ".d" appending it
does, and leave that to the caller. Also rename it from
CONF_DIRS_NULSTR() to CONF_PATHS_NULSTR(), since it's not strictly about
dirs that way, but any kind of file system path.
Also, mark CONF_DIR_SPLIT_USR() as internal macro by renaming it to
_CONF_PATHS_SPLIT_USR() so that the leading underscore indicates that
it's internal.
Otherwise we might run into deadlocks, when journald blocks on the
notify socket on PID 1, and PID 1 blocks on IPC to dbus-daemon and
dbus-daemon blocks on logging to journald. Break this cycle by making
sure that journald never ever blocks on PID 1.
Note that this change disables support for event loop watchdog support,
as these messages are sent in blocking style by sd-event. That should
not be a big loss though, as people reported frequent problems with the
watchdog hitting journald on excessively slow IO.
Fixes: #1505.
The files are named too generically, so that they might conflict with
the upstream project headers. Hence, let's add a "-util" suffix, to
clarify that this are just our utility headers and not any official
upstream headers.
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.
Adding them to the documentation makes it easier to find
the right man page for people who are trying to understand
where some socket in the filesystem is coming from.
If we were given some sockets through socket activation, and audit
socket is not among them, do not try to open it. This way, if the
socket unit is disabled, we will not receive audit events.

Implement a maximum limit on number of journal files to keep around.
Enforcing a limit is useful on this since our performance when viewing
pays a heavy penalty for each journal file to interleve. This setting is
turned on now by default, and set to 100.
Also, actully implement what 348ced9097
promised: use whatever we find on disk at startup as lower bound on how
much disk space we can use. That commit introduced some provisions to
implement this, but actually never did.
This also adds "journalctl --vacuum-files=" to vacuum files on disk by
their number explicitly.
