journalctl -f redirected to a pipe or file wasn't working for some
output formats but was working for json. It turns out only json was
doing an fflush.
Make all output formats flush.
In some cases, like wrong configuration, restarting after error
does not help, so administrator can specify statuses by RestartPreventExitStatus
which will not cause restart of a service.
Sometimes you have non-standart exit status, so this can be specified
by SuccessfulExitStatus.
- don't use pivot_root() anymore, just reuse root hierarchy
- first create all mounts, then mark them read-only so that we get the
right behaviour when people want writable mounts inside of
read-only mounts
- don't pass invalid combinations of MS_ constants to the kernel
Avoids compiler warning:
src/shared/utf8.c: In function 'ascii_filter':
src/shared/utf8.c:278:16: warning: assignment discards 'const' qualifier
from pointer target type [enabled by default]
also a number of minor fixups and bug fixes: spelling, oom errors
that didn't print errors, not properly forwarding error codes,
few more consistency issues, et cetera
glibc/glib both use "out of memory" consistantly so maybe we should
consider that instead of this.
Eliminates one string out of a number of binaries. Also fixes extra newline
in udev/scsi_id
A problem with systemd-tmpfiles has been observed where the service
failed just because one of the configuration directories could not be
read due to SELinux policy.
Complain about the failure, but try to go on.

There are other reasons for not opening the pager then the --no-pager
or --follow options (described below). If the pager is not used,
messages must be ellipsized.

When showing the journal through "journalctl --no-pager", if the
prefix of the log message (i.e. the date and syslog identifier) is
less than 3 characters shorter than the width of the terminal, you
get:
Assertion 'new_length >= 3' failed at src/shared/util.c:3859, function ellipsize_mem(). Aborting.
because there is not enough space for the "...". This patch add the
necessary check.
#pragma once has been "un-deprecated" in gcc since 3.3, and is widely supported
in other compilers.
I've been using and maintaining (rebasing) this patch for a while now, as
it annoyed me to see #ifndef fooblahfoo, etc all over the place,
almost arrogant about the annoyance of having to define all these names to
perform a commen but neccicary functionality, when a completely superior
alternative exists.
I havn't sent it till now, cause its kindof a style change, and it is bad
voodoo to mess with style that has been established by more established
editors. So feel free to lambast me as a crazy bafoon.
v2 - preserve externally used headers
If a pager is used, ellipsization is redundant — the pager does
that better by hiding the part that cannot be shown. Pager's advantage
is that the user can press → to view the hidden part of a message,
and then ← to return.
This adds a timeout if the TTY cannot be acquired and makes sure we
always output the question to the console, never to the TTY of the
respective service.
This makes sure that
systemctl status /home
is implicitly translated to:
systemctl status /home.mount
Similar, /dev/foobar becomes dev-foobar.device.
Also, all characters that cannot be part of a unit name are implicitly
escaped.
Supposed to prevent creating unit files like:
├── dev-sda1.device.wants
│ └── .dot.mount -> /run/systemd/generator/.dot.mount
├── .dot.mount
from:
# cat /etc/fstab
/dev/sda1 /.dot vfat ro 1 3
which we later skip reading because of the leading '.'.
This reverts commit 9b5af248f0.
Udev now explicitely labels only files/directories in /dev. The selinux
array API is not released and will not work on other distros at this moment.
src/shared/util.c includes <sys/capability.h> but doesn't use anything
defined there. Since <sys/capability.h> is part of libcap, not libc,
don't require it.
Allows systemd-without-udevd to require fewer external libraries.
systemd-udev is currently incorrectly labeling /run/udev/* content because it is
using selinux prefix labeling of /dev. This patch will allow systemd-udev to
use prefix labeling of /dev and /run.
This takes handling of chassis power and sleep keys as well as the lid
switch over from acpid.
This logic is enabled by default for power and sleep keys, but not for
the lid switch.
If a graphical session is in the foreground no action is taken under the
assumption that the graphical session does this.
This also ensures that caps dropped from the bounding set are also
dropped from the inheritable set, to be extra-secure. Usually that should
change very little though as the inheritable set is empty for all our uses
anyway.
Previously generated units were always placed at the end of the search
path. With this change there will be three unit dirs instead of one, to
place generated entries at the beginning, in the middle and at the end
of the search path:
beginning: for units that need to override all configuration, regardless
of user or vendor. Example use: system-update-generator uses this to
temporarily redirect default.target.
middle: for units that need to override vendor configuration, but not
vendor configuration. Example use: /etc/fstab should override vendor
supplied configuration (think /tmp), but should not override native user
configuration.
end: does not override anything but is available as well. Possible usage
might be to convert D-Bus bus service files to native units but allowing
vendor supplied native units to win.
Checking the device major/minor is not a good idea. Let's replace this
with an explicit flag file, which we model after /etc/os-release and
call /etc/initrd-release.
This should help making the boot process a bit easier to explore and
understand for the administrator. The simple idea is that "systemctl
status" now shows a link to documentation alongside the other status and
decriptionary information of a service.
This patch adds the necessary fields to all our shipped units if we have
proper documentation for them.
The alignment of the "[ OK ]" and "[FAILED]" status marks to the right
side of the terminal makes it difficult to link them with the messages
on the left if your console is wide.
I considered the options:
1. Align them to the 80th column regardless of the console width.
Disadvantage - either:
- truncating messages needlessly, not using available space; or
- If the message is long, write the mark over it. => ugly
2. Write them to the 80th column for short messages,
and further to the right for longer ones.
Disadvantage:
- jagged look
3. Write the marks on the left, before the message.
Disadvantage:
- Breaks tradition from RHL.
Advantages:
+ slightly simpler code
+ Will annoy holy-traditionalists.
I chose option 3.
BTW, Debian now uses similar marks on the left with its makefile-style
boot.
Special values of the "status" argument to status_vprintf are:
NULL - no status mark, no message indentation
"" - no status mark, message indented as if the mark was there
The red "[ABORT]" for a dependency failure is too scary.
It suggests a crash. And it suggests a problem with the unit itself.
Change it to a yellow "[DEPEND]" message. The color communicates the
level of seriousness better.
File names in /etc, /run, /usr/lib are sorted/overridden by basename.
Sorting things like "/dev/null" with the basename "null" in the hash
of config files breaks the ordering and the overriding logic.
This macro comes from kernel and it's useful for unwrapping structs
inside another one. The generated code is actually the same to the one
where this logic is used in udev, but using this macro is much cleaner
and less error prone.
In some cases the main/control PID of a service can be outside of the
services cgroups (for example, if logind readjusts the processes'
cgroup). In order to clarify this for the user show the main/control PID
in the cgroup tree nonetheless, but mark them specially.
We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to
relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+.
Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into
relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within
systemd.
The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT.
The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now
link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.
