This is mostly cosmetic, but let's reorder the destructors so that
we do the final sd_notify() call before we run the destructor for
the manager object.
Presently, CLI utilities such as systemctl will check whether they have a tty
attached or not to decide whether to parse /proc/cmdline or EFI variable
SystemdOptions looking for systemd.log_* entries.
But this check will be misleading if these tools are being launched by a
daemon, such as a monitoring daemon or automation service that runs in
background.
Make log handling of CLI tools uniform by never checking /proc/cmdline or EFI
variables to determine the logging level.
Furthermore, introduce a new log_setup_cli() shortcut to set up common options
used by most command-line utilities.
This is a follow-up for 9f83091e3c.
Instead of reading the mtime off the configuration files after reading,
let's do so before reading, but with the fd we read the data from. This
is not only cleaner (as it allows us to save one stat()), but also has
the benefit that we'll detect changes that happen while we read the
files.
This also reworks unit file drop-ins to use the common code for
determining drop-in mtime, instead of reading system clock for that.
It annoyed me for quite a while that running "journalctl --file=…" on a
file that is not readable failed with a "File not found" error instead
of a permission error. Let's fix that.
We make this work by using the GLOB_NOCHECK flag for glob() which means
that files are not accessible will be returned in the array as they are
instead of being filtered away. This then means that our later attemps
to open the files will fail cleanly with a good error message.
Let's be helpful to static analyzers which care about whether we
knowingly ignore return values. We do in these cases, since they are
usually part of error paths.

This is very useful during development, because a precise version string is
embedded in the build product and displayed during boot, so we don't have to
guess answers for questions like "did I just boot the latest version or the one
from before?".
This change creates an overhead for "noop" builds. On my laptop, 'ninja -C
build' that does nothing goes from 0.1 to 0.5 s. It would be nice to avoid
this, but I think that <1 s is still acceptable.
Fixes#7183.
PACKAGE_VERSION is renamed to GIT_VERSION, to make it obvious that this is the
more dynamically changing version string.
Why save to a file? It would be easy to generate the version tag using
run_command(), but we want to go through a file so that stuff gets rebuilt when
this file changes. If we just defined an variable in meson, ninja wouldn't know
it needs to rebuild things.
PACKAGE_VERSION is more explicit, and also, we don't pretend that changing the
project name in meson.build has any real effect. "systemd" is embedded in a
thousand different places, so let's just use the hardcoded string consistently.
This is mostly in preparation for future changes.
This splits out a bunch of functions from fileio.c that have to do with
temporary files. Simply to make the header files a bit shorter, and to
group things more nicely.
No code changes, just some rearranging of source files.
Ideally, coccinelle would strip unnecessary braces too. But I do not see any
option in coccinelle for this, so instead, I edited the patch text using
search&replace to remove the braces. Unfortunately this is not fully automatic,
in particular it didn't deal well with if-else-if-else blocks and ifdefs, so
there is an increased likelikehood be some bugs in such spots.
I also removed part of the patch that coccinelle generated for udev, where we
returns -1 for failure. This should be fixed independently.
Now that we don't (mis-)use the env file parser to parse kernel command
lines there's no need anymore to override the used newline character
set. Let's hence drop the argument and just "\n\r" always. This nicely
simplifies our code.
This makes use of rlimit_nofile_bump() in all tools that access the
journal. In some cases this replaces older code to achieve this, and
others we add it in where it was missing.
This is a bit like the info link in most of GNU's --help texts, but we
don't do info but man pages, and we make them properly clickable on
terminal supporting that, because awesome.
I think it's generally advisable to link up our (brief) --help texts and
our (more comprehensive) man pages a bit, so this should be an easy and
straight-forward way to do it.
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.
Most our other parsing functions do this, let's do this here too,
internally we accept that anyway. Also, the closely related
load_env_file() and load_env_file_pairs() also do this, so let's be
systematic.
Double newlines (i.e. one empty lines) are great to structure code. But
let's avoid triple newlines (i.e. two empty lines), quadruple newlines,
quintuple newlines, …, that's just spurious whitespace.
It's an easy way to drop 121 lines of code, and keeps the coding style
of our sources a bit tigther.
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.
log.h really should only include the bare minimum of other headers, as
it is really pulled into pretty much everything else and already in
itself one of the most basic pieces of code we have.
Let's hence drop inclusion of:
1. sd-id128.h because it's entirely unneeded in current log.h
2. errno.h, dito.
3. sys/signalfd.h which we can replace by a simple struct forward
declaration
4. process-util.h which was needed for getpid_cached() which we now hide
in a funciton log_emergency_level() instead, which nicely abstracts
the details away.
5. sys/socket.h which was needed for struct iovec, but a simple struct
forward declaration suffices for that too.
Ultimately this actually makes our source tree larger (since users of
the functionality above must now include it themselves, log.h won't do
that for them), but I think it helps to untangle our web of includes a
tiny bit.
(Background: I'd like to isolate the generic bits of src/basic/ enough
so that we can do a git submodule import into casync for it)
This makes things a bit easier to read I think, and also makes sure we
always use the _unlikely_ wrapper around it, which so far we used
sometimes and other times we didn't. Let's clean that up.
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.
We don't have plural in the name of any other -util files and this
inconsistency trips me up every time I try to type this file name
from memory. "formats-util" is even hard to pronounce.
It's a common pattern, so add a helper for it. A macro is necessary
because a function that takes a pointer to a pointer would be type specific,
similarly to cleanup functions. Seems better to use a macro.
It is observed that a combination of high log throughput, low I/O speed on journal remote side and many nodes uploading simultaneously caused the journal-upload process to dump core because of watchdog starvation. This is caused because journal-upload stays in curl_easy_perform(), because it cannot upload fast enough to reach the end of the journal. Currently journal-upload will return from curl_easy_perform() only when the end of the journal is reached. Therefore a check is added in journal_input_callback(), which will update the watchdog if the elapsed time since the start of the uploading process is greater than WATCHDOG_USEC/2.
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.
