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.
When we enumerate journal files and encounter an invalid one, remember
which this, and show it to the user.
Note the possibly slightly surprising logic here: we store only one path
per error code. This means we show all error kinds but not every actual
error we encounter. This has the benefit of not requiring us to keep a
potentially unbounded list of errors with their sources around, but can
still provide a pretty complete overview on the errors we encountered.
Fixes#1669.
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.
In sd-bus, the sd_bus_open_xyz() family of calls allocates a new bus,
while sd_bus_default_xyz() family tries to reuse the thread's default
bus. bus_open_transport() sometimes internally uses the former,
sometimes the latter family, but suggests it only calls the former via
its name. Hence, let's avoid this confusion, and generically rename the
call to bus_connect_transport().
Similar for all related calls.
And while we are at it, also change cgls + cgtop to do direct systemd
connections where possible, since all they do is talk to systemd itself.
This also allows us to drop build.h from a ton of files, hence do so.
Since we touched the #includes of those files, let's order them properly
according to CODING_STYLE.
Let's underline the header line of the table shown by cgtop, how it is
customary for tables. In order to do this, let's introduce new ANSI
underline macros, and clean up the existing ones as side effect.
off_t is a really weird type as it is usually 64bit these days (at least
in sane programs), but could theoretically be 32bit. We don't support
off_t as 32bit builds though, but still constantly deal with safely
converting from off_t to other types and back for no point.
Hence, never use the type anymore. Always use uint64_t instead. This has
various benefits, including that we can expose these values directly as
D-Bus properties, and also that the values parse the same in all cases.
The previous coccinelle semantic patch that improved usage of
log_error_errno()'s return value, only looked for log_error_errno()
invocations with a single parameter after the error parameter. Update
the patch to handle arbitrary numbers of additional arguments.
Turns this:
r = -errno;
log_error_errno(errno, "foo");
into this:
r = log_error_errno(errno, "foo");
and this:
r = log_error_errno(errno, "foo");
return r;
into this:
return log_error_errno(errno, "foo");
Previously the following command:
$ journalctl -f -t unmatchedtag12345
... would block when called with criteria that did not match any
journal lines. Once log lines appeared that matched the criteria
they were displayed.
Commit 02ab86c732 broke this
behavior and the journal was not followed, but the command
exits with '-- No entries --' displayed.
This commit fixes the issue.

sd_bus_flush_close_unref() is a call that simply combines sd_bus_flush()
(which writes all unwritten messages out) + sd_bus_close() (which
terminates the connection, releasing all unread messages) +
sd_bus_unref() (which frees the connection).
The combination of this call is used pretty frequently in systemd tools
right before exiting, and should also be relevant for most external
clients, and is hence useful to cover in a call of its own.
Previously the combination of the three calls was already done in the
_cleanup_bus_close_unref_ macro, but this was only available internally.
Also see #327
All functions should either log the errors they run into, or only return
them in which case the caller should log them.
Make sure this rule is followed, so that each error is logged precisely
once, and neither never, nor more than once.
This method should greatly improve offset based lookup, by simply jumping
from one boot to the next boot. It starts at the journal head to get the
a boot ID, makes a _BOOT_ID match and then comes from the opposite
journal direction (tail) to get to the end that boot. After flushing the matches
and advancing the journal from that exact position, we arrive at the start
of next boot. Rinse and repeat.
This is faster than the old method of aggregating the full boot listing just
so we can jump to a specific boot, which can be a real pain on big journals
just for a mere "-b -1" case.
As an additional benefit --list-boots should improve slightly too, because
it does less seeking.
Note that there can be a change in boot order with this lookup method
because it will use the order of boots in the journal, not the realtime stamp
stored in them. That's arguably better, though.
Another deficiency is that it will get confused with boots interleaving in the
journal, therefore, it will refuse operation in --merge, --file and --directory mode.

A variety of changes:
- Make sure all our calls distuingish OOM from other errors if OOM is
not the only error possible.
- Be much stricter when parsing escaped paths, do not accept trailing or
leading escaped slashes.
- Change unit validation to take a bit mask for allowing plain names,
instance names or template names or an combination thereof.
- Refuse manipulating invalid unit name
- fix some memory leaks on error conditions
- handle all error cases properly, and log about failures
- move HAVE_ACL and no-HAVE_ACL code closer to each other
