Whenever I see EXTRACT_QUOTES, I'm always confused whether it means to
leave the quotes in or to take them out. Let's say "unquote", like we
say "cunescape".
Make possible to set NUMA allocation policy for manager. Manager's
policy is by default inherited to all forked off processes. However, it
is possible to override the policy on per-service basis. Currently we
support, these policies: default, prefer, bind, interleave, local.
See man 2 set_mempolicy for details on each policy.
Overall NUMA policy actually consists of two parts. Policy itself and
bitmask representing NUMA nodes where is policy effective. Node mask can
be specified using related option, NUMAMask. Default mask can be
overwritten on per-service level.
The idea is to have at least one range to make the new format clearly
distinguishable from the old. But it is enough to just do it once.
In particular, in case the affinity would be specified like 0, 2, 4, 6…,
this gives much shorter output.
cpu_set_malloc() was the last user. It doesn't seem useful to keep
it just to save the allocation of a few hundred bytes in a test, so
it is dropped and a fixed maximum is allocated (1024 bytes).
The CPU_SET_S api is pretty bad. In particular, it has a parameter for the size
of the array, but operations which take two (CPU_EQUAL_S) or even three arrays
(CPU_{AND,OR,XOR}_S) still take just one size. This means that all arrays must
be of the same size, or buffer overruns will occur. This is exactly what our
code would do, if it received an array of unexpected size over the network.
("Unexpected" here means anything different from what cpu_set_malloc() detects
as the "right" size.)
Let's rework this, and store the size in bytes of the allocated storage area.
The code will now parse any number up to 8191, independently of what the current
kernel supports. This matches the kernel maximum setting for any architecture,
to make things more portable.
Fixes#12605.
This doesn't have much effect on the final build, because we link libbasic.a
into libsystemd-shared.so, so in the end, all the object built from basic/
end up in libsystemd-shared. And when the static library is linked into binaries,
any objects that are included in it but are not used are trimmed. Hence, the
size of output artifacts doesn't change:
$ du -sb /var/tmp/inst*
54181861 /var/tmp/inst1 (old)
54207441 /var/tmp/inst1s (old split-usr)
54182477 /var/tmp/inst2 (new)
54208041 /var/tmp/inst2s (new split-usr)
(The negligible change in size is because libsystemd-shared.so is bigger
by a few hundred bytes. I guess it's because symbols are named differently
or something like that.)
The effect is on the build process, in particular partial builds. This change
effectively moves the requirements on some build steps toward the leaves of the
dependency tree. Two effects:
- when building items that do not depend on libsystemd-shared, we
build less stuff for libbasic.a (which wouldn't be used anyway,
so it's a net win).
- when building items that do depend on libshared, we reduce libbasic.a as a
synchronization point, possibly allowing better parallelism.
Method:
1. copy list of .h files from src/basic/meson.build to /tmp/basic
2. $ for i in $(grep '.h$' /tmp/basic); do echo $i; git --no-pager grep "include \"$i\"" src/basic/ 'src/lib*' 'src/nss-*' 'src/journal/sd-journal.c' |grep -v "${i%.h}.c";echo ;done | less
